Montreal,
Canada (Friday April 23, 2004) –


Publisher Strategy First announced today that it will be bringing
Chaos League
, a fantasy sports
game that combines strategy with hard-hitting action from French developer
Cyanide, to the North American market.
Chaos League
is scheduled to ship in North America in Q2 2004 for
the PC. The game has not yet been rated.


 


Chaos
League
features unbelievable sports action,” said Don McFatridge,
President of Strategy First Inc. “The brutality, ferocity and intensity of
this game paired with RTS elements that force players to use their skills and
spells to plot their next big play make it a unique, action-packed addition to
the PC market.”


 


"We are delighted to be
working with Strategy First on Chaos League. They have proven their strength
at publishing strategy titles and we felt they were the ideal partner for the
release of an original title like Chaos League in North America," says Patrick
Pligersdorffer, CEO of Cyanide.


 


Chaos
League

combines sports, fantasy and brutal, chaotic action on a playing field where
the primary objectives are typical but the gameplay is anything but. Players
must score points, win games, advance to championship rounds, and of course
compete for the ultimate trophy, but Chaos
League
serves up some extra excitement with its absence of rules,
corrupt referees and mythical, powerful opponents.


Chaos
League

features 10 different games
with 70 players to choose from, including monsters, star players and mythical
creatures. Players can use 170 different spells and skills to score points in
several gameplay modes including solo mode, career mode and multiplayer mode.


 


Chaos
League

will premiere at this year’s E3 Expo May 12-14th at the Los Angeles
Convention Center. Strategy First will be in West Hall, Booth 2208. For more
