UBISOFT ANNOUNCES PANZER GENERAL
ALLIED ASSAULT FOR XBOX LIVE ARCADE
Explosive Strategy Game Devolved
by Petroglyph Coming to Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360 video game and
entertainment system from Microsoft.
Today, Ubisoft announces it will be
releasing Panzer General®: Allied Assault on Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360®
video game and entertainment system from Microsoft in the Fall 2009. Developed
by Petroglyph, Panzer General: Allied Assault is an all-new single and
multiplayer digital card game that takes place during the last phase of World
War II, from 1944 to 1945. The dramatic events of D-Day finally gave the Allies
a foothold on Fortress Europe, allowing them to push the Germans back to Berlin.
Players can recreate actual battles such as Utah Beach, Operation Market Garden,
and the infamous Battle of the Bulge in the hopes of turning back the German
tide. Build, customize and fight with your personalized deck of 60 digital
cards. History is in your hands.
Ranked as one of the top 50 computer
games of all time and quoted by PC Gamer Magazine as "Criminally Addictive”, the
Panzer General franchise has spawned a loyal following of dedicated fans eager
for more turn-based strategy action. This all-new strategy game title comes
after five successful releases under its belt.
