Players Rock Greek Gods Back to
Mount Olympus In This Frenetic, Action-Shooter
San Francisco – June 10, 2003 – Ubi Soft Entertainment rocks PCs back to ancient
Greece with the launch of Will Rock, a high-adrenaline first-person shooter for
the PC. Will Rock transports players to the ancient world of Greek Gods and
mythical creatures, where legions of enemies attack from every corner. Armed
with enough weapons to service a small country, Will Rock satisfies any shooter
fan’s trigger fix. Will Rock is also the first game to feature the Black Box
Interactive Game Guide™, a fully-interactive strategy guide included in the
game. Will Rock is rated “M—Mature” and is available at retail locations
nationwide.
“Will Rock’s high-adrenaline, frenetic gameplay lets shooter fans rediscover
their love for the pure shooter,” said Tony Kee, vice president of marketing for
Ubi Soft Entertainment. “The inclusion of the Black Box Interactive Game Guide
is an added bonus for any gamer.”
Developed by Saber Interactive, Will Rock’s story focuses on Willford Rockwell (aka
Will Rock), an unlikely hero whose body is inhabited by the spirit of an
extremely angry Titan. The visually stunning environments make players believe
they have traveled back to Ancient Greece, and they’ll be armed with enough
weapons to single-handedly win the Trojan War. Will Rock’s proprietary next-gen,
3D engine and unique weaponry let players do a little more than shoot holes in
enemies. Will Rock’s tough boss enemies — including Medusa, Cyclops and Zeus —
are the most feared gods in history. To these bad asses, bullets are like
mosquito bites. Luckily for players, Will’s weapons — including the Medusa Gun,
Flaming Crossbow and Acid Rifle — can melt, inflate and even shatter both
enemies and the environment. The game’s "real-time shattering" technology allows
players to break almost everything they see, providing a truly interactive
experience. Players will interact against lightning blot throwing, Zeus, in the
game’s grand finale to see who is the true king of the gods.
Will Rock’s 10 dizzying single-player levels and additional expertly designed
multiplayer maps is jam packed with frenetic shooting action that will make the
most experienced gamer sweat. With Will Rock’s advanced gameplay technology and
level design, players must rely on quick thinking and reactions to solve
environmental puzzles and survive the hardcore action!
