Game News - Eidos Picks Up Infernal And Ancient Wars: Sparta

   Playlogic have been delaying their games like crazy over the past year or so. But luckily, Eidos stepped up and will help them publish a couple of PC titles, namely Ancient Wars: Sparta and Infernal (formerly known as Diabolique: License to Sin). Both games are carrying a Q1 2007 launch frame for the time being, and they will be distributed by Eidos throughout the world, except from a few countries. According to the two companies' agreement, these exceptions will be Russia and Japan for Infernal, and Russia, Italy, Spain and Latin America for Ancient Wars: Sparta.

   Ancient Wars: Sparta is developed by Russian developer World Forge and provides players a true Real-Time Strategy experience. Ancient Wars: Sparta takes place in the ancient Mediterranean between 500 and 450 BC and is based on realistic historical settings. In command of either the Spartans, Egyptians or Persians you fight for supremacy in the region.

Infernal, developed by Polish studio Metropolis, is a third-person shooter for the PC (although at some point it was also set for the Xbox 360). The game tells the story of Ryan Lennox, a fallen angel, who has been recruited by hell to restore the balance between Good and Evil. Infernal makes use of 'Ageia PhysX software', enhancing the realistic effects of the game, and also supports the 'Ageia PhysX card' for even more stunning visuals.
"It's great to be working with Playlogic and to have these two exciting titles added to our 2007 PC line-up," said Scott Dodkins, European Managing Director, Eidos. "We know both titles are highly anticipated and we look forward to bringing them to market."    The official website of Infernal is now online at www.infernalgame.com, which can't be said for the official website of Ancient Wars: Sparta - www.ancientwarssparta.com - currently offline. Further information about these games can also be found on www.playlogicgames.com.
