Beverly, MA (March 1, 2005) - Atari today announced that Act of War:
Direct Action has gone gold and is on schedule for its March 15 ship date.
“This collaboration of a New York Times best-selling author, a feature film
production company and a very talented development house is an example of
Atari’s commitment to pushing the creative envelope by encouraging talent from
all aspects of the entertainment industry to connect with consumers in an
exciting new way,” said Wim Stocks, executive vice president of sales and
marketing for Atari. “The creative influence of these industry outsiders has
raised the bar for what can be achieved in interactive entertainment and Act of
War: Direct Action is the new benchmark.”
From Atari:
Act of War: Direct Action is a graphically stunning and frighteningly
plausible tale of suspense, international intrigue and geopolitical military
conflict. Through a techno-thriller story constructed by military expert and
author Dale Brown, this real-time strategy experience puts players squarely in
control of counterterrorist forces to defend cities of the world. As commander
of a newly formed anti-terror military unit known as the Talon Task Force,
players will need to recruit combat units, develop technologies, manage finite
resources, and deploy their forces against a cunning and ruthless terror
network. The single player Act of War: Direct Action demo is taken from the
game’s sixth mission set in Egypt entitled ‘Falling Hawk’.
Developed by Eugen Systems with a storyline and game universe created in
cooperation with Dale Brown, New York Times best-selling author and expert on US
military, global conflict and future military technology, Act of War: Direct
Action is scheduled to release on March 15, 2005 for the personal computer at a
suggested retail price $49.99.
