Gaming News - April 2002
Los Angeles, CA (April 10, 2002) - Sierra and Fox Interactive
announced today the development of the Aliens versus Predator 2: Primal Hunt
expansion pack. Aliens versus Predator 2: Primal Hunt continues the
nail-biting terror and suspense from the original Aliens versus Predator
2. With all new single-player and multi-player levels, weapons, and new
player characters, this original interlocking story is an all out battle of
three of the deadliest species in the universe as the Aliens versus Predator 2
saga begins.
"We're all thrilled to be working with the extraordinarily talented
chaps at Third Law on the Primal Hunt expansion pack. The brand new set of
interlocking adventures in Primal Hunt ties in perfectly with AvP2 by giving
players some prior history of the events that took place and by giving them
another perspective as well," said Dave Stalker, Producer, Fox Interactive.
"The community has been asking for new single player levels, new
characters, new weapons and new multiplayer levels...Primal Hunt delivers them
all!"
From Sierra:
Primal Hunt, developed by Third Law Interactive, has the Predalien and
Predator stories moving back 500 years prior to the events of Aliens versus
Predator 2. Before the humans set up the research facility on Planet LV1201,
Predators frequented the planet for the sole purpose to hunt Aliens. On a
routine hunt, a Predator stumbles upon ancient Pilot ruins and discovers an
Artifact of great power that, as legend has it, controls Aliens and keeps them
at bay. That same fateful day an accident causes our hero Predator to become
trapped in a stasis field. 500 years later, he is discovered and inadvertently
revived by a human named Dunya who is trying to retrieve the Artifact for the
mercenaries she works for. As the Predator secretly follows her back to base, he
unknowingly allows Aliens access to the human facilities. While the Aliens wreak
havoc, a lone Predalien searches out the Artifact to try to destroy it before it
becomes active again.
As this terrifying story begins to unfold, players become one of the three
heroic and deadly characters that are all fully prepared to do what it takes to
take ownership of this powerful and sought after artifact. Choose to play as the
Predator that becomes trapped in stasis only to awaken 500 years later, the
human corporate mercenary, Dunya, or as the Predalien, a twisted hybrid of Alien
and Predator.
