Gaming News - April 2002

New York, NY (April 30, 2002) - Codemasters today revealed the first images of two of the dragons appearng in its forthcoming game, Dragon Empires. The Dragon Empires’ development team is currently breathing life into these magnificent beasts, one for each of the land’s five empires.

“The dragons are proving a really exciting talking point within the growing community,” says Ted Carron, producer of Dragon Empires. “The empire dragons will be fantastical beasts; hybrids of traditional dragons and creatures that stem from the mythology of their particular empire; these first ones revealed are a bird dragon and a Mandrill dragon.”

In a world developed with the help of leading author Piers Anthony, dragons form much of the heritage. Long before the time when the game is set, the world descended into chaos only to survive thanks to these great dragons. In the game, they are a guarding force across the five empires and players may discover more about the empire dragons’ origins through their adventures.

The game’s Beta Test program is scheduled to begin this summer. To be one of first to sample life in the game world and help shape Dragon Empires, gamers can sign up for the Beta Test at: http://www.codemasters.com/dragonempires/beta_form.php

The English language version of Dragon Empires is scheduled to be available this autumn for PC gamers. The game will be launched as a boxed product with players subscribing on a monthly basis to play.

The game’s web site, including its forum, IRC chat and Beta Test program, is located at: http://www.codemasters.com/dragonempires.
