Gaming News - June 2003
Parkville, MD (June 11, 2003) - Enlight, a leading entertainment
software developer and publisher, announced today that its next title will be
based on the major conquests of Joan of Arc. Under development for more than a
year, Joan of Arc allows players to relive and command forces in the Hundred
Years War between France and England.
From Enlight:
In 1429, Joan of Arc inspired her faltering country to take up arms against
occupying English troops. Joan of Arc will allow players to experience this epic
period and some of the most intense battles fought in medieval Europe. In the
game, players transform from a single warrior into a forceful military leader as
they develop and master the art of chivalry and tactical warfare. In addition to
action elements, Joan of Arc requires that individuals play strategically to
successfully advance through the game.
"Joan of Arc captures the true essence of medieval Europe with its historical
depiction of the battles, weaponry and people Joan of Arc encountered as she led
the resistance to the English invasion of France," said Trevor Chan, CEO of
Enlight. "The game uniquely combines action and strategy elements and will give
players the chance to fully experience the incredible journey of this important
era."
Joan of Arc showcases a brand new state-of-the-art graphics engine. With
rich, detailed terrain, the game allows real-time control and command of legions
of military units, realistically depicting the mayhem and severity of medieval
warfare. Joan of Arc will contain a series of individual battles as well as
massive strategic campaigns between French and English troops. The game is set
for release in mid-November 2003 and will be published by Enlight Interactive,
the company's US publishing division.
