Video Gaming News - March 2004
Redmond, WA (March 18, 2004) - Microsoft Game Studios today announced
that Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict for Xbox is currently in
development and is scheduled to arrive on retail shelves in fall 2004. Unreal
Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict is being developed by Epic Games, the
creators of the Unreal franchise.
From Microsoft:
Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict will revolutionize the shooter
genre with its high intensity melee combat system, optional third-person
perspective and unique character combos. No longer solely bound to the
first-person perspective, players can switch to third-person mode for lethal
melee attacks and defensive combos; including the devastating reflect move,
which sends an incoming attack back to the sender with interest.
Characters in the game will also be more mobile and agile. Each Unreal character
will use their own personalized arsenal of jumping, flipping and spinning moves
to help players make full use of the new environments. Unique Adrenaline
combo-powers supercharge the strength and deadliness of character attacks and
defenses, while cranking up character speed and mobility to superhuman levels.
Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict will offer gamers two new single
player experiences to challenge their Unreal combat skills. In the single player
campaign, players will fight their way through new cities and arenas as they
take on the role of Anubis in his attempt to retake his people’s Nakhti Rite of
Ascension Tournament from the machinations of the omnipresent Liandri
Corporation. In the single player tournament, gamers will fight through a
tournament ladder as one of the many unlockable characters in the game. Unreal
Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict will also offer players the chance to fight
head-to-head in eight player tournaments over Xbox Live or System Link. The game
will take advantage of Xbox Live's leaderboards, making it obvious who the
ultimate tournament champions are.
