Video Gaming News - June 2003
Los Angeles, CA (June 2, 2003) - Vivendi Universal Games announced
today the upcoming sci-fi action game Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter has gone gold
for the Xbox and the PlayStation 2. Both versions are scheduled to ship to
retailers on June 19, 2003. Versions of the game for GameCube and Windows PC are
scheduled to ship September 2, 2003.
From Vivendi Universal:
Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter takes place hundreds of years in the future, where
both human and alien settlers are rapidly colonizing the galaxy, and places
players into the role of an ex-special ops officer, Mace Griffin. Against a
backdrop of corporate, political and religious intrigue, Griffin is framed for
his comrades' deaths. After a ten-year stint in prison, he becomes a bounty
hunter, a vocation that gives him access to classified information and a means
to aggressively search for the people who set him up to fall. The hallmark of
the game is its ability to seamlessly transition the player from first-person
action set on alien worlds to intense combat in the depths of space.
The character of Mace Griffin is being brought to life by hard rock front man
(Black Flag, Rollins Band), actor ("The Chase," "Johnny Mnemonic"), and spoken
word artist Henry Rollins. Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter, developed by U.K.-based
Warthog, will ship to retailers with the suggested price of $49.99 and an ESRB
rating of "M" for Mature. Further information about the game can be found at
