Los Angeles, CA (November 3, 2003) - Vivendi Universal Games today

From VU Games:
Hunter: The Reckoning Redeemer, the sequel to last year's sleeper hit Hunter:
The Reckoning, returns players to the White Wolf gothic fantasy world where an
elite team of monster hunters attempt to stop a preternatural onslaught from
engulfing the innocent town of Ashcroft. The high speed hack n' slash game-play
has been emblazed with a multitude of additional features including a new
playable character, new combat moves for all the characters, new edges (spells),
new weapons, new monsters and bosses. Additional costume sets for all of the
Hunters will be available at launch via Xbox Live.
"Just in time for Halloween, Hunter: The Reckoning Redeemer immerses players
in a sleek gothic world filled with hideous abominations and unholy monsters,"
said Philip O'Neil Sr. Vice President Sales & Marketing, Vivendi Universal
Games. "Offering all new content, fast-paced combat, an in-depth storyline and
addictive game-play, Hunter: The Reckoning Redeemer, brings out the big guns for
the latest installment of the franchise."
In the game, players are again set in the once sleepy town of Ashcroft, where
the citizens are enjoying a rejuvenated city with clean streets and a thriving
commercial district, funded by the town's largest employer Genefex. Unbeknownst
to them the company has been lacing their products with supernatural
poison...slowly turning those who consume the products into monstrous servants
of destruction. The new young Hunter, Kaylie, has been investigating these
mysteries during the night. As her investigations grow closer to finding the
truth she is spotted and evil forces delay her inquiries. The time has arrived
for the expanded team of five Hunters to defeat the evil looming underneath the
clean surface of Ashcroft and discover the truth about Genefex.
Hunter: The Reckoning Redeemer will be available on the Xbox video game
system from Microsoft for a suggested retail price of $49.99 with an expected
ESRB "Mature" rating. For more information, log on to
