MIDWAY ENTERS BATTLE ARENA WITH GLADIATOR: THE CRIMSON REIGN
All-New Brutally Realistic Gladiator-based 3-D Fighting Game Pits Gamers Against Gladiators In a Battle for Survival
CHICAGO – August 2, 2002 – Midway Games Inc. (NYSE: MWY), a leading software industry publisher and developer, announced today that Gladiator: The Crimson ReignTM, an all-new gladiator-based 3-D fighting game, is in development and scheduled to ship in 2003 for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, the XboxTM video game system from Microsoft and Nintendo GameCubeTM.
In Gladiator: The Crimson Reign, gamers journey back to ancient Rome, 79 A.D., during a time when warrior slaves fought for their freedom in gruesome battles to the death. Assuming the role of a warrior slave – and armed with a unique combination fighting system that renders never-before-seen combo moves and attacks – players battle against fellow slaves and mythical monsters in gladiator-style tournaments. Players choose from fierce and ruthless gladiators such as Kalen, Brennos and Appollonia, and engage in hard-fought battles in old world cities and amphitheaters spread throughout the Roman Empire.
“Gladiator: The Crimson Reign combines mythological gods, beasts, legends and lore with the shocking reality of the Roman Empire’s ferocious arena fighting, delivering a brutally realistic fighting experience,” said David Burton, European marketing, Midway.
In the game, players travel to immersive and interactive environments including Pompeii, Athens, Babylon and Alexandria, fighting for their lives in contests such as Last Man Standing, Gladiator Versus Beast, Team Battle and Money Match, where they can simultaneously battle against multiple opponents. As players advance in tournament battle the arenas become larger and the opponents stronger, forcing gladiators to increase abilities such as dexterity, speed, strength and endurance if they want to survive. To aid gladiators in battle, armor and weaponry such as daggers, axes, swords and shields can be acquired in exchange for booty won in previous competitions. The longest and hardest battle in each championship commences with the final battle, where players are pitted against brute arena champions and mythical beasts as they endeavor to regain their freedom.
