KIRKLAND, Wash. - LithTech™, Inc., a leading developer of

Triton is the power behind TRON® 2.0, the compelling science fiction game in development that
chronicles the adventures of computer programmer Jet Bradley. The LithTech Triton System is the
visual effects -heavy derivative of LithTech’s leading-edge Jupiter system, the foundation for

capabilities of Jupiter with unparalleled special effects, Triton promises to make TRON 2.0 one

functionality to include features like a third person camera perspective and a vehicle physics
system used to create the exciting Light Cycle races in TRON 2.0. Developers can make use of
defensive weapons that include blocking capabilities with shields, providing an extra layer of
depth to game play. In addition, Triton provides developers with the option of utilizing a drag
and drop inventory system. Those developers wanting to push the envelope with special FX like
geometry outlining must take a look at Triton.

addition to our broad group of development solutions,” said LithTech CEO Jeffery Hutt. “For

possible. Whether it be complete, established products designed to tackle aggressive production
goals or streamlined systems that support all major gaming platforms and genres, LithTech
remains focused on meeting the needs of today’s developer.”

of the first movies to truly explore the link between the digital and real world,” said Francois
Robillard, vice president of production at Disney Interactive. “We are looking forward to seeing
that vision taken to the next level through the LithTech Triton System. The effects generated by
this system should make the strange, alternate world of a computer visually rich and immersive.”
