EA TO PUBLISH NAMCO’S SPAWN : ARMAGEDDON ON PLAYSTATION®2, XBOX® & NINTENDO GAMECUBE™ ACROSS PAL TERRITORIES
Chertsey, UK. – 12th November 2003 – Electronic Arts (Nasdaq:ERTS), the world’s leading interactive entertainment software company, today officially announced plans to publish Spawn Armageddon for Namco Limited for the PLAYSTATION2 computer entertainment system, the Xbox ® video game system & the Nintendo GameCube™ video system across PAL territories.
Spawn®: Armageddon is due to be released in PAL territories in March 2004 & will be fully localized into English, French, German, Spanish & Italian.
Spawn®: Armageddon is a thrilling, mission-based action/adventure game that thrusts players into the role of the famous anti-hero, Spawn®.
Set against the backdrop of a dark, near-future New York City environment, Spawn® is caught in the battle of Good vs. Evil . The intuitive controls allow players to maneuver their way through various interactive and destructible environments which include 25 missions with over 60 sublevels, as Spawn® struggles to break free of the controlling forces of Heaven and Hell. Based on the first 99 comic books in the Spawn® series, Spawn®: Armageddon features all of Spawn®’s signature abilities including his vast arsenal of weapons, Hell Powers, superhuman strength and his living, symbiotic costume.
About Spawn®
Spawn® was a comic book first published by McFarlane and friends who spun off from the mainstream comic publishing industry in 1992.
Spawn® is a dark hero, troubled with the dual aspects of good and evil found in all people. With an appeal to adults, Spawn® broke the mould in American comics, selling 1.7 million in its first issue. Published on a monthly basis, Spawn® has continuously gained new fans, and is now read by people in 80 countries around the world, translated into 30 languages. It has reached a total of 24 million sales in the US.
Aspiring to bring this character to perfection as a toy, Todd McFarlane started up a toy manufacturer in 1994 and began selling Spawn® figures. Featuring details not found on any other toy, Spawn® toys became a huge hit, igniting a global boom in figures. A total of 2.8million figures have been sold around the globe, with new products constantly being released.
Spawn® also developed into an animated television series, broadcast on American cable networks, and was made into a Hollywood film in 1997. Announcements have been made for a theatrical movie at the end of 2004.
