==== OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE ====
Landmark Franchise Evolves Into a Third-Person Shooter This Fall
LOS ANGELES, USA - Square Enix, Inc., the publisher of SQUARE ENIX® interactive entertainment products in North America, announced today that the North American
launch date for FRONT MISSION EVOLVED™ has been updated to September 14, 2010. Developed in collaboration
by Double Helix Games and Square Enix, the riveting third-person shooter will be available on PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and in stereoscopic 3D for Windows PC.
FRONT MISSION EVOLVED breaks the mold of the franchise, delivering the action-packed experience of a third-person shooter within the distinct aesthetic of the FRONT MISSION® universe. Set in a world full of destruction, conspiracy and crumbling alliances, players will take on the role of Dylan Ramsey to face enemy armies while in control of a giant, customizable, bipedal tank known as a wanzer. Every wanzer is outfitted with extreme firepower, and players must fight through critical battles across a world on the brink of total war. As they make their way through metropolises such as New York City over 150 years in the future, FRONT MISSION EVOLVED will embed players in heart-pounding, large-scale action unlike anything they've ever seen before.
In addition to the single-player campaign, four different multiplayer modes allow players to enter a new battlefield solo or in a team. Players will be able to pit their highly customized wanzers against opponents from around the world so they may prove the superiority of their own war machines.
"Both Square Enix and Double Helix Games are committed to delivering the ultimate, evolved FRONT MISSION experience," said Ami Blaire, Vice President, Marketing of Square Enix, Inc. "This installment advances the franchise into the third-person shooter genre, and come fall, fans will be blown away by the high-octane action that FRONT MISSION EVOLVED offers."
