Commandos
Strike Force Announced
(PC,
PS2, XB)
Press
Release
San
Francisco, CA (October 14th, 2004)- (NASDAQ: EIDSY), one of the
world's leading publishers and developers of entertainment software,
today announced the return of the legendary Commandos in the World War
II first person shooter Commandos Strike Force. Developed by Pyro
Studios, Commandos Strike Force will be released worldwide in spring
2005 on PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC.
In a new direction for the multi-million selling series, Commandos
Strike Force takes you right into the heart of the action from a first
person perspective. Take control of the three members of the
'Strike Force' unit, each with their own play style. Switch
between the Green Beret, always at the heart of the action with his
expertise in combat and the use of heavy weaponry, the Sniper with his
nerves of steel and expert marksmanship, and the Spy, stealthily
striking at the heart of the enemy. However, it is up to you how you
execute plans of attack by combining the Commandos' unique skills.
Set in war torn Europe amid the backdrop of World War II, you must take
your elite group of Commandos behind enemy lines on a series of linked
missions through France, Russia and Norway. Destroying a Nazi
ship, ambushing enemy troops, freeing French Resistance prisoners and
kidnapping a general are a few of the large range of missions. As well
as a compelling single player campaign, the game features a variety of
original online multiplayer modes. In the most fearsome war ever fought
emerged the most fearless soldiers.
Ignacio Perez, CEO of Pyro Studios says:
"By combining the tactical approach of the previous Commandos games
with the intense action of a fps, Commandos Strike Force will provide a
more cerebral approach to the war game genre. Strike Force is our most
ambitious project ever and we believe that this game will set a new
benchmark for World War II videogames."
Mike McGarvey, CEO of Eidos says:
"The Commandos series has established itself as one of the most
popular and enduring franchises within the World War II genre. With this
evolution of the series coupled with Pyro Studios' proven expertise, we
are confident that Commandos Strike Force will be the greatest episode
in the series to date."
