The
most popular (and lethal) squirrel in the world, Conker, is readying
his plans to invade gamers' homes as Microsoft Game Studios announced
today that Conker: Live and Reloaded for Xbox® has gone gold. Set to
ship to retail on June 21 for a suggested retail price of $49.99
(U.S.), Conker: Live and Reloaded, developed
by the award-winning team at Rare, will drop gamers
onto the front lines of an epic battle between the noble
Squirrels and the vicious Tediz.
Gaming’s
notoriously naughty squirrel—Conker—arrives on Xbox with a bang in an all-new Xbox Live™-enabled
team-based shooter, Conker: Live &
Reloaded. Featuring intense deathmatch and campaign storyline
modes via Xbox Live and system link, players can compete as
one of six combat specialists across multi-mission campaigns covering
Old War and Future War. The Live
gameplay promises to deliver the non-stop action, humor,
gratuitous violence and intensity
for which Conker is
famous.
Also included is the
critically acclaimed single-player game, Conker’s Bad Fur Day,
completely recreated for the Xbox with stunning graphics and "reloaded"
attitude.For
