The Date Which Will.. Announce a Game?
Blue's News points out that Legendo Entertaiment is getting a little marketing play out of the "date which will live in infamy," announcing their game, Attack on Pearl Harbor, on the anniversary of the real attack launched on Pearl Harbor.
The PC World War II arcade air-combat game is expected to go on sale early next year. Which gives us a few months to think about how incredibly tacky it is to use such an infamous date to promote a game. I can't wait for the Sept. 11 announcement of Sept. 11 The Game !!! Hit the jump for the press release. The one about Pearl Harbor, not 9/11.
Attack on Pearl Harbor features four campaigns, plus a "quick play" dogfight game mode. In addition to the initial Japanese attack on Hawaii, the game also offers a host of famed and challenging scenarios such as the Battle of Midway, Iwo Jima, Burma and Manila. Each campaign spans several months during 1941-1945, offering an exciting and varied selection of missions each 30-day period. "Thanks to the talented team at 3D People, we've produced a gorgeous "pick up and play" aerial combat experience that recreates all the intensity and atmosphere of the Pacific War," said Bjorn Larsson, CEO, Legendo Entertainment. "We look forward to bringing this stunning game to the masses in early 2007." Peter Nagy, project manager at 3D People, continued, "We're thrilled to partner with Legendo on this exciting new title. Attack on Pearl Harbor isn't just amazing-looking. It's also been designed from the ground up to be fun and accessible to the widest possible audience." Chris Bateman, Managing Director of International Hobo Ltd, which provides game design and dialogue scripting services for 3D People and other clients added: "It's been a delight to see this game come together. The title provides a very different perspective on World War II by affording audiences the chance to see the conflict from either side while remaining brilliantly playable."
