‘DEMIGOD’ RISES TO THE PANTHEON IN EUROPE

– Localised Versions of Stunning and Addictive PC Action Strategy Title Available at Retailers in Australia- 

– 1 June 2009 – Atari Australia today announced the launch of Demigod, the innovative PC hybrid gaming experience developed by Gas Powered Games that blends action, strategy and role-playing elements.  Demigod is now available at retailers in Australia.

Demigod has been well-received by players and press in the US, reaching the number 3 spot in the US PC charts excluding digital sales, and attracting praise for its stunning graphics and deep, intense gameplay that seamlessly mixes elements from multiple genres. 

 

“We are extremely happy with how well Demigod has been received so far,” said Stardock’s CEO and president Brad Wardell. “European Demigod fans will enjoy this exciting title the way it was intended as we have been working hard with Gas Powered Games to continually enhance the multiplayer experience.  Players in Europe will find out for themselves that Demigod is a force to be reckoned with!”

 

“We are very excited to see the game made available in Europe and Asia,” said Chris Taylor, CEO of Gas Powered Games. “With the enhancements the team has implemented since its US launch, players will be able to experience its unique gameplay, spectacular visuals, and out-of-this-world character and map designs.”

 

Set in a magical world where gods walk among mortals, players can choose from a dozen unique demigods to battle their way into the pantheon of the gods.  Each demigod has their own special skills, powers and capabilities that can be upgraded by capturing enemy citadels and brushing aside hordes of rival minions.  The brutal conflicts take place in a variety of arenas where players can purchase better equipment and improve their faction’s Citadel with the ultimate goal of laying waste to the opposing faction.
