Latest Downloadable Episode to Feature Ruthless New Characters, Deadly Weapons and Swagger-Worthy Wearable Items Downloadable from Xbox LIVE® Arcade and PlayStation®Network

Gold Coast, Australia – 9 August 2010 – Global video game publisher 505 Games and developer Artificial Mind & Movement (A2M) today announced plans to release a new pirate-themed downloadable episode for the Naughty Bear video game via Xbox LIVE® Arcade and PlayStation®Network. Episode 9 will soon lay siege to the Island of Perfection with even more mischievous action, including all-new characters, costumes and challenges.

Filled with exclusive hidden treasures, deadly weapons and brutal buccaneers, in Episode 9, players will be able to plot a course through four new challenges. As the terrors of the high seas come ashore to battle, players will encounter the other Bears and their leader, Admiral Giggles, as well as The Pirates and their leader, The Great Beard Bear.

To commend their efforts in combat, Episode 9 will allow players to don two new hats – Admiral Naughty and Pirate Naughty. Players can also choose to dress Naughty in his own version of the Pirate Bear costume or assume the identity of The Great Beard Bear, and even collect the lethal cutlass, a classic pirate’s curved sword with unique ultra-kill capabilities.

Naughty Bear is now available in Australia and New Zealand for Xbox 360 and PlayStation3. The free downloadable content will be available by the end of September on Xbox Live Arcade for 400 MS points and on the PlayStation Network for the local price equivalent of $4.99USD.
