MACE GRIFFIN
BOUNTY HUNTER(tm) FOR THE PC TO SHIP TO RETAIL FOR THE HOLIDAYS
MumboJumbo Obtains PC
Publishing and Distribution Rights from Vivendi Universal Games
DALLAS, TX (December 03, 2003) - MumboJumbo, a
subsidiary of United Developers, LLC, announced today that the sci-fi action
shooter Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter(tm)
will be shipping to retail stores nationwide for personal computer systems.
The product, to be published and distributed by MumboJumbo, is currently in
production and expected to hit retail shelves in early December. MumboJumbo
signed an agreement with Vivendi Universal Games earlier this month for the PC
publishing and distribution rights.
Against a futuristic backdrop of corporate, religious and political intrigue,
players will take up the quest of Mace Griffin, once a valued member of an
elite police force, The Rangers. Griffin becomes the unsuspecting pawn in a
sabotaged incident that kills his comrades and disbands the Rangers, and earns
him a 10-year stint behind bars. Emerging from prison hardened and bitter, he
becomes a bounty hunter, a vocation that gives him access to classified
information and a means to aggressively search for the people who set him up
to fall. The character of Mace Griffin is being brought to life by hard rock
front man, actor and spoken word artist, Henry Rollins.
"Mace Griffin hails from a long line of movie and videogame tough guys working in the gray area of the law," said Henry Price, Director of Sales for MumboJumbo. "This game moves the concept to a sci-fi storyline full of tense action and mystery-filled intrigue."
Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter
utilizes Warthog Studios' TUSK technology, enabling players to transition
seamlessly between space combat and FPS action. This tale of revenge and
redemption unfolds through 11 massive levels, combining multiple mission
objectives in a diverse array of environments. Throughout the game, players
will be able to pilot a variety of different ships, from quick alien scout
fighters to massive carriers. In first person mode, players will have access
to an equally dangerous collection of weapons with both primary and secondary
attacks.
Developed by U.K.-based Warthog Studios,
Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter, will ship to retailers at a suggested
price of $29.99 and carry an ESRB rating of "M" for Mature. The product is
available for pre-order directly through the MumboJumbo store, located at
http://www.mumbojumbo.com/store.
