FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Interplay Announces Giants: Citizen Kabuto Ships to Retailers (Digital Mayhem and Planet Moon Studios unleash their most eagerly awaited action/adventure title upon the gaming public!)
IRVINE, California, December 07, 2000 - Digital Mayhem, a division of Interplay Entertainment Corp. (NASDAQ: IPLY), and Planet Moon Studios announced today that their long awaited Action/Adventure game, Giants: Citizen Kabuto* is now shipping to retail. Giants: Citizen Kabuto is a frenzied action game available for Windows95/98/00/ME based computers in which players battle each other with one of three distinct races: The Meccs, the Sea Reapers, or the giant named Kabuto. These three species are highly incompatible with one another, and are all battling for supremacy over the islands on which they inhabit.
Giants features over twenty-five beautifully rendered 3-D islands - rich in detail and vibrant colors. They serve as the locale in which players assemble bases, collect weaponry and harness powerful spells. Such actions are key in order for players to fight and survive. Giants’ biggest feature is the ability to play as the savage, Kabuto, who literally towers over the competition in terms of size and power. With Kabuto, players can execute wrestling moves on opponents 1/4th his size, crush things with his feet, impale people upon his horns and hurl debris through the air. He does however have a weakness!
In addition to a long story-driven single-player campaign, Giants: Citizen Kabuto offers an intense multi-player gaming experience. Players can choose to fight against each other or in teams using their favorite species, and up to 10 players can battle over LAN or the Internet via TCP/IP.
Giants: Citizen Kabuto will join the best selling PC titles currently shipping from Interplay Entertainment, titles such as Baldur’s Gate II: Shadows of Amn, Sacrifice, and Icewind Dale. This game has a Mature ESRB rating. For more information regarding Giants: Citizen Kabuto, please visit the official website at <http://www.interplay.com/giants/index.html>.
