Codemasters has strengthened its relationship with 1C Company, the leading Russian game publishing company already working on Wartime Command, by securing the global (Except countries of the former USSR countries) publishing rights to Perimeter.
Perimeter, created by Russian developer K-D LAB and due to launch spring 2004, is an original RTS game with a rich science fiction backdrop. The title has already attracted development acclaim for bringing unique gameplay strategies to the genre that will make players rethink their RTS gaming tactics. Perimeter also delivers stunning visual environments, thanks to a graphics engine that renders over 1 million polygons per second.
Perimeter's back story centres on various civilisations that have abandoned a dying Earth, each in search for a new home world. Gameplay sees players commanding these civilisations as they travel between planets, gathering energy resources to continue this epic explorative journey.
Gameplay is built on territory seizure, where players must terraform diverse landscapes in order to extract vital energy supplies. Energy reserves are required to power the player's structures, units and perimeter force field.
So, for the first time in RTS gaming, the landscape is a tactical participant in combat and base development and not just a static background, as players and indigenous natural forces fight to change the physical structure of the game world.
The energy drawn from a planet's surface enables players to build devices to collect further energy reserves, expand and defend their territory with a wide variety of units and structures, and ultimately have enough energy to activate a portal to transport them to a new world, one step closer to a new Earth, before other civilisations beat them to it.
Presenting an imaginative and fresh setting for RTS gaming with innovative play tactics in both single-player and online/LAN multiplayer games, Perimeter will be published by Codemasters in spring 2004 for PC CD. Sign up for new world colonization online at www.codemasters.co.uk/perimeter.
