Ubi Soft and Revolution Software are delighted to announce that the PC version of Revolution Software's new action-adventure game is to be
published world-wide by Ubi Soft Entertainment, with the exception of Japan and the United States. The game's scheduled release is September 2000.
This agreement allows Ubi Soft® to enrich its range of games for the 15-30 age group already including Shadow Company(tm) and Arcatera(tm). The Ubi Soft® catalogue is expanding to meet the needs of all gamers with the highest quality software. "Through this partnership with Revolution Software, Ubi Soft® allies itself with one of the biggest names in adventure game development", says Yves Guillemot, CEO of Ubi Soft® Entertainment.

In Cold Blood employs compelling gameplay, visuals, and innovative
storytelling to create a stunning interactive game with the tension and excitement of the very best blockbuster movie. You play the part of John Cord, a British secret service agent. The game starts with John Cord as he regains consciousness. He is being severely interrogated and as his mind spins, all he can remember is that he was betrayed. As he remembers the past, his memories slowly return.
Surrounded by exceptional graphics and scenes worthy of the best action
films, the player must solve the riddles which will allow the hero to
determine who betrayed him and why. Like any self-respecting spy, John Cord uses plenty of high-tech gadgetry: electromagnetic mines, computer piracy equipment, not to mention a wristwatch which furnishes him with information
vital to his mission. A thinking game above all, In Cold Blood promises
thrilling sensations for those who dare the adventure!
