Sennheiser Communications Supports International Codename: Panzers – Cold War Promotion
Cooperation with 10TACLE STUDIOS includes comprehensive marketing cooperation
Darmstadt, January 10. 2008 – Together with developer Stormregion, 10TACLE STUDIOS AG will be taking the successful real-time strategy series “Codename: Panzers” to the next stage in March of this year. In addition to distributor Electronic Arts, headset specialist Sennheiser Communications joins the team behind the successful marketing start. The international cooperation includes a comprehensive marketing campaign. This includes both support in the form of hardware and contest prizes for LAN parties and trade fairs and reciprocal marketing support in advertisements, manuals, posters and product information.
10TACLE STUDIOS AG Senior Product Manager Stephan Pietsch describes the advantages offered by the cooperation: “In Sennheiser Communications we have found a great marketing partner for our new hit strategy game – a partner whose high-quality products further accentuate the outstanding quality of “Codename: Panzers – Cold War”, particularly where on-site presentations are concerned.”
Sennheiser Communications, Head of Sales & Marketing Communications, Guido Karbautzki adds: „The truly impressive presentation of the highly-detailed world and the overpowering sound backdrop in “Codename: Panzers – Cold War” convinced us that our cooperation is based on a giant in the genre which will further underline our strong and long lasting involvement in the gaming community.“
“Codename: Panzers – Cold War” is the continuation of the well-known real-time strategy series. The newest episode in the series uses cutting-edge technology and a wide range of innovative gaming elements as it takes players into a fictitious conflict which could have changed the fate of the “Free World” forever – a conflict which demands the utmost of the best strategists around!
STORY
Berlin, April 1949 – Although the Second World War found its bloody end just a few short years ago the spectre of a deadly new conflict between the East and West block countries looms on the horizon. The Soviet Block is in revolt against the Western Allies’ claims to power in Europe and relies thereby primarily upon their newfound military strength. One small spark is all it would take to launch the terrible war machines of two of the most powerful armies in the world!
On the morning of April 8th a tragic accident with far-reaching consequences occurs in the skies over Berlin, and before the sun sets the ground beneath the German capital once again shakes to the pounding roar of tank guns!
