Award-Winning Team Turns its Attention to Next Generation Consoles!
Climax's Brighton studio embarks on ambitious new project
Los Angeles, CA - Dec 9th, 2003: Climax, one of the worlds most ambitious
and progressive independent developers, today confirmed that work is well
underway on its premiere next generation game.
Developed under the codename Avalon, this impressive new game is to be
produced at the company's celebrated Brighton Studio and will debut on the
eagerly-awaited PlayStation 3 and Xbox 2.
Famed for its work on the hit racers MotoGP and MotoGP 2, the Brighton
studio was the first choice among Climax's many studios for this exciting
project. Its experience with vehicle-based games made it the natural home
for the game, which will see the studio branch out to include land, sea and
air vehicles.
Designed and developed by some of the brightest minds in the Brighton
studio, including members of the award-winning MotoGP team, Avalon will
boast groundbreaking graphics, sensational sound and the gripping gameplay
now expected of all Climax-developed games. Enhancing the superior
technology of the next generation consoles and the power of the Blimey 2
engine, the game is already at a remarkably advanced stage of development
with a fully playable online prototype housed at the Brighton office.
"This is an exciting, bold stride forward for Climax" enthused Climax's Head
Of Brighton Studio Tony Beckwith. "The fact that we're one of the first
independent companies to start work on a next generation project reaffirms
our commitment to remaining among the development elite."
Tony continued: "Thanks to the Blimey 2 engine, we're way ahead of the curve
in the next generation arena. There has been significant interest from
publishers already and we are going to take our time to select the right
publishing partner for this incredibly exciting game."
