THQ Announces New Legends For Xbox
Groundbreaking action-adventure game to kick off THQ’s product line for Xbox this Fall.
THQ today announced the company is preparing its combat-driven, action-adventure game New Legends to be among the first wave of titles for the Xbox video game system from Microsoft. New Legends reaffirms THQ’s commitment to publishing original and innovative software content for future-generation video game systems. The game will be available at retail alongside Xbox in fall 2001.
Currently in development by Infinite Machine, Inc. in Berkeley, CA, New Legends will transport Xbox owners to a futuristic China gripped in war. Technology and mysticism have blended to create a rich and dangerous world divided into the feudal lands of the ancient past as humans, demons, and gods roam the territories. As Sun Soo, the game’s lead character, players will battle to free their homeland using a variety of weapons and fighting skills. New Legends is the brainchild of Infinite Machine president and acclaimed game designer Justin Chin, creator of the critically praised and best selling* PC title Jedi Knight.
“It is THQ’s initiative to partner with the top development talent in the industry to build new and original game franchises,” said Alison Locke, executive vice president, North American Publishing, THQ. “We believe New Legends will have a significant impact on Xbox and further demonstrates THQ’s commitment to being a leader in technology and game development.”
“Working with THQ has allowed us to focus the development cycle of New Legends first and foremost on quality,” said Justin Chin, president of Infinite Machine. “New Legends is an innovative and groundbreaking title that truly pushes the boundaries of interactive action and we expect the game to fully showcase the power of Xbox.”
In New Legends, the action is intense and the adventure is high as the game focuses on cinematic combat coupled with an engaging storyline. Players will approach battle with the style and skill of a master martial artist, with the ability to wield two weapons at once while performing dramatic attacks and a selection of specialized moves. Blades and bullets will clash, as players are able to choose from a variety of defensive, ranged, and melee weapons.
THQ has also announced WWF Raw is War for Xbox. Additional products are also in development. For more information on THQ’s 2001 line up, visit www.thq.com.
