Namco Bandai Partners S.A.S Announces Distribution Agreement with City Interactive
- Highly Anticipated Sequel ‘Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2’ and ‘Combat Wings’ to be Distributed by NAMCO BANDAI Partners in UK, Italy, Spain and Greece -
LYON, FRANCE – 29 February 2012 – Leading European video game distribution and marketing companies NAMCO BANDAI Partners S.A.S. and City Interactive today announced that they signed an agreement to distribute eagerly awaited first-person shooter sequel Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 and air combat title Combat Wings in the UK, Italy, Spain and Greece.
Coming to the hands of expectant fans in Q2 2012, the sequel to the multi-million selling smash Sniper: Ghost Warrior, Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 takes the bull's-eye precision of its predecessor to new and exciting heights. Powered by CryENGINE 3 technology, the stunning graphics and increasingly challenging missions of Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 will take players through a variety of worldwide locations, covering urban, jungle and mountain terrain. Players will once again step into the ghillie suit of a special-ops sniper and take down their enemies one kill at a time.
Scheduled for release in March 2012, Combat Wings is an explosive arcade-style aerial shooter for PlayStation®3, Xbox 360®, Wii™ and PC that takes players into the heart of the greatest aerial battles of World War II. With a wide range of authentic aircraft to pilot and highly advanced flight dynamics combined with unprecedented arcade accessibility, Combat Wings delivers unrivalled dogfight fun in single-player or two-player split screen.
“We’re very pleased to be working with NAMCO BANDAI Partners to distribute these two games in the UK, Italy, Spain and Greece. Following the massive success of the first game in the series, Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 is a key title for us, and their expertise and proven distribution network will be key in helping us realise its massive potential," said Marek Tyminski, CEO at City Interactive.
“We’re looking forward to working with City Interactive to successfully bring these two accomplished games to market in four major European territories. We’re very excited about the enormous opportunity for Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 across these markets and we will be working hard to maximise it,” said Alberto Gonzalez Lorca, VP Third Parties at NAMCO BANDAI Partners.
Combat Wings for PlayStation®3, Xbox 360®, Wii™ and PC is scheduled for release in March 2012, with Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 heading to European retailers in Q2 2012 for PlayStation®3, Xbox 360® and PC. NAMCO BANDAI Partners will distribute both titles in the UK, Italy, Spain and Greece.
