Red Storm Teams Up with Another Best Selling Author
Red Storm Entertainment, Inc. today announced its next project under development, Freedom: First Resistance.
MORRISVILLE, N.C., March 21, 2000 – Red Storm Entertainment, Inc. today announced its next project under development, Freedom: First Resistance, a third-person single player action-adventure game inspired by Anne McCaffrey’s best-selling Freedom novels. Freedom: First Resistance is scheduled for release during the 4th quarter of this year.
“Our agreement with Anne reflects Red Storm’s strategy to create innovative, enjoyable products that appeal to the widest possible range of consumers,” Red Storm President & CEO Doug Littlejohns said. “Anne has an enormous following world-wide and we trust that they will be as excited as we are that her brilliant storytelling will be brought to the computer screen.”
In Freedom: First Resistance, a race of aliens called Catteni, have invaded Earth, successfully colonizing the planet in a matter of days. All organized defenses have been smashed, every human government and standing military has been destroyed, and major cities are smoldering ruins. The worldwide economy has collapsed and the vast majority of the survivors dwell in refugee camps – not counting the millions who have simply vanished. Earth is ruled by the Provisional Authority, humans who administrate the planet on behalf of their alien masters. The only resistance, a ragged network of freedom fighters, guerillas and other rag-tag resisters, stands against the Provisional Authority and the alien powers behind it.
The Resistance has neither numbers nor resources on its side, but it does have the unshakeable determination of Angel Sanchez, a young freedom fighter. With everything she knows and loves destroyed in the invasion, Angel harnesses her anger and gathers a team of like-minded rebels to rid Earth of its alien overlords.
Through a combination of stealth, combat, puzzle-solving and dialogue, the player guides Angel and members of her team through a series of missions until ultimately, they face and over come the ultimate alien evil in its lair – or die trying. Along the way, the characters interact with both allied and hostile non-player characters, explore the world and uncover the secrets behind the Catteni domination of Earth.
Freedom: First Resistance will be shown at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles, May 2000.
