3DO Announces World Destruction League*: Thunder Tanks for the PlayStation Game Console
Chaos ensues when Tank Gladiators mash it up in the most destructive tournament ever.
LOS ANGELES, CA (May 10, 2000) - The 3DO Company today announced the World Destruction League: Thunder Tanks game for the PlayStation game console at
this year's E3 tradeshow. The World Destruction League: Thunder Tanks game brings home the extreme action of the hardcore bouts of tank combat that take place when infamous gladiators are equipped with high-caliber weaponry and sent out to conduct a campaign of terror that's different every single time the game is played.
Set in the post-apocalyptic world of the near future, World Destruction
League coverage focuses upon the vicious competitions waged between participants in the most fiercely brutal televised sport ever witnessed by mankind. Assuming the role of a rising star, players take control of one of 9 monstrous tanks, each of which boasts tremendous special abilities, unique advantages, and its own method of handling, as they fight and die for the
honor of holding the championship title. While combatants struggle for
control of the tournament, two over-the-top announcers call out all the
cheap shots and don't pull any punches.
Players will compete on a global circuit that covers six international
post-apocalyptic environments including Italy, Moscow, Tokyo, Canada and the top secret NORAD
Facility. As the battle rages through the mud, sand and snow, they'll stop
and destroy recognizable landmarks such as the Tower of Pisa, St. Basil's Cathedral and Tokyo's Ginza District. Provided aspiring champions aren't too busy fending off nine win-at-all-costs competitors, they can even
redecorate their famous surroundings using devastating new weapons like artillery strikes, shock rings, death blossoms, and the nano wall.
With over thirty different battlefields to choose from and dedicated support for two-player head to head split-screen trials, World Destruction League is the most high-stakes game of tank warfare ever to storm onto the PlayStation
game console. Totally accessible thanks to a default pick up and play
system, players of all ages and skill levels can enjoy ten deadly modes of play which include Gauntlet, King of the Hill, Convoy, Renegade and Frenzy amongst others.
"Gamers love tanks, and we've had great success with tank games. Our
customers have been teaching us what they want, and we're going to give it to them," said Trip Hawkins, chairman and CEO of The 3DO Company. "World Destruction League will have more and better tank gameplay but will also go over the top and let you make fun of the situation and laugh it up."
