Real-time

Eidos
Interactive, (NASDAQ: EIDSY), a leading worldwide
interactive entertainment publisher, today
announced that its real-time strategy game for
the PC, Fate Of The Dragon, has gone gold and
will ship to stores beginning March 12.
Developed by
Overmax Studio, Fate of the Dragon is based on
the 14th century historical Chinese
novel entitled Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Fate of the Dragon is set in the confusion
following the collapse of the Eastern Han
Dynasty. Gamers play the role of one of three
rival warlords attempting to take control of
their respective territories and set up their own
kingdoms, splitting China into three parts.
Players are tasked to build their own regime,
develop new technologies, and create a mighty
army to manage The Three Kingdoms and reunify
China.
"Eidos is
thrilled to have the opportunity to publish Fate
of the Dragon," states Tom Marx, Producer at
Eidos Interactive. "Fate of the Dragon takes
the engrossing elements of strategy games
including combat and resource collection, wraps
them in an engaging story and presents them in
the mystical beauty of ancient China."
Fate of the
Dragon features three kingdoms, each with unique
technologies, buildings and characters
realistically modeled from the actual
technological, cultural and social development of
the era. The players’ objective is to
establish comprehensive power through production,
construction, trade, science and technology,
alliances and war. Gamers will embark on
political, trade and strategic campaigns to win
control of the kingdoms, all of which are based
on historically significant events of the Three
Kingdoms’ period. Fate of the Dragon also
includes head-to-head and cooperative
multi-player support for up to eight players via
LAN or the Internet.
