Warhammer 40,000 goes mobile for the first time on the N-Gage platform with Warhammer 40,000: Glory in Death
Espoo, Finland, August 18, 2005 Nokia, Games Workshop and THQ Wireless today announced the debut of the highly successful Warhammer 40,000 franchise to the N-Gage platform with Warhammer 40,000: Glory in Death. The highly acclaimed classic table-top strategy game from Games Workshop has been produced and developed for the N-Gage platform for Warhammer 40,000 fans to unite and embark on multiplayer war game via Bluetooth connection and the N-Gage Arena, Nokia's global mobile online gaming community.
Gregg Sauter, Director, Games Publishing, Nokia said "Warhammer 40,000 is a well-loved brand by sci-fi action strategy aficionados internationally, with over 100 million miniature characters being sold annually through Games Workshop." Sauter continued, "Developed by Razorback, our version has maintained the original's well designed systems and game play and provides fans with an authentic Warhammer 40,000 experience. Mix in a highly immersive experience where gamers can play anywhere, anytime and the ability for Warhammer 40,000: Glory in Death fans to play against other fans via the N-Gage Arena, and we think gamers are going to be thrilled."
Set in the far future, Warhammer 40,000: Glory in Death on the N-Gage platform contains the entire Warhammer 40,000 experience where players control one of four races: the Orcs, Space Marines, Eldar and Chaos Marines each with their own history and game style to master and control across four campaigns in one interlocking story. Warhammer 40,000: Glory in Death re-creates the immersive experience for new or veteran players in single player campaign mode or two player Hotseat with one N-Gage game deck, or two players via Bluetooth connection or N-Gage Arena.
Packed full of great visual content, Warhammer 40,000: Glory in Death uses a distinct visual style to bring the Warhammer 40,000 universe to life on the N-Gage platform. This is further assisted by original in-game character artwork being designed by Mike McMahon, one of 2000AD's most popular comic artists, most known for WatchTower and Fat City.
First look of the game is offered to selected media at GenCon in Indianapolis, USA and Leipzig Games Convention in Germany. Warhammer 40,000 on the N-Gage game deck is expected to take over N-Gage gamers' world in winter 2006.
