- Atari’s Eagerly Awaited Monster Romp Now Coming

– Atari today announced the further growth of one
of its long-running publishing franchises with the news
that Godzilla®: Unleashed, the ultimate giant monster
fighting game, is in development for the PlayStation®2
computer entertainment system in addition to Wii and Nintendo
DS™. Developed by Pipeworks, Godzilla: Unleashed
is scheduled for a simultaneous autumn 2007 release on
all three platforms.
Godzilla: Unleashed is a fighting game on a giant scale,
starring the legendary Godzilla and a host of more than
20 of the most renowned monsters of all-time. Players
are challenged to save the planet from mayhem and destruction,
but not before causing some of their own. Set in nine
urban arenas, Godzilla: Unleashed’s interactive
3D cityscapes, big destructible buildings, soaring skyscrapers
and towering alien formations provide the backdrop to
epic battles and comprehensive destruction.
“Bringing Godzilla: Unleashed to the vast PlayStation
2 audience as well as the massive and growing Wii and
DS fanbase is another feather in the cap of Atari’s
growing publishing line up,” said Mathias Hautefort,
Executive Vice President of publishing and production,
Atari. “The Godzilla license is a global phenomenon
and Atari has a successful history of putting the player
in control of everyone’s favourite monster. This
most recent collaboration with independent studio Pipeworks
will result in yet another must-have monster romp.”
The character line-up on the PlayStation 2 features new
monsters not found on the Wii and DS versions of the game.
Players will fight more than 20 monsters, with the newcomers
taking their place amongst the familiar faces from past
Godzilla video games. Godzilla: Unleashed features an
innovative non-linear storyline which lets players influence
how the story unfolds through their choices in battle,
and a flexible multiplayer mode which supports up to four
players for the ultimate city-crushing monster mash.
