Wild Earth Being Published Worldwide by Digital
Jesters
Seattle,
WA - 2005.06.27 -- Super X Studios® is partnering
with UK-based Digital Jesters to bring their long-anticipated
game, Wild Earth®, to market worldwide
on PC CD-ROM this holiday season.
Developed by Seattle based Super X Studios, Wild Earth
is a graphically spectacular safari adventure set in
the heart of Africa, offering gamers a breathtaking
journey through the Serengeti National Park. The concept,
which centers on exploration of the spectacular African
terrain and photography of an immense array of beautifully
and accurately rendered indigenous flora and fauna,
has also been developed by Super X Studios as a motion
simulator thrill ride recently installed in several
locations worldwide, including the Philadelphia and
San Diego zoos.
"Wild Earth is a unique concept which we're confident
will appeal to a broad range of people, including non-traditional
gaming audiences like female gamers, young children
and families. The non-violent gameplay, topical subject
matter and breathtaking visuals give the game immense
mass market potential and we're delighted to be working
with Digital Jesters to bring Wild Earth to as wide
an audience as possible," James Thrush, owner of
Super X Studios commented.
Having already secured a number of innovation awards
at the Independent Games Festival, Wild Earth has caught
the attention of numerous commercial brands, and Digital
Jesters is currently in discussion with several key
sponsorship partners, all of whom are extremely keen
to share some involvement in the game.
"We're extremely pleased to have signed such a
unique and widely appealing title. With the constant
criticism over violence in video games, it's fantastic
to be able to offer a product that gives gamers something
completely different. Wild Earth has afforded us some
incredible opportunities with a number of large, globally
recognised brands and we're very excited about the partnership
possibilities available," Terry Malham, Digital
Jesters co-founder and commercial director added.
