CDV and Enlight to Co-Publish Three Strategy Titles in 2006

[For immediate release]

January 23, 2006 -- Cary, North Carolina - CDV Software Entertainment has signed a co-publishing agreement with Enlight Software to release three PC strategy titles in North America this year.

• Glory of the Roman Empire (Working Title) is an empire-building simulation set during the height of the glorious Roman Empire in which the player assumes the roles of city planner, governor and military leader. Successful players will need planning skills, economic savvy and -- should those fail -- military might. Glory of the Roman Empire will challenge gamers to grow a small village into a thriving community and trade with neighbors, while also expanding and defending its borders through military might. Glory of the Roman Empire is planned to ship to retail stores in summer 2006.

• Hotel Empire 2 sets gamers in the role of budding hotel managers as they pick locations, hire and assign staff, strike deals and make the strategic and day-to-day decisions needed to build and operate a world-renowned hotel property. Exotic locales and beautiful graphics offer a pleasant backdrop for the business simulation where room furnishing, pricing choices, vendor agreements and partnerships, management competence and staff allocation are just some of the many factors that will make or break would-be hoteliers. Hotel Empire 2 is scheduled to ship in Q4 2006.

• Seven Kingdoms: Conquest is the third installment in the award-winning Seven Kingdoms series of fast-paced RTS titles for the PC. From Bronze Age spearmen to modern Marines and futuristic 'Mechs, players will have access to an awe-inspiring variety of richly detailed units as the player traverses 6,000 years of history in an attempt to stop an evil conspiracy. Seven Kingdoms: Conquest is planned for a Q4 2006 release.
