Global Agenda

Haarlem, The Netherlands – 22 April 2010 – A boxed version of Global Agenda, the award-winning Shooter/MMO from Atlanta-based Hi-Rez Studios, is coming to retail outlets in Europe later this year, courtesy of premier videogame publisher Iceberg Interactive.

After a highly successful digital-only release on Steam in February 2010, Iceberg and Hi-Rez have decided to make the game available in stores throughout Europe.

The English-language European Retail release is planned for early September 2010, with a German release following shortly thereafter. The release will include Global Agenda's upcoming Sandstorm expansion pack, as well as other previously unreleased content, introducing a wide array of new devices, weapons and content into the game, including Open PvE zones and a large-scale PvP Warzone featuring 64-player battles.

"We've been incredibly pleased with the amount of European interest in Global Agenda despite our digital-download-only distribution ," says Todd Harris, Global Agenda's Executive Producer. "Adding a boxed version available in retail stores, as well as expanding our available languages, is a key step to continuing our growth in Europe and worldwide, especially as we continue to increase the game's marketing and visibility, and add more and more content to the game. Iceberg Interactive was the perfect partner to help us make this leap."

“We‘re hugely excited to be publishing such a high profile title in Europe”, says Erik Schreuder, CEO of Iceberg Interactive. “Global Agenda has created a huge buzz as a digital download product and we are looking forward to repeating that success at retail. We’ve played it, we love it and we just know gamers will too. We’re also very impressed with Hi-Rez’s desire to keep adding extra content to the game, as this is this what gamers deserve, communities really appreciate and that we definitely want to be associated with.”

Global Agenda operates London-based servers today to support its European customers. The game's unique single-shard server design allows all customers worldwide to compete inside the same game universe, with the ability to play with or against anyone, while at the same time having the freedom to choose a Region/Data Center (North America, Europe or Pacific Rim) from which to load mission instances. Players interested in buying the game through digital distribution may still do so through Steam.
