Juggernaut

Hamburg, 03.09.2010 – With Juggernaut Mail.ru Games GmbH will shortly publish the first browser based action RPG to use the Unity3D-Engine. The unique technological possibilities of this platform independent engine will significantly set this title apart from the competition and enable state-of-the-art 3D-graphics even on a browser. The game runs in a browser window without requiring a client or an installation. Nevertheless an optional client can be downloaded. Juggernaut will initially be launched for the English, German and Polish speaking communities – further versions are being prepared.

Juggernaut is a free-of-charge, browser based action RPG with unique graphics, engaging 3D-battles and a complex fighting system. The exciting background-story is leading the player directly into a conflict between three hostile factions that have been facing each other in battle for centuries, grappling for land and power. The mightiest warriors of each side are awarded the privilege to wear one of the legendary Juggernaut-Armors which are extremely rare. They enable their owner to fuse in a singular symbiosis with their armor and transform into one of the most powerful heroes of their time. The focus of the game clearly lies on fast-paced action and furious fighting. Immediately after starting the game the players can prove their fighting skills in duels amongst each other in the arena, while it was made sure that no one is forced to enter a PvP. With hunting monsters and several elaborate quests there are many alternatives for the players to advance their character and develop his abilities.

“We are proud to be able to publish the very first browser based action RPG with Juggernaut, based on the Unity3D-Engine.” says Alexander Goldybin, CEO Europe of Mail.ru Games GmbH. „Especially the sumptuous optics and the engaging fighting sequences will define new standards for browser games to come.” added Goldybin.

In comparison to many other games Juggernaut will be released for all languages on one server for all languages. This will enable players to interact with one another internationally. Of course the display of other language versions may be disabled by the players if they chose to.
