Majesco's Popular 'BloodRayne' Series Makes Handheld Debut On Sony PSP™ Handheld Entertainment System
Deliciously Wicked Dhampir Returns for New Installment
EDISON, N.J., March 31st, 2005 - Gamers will finally get their hands on gaming's hottest leading lady, as Majesco (NASDAQ: MJES), an innovative provider of diversified products and content for digital entertainment platforms , today announced that its popular BloodRayne action/horror series is in development for the PSP TM handheld entertainment system. BloodRayne PSP is being developed by Full Fat and will make its handheld debut this fall.
"BloodRayne has built a loyal following of fans and established herself as one of interactive entertainment's most popular action heroines," said Ken Gold, Vice President of Marketing for Majesco. "We're thrilled to see our franchise expand into the handheld arena and believe its fast-paced acrobatic combat will make BloodRayne PSP a must-have game for PSP owners."
Born from the unnatural union of vampire and human, BloodRayne is blessed with the powers of a vampire but cursed with the unquenchable thirst for blood and a weakness to sunlight. BloodRayne PSP will explore BloodRayne's own purpose and history, explaining and resurrecting 'dead' characters from previous games while developing new characters specifically for the PSP.
Additionally, BloodRayne PSP features two-player, co-op wireless multiplayer with a playable second character. Players engage in extremely brutal combat with a unique "kill system" based on racking up high scores by linking chains and combos, and gaining valuable bonus multipliers. The "kill system" also allows players to develop their character by unlocking devastating new moves.
BloodRayne PSP will be unveiled during the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) being held May 18-20 in the Los Angeles Convention Center, booth 846 in the South Hall, in Los Angeles, CA.
