Miner Wars 2081

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

London, United Kingdom, 2 November 2010 - Miner Wars 2081: Why the name change?

Keen Software House has a special announcement today regarding an addition to its game's title: Miner Wars 2081:

"Here at Keen Software House, we felt the need to present our game more clearly as a science fiction title. We also have sequels planned so it's important for us to give this installment its own unique identity." -Marek Rosa

Below is a snippet released from Keen's script writer Artimus Bena, depicting the delicious atmosphere they're going for with this new title change: "Nearly a decade after the Solar Event, our problems have only mounted. Many of us in space have reached their breaking point. Limited food, scarce supplies, bitter feuds; a third of us have been diagnosed with some level of radiation poisoning due to prolonged subjection to solar flares. This is our legacy. The year 2081... may be our last."
