Rogue Trooper Goes Mobile With Player One
For immediate release:
London, 19 June 2006 - Player One Limited,
leading global publisher of games and content for mobile
phones, is delighted to announce the release of its latest
mobile game - Rogue Trooper in partnership with Rockpool
Games and Rebellion. Following the successful release of the
game earlier this month on console and PC platforms, the
mobile version is set to keep gamers happy with stunning
graphics and superb playability. Rogue Trooper is one of the
most highly regarded British comic book characters and first
appeared in the 2000AD comic in 1981. The character has gone
from strength to strength with the release of the games
across all platforms this year. The Rogue Trooper game
follows the story of a genetically engineered squad of
genetic infantry (GI), designed to fight in the poisoned
battlefields of the future having been betrayed by their
superiors. Only one soldier survives, carrying the minds and
expertise of his murdered squad mates electronically embedded
in his rifle, helmet and backpack. Together they are a
one-man army, with the simple mission of revenge. The mobile
game is a top down shooter and like the console version,
Rogue Trooper's allies include Gunner, Helm and Bagman. With
seven extensive levels there are plenty of problem solving
tasks and puzzles to conquer. Players will have to find
tripwires, minefields, teleports and unlock computer
terminals in order to open doors and bridges using an array
of available weapons bringing them a step closer to the final
showdown with the evasive traitor general. Rogue Trooper will
be available to download from all major UK mobile operators
or by simply texting Rogue Trooper to 87070* from the end of
June. Pete Russell, Managing Director, Player One commented:
"Rogue Trooper has been around since 1981 and is one of the
premier Sci-Fi comic characters. We are thrilled to announce
the release of the game following the success of Rogue
Trooper across other gaming platforms in recent weeks. This
