BASINGSTOKE, England (September 29th 2005), - DreamCatcher Games, a global publisher of interactive entertainment, today announced that the company's highly anticipated stealth action game "Cold War" has gone gold for Xbox. 'Cold War' is scheduled for release on the PC and Xbox video game and entertainment system in October 2005.
"With its 1980's Soviet backdrop and intriguing stealth premise that puts gamers in the middle of an international conspiracy," commented Product Manager, Byron Gaum. "We expect Cold War to be well received by hungry stealth and action gamers everywhere."
Cold War follows the story of Matt Carter, a freelance American journalist, who finds himself in the midst of an international conspiracy that aims to take control of the U.S.S.R. Twelve hours after arriving in Moscow for a routine story, Carter is stripped of all his possessions, beaten unconscious and thrown into the KGB's political prison. Using only recovered weapons and improvised gadgets, he must now evade and overcome elite Soviet forces and defeat the conspiracy before he is sent to a Siberian prison camp or killed.
