Third Wave Games Releases War World V1.06

For Immediate Release:

September 9th. Third Wave Games, creators of War World - Tactical Combat is delighted to announce the launch of a major new update for the game. The latest release features many of the most requested features from players on the game's official website: www.warworld.net.

Some of the most requested changes which are included in version 1.06 are:

• A completely new multiplayer game - Team Death Match. Players can join the ranks of the BCT or V-Tek team and go cause some carnage.

• Customizable player skins. Gamers can now pimp their mech to create an unstoppable war machine, which is also stylish and funky.

• New improved AI within the single-player game. Opposing players are now much more 'human' and varied in the way they compete.

• New customizable hosting options for multiplayer games. Almost every aspect of the game can be tweaked to allow the creation of the ultimate online experience.

• Support for lower-end PC's. Improved graphics handling and major speed increases on larger maps will make War World far more accessible to players with older PC's.

• Improved multi-player front-end, showing players all of the details of current games, so they can pick exactly how and what they want to play.

If that wasn't enough, downloading version 1.06 of the demo version of the game gives you 30 minutes of free game time - even if you have played the previous demo already!

Players who have already purchased earlier versions of War World will get these new features completely FREE, along with all other updates from the company in the future. Third Wave Games is committed to continuing the development of War World and working closely with the community of players to incorporate all of the most wanted features to ensure the game becomes one of the most playable, popular and regularly updated games in the world.

Players who wish to play the full game can do so directly from www.warworld.net for only $24.95. This not only gives them access to all levels, weapons, player characters and multiplayer capabilities, but also entitles them to FREE upgrades to all subsequent versions of the game.

The demo is available directly from www.warworld.net and will be distributed to all of the major online games and download sites over the coming weeks, as well as through the cover disks of the leading PC and games magazines worldwide.

The initial release of War World - Tactical Combat at the beginning of August 2005 was greeted with great enthusiasm from gamers worldwide. Visitors to the War World forums have left comments such as: "It's pure adrenaline pumping action like I haven't experienced in ages!"

The release of a major upgrade only a month after the initial launch of the game, is a testament to Third Wave Games' vision for War World:

"We're really excited about the release of the first major update to the game, says Morten Brodersen, the managing direction of Third Wave Games and lead programmer on War World. "The response to the launch of the game was fantastic from players, the media and even other games companies. The release of version 1.06 brings a lot of major changes to the game and makes both the single and multiplayer experience much more exciting. We're looking forward to seeing how the new features change the game experience for players and thanks to a lot of optimization and tweaking, we should be able to welcome a much wider rang of players to the game, with lower-end and older PC's. The team are already looking at future updates and we are determined to make War World the ultimate action game."

About Third Wave Games

Third Wave Games was founded in early 2005 by two veterans of the videogames industry in Victoria, Australia.

Third Wave operates differently from the majority of PC and console developers in the world today. Third Wave typically utilises a business model where the company self-funds a game during pre-production until a playable, high quality demo is ready to be shown to publishers. Once a title is signed, Third Wave Games additionally work with an extended group of trusted outsourced people who are contracted depending on the task at hand.

This business model gives publishers a number of benefits: A high-quality, playable demo is available to evaluate at no cost before making a decision on a title and a publisher will be able to determine the budget for the game, from low budget (just employing the core team to finish the game) to AAA budget (as many people as needed to get the content and gameplay finished in the time desired). This enables the publisher to scale a project depending on the publisher's perception of the title from a risk/reward point of view, and where the title fits in the publisher's line-up.

Other services provided by Third Wave Games are Games Development Consulting services such as developer and technology evaluation services and fast early-stage (pre-production) prototyping of new concept ideas.
