This day will give fans of Warhammer 40,000 the opportunity to play an early production version of the Warhammer 40,000 experience on the N-Gage platform. Fans will discover how the game has been authentically transferred to the N-Gage platform, enabling gamers to play war-games in single player, two player Hotseat with one N-Gage game deck, or two player head-to-head via Bluetooth connection and N-Gage Arena, Nokia's global mobile online gaming community.
Timo Toivanen, Games Product Marketing Manager, Games Business Program, Nokia said "The development team behind the production of Warhammer 40,000: Glory in Death are true fans of the intellectual property, and I believe fans of Warhammer 40,000 will have a first hand opportunity to see the care, respect and attention taken on adapting their beloved Universe." Toivanen continues, "The micro-site for the Warhammer 40,000: Glory in Death game for the N-Gage platform is the global shop-window to millions of Warhammer 40,000 fans. Launched today, the site contains a teaser trailer, an exclusive scriptwriter interview and a plethora of information never seen before on the game."
