Zeno Clash

Haarlem, The Netherlands – 22 September 2009 – Premier videogame publisher Iceberg Interactive is proud to announce that the retail version of the critically acclaimed PC action/fighting game Zeno Clash, has gone gold. The retail version will ship with the Zeno Clash comic plus all available updates for the game and will be released in the UK, Scandinavia and the Benelux in October 2009 with other European territories to follow soon after.

Nominated for 'Excellence in Visual Art' at the Independent Games Festival, the spectacular graphics and visual style breathes new life into the fantasy game genre. The gameplay has a strong focus on melee fighting blended with ranged combat using unconventional weapons. The innovative close combat mechanics are also a deviation from traditional action in the first-person genre that will feel fresh for new and veteran players alike.

Zeno Clash is set in the punk fantasy world of Zenozoik, a land of exotic places and bizarre creatures. Players take on the role of Ghat, a man banished by his own brothers and forced to begin a desperate journey for survival through the forbidden desert and to the end of the world.

Andres Bordeu, cofounder of ACE Team says: “At ACE Team we’re very happy that the game will soon be reaching a broader audience through retail distribution. The boxed version will be a great addition to anyone’s library of PC games and a great treat for any Zeno Clash enthusiast.”

Erik Schreuder, CEO of Iceberg Interactive added: “ Zeno Clash has received worldwide acclaim from the press and rightfully so. Labelled as an experience rather than just a game, gamers should be prepared for a combination of some weird looking creatures, stunning alien environments and unique first person fisticuffs. With the English retail version having gone gold, we’re really looking forward to the upcoming boxed release of the game throughout Europe.”
