Funcom announces "Anarchy Online - Alien Invasion"
Oslo, Norway—February 12, 2004 – Following the critically acclaimed and award-winning Anarchy Online -Shadowlands, Funcom today announces Anarchy Online - Alien Invasion. Set for release this summer, the next chapter in the Anarchy Online saga further strengthens the sci-fi aspects of Anarchy Online, making the game even more unique compared to current and forthcoming offerings within the Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) genre.
In "Anarchy Online – Alien Invasion" Funcom once again offers a game full of innovative features and fun gameplay elements. Not only will the social aspects be greatly improved, with players being able to construct their own towns, set up unique shops and build impressive organization headquarters, they also get their action quota filled when they come face to face with aliens wielding superior technology.
The new alien menace threatens all of the citizens of Rubi-Ka as the planet is suddenly invaded. A massive call to arms is sounded across the planet as the players rally to defend their own cities against the alien hordes. The players can also fight their way into the heart of invading spaceships, gaining riches, fame and power.
"With Anarchy Online - Alien Invasion we continue our focus on fun and fast-paced gameplay within a sci-fi setting", says Game Director Marius Enge, and continues: "While Anarchy Online is already considered to be one of the best MMORPG’s on the market, we believe that the exciting new features in Alien Invasion will take it to a whole new level"
