Award-Wining Developer Makes its Worldwide Multiplatform Debut with an Explosive Spy-Fi Adventure<\/p>\n
SYDNEY, Australia. \u2013 June 7, 2011 \u2013 A shadowy organization has threatened to take over the world and there\u2019s only one team that can stop it: Overstrike 9. Today, during the Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) press conference at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), EA and independent developer Insomniac Games (creator of the Ratchet & Clank\u2122 and Resistance\u2122 franchises) announced the first details of the highly-anticipated game, Overstrike.<\/p>\n
Combining Insomniac\u2019s knack for imaginative weaponry with immersive and witty storytelling, Overstrike is a four-player cooperative action game featuring a team of elite agents called Overstrike 9. Comprised of an ex-mercenary, a lifelong thief, a gifted young scientist and a decorated detective, the members of Overstrike 9 are considered outcasts within their own organization, but are the best team suited to stop a global terrorist group from attempting to wipe out humankind. Overstrike 9 uses lethal teamwork and an arsenal of fringe-tech gadgets to infiltrate and destroy enemy strongholds. Overstrike marks Insomniac\u2019s first multiplatform release and will be available on the Xbox 360\u00ae videogame and entertainment system and PlayStation\u00ae3 computer entertainment system.<\/p>\n
\u201cOverstrike presents a unique blend of features that have long been a part of the Insomniac DNA: high powered gadgets, action-heavy gameplay, memorable characters in a deep and mysterious universe and of course a touch of humor,\u201d said Ted Price, founder and CEO of Insomniac Games. \u201cAnd since this is our first multiplatform game, we\u2019re especially excited to introduce ourselves to a new audience \u2013 one which may not have experienced our previous games.\u201d<\/p>\n
Overstrike will launch on the Xbox 360\u00ae videogame and entertainment system and PlayStation\u00ae3 computer entertainment system.
