THQ TO LAUNCH CYBERFLIX'S 'RED JACK: REVENGE OF THE BRETHREN' FOR PC, MAC
CALABASAS, Calif., January 5, 1998 - THQ Inc. (NASDAQ NMS:
THQI) today announced that it has signed an agreement with CyberFlix Inc., an original content developer, to publish and distribute "Red Jack: Revenge of the Brethren" for the PC and Macintosh platforms. The games are scheduled for release in the United States, Europe and Asia (except Japan) in the middle of 1998.
"Red Jack: Revenge of the Brethren" is being developed by CyberFlix, the creators of "Titanic: Adventure Out of Time" and "Dust: A Tale of the Wired West." The game utilizes CyberFlix's proprietary technology, Dream Factory, which enables the creation of completely 3D-rendered, animated characters that inhabit fully navigable virtual environments.
"Red Jack: Revenge of the Brethren" is an interactive, graphic action
adventure set during the Golden Age of piracy. The player, hurled into
treachery and villainy, travels to exotic ports of call, battles cutthroat pirates, meets assassins and ghosts while trying to solve the mystery of Red Jack.
"By teaming with CyberFlix, a leading developer of adventure-based games, THQ continues its commitment to publishing high quality PC products with unique gameplay and cutting-edge technology," said Brian J. Farrell, president and CEO, THQ. "'Red Jack: Revenge of the Brethren' combines a revolutionary approach to this virtual 360 degree environment with compelling characters and an in-depth story for the ultimate epic action adventure."
"We are delighted to be working with a company like THQ who has proven
experience in successfully launching games," said Bill Appleton, CyberFlix president and creator of DreamFactory technology. "With our advanced approach to 3D characters, utilizing unique interactivity made possible by recent advancements to DreamFactory, our aim in 'Red Jack: Revenge of the Brethren' is to erase the mechanical barriers that separate the audience from the story."
