EUGENE, OREGON – January 17, 2008 – After
months of rumors and a recent video leak on the web, GarageGames today announced
initial details for Fallen Empire: Legions, a first person shooter for the
recently announced 3D online game platform,
InstantAction.com.
“This is a first person shooter built by hardcore gamers who are wildly
passionate about the genre,” said Tim Aste, project director for Fallen Empire:
Legions. “The game design allows for us to create a unique experience that
brings FPS gaming back to its roots. Legions won’t be just any ordinary jewel
matching web game; in terms of graphics and gameplay it will set a new benchmark
of what the future of gaming will be on the web.”
"We created InstantAction to give ourselves and the rest of the development
community an outlet to make the games they want to play. Rather than churning
out sequels or licensed games, we're working with developers focused on creating
cool gameplay," said Josh Williams, CEO of GarageGames. "Fallen Empire: Legions
will be InstantAction's most advanced example of this so far. Marrying core
games with the accessibility and social power of the web is a huge step forward
in the industry, and I personally can't wait for this game to be released so I
can hop on and start playing everyone."
Developed internally by GarageGames, Fallen Empire: Legions combines distinctive
freedom of movement with fast paced first-person combat to create strategic,
team-oriented gameplay. The InstantAction platform has allowed Fallen Empire:
Legions to leverage the best of what the web has to offer, creating an evolving
experience for players that can constantly be improved upon. This is
first-person warfare at its fastest and finest!
