FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CDV Announces Revised "Breed" and "Imperium Galactica III" Dates Two Major PC Titles to Launch in Q2 2003

CARY, NC - October 24, 2002 - CDV Software Entertainment, one of the leading German publishers and distributors of gaming software, today revised the release dates for two of its highly-anticipated PC titles in order to add some crucial features, and ensure the finished titles devastate the competition.

Hungarian developer Mithis Games has joined CDV and Philos Labs to work on the space strategy title "Imperium Galactica III." Originally planned for release at the end of 2002, the extra development time will allow the team to add a new multiplayer mode - extending the shelf life of this already colossal game.

Even in its early stage of development, "Breed" has attracted a great deal of interest from the industry, winning the 'Best PC Game' award at this year's ECTS. Developed by British newcomers Brat Designs, it is a stunning first-person shooter that offers players unprecedented freedom in the squad-based genre.

The team has been granted additional development resources in order to fully maximize the game for the next generation of graphics cards.

Additionally, the developer is integrating modifications to ensure that gamers can create their own missions. Players the world over will be able to sample the game in all its glory towards the end of 2002, when a single-player demo of "Breed" will be made available.

"We've already had an amazing amount of interest for both these games. By granting an additional few months of development time, we are making them even better," said Terry Malham, president, CDV Software Entertainment UK. "We have the utmost confidence that the wait will be more than worth it."
