Mirage Media sends word that a demo of Mortyr, the embattled World War II shooter whose publishing status is still up in the air, will be released at 0.00 GMT (8:00 PM EDT) this evening. Here's word from Mirage PR Manager Radoslaw Walczyk on the planned demo release, as well as what's currently known of the status of the game's international distribution:

I'm sure everyone knows Mortyr and all the rumors about the publisher, content of the game (symbols, violence). After few weeks of silence, when we were waiting the future publisher of the game, we decided to publish Internet demo. During this time we have changed many things (you can check the list at www.mortyr.com.pl/press/)like new levels, new graphic features, increased speed etc. You can see new look of Mortyr in our demo which will be available at 0.00 GMT on following sites:

www.mortyr.net
www.mirage.com.pl
www.mortyr.com.pl

This demo can be found only on Internet. No magazine will have permission to covermount it. Later in couple days we will publish another demo, bigger and containing more features, with permission to put it on cover CDs.

In about 2 weeks Polish version of Mortyr will be ready to sell. We still don't know the release date for Europe and US.

If you have some questions or comments about the demo or the game itself, mail us: mortyr@mirage.com.pl or radek@mirage.com.pl
