CDV and Sirius Games announce that Escape from Paradise City is gold, and this role playing and strategy game, once considered a sequel to Gangland, is due in North American stores on October 24:

Escape from Paradise City, the combination RTS and RPG from cdv Software Entertainment USA and Sirius Games, has gone gold today. In Escape from Paradise City, which is set to ship to North American retailers on October 24, gamers will play as three unique characters -- an ex-con, a streetwise hand-to-hand expert, and a corrupt FBI agent -- who find themselves forced to help the government infiltrate the criminal underworld of the most corrupt city in America. The three playable characters each offer unique skills and abilities and will earn experience and upgrades by taking out the competition. In the end of the game, players will choose one character for a final showdown with the city's mysterious crime lord, who's more than the average thug - or the average human.
