SIERRA ANNOUNCES TRIBES 2 IS GOLD!
The Most Anticipated Team-Based Action Game to Ship March 29th
BELLEVUE, WA (March 19, 2001) - Sierra today announced that TRIBES™ 2
(www.tribes2.com), Dynamix's eagerly awaited sequel to the 1999 Online
Action/Strategy Game of the Year* StarSiege® TRIBES™, has gone gold.
Offering PC gamers massive and breathtaking worlds for exploration and
battle, as well as unprecedented innovations in team-based, tactical
gameplay, TRIBES 2 is set to take over store shelves around the world first
week of April.
"TRIBES 2 is revolutionary not only for its gameplay, but for its
community-building features, such as forums, e-mail, IRC, news,
tribes/player pages and in-game voice," said Lee Rossini, marketing director
at Sierra. "Now gamers can start their own tribe, recruit members,
communicate with them, make MODs and participate in the Tribes 2 community
without ever having to leave the game."
"We're looking forward to seeing how players tear into this game," said Dave
Georgeson, senior producer/director at Dynamix. "There's an amazing amount
of features in TRIBES 2 and I can't wait to see all the combinations of
strategies and tactics that players develop. I think we have something here
that can really create a whole new attitude towards gaming once folks are
able to get involved with serious teams of 60+ people in a game."
The most innovative first person action franchise takes team-based warfare
to new heights with TRIBES 2, where only superior teamwork and cunning
tactics will ensure a Tribe's survival. With unprecedented innovations to
team-based play and in-game communications, massive multiplayer support and
new vehicles and weapons, TRIBES 2 is the ultimate team-based action
experience.
