KONAMI REVEALS NANOBREAKER - AN ALL-NEW ACTION GAME
FROM THE CREATOR OF CASTLEVANIA
REDWOOD CITY, CALIF. - January 9, 2004 - At the
company's annual gamers' day, Konami Digital Entertainment - America,
a division of Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc., today revealed a
brand new PlayStation®2 3D action title, Nanobreaker .
Developed by Koji Igarashi, the famed producer behind the legendary
Castlevania series, Nanobreaker is poised to become another celebrated
Konami action game franchise.
Nanobreaker is a fast-paced 3D action game in which the main character
wields a powerful, shape-shifting Plasma Blade to defend mankind from
deadly nanomachines. Players will be able to slash through hordes of
enemy units and grab them for offensive attacks. In Nanobreaker 's
futuristic world, Nano technology was originally developed to enrich
humankind, but the nanomachines suddenly went awry. The machines began
to harvest the blood of humans and the iron of buildings in an effort
to construct an army of monster machines. It's up to the player to
combat this threat and save the world from apocalypse.
Nanobreaker features an advanced combo system for more skilled players
of hack-and-slash action and an easy mode for beginners. Nanobreaker
is scheduled for release in Fall 2004.
