Games Convention in Leipzig is coming up next week.
Games Convention in Leipzig is coming up next week. For those unfamiliar with this particular show, GC is three times the size of the old E3, rivaling only the Tokyo Game Show as one of the biggest shows in the world. If old-style E3 was an event, Leipzig is epic, and you don
t have to be press—or put up a blog, write a few entries, and pass yourself off as press to get in.
To answer the most important question: Yes, we are going to be showing at GC. We plan to show something really special, but were also going to be offering hands-on time with the game itself. Bring your bodies, your reflexes, and your video cameras, and be ready to experience the world of Hyboria in all its savage, sexy glory. Were well aware that people want to know, and see, more of the game and what better platform to do it than one of the biggest gaming shows in the world?
As we do with most major events, were putting together a new press kit and package of assets to promote the game. Usually, these go to reporters, gaming sites, and the press as a whole, but this time, were debuting a sample of the materials we? ve put together on our community site. These are new screenshots, taken just a few days ago with the latest build of the game. You can see them here.
Those who are particularly sharp-eyed may get just a hint of what were planning to show at this years GC, but all of you who attend are invited to come to our public area for hands-on time with the game. Perhaps youll be lucky enough to sit in Conans throne and take pictures with our lovely Hyborian slave girl. For players who just cant get enough information, we? re also going to be doing closed-door demonstrations with major press and fansites revealing even more about the game.
Were also going to be encouraging filming by everyone press, players, fans, everyone as we know videos and actual gameplay footage are what everybody wants to see. Theres no NDA, no restrictions will be in place, so for the first time, players can not only get their hands on the game, they can share their experiences with the world.
We know youre going to love it, so fly, drive, or swim to Germany, come to Leipzig, and finally plunge into the world of Hyboria.
