Midway Obtains Unreal Publishing Rights Can't Post

Midway Games Inc. announced a multi-year, multi-product agreement with Epic Games to publish three new videogames based on the Unreal franchise. The agreement marks Midway's entrance into the premium PC games sector with a property that has sold more than seven million units worldwide and generated nearly $200 million in revenue.

Midway will obtain worldwide publishing rights for the three Unreal titles from Epic, including Unreal Championship® 2, an Xbox exclusive title scheduled to ship in 2005, and two future installments of Unreal Tournament on PC and upcoming next generation consoles. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Only Korean PC rights were excluded from the deal.

Scheduled to arrive exclusively for Xbox in February 2005, Unreal Championship 2 is a popular multiplayer shooter action game that pits players against each other in an eight-person Xbox Live! multiplayer challenge. Built from the ground up for the Xbox, Unreal Championship 2 features all new gameplay elements, including a deep melee combat system that seamlessly blends in with the ranged weapon combat the series is known for, a full story-driven single-player mode, dozens of all new maps, new game modes and an arsenal of new weaponry.
