Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords

Bringing far off lands to the Wii the Autumn

D3Publisher of Europe has announced it will release its extremely popular game Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords for the Nintendo Wii this Autumn, with a mobile phone version to follow early in 2008. Designed specifically to entertain both casual and hardcore gamers with its challenging play sessions and turn-based action, Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords incorporates strategy, role-playing elements and a gripping storyline in a puzzle board setting. Set in the Warlords universe, the game challenges players to create, develop and customize the ultimate hero in order to save the land of Etheria from evil Lord Bane. To advance their character, players battle in turn-based, head-to-head 'match-three' style puzzle games in one of three distinct gameplay modes: single-player allows gamers to battle against the AI as they embark on over 150 challenging quests, Instant Action allows gamers to jump in and immediately play continuous battles to level-up characters without participating in quests, and multiplayer allows gamers to battle live opponents. Victory will advance the player's hero, magical arsenal, creature companions and more - ultimately rewarding gamers at nearly every turn and providing endless hours of content. D3PA's recently acquired development studio, Vicious Cycle Software, co-developer of Puzzle Quest for the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system, will develop Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords for Nintendo Wii console, while the mobile publishing and distribution rights were awarded by the publisher to THQ Inc.'s ValuSoft and THQ Wireless divisions. 'It has been tremendously exciting for us to see Puzzle Quest find such a wide-ranging audience,' commented Suzanne Sutton, PR and Marketing Manager for D3PE. 'We look forward to growing the fan-base even further through what we are confident will be successful relationships with such highly regarded allies as Infinite Interactive, THQ and Vicious Cycle.'
