Highly Anticipated Indie Game Kicks Off Microsoft`s Xbox LIVE Arcade
"House Party" program on February 15; PSN and PC March 13
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Independent game developer Trapdoor and EA Partners, a division of
Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:EA) today announced that Warp™, the
highly anticipated, downloadable stealth-action puzzler will kick off
Microsoft's Xbox LIVE Arcade House Party series on February 15, 2012 for
800 Microsoft Points.
In Warp, gamers play as Zero, a loveable - yet lethal - little
orange alien with a big score to settle. Captured and experimented on by
cruel scientists, Zero must escape the Commander's research facility by
deploying powerful and deadly abilities. The choice is up to players to
take bloody revenge on every human in the incarcerating facility, or
hide and plan their escape for a no-kills, stealth game. With endless
combinations of abilities and upgrades, Warp lets players
discover the most effective ways to solve puzzles and move throughout
levels and challenge rooms, perfecting their skills and topping
competitive leaderboards.
"We're very excited to have Warp kick-off Microsoft's Xbox LIVE
Arcade House Party, an event that spotlights the work of independent
developers," said Ken Schachter, Founder, Trapdoor. "Warp
delivers an experience that is unique, original and allows gamers to
defy the traditional rules of videogames, letting them play the game
their way. We are very proud of what we've been able to accomplish and
hope players embrace it as well."
Warp will be available on PlayStation®Network in North America
and PC on March 13, 2012 for $9.99 USD. Warp will be available in
Europe on PlayStation®Network on March 14, 2012.
