iEntertainment Network Launches
Dawn of Aces III! Combat Flying of World War I
CARY, N.C., July 9, 2003, —
iEntertainment Network (IENT), the award-winning developer of the popular
WarBirds TotalSim series, announced today the launch of Dawn of Aces III, a
major new addition to the award winning TotalSims series of products. The new
release, Dawn of Aces III, includes a new World War I terrain, 7 new airplanes,
and new flight models designed to perfectly match the flying characteristics of
World War I aircraft.
Dawn of Aces III is a new product
that continues the tradition of World War I flying started by the award winning
Dawn of Aces II, which was originally launched by IENT in 1998.
A little more than a decade after
the Wright brothers’ historic flight at Kittyhawk, the demands of war
transformed the airplane into a weapon of death. Made of wood, canvas and wire,
these early fighters took to the air filled with gasoline, ammunition and the
likelihood that too steep a dive would rip the wings to shreds.
With Dawn of Aces III, the player
can climb into the cockpit of a WWI Biplane to patrol the skies and engage the
enemy in ferocious close quarter dogfights. The player can become a hero just
like Baron von Richthofen, Captain Rickenbacker, Bishop, Guynemer, Mannock, and
Ball, some of the greatest aviators of World War I.
Dawn of Aces III is the online game
that will be the basis for IENT’s new retail game about World War I flying. The
new game will be called SkyKnights and will be released in the fall of 2003.
The new retail game will include
over 30 single player missions from Training, Instant Action, and Campaign
missions starting with Bloody April in 1917. The new game will include a brand
new interface, four difficulty levels from Arcade to Simulation, so players can
start easy and learn to be a real fighter pilot, a new reward and role playing
system that allows the player to progress from Lieutenant to General and win all
the awards an aviator can earn including the Medal of Honor. SkyKnights will
also include a mission builder so players can continue to design and fly their
own missions, and trade them with other players.
When the player wants to come
online, he can join IENT’s massively multiplayer online game service to
participate in online battles with hundreds of players from all over the world.
Dawn of Aces III can be downloaded
for Free from www.TotalSims.com .
Everyone gets two weeks Free to fly and try the game.
