Lighthouse Interactive Announces
War World: Tactical Combat

Amsterdam, The Netherlands, October
19th – Fast growing Dutch publisher Lighthouse Interactive today announced that
it has acquired the pan-European rights for the PC game “War World: Tactical
Combat” in a deal with Australian developer Third Wave Games.

The agreement will give Lighthouse
Interactive publishing rights for all European territories and Russia, as well
as Turkey and Australia/NZ. Erik Schreuder, Lighthouse CEO, said: “We are
extremely pleased to add War World to our stable of promising titles. With the
planned additions that we will be making, we think it is going to be a great
game. So far we have been very impressed by the great looks and smooth feel of
the game and by the fantastic netcode, allowing gamers to play virtually lagfree
over large distances. We’re very keen to bring War World to European gamers in a
couple of months.”

War World is a planet dedicated to
conflict and battle. A world where powerful armored mechanised warriors compete
in savage battles in breathtaking outdoor arenas. War World features 50
different weapons systems from long-range missiles and mortars, through to the
brutal, close-action mini gun, pinpoint accurate laser cannons and many, many
more. Combined with an unreal range of electronic weapons systems,
countermeasures, surveillance technologies and a range of different mechanoid
chassis to customize, War World offers a totally new experience for fast paced
shooter fans and gamers worldwide. Look out for War World on European retail
shelves by mid February 2006.

Morten Brodersen, CEO at Third Wave
Games, added: “We are very pleased to be working with such a respected partner
as Lighthouse Interactive and are looking forward to bringing War World to
pan-European retail.”

The enhanced version of “War World:
Tactical Combat” is being built on the core of the much acclaimed version 1.06,
a version which had been previously available as an online-only release in North
America. The much improved European retail version will feature several new
additions to that version such as LAN support, “Capture the Flag" and "Team
Objective” multiplayer modes and two additional singleplayer modes: “Deathmatch”
and “Team Deathmatch”.
