Microsoft Corp. today announced that it has entered a
publisher partner deal with renowned Japanese game developer Capcom which will
see Microsoft publish the widely anticipated title ‘Steel BattalionÔ’ in
Europe. Steel Battalion will be exclusively available on Xbox™, the
future-generation video game console that delivers new and unforeseen gameplay
experiences.
Steel Battalion, a mech-war simulation game, offers a level of realistic and
gritty gameplay unlike any other game. A fully immersive futuristic
military warfare game, players take a virtual seat inside the cockpit of a
mechanised VT (Vertical Tank) to complete missions. Steel Battalion can
only be played with a unique controller equipped with 40 buttons and switches,
two joysticks, a gear stick and three floor pedals which has already seen it
awarded a prestigious “Best of What’s New” award from US magazine Popular
Science.
