Espoo, Finland Sept. 18, 2008 -- Nokia and Capcom today announced
that Resident Evil
Degeneration
will be released on N-Gage later this
year. With gameplay optimized for N-Gage, including two separate play
modes, plus multiple mission types and 3D quality graphics, Resident
Evil Degeneration is a cutting edge title that illustrates the unique
capabilities of the N-Gage platform.
The
game, part-based on the upcoming October theatrical release in Japan
full-length CG motion picture of the same name, focuses on the release
of a deadly virus by a terrorist at a US airport and follows series
favourites Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield, as they attempt to destroy
the virus and prevent it from being dispersed across the country.
Resident Evil Degeneration is the first full-length CG motion picture
from the Resident Evil series, widely considered to be the benchmark of
the survival horror video game genre.
"We're
thrilled to bring another major franchise to our N-Gage platform," said
Gregg Sauter, Director of Third Party Publishing, Nokia. "For many
years, Capcom has been entertaining people around the world with
exceptional gaming experiences and we're delighted that they have
decided to release one of their most popular franchises for N-Gage.
Resident Evil Degeneration will serve as an exciting new chapter for
fans of the series and deliver a unique gaming experience that they
will not be able to achieve anywhere else. "
"The
release of Resident Evil Degeneration illustrates our dedication to
N-Gage," said Takeshi Tezuka, general manager of Capcom's mobile
Division. "We believe that the platform is an excellent home for some
of our most famous franchises and our dedication to quality and
creative thinking has seen us create a unique game with stunning
visuals and in-depth game play, never before seen on the mobile."
