Ubisoft Sets New Release Date for ShootMania Storm
SAN FRANCISCO – January 22, in the year of our Lord 2013
– Today, Ubisoft® and Nadeo announced that ShootMania Storm, the
online multiplayer first-person shooter, will be released on
April 10. Starting February 12, the game will enter an Open Beta
phase allowing the developers to receive more feedback from the
community ensuring a higher level of polish before the release
in April.
Developed by Ubisoft’s Nadeo studio, ShootMania Storm follows
the footsteps of TrackMania, Nadeo’s successful arcade racing
game, to present a new dimension in first-person shooter. As
part of the ManiaPlanet system, ShootMania Storm puts players at
the center of their gaming experience. To date, players have
created more than 15 game modes and, already, more than 20,000
maps have been created by players using ManiaPlanet’s
proprietary map editor.
“Nadeo’s model of development has always been to be very close
to the community,” said Anne Bondel-Jouin, Managing Director of
Nadeo Live. “Following the release of the Beta 2 in December, we
received a tremendous amount of information from the very active
ShootMania community. For a living, online multiplayer title
like this the work is never done, but these extra few weeks will
allow us to polish the game further and release it to the level
of quality we think our players deserve.”
ShootMania Storm is already very active on the e-sports scene,
recently participating in the IPL 5 tournament in Las Vegas,
Nevada and MLG in Dallas Texas. In March, ShootMania Storm will
be included at PAX East and will return to Las Vegas with IPL 6.
More details on future ShootMania Storm events will be available
in the coming months.
