Next Chapter in the Award-Winning Geometry
Wars™ Franchise is Newest Title Released under the Sierra™
Label
Today marks the newest addition to the Sierra™ library of games
with the release of Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions. This
frenetic arcade shooter from developer Lucid Games is the latest
installment in the Geometry Wars franchise. The new game advances
the series to unexplored frontiers, bringing its retro-inspired
action and energy to more platforms than ever before with an added
twist to its classic gameplay – 3D grids!
“Geometry Wars is a part of our DNA,” said Craig Howard,
Co-founder of Lucid Games. “Several of us here worked on prior
games in the series, and we’ve had ideas kicking around in our
heads for where it could go next. Partnering with Sierra to bring
those visions to life has been an amazing experience.”
Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions is an exciting evolution
of the fast-paced twin-stick shooter gameplay the Geometry Wars
franchise helped define nearly a decade ago. While the game’s look
should be immediately familiar to hardcore fans, it features new 3D
action and gameplay modes, a dedicated single-player campaign with
50 levels and revamped online cooperative and competitive
multiplayer. It also adds five unique companion drones, new
power-ups, electrifying boss battles and community
leaderboards. There are also Classic Arcade modes available
for those still hungry for the original Geometry Wars
experience.
Lucid Games’ partnership with the Sierra label has given the
developer an opportunity to remain independent, but still be able
to create the game they dreamed about. As part of Activision
Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard,
Inc. (NASDAQ: ATVI), Sierra’s focus is on working with indie
studios to bring both classic and original high-quality new games
to market.
Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions is a digital-only
title available today for $14.99 in North America for the
PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment systems
through the PlayStation®Network, as well as PC via Steam. It
arrives November 26 for Xbox One, the all-in-one games and
entertainment system from Microsoft, and Xbox 360 games and
entertainment system from Microsoft on the Xbox Games Store. The
game is rated E (Everyone) by the ESRB. For more information, visit
the official website, like the game on Facebook and follow it on
