Armed Assault Shoots Publishing Deal For Q1 2007

The Czechs from Bohemia Interactive have finally signed a publishing deal for their upcoming Armed Assault military simulation game, which one could say will be the true sequel to their acclaimed Operation Flashpoint. Even though that license now belongs to Codemasters, Bohemia kept on doing what it does best, and so their new project is now nearing completion.

Originally called Armed Assault, the game has been signed by the flourishing UK-based videogames publisher 505 Games, who are planning to release it in the first quarter of 2007, under the new title ArmA: Armed Assault. The publishing agreement between the two companies primarily covers the European territories (excluding Germany and Eastern European countries), and will hopefully be followed by one that will secure a worldwide distribution for Bohemia's upcoming tactical shooter.

"The game offers players incredible realism, dense tactics and intense strategy. You will need to rely on keen eyesight, gut instincts and a sharp strategic mind if you are to survive on the expansive battlefields of ArmA. Every decision you make could mean the difference between death and glory for you and your troops.

ArmA also features extensive multiplayer modes and matches, which offer something for every online FPS gamer, whether they enjoy considered strategising or fast aggressive frag-fests."

Along with this annoucement, Bohemia and 505 have also released a new pack of ArmA screenshots, which you can view in our local gallery.
