SEGA PARTNERS WITH TRI-ACE INC. FOR  EPIC NEW RPG, RESONANCE OF FATE

15th May 2009 - SEGA® of America, Inc., SEGA® Europe, Ltd and tri-Ace Inc. today announced a partnership to develop Resonance of Fate™, a brand new role-playing-game for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system.

Developed by Tokyo-based tri-Ace Inc., Resonance of Fate redefines the RPG genre with a unique storyline, highly stylised graphics, and an emphasis on realistic gunplay and engrossing action. Players will be immersed in a gritty, highly mechanised world unlike any other. With Hollywood-style action sequences, customisable weapons, and memorable characters, Resonance of Fate takes players far beyond the boundaries of the typical RPG.

“Partnering up with a respected developer like tri-Ace adds to SEGA’s already great line-up.” said Gary Knight, European Marketing Director for SEGA Europe. “With titles like Star Ocean and Valkyrie Profile, the team at tri-Ace has proven themselves as masters of real time combat and great storytelling.”

Known for their RPG developing prowess, tri-Ace Inc. has enjoyed critical acclaim for both their Star Ocean and Valkyrie franchises. Resonance of Fate will be released in Australia and New Zealand in Autumn 2010.
