Lyra Studios, creators of Underlight slipped the following into our mailbox:LYRA STUDIOS AND MANACCOM ANNOUNCE UNDERLIGHTŪ EXCLUSIVE PUBLISHING AGREEMENT
Manaccom to Publish and Distribute Underlight in Australia and New Zealand
Los Angeles, CA and Brisbane, Australia, January 18, 2001 - Lyra Studios, developer of the massively multiplayer online role-playing game UnderlightŪ, and Manaccom, one of Australia's leading publishers and distributors, are pleased to announce an agreement that will see Manaccom handle the publishing and distribution of UnderlightŪ in Australia and New Zealand.
"We are excited that Underlight will receive some much needed retail exposure, and look forward to working with Manaccom to insure the success of Underlight in the Australasian market," said Brent Phillips, President of Lyra Studios.
"Manaccom are excited by the potential of Underlight in Australian & New Zealand retail markets. Online games have languished in the Australian marketplace but technology has finally caught up with them! With both cable and ADSL connections now gaining acceptance, the potential for on-line gaming has exploded. It becomes an exciting, challenging new arena for gamers, and Underlight is the perfect product for gamers to reap the benefit from their broadband connections," said Lindsay Whipp of Manaccom.
UnderlightŪ is expected to reach shelves in Australia by late February, with a suggested retail price of $9.90 USD. Bundled with the UnderlightŪ CD and manual will be three months of free play.
