Highly Anticipated MMO

San Francisco, Calif. - May 28, 2002 -- Ubi.com and Ubi Soft, the publishers of Shadowbane, are now accepting additional applications to be a beta tester of Shadowbane, the fantasy-based, massively multiplayer online (MMO) game slated for launch later this year.  Shadowbane has been in a closed beta test since January 2002.  Ubi.com will be letting thousands more players into the test this year.  Players interested in being picked to be a tester of the most highly anticipated online RPG of the year can apply for consideration at the Shadowbane Website: www.shadowbane.com.

Developed by Wolfpack Studios, Shadowbane has been called "The Next Great Online RPG" by Computer Gaming World.  Shadowbane takes the genre to a new level by offering gamers an unparalleled challenge that combines role-playing and strategic elements.  Shadowbane is the first MMO to offer a Dynamic World Model, in which players' actions and decisions permanently change the history, politics and landscape of the game.  Players will utilize both role-playing and strategic elements for city management, army creation, siege warfare and economic development.
