CHICAGO – August 3, 2004 – Midway Games today announced its official pre-order campaign for Shadow Hearts: Covenant, the sequel to the critically acclaimed role-playing game in 2001. Consumers can now pre-order Covenant from selected retailers and receive a copy of the original Shadow Hearts for free, while supplies last. Scheduled to ship on September 27, 2004 exclusively for PlayStation 2, Shadow Hearts: Covenant is a deep, engaging RPG set in a fantastical world filled with ancient magic, mystical lore, unspeakable curses and a diabolical plot.
Amidst the chaos of World War I over a year after the original Shadow Hearts ended, Yuri and Karin embark on an epic journey testing their power and magic skills to combat terrifying creatures and conquer the evil that Rasputin plans to unleash upon the world.
The epic adventure that fills 2 DVDs with over 40 hours of intense gameplay brings back its innovative combat system, The Judgment Ring, allowing players to wield the power necessary to fulfill their destiny. Players must combine split second timing and skillful combat strategy to master the Judgment Ring's powerful and stackable attacks. The improved Judgment Ring allows players to choose which characters to bring to battle and features new team-based combo attacks and defensive formations. Also featured in Covenant is an inventive magic system where players must build skill sets, strategize gameplay moves, earn and cast spells with a team of complex characters, based on distinct personalities, attributes and magical abilities.
The bonus item (approximate retail value $19.95) will ship with purchased product. Order while supplies last. Only limited quantities will be available. For more information on Shadow Hearts: Covenant visit: www.shadowheartscovenant.com.
