Karlsruhe, Germany, September 5th 2012 - Award
winning multi-platinum selling, game developer, Reality Pump (Earth
2150, Two Worlds 2, etc.), is developing the official Iron Sky video
game "Iron Sky: Invasion," which will release in November on PC,
PlayStation® 3 and Xbox 360™. Iron Sky is a dark, comedic,
science-fiction film about Moon Nazis invading earth, which premiered
with huge fanfare earlier this year at the Berlin Film Festivals. Iron
Sky soon became one of the most spoken-of independent films of the year,
and is certain to reach cult classic status, in part, due to its brassy
humor, classic satire, and amazing visual effects.
"Iron Sky:
Invasion" puts the player in the pilot seat of defending Earth from a
sudden Nazi invasion – from space. The player has at their disposal a
variety of experimental, secretly manufactured space fighters, and are
tasked with keeping these Moon Nazis off our beloved Planet Earth. "Iron
Sky: Invasion" will bear the major underlying theme of politics:
everything, even defending your planet from "luna-r-tic"
villains, requires skillful political maneuvers. You will need to know
who you are fighting for, whose boots you are stepping on, and choose
your friends, or more importantly, enemies carefully.
"We
wanted to create a space simulation game blending political and tactical
components, with the added absurdity of Moon Nazi humor", says developer, Miroslav Dymek. "We
wanted to bring back Space fighter-style gameplay, and knew from the
very beginning the world of Iron Sky would be a perfect match."
"Iron Sky: Invasion" will utilize technology developed by Reality Pump
Studios showcasing beautiful graphics and high-speed battle sequences.
The Grace2 engine allows photorealistic renderings of hundreds of space
ships, advanced destruction physics and sophisticated AI for piloting
spacecraft. Additionally, Grace2 will show the game in stereoscopic 3D
for all players with 3D TV’s and monitors.
Reality Pump has
been developing "Iron Sky: Invasion" in close connection with the
filmmakers, who have been helping tie both the visuals and storyline
tightly into the Iron Sky universe. Jussi Lehtiniemi from Troll VFX,
CG-company responsible for all the visual effects of Iron Sky, has
captured space ship models directly from the film – the space Zeppelins,
the Nazi invasion fleet, and the Earth fleet – as well as creating
additional ship designs well suited to the Iron Sky universe.
"I've
always known that Iron Sky needed a proper video game around the
franchise, one where the whole complexity of the world of Iron Sky could
be examined," says director Timo Vuorensola, who admits being an avid gamer himself.
"I'm happy to announce Reality Pump's involvement, as the world of Iron
Sky – one we've cherished and nurtured for years - is now in the
capable hands of an experienced, quality-driven game studio."
Topware Interactive’s Iron Sky: Invasion will arrive in stores, steam and other outlets on November 30th 2012 - We come in peace
