BOCA RATON, Fla., April 30, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Silverstar Holdings, Ltd.'s (Nasdaq:SSTR) PC software publishing unit, Strategy First Inc., and Parallax Arts Studio unveiled the highly anticipated title, 'Exodus from the Earth,' set to hit shelves this Fall. Exodus from the Earth will be Strategy First's ninth release for 2008, which includes hit titles like Culpa Innata, Bill Lee's Baseball Mogul 2008, and the recently released Jack Keane.
Developed by Parallax Arts Studio, the upcoming first-person shooter takes players out of this world and on a quest to reveal the secrets of a dangerously powerful corporation and fight for dear life. Leading scientists always believed life on Earth would survive for at least five billion more years. However, to their shock and dismay, in the year 2016 they discovered we have only 20 years before total extinction of all living creatures upon the planet. The sun has begun to expand rapidly, scorching the Earth and turning it into a lifeless nightmare. Mankind must quickly adapt to living in space or find an Earth-like planet where it can survive.
After learning the dreadful news, the powerful A.X. Corporation developed a vaccine that allows humans to survive in any environment and plans to inject everyone on Earth. The alleged discovery of a "Second Earth" threatens the financial future of A.X., and C.I.A. officials become suspicious of the corporation, its motives, and the mysterious vaccine. Secret Agent Francis Rixon is commissioned to infiltrate the A.X. headquarters and discover the truth.
Players will be kept guessing up until the final step with the intriguing and unpredictable storyline, battling and exploring through high-poly, epic locations on two planets. The powerful arsenal offers multiple, unique attacks for each weapon to be put to full use in the dynamic gun-toting game play that transports players from the road to the sky.
"Exodus from the Earth is a next generation title that provides an exhilarating new twist to the first-person shooter genre," said Emanuel Wall, business development manager for Strategy First. "This game also will be an ideal candidate for our growing online distribution network."
Exodus from Earth is an action-packed shooter based on the advanced Riposte game engine, provided by Tools Media Corporation. Riposte uses modern processors and video accelerators to produce realistic and enriched game environments.
