    San Francisco, Calif., October 26, 1999 -- -- Eidos Interactive, a leading worldwide developer and publisher interactive entertainment software, today announced the availability of Cinematix Studios' Revenant for PC CD-ROM. This innovative role-playing game combines a fully functional combat system with adventure elements and a deep storyline

    Revenant is a dark fantasy role-playing game that immerses gamers in a visually stunning and challenging environment. With breathtaking 65,000 color graphics, fully animated 3D characters, true light sourcing and coloring in Direct 3D, Revenant is by far the most vibrant and detailed role-playing game to date.

    The multiplayer capabilities include six custom designed deathmatch levels for play on EidosGames.com. A demo is available for download at www.eidos.com.
