300: March to Glory

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment And Eidos Sign Videogame Distribution Agreement For 300: March To Glory

**North American and European Distribution for PSP™ System Game in 2007

Burbank, Calif., May 9, 2006** – Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, a premier developer and licensor of entertainment content in the interactive space, and Eidos Interactive, one of the world’s leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, have signed an agreement for the North American and European distribution of 300: March to Glory for PSP™ (PlayStation®Portable) system, launching in 2007.

The style and feel of the videogame was influenced by Warner Bros. Pictures’ 300 film, which is based on Frank Miller’s graphic novel and directed by Zack Snyder. In the action packed 300: MARCH TO GLORY, published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, distributed by Eidos Interactive and developed by Collision Studios, players take on the role of King Leonidas, who leads the brave 300 Spartans against Xerxes and his massive Persian army.

In the game, the player, as Leonidas, uses their sword, spear and shield and the power of the soldiers in a battle to determine the very fate of western civilization. 300: MARCH TO GLORY will be a visceral experience focused on action and combat, allowing the player to fight both solo and in a phalanx alongside his fellow Spartans.
