Oslo, Norway February 12, 2004 Following the critically acclaimed
and award-winning Anarchy Online - Shadowlands, Funcom today announces
Anarchy Online - Alien Invasion. Set for release this summer, the next
chapter in the Anarchy Online saga further strengthens the sci-fi
aspects of Anarchy Online, making the game even more unique compared
to current and forthcoming offerings within the Massively Multiplayer
Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) genre.  

In Anarchy Online Alien Invasion Funcom once again offers a game
full of innovative features and fun gameplay elements. Not only will the
social aspects be greatly improved, with players being able to construct
their own towns, set up unique shops and build impressive organization
headquarters, they also get their action quota filled when they come
face to face with aliens wielding superior technology.  

The new alien menace threatens all of the citizens on Rubi-Ka as the
planet is suddenly invaded. A massive call to arms is sounded across the
planet as the players rally to defend their own cities against the alien
hordes. The players can also fight their way into the heart of
invading spaceships, gaining riches, fame and power.

"With Anarchy Online - Alien Invasion we continue our focus on fun and
fast-paced gameplay within a sci-fi setting", says Game Director
Marius Enge, and continues: "While Anarchy Online is already
considered to be one of the best MMORPG's on the market, we believe that
the exciting new features in Alien Invasion will take it to a whole
new level"

Additionally, a new line of Yalms will be made available, as well as new
items, weapons, armour, social clothes and quests.
