DERRY CITY - April 04, 2011 – Today Dark Water Studios
announced the German retail release of DogFighter, the
next-generation PC game from the Independent Northern Irish game
development studio in German-speaking countries. The special
edition of the game features an exclusive aircraft. DogFighter®
is available throughout German speaking countries now.
The deal, inked with Berlin-based games publisher “Just A
Game GmbH”, will see the special edition of
DogFighter® made available throughout Europe's
German-speaking territories (Germany, Austria and Switzerland).
“
Don’t expect to be trimming your flaps or checking your
oil pressure!” said Sean 'MooTV' McCafferty, Design Lead
at Dark Water Studios. “
With DogFighter we set out to adrenalise the standard
aerial-combat game. A DogFighter pilot is a thrill seeker, a
crack shot; someone that wants the thrill of the hunt with none of
the tail-chasing hangups usually found in aerial combat
games.”
PC GAMER calls it “...
a cracker jack combination of Quake like blasting, breakneck
turns and dizzying loop the loops …”
“
DogFighter has over 130,000 players and it is great to see the
demand for it is growing. We look forward to seeing the
German-speaking countries embrace the full-throttle thrills that
DogFighter offers” said Lee Fallon, Head of Business
Development. “
At Dark Water Studios we place an emphasis on developing
original IP for domestic and international markets. The fact
that we have signed this deal with JAG is a strong show of support
that the games we create are what the market wants right now.
This is very encouraging news.”
