Ubi Soft , one of the world’s largest video game publishers, today announced
it is shipping the popular Japanese mech-based shooter, Murakumo: Renegade
Mech Pursuit, exclusively for the Xbox video game system from Microsoft.
Murakumo: Renegade Mech Pursuit is a “pursue and destroy”
action game that puts you in control of an elite Mech Hunter unit that must
suppress a rampage of renegade mechs programmed for terror and destruction,
bent on eliminating everything in their path.

Previously released in Japan, Murakumo: Renegade Mech Pursuit features 20 intense
missions – 10 exclusive to the US version – challenging players to chase down
and destroy renegade mechs through bustling city streets and towering skylines.
Players choose from five different elite Murakumo Mechs, each with their own
devastating arsenal and abilities and several different modes of play, including
Scenario Mode, Free Mission and Expert Mission. Murakumo: Renegade Mech Pursuit
also features an all-new Trial Mode, which allows players to challenge 10 Giant,
mechanized bosses to beat and record personal best Rank and Clear Time. . .

Intensifying Murakumo’s thrilling game play is the game’s incredible speed.
It is easily the fastest moving Mech game ever created for any gaming platform,
exploding the myth that Mechs are slow, plodding machines. “The plodding
brutes of Steel Battalion and MechAssault can’t even fire missiles that travel
as fast as you will in Murakumo,” commented Xbox.Ign.com. Official
Xbox Magazine was similarly excited about Murakumo’s incredible pace, “Did
we mention that this game is FAST? Depending on your mech, you can literally
race through levels at breakneck speeds chasing down targets for a real rush…“
