Acknowledging the Halloween anniversary of the successful launch of its predecessor,
Majesco, one of the fastest-growing publishers of interactive entertainment,
today announced that BloodRayne 2 will be available in October
2004 for the PlayStation2 computer entertainment system, the Xbox video game
system from Microsoft, and personal computer.

Majesco encourages fans to register now at the official BloodRayne 2 web site,
www.BloodRayne2.com, for exclusive details
on the forthcoming debut of the BloodRayne 2 game trailer. The newly launched
site will be continually updated with additional game features, images, and
movies, and allow fans to sign up for ongoing BloodRayne 2 newsletters.

“The tremendous success and popularity of BloodRayne has secured a film
deal and helped establish BloodRayne herself as one of today’s most thrilling
new game personalities,” said Ken Gold, vice president of Marketing. “BloodRayne
2 improves upon the original game in all respects and will deliver a much bigger,
more action-packed sequel that elevates the franchise to a whole new level.”
. . .

Born from the unnatural union of vampire and human, BloodRayne is blessed with
the powers of a vampire but cursed with the unquenchable thirst for blood and
a weakness to sunlight. BloodRayne 2 challenges the supernatural anti-heroine
with her most personal battle yet as she hunts down each of her wicked siblings
who are carrying on the legacy of their dead father, Kagan. They have created
“The Shroud,” a mysterious substance which, when released, renders
the sun’s lethal rays harmless to vampires. Now only BloodRayne stands between
an unsuspecting humanity and a horrifying vampire dawn.

Expanding upon the distinctive features that were the hallmark of its predecessor
– fast-paced acrobatic combat and supernatural powers – BloodRayne 2 includes
new in-game dynamics such as pole combat, rail sliding and advanced melee fighting
with fatality moves. Built upon a modified version of the Infernal Engine, BloodRayne
2 introduces threatening new bosses, all new environments set within a huge
modern day city, a range of new supernatural powers and new motion-captured
movements complete with soft-body physics.

Majesco recently announced a deal with Vierte Boll Kino Beteiligungs-GmbH &
Co. KG (Boll KG) to bring BloodRayne to the silver screen. The movie is scheduled
to begin shooting next year.

Under development by Terminal Reality, BloodRayne 2 is scheduled for release
next October. Additional information about Majesco’s entire line up of exciting
