A devastated future highlighted by the near destruction of the human race is
what awaits gamers as Majesco, a provider of diversified products
and content for digital entertainment platforms, today announced Phantom Dust.
An action/strategy game developed by Microsoft Games Studios Japan, Phantom
Dust will be available this winter for exclusive play on the Xbox(R) video game
system from Microsoft.

“Phantom Dust is one of the great new titles we have scheduled to kick-off
our 2005 product lineup,” said Ken Gold, vice president of Marketing for
Majesco. “Developed by Microsoft Games Studios Japan, Phantom Dust will
take full advantage of Xbox Live(TM) by allowing players to obtain and trade
more than 300 of the game’s “skills” online, while giving them a deep
and involved single-player game experience at the same time.”

Successfully released in Japan where it has earned a coveted score of 34 out of
40 from Famitsu magazine, one of the top video games publications in Japan, Phantom
Dust is an anime-inspired game set in a post-apocalyptic era where chaos has forced
people underground for safety. Players must journey above ground in a quest to
learn who and what was behind the destruction, but the surface is a place of deadly
evil filled with unimaginable abominations. It is also home to mysterious particles
known only as Phantom Dust, a force unlike any other that has given some members
of the human race unimaginable super powers.

Featuring more than 200 single-player missions where players can build up their
skill inventory, Majesco’s Phantom Dust also features several multiplayer modes
via Xbox Live. Once connected, players can attain special skills and unlock
new battle arenas by winning and competing in Live battles. Players can then
trade these skills with other Xbox Live users, attempting to amass the more
than 300 skills available. A game of fast-paced action and cunning strategy,
Phantom Dust will test the physical and mental prowess of even the most advanced
player.

Phantom Dust for Xbox is scheduled for release this winter. More information
