ALTAR interactive announces taking up development of The Dreamland Chronicles: Freedom Ridge, formerly by Mythos Games

(Brno, December 1, 2001): ALTAR interactive, s.r.o. is pleased to announce that it will be developing the game The Dreamland Chronicles: Freedom Ridge for the UK publisher Virgin Interactive Entertainment. The game was originally developed by Mythos Games.

ALTAR interactive would like to stress that it values highly the work of Mythos Games and will be working closely with designer Julian Gollop to ensure the consistency of vision of the game.

At the same time, ALTAR will be making many changes and improvements to the original project. While the atmosphere is important, the main objective is to concentrate on the pure gameplay; to build up on the successful elements of similar games in the past and to creatively evolve them in an up-to-date computer game.

For the reasons of possible copyright problems, the name of the game is going to be changed as well. The current working title is UFO: Freedom Ridge. The actual name should be confirmed in January, 2002. The scheduled release date is Christmas 2002.

ALTAR interactive and Virgin Interactive will do their best to keep the fans informed about the current state of development. We value any feedback we might receive.
