The company will showcase major titles from its 2006-2007 catalog at the E3 video game trade show in Los Angeles on May 10-12, 2006. Much-anticipated next-generation games scheduled for release during the year include:
- Arthur and the Minimoys (Playstation 2, PSP, PC, GBA, Nintendo DS): The interactive adaptation of the Luc Besson story, already a popular success, will be the must-have title. The game is scheduled for release at the same time as the movie, in late 2006, accompanied by an international promotional campaign.
- Alone in the Dark (Xbox 360, PC): the original "survival horror" franchise returns for PC and next-generation consoles.
- Test Drive Unlimited (Xbox 360, PC, PS2, PSP): the very first massively multiplayer online racing game is seen as the future game of reference in its genre for next-generation systems.
- Neverwinter Nights 2 (PC): the sequel to the popular role-playing game (RPG) franchise has sold more than two million copies worldwide, and boasts one of the largest and most active fan bases for role-playing games.
- Dungeons & Dragons: Tactics (PSP): the first Dungeons & Dragons game for PSP marks the D&D(R) franchise's big debut for next-generation portable systems.Wow! A "must-have" title, the return of a franchise, and a MMO racing game? We demand to know who's the genius behind this masterplan!
