Action-Packed Mech Combat Rolls-Out At E3 With The New Razer Artemis Concept Controller
Razer, Piranha and Infinite Game Publishing collaborate to design a concept controller for upcoming MechWarrior Online(TM)
LOS ANGELES, June 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- (E3 2012) - Razer, the world leader in high-performance gaming hardware, today announced a partnership with Piranha Games and Infinite Game Publishing for the highly anticipated next installation of the MechWarrior® franchise, MechWarrior Online(TM). The collaboration culminates in the Razer Artemis, a concept controller crafted to give gamers a competitive edge as they stomp and destroy their way to victory in the dog-eat-dog BattleTech® universe.
The BattleMech inspired Razer Artemis concept controller puts gamers into the cockpits of their favored hulking metal behemoths, fully immersed and focused on the dangers of the battlefield, claiming wins for their chosen Great House. With fully-programmable, fine-tuned controls, the ergonomically adjustable Razer Artemis concept controller makes piloting a Mech more efficient and lethal in combat.
"The original MechWarrior PC game franchise was a formative milestone for my gaming growing up," said Robert "RazerGuy" Krakoff, President of Razer USA. "When it was announced that a new MechWarriorOnline was in the works, Razer was more than excited for the opportunity to collaborate with Piranha Games and Infinite Game Publishing. We're going to bring our own take to a concept controller that will pave the way for a new generation of robot destruction."
Russ Bullock, President of Piranha Games said, "It is my pleasure to work with Razer in designing an exclusive MechWarrior Online gaming peripheral. MechWarrior Online is a title that fans have been waiting a long time for, and allowing them the best peripheral options from the highest quality partners like Razer is something we're excited to offer. Fans of MechWarrior know how important precision controls are for their Mechs and we think this is going to be a great option for them."
Set in the year 3049 during the early stages of a massive interstellar war, MechWarrior Online puts you in command of the most powerful war machine to ever walk the field of battle, the mighty BattleMech. Command your Mech and customize it to suit your battlefield role; upgrade systems, replace weapons, and tweak armor with endless options.
