Interplay and Monolith announce Distribution Agreement

Interplay and Monolith announce Distribution Agreement is the latest business move hitting the game wire. Interplay Entertainment and Monolith Productions announced an exclusive agreement for Interplay to distribute three of Monolith’s highly-anticipated role-playing games (RPGs) in North America.

The three titles, Rage of Mages II: Necromancer, Septerra Core and Odium will all ship for the PC this Fall. Septerra Core, developed by the Chicago-based software company, Valkyrie Studios, is a futuristic fable set on a world of seven continents that float, one above the other, around a central, living computer core. In Rage of Mages II, the sequel to the innovative, Russian-developed fantasy RPG/strategy title, players are introduced to new role-playing elements such as non-linear missions and more complex interactions with non-player characters (NPCs).
