Record of Agarest War Arrives on PlayStation®Network, Fall 2009

MASSIVE WARS, BOUNTIFUL WOMEN, AND A CORNUCOPIA OF DEBAUCHARY!

Record of Agarest War Arrives on PlayStation®Network, Fall 2009!

Torrance, CA (August 28th, 2009) - Aksys Games, a publisher of interactive entertainment
products, announces the first epic SRPG for PlayStation®Network, Record of Agarest
War. In this game developed by Compiled Heart, Red Entertainment, and Idea Factory,
SRPG fanatics will finally be able to play a game worthy of the genre. Sporting
over one hundred hours of gameplay, Record of Agarest War invites players into
a gorgeous, expansive world of hope and despair. Players will wage war against
the evil forces of darkness, take a bride - actually, several brides - and extend
their lineage through five generations!

"This is one of those titles where morbid curiosity really hits you once see
some screenshots," states Michael Manzanares, Associate Producer, Aksys Games.
"Instead of being nothing but cheesecake, Record of Agarest War turns out to
have some length and girth to it. Color us surprised."

Record of Agarest War Prologue
In the void before time flowed and space existed, the twelve gods were. Gods
of light and darkness, they came together to create the world of Agarest, a perfect
and divine paradise. The gods created life, bringing forth animals and plants
by the thousands-among them the intelligent races, such as elves and humans.

But even paradise cannot last forever, and in time, war darkened the skies of
Agarest. Not a simple war between mortals, easily ended by divine intervention,
but a war that split the gods themselves. Armies such as the world had never
seen before, and would never see again, clashed in the skies of Agarest, across
its surface, and even in the caverns that wound their way through its interior.

As is the way in war, many died on both sides, gods and mortals alike, and the
war left Agarest broken, blackened, and dead. The gods wept for their paradise,
and in a final act of creation, sacrificed themselves to bring life back to its
charred and twisted surface.

That was many thousands of years ago, and although the gods are long dead, the
withering darkness that began and fueled their war is not. Imprisoned for millennia,
its bonds have begun to weaken, and as they do, a shadow once again spreads across
the surface of the world.

Born into this world perched unknowingly on the brink of the apocalypse, a young
man by the name of Leonhardt and his descendants are the last, best hope for
Agarest. Their journey will span generations and continents as they strive to
once again bring peace to their beleaguered world, even as the cost of their
own souls.
