Fury Challenge Details/Site Launched

Auran Games, Gamecock Media Group and Codemasters Online have announced Fury Challenge details for their up and coming title. Fury Challenge is an Open Beta event starting September 14, 2007, and will run for 3 consecutive weekends. The event will give you the chance to join 500,000 other MMO players to play Fury, and possibly win some prizes while your at it. $1,000,000 in prizes to be exact.

Tony Hilliam, CEO of Auran stated, “We believe that FURY will be the start of a PvP revolution, so why not create a revolutionary Open Beta event to show the world that we have arrived. Last week we announced our unique business model of free to play with free content updates and an optional subscription. This week, we’re pleased to announce a landmark in gaming with a total prize pool valued at over one million dollars. In late September, hundreds of thousands of players will compete to kick-start their Fury careers by winning Fury Game Cards, Fury Subscriptions and lots of other cool loot too.”

Brian Cooke, Auran Marketing Director comments, “We’ve lined up a huge array of prizes from our sponsors including NVidia, Dell, IGN, GameStop, Harvey Norman, FHM, Logitech and ZBoard. More sponsors are lining up to get their brand message on the FURY Challenge website, on in-store advertising and also on the in-game loading screens (which will be present for FURY Challenge only). The full list of sponsors and prizes will be continually updated via the www.furychallenge.com website.

Adam Carpenter, Fury Creative Director says, “Although FURY Challenge is a competitive event, our main goal for this Open Beta competition is to ensure that all players have fun. There will be plenty of time once the game is up and running to get into more serious tournaments where the goal is to find the best of the best. Meanwhile, during the lead-up for FURY Challenge we are allowing players to earn as many abilities as they like. However, once the competition kicks off, we will be limiting player Ranks to ensure casual and hardcore players are competing on a level playing field.”

Richard Iggo, Gamecock VP Sales and Marketing states, “We have garnered enormous support in the North American market for FURY Challenge. For example, when we first mentioned the concept to GameStop, the world’s largest specialty games retailer, they jumped at the chance to get behind the event. They are offering FURY pre-order customers’ special access to mid-week practice sessions and to the Closed Beta prior to the event. Pre-order customers also get a special in-game suit of armor which can be used both in Fury Challenge and once the game goes live in October.”

David Solari, Vice President and General Manager of Codemasters Online Gaming adds, “Announced only last week as the European partners for FURY, Codemasters are very excited to be able to lend our support to this landmark gaming event. We look forward to adding a number of European sponsorship partners to help boost the prize pool and to ensure that FURY Challenge is a major success.”
