release date is offered at this time. Here's the skinny: Paradox
Interactive announce Penumbra expansion The horror continues in Requiem
New York, USA (April 16, 2008) – Paradox Interactive announced today an
expansion to critically acclaimed horror series Penumbra. Like previous
installments of the already proclaimed cult classic, independent team Frictional
Games has developed the expansion.
"Requiem" will tie up loose ends from previous installments and as Philip
progresses he will encounter various characters from his past. Penumbra: Requiem
delves deeper into the world of the Tuurngait infection and personalities from
the previous two games, Overture and Black Plague. Long lost friends will return
and aid Philip on his quest, but can they really be trusted?
"We believed very strongly in this team and their skills from the start and now
that the Penumbra series has become such a hit worldwide, those who doubted have
been proven wrong", said Fredrik Wester, Executive Vice President for Paradox
Interactive. "Therefore it was a no-brainer for us to sign this expansion, and
we are convinced fans of the series will be equally excited about the news!"
In the bizarre world of Penumbra: Requiem players will experience another
psychological thrill on a level unheard of before Penumbra: Black Plague. This
time telling what is real and what is not will be even harder and not always
trusting your senses will be essential in order to survive.
"After the launch of Penumbra: Black Plague we realized that we still had some
unfinished ideas for features and story line that we wanted to implement. An
expansion like this will be the perfect end to a series that has given both us
and the players so much", said Jens Nilsson, Co-founder of Frictional Games.
Penumbra: Requiem will be a download only expansion and available exclusively
via GamersGate.
Penumbra: Overture and Penumbra: Black Plague are both available on
