PREHISTORIC SURVIVAL ACTION UNLEASHED IN ACTIVISION PUBLISHING’S UPCOMING JURASSIC: THE HUNTED

Fight for Your Life Against Bloodthirsty Dinosaurs


MINNEAPOLIS, MN – October 16, 2009 – Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) announced today that Jurassic: The Hunted will be released November 3 on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®2 and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment systems, and Wii™. This is a relentless first person action game where you must fight for survival by scavenging for weapons, defending barricades, and battling titanic dinosaurs.

“Get ready to be the hunted,” said David Oxford, Activision Publishing. “In Jurassic: The Hunted players will experience nonstop, vicious dinosaur attacks coming from all directions – and these are massive beasts that don’t go down with a single rifle shot.”

Jurassic: the Hunted is an epic shooter set on a dark, mysterious island lost in time. Players assume the role of weapons and survival expert Craig Dylan, who has been hired to protect a research team studying the strange temporal energy of the island. Protection quickly becomes a fight for survival as Dylan is pulled back in time through the Bermuda Triangle and finds himself facing the most terrifying creatures in the history of the planet.

Combat encounters include “arena” style fights, fortification sieges, survival modes and unforgettable boss battles. Adrenaline bursts give you an edge – this cinematic gameplay feature allows the player to visualize and then target an opponent’s weak points in slow motion. Jurassic the Hunted promises hours of dino-survivalist entertainment at its finest.

Jurassic: The Hunted will be available on Xbox 360®, PlayStation®3, and Wii™ for $39.99. The PlayStation®2 version will be $29.99. For more information visit www.activision.com.
