Paris, France, October 15th, 2003 - Vivendi Universal Games International announces that it will launch new titles in the Hunter franchise starting with Hunter: The Reckoning Wayward for PlayStation 2 on October 17th. This will be followed by Hunter: The Reckoning Redeemer for Xbox this November.

These two new titles are not affected by recent actions between Interplay and Vivendi Universal in the United States as the series is now fully licensed to VU Games directly by the games' developers, High Voltage Software and the trademark owners, White Wolf Publishing

In addition, VU Games continues to distribute Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance for all console videogame systems in Europe under license from Interplay.

The recent termination of the North American distribution agreement has not affected the relationship in Europe.

VP of Marketing Europe for VU Games Intl., Jon Sloan said: "We continue to service this and other partner business in Europe to the utmost of our abilities. The Baldur's Gate brand is one of the best established in video games and it remains a strong part of our full portfolio of partner products."
