War of the Roses and The Showdown Effect Coming to Boston, All Bloodied Knights and 80’s Action Hero One-Liners Welcome

NEW YORK - March 26, 2012 –
Paradox Interactive today announced that they will be making their first-ever appearance at PAX East this year. Promising to make it a memorable event, Paradox Interactive is not holding back, bringing a selection of their best upcoming titles to PAX East, including medieval multiplayer massacre-er War of the Roses and The Showdown Effect, the next project from the same humorous masochists behind Magicka.

Paradox Interactive will also be waging a war of their own on the show floor, challenging anyone who thinks they are man (or woman!) enough to step up and take them down in a battle to the death. Wait – we don’t mean physically; please put your shirt back on, we’re talking about War of the Roses. Come by booth #368, join either the house of Lancaster or York, and let your steel speak for itself; it may be the last time.

War of the Roses - Travel back to the 15th century in War of the Roses and partake in England’s bloodiest civil war. Offering a unique third-person melee combat experience, War of the Roses allows players to select from 60 weapon types to pulverize their opponents whichever way they can in this epic and gritty multiplayer title. Featuring team-based objectives as well as gruesome PVP opportunities (a.k.a. executions), War of the Roses will deliver a truly immersive experience to those thirsting for a new online challenge.

The Showdown Effect - The Showdown Effect is the latest title from acclaimed developers Arrowhead Game Studios, where players will enter a sidescrolling 2.5D world and battle opponents to the death by taking on the role of their favorite action movie archetypes. Become a cliché action star and duke it out with other Rambos, retired cops, and that one guy who “lost his identity” by using a variety of weaponry and hundreds of customizable options to creatively kill your friends. And, of course, warm up your best catchphrases and be ready to quip with the best of them!

Actually, Chris King from the Paradox Development Studio will be there all show. On Sunday he is also participating in a panel discussion about Strategy games and the future of the genre.

Not sure if anyone is recording it officially but I'm sure there will be media there to cover it. We'll try to help find links.

Very interested to see what's said about the future of the genre. I was lucky enough to talk to King in person about this stuff in January, and anyone whose interested should tune in. He knows his stuff and discusses it passionately.

They will surely do better than Bioware. DA2 and ME3, I feel sorry for Bioware's panel.

I wish I still lived in Massachusettes.

I am quite looking forward to our Panel. Troy and Rob I know quite well and have been on their Podcast (Three Moves Ahead) and Julian is a regular on that show and someone I enjoy listening to. I met Jon Shaffer met at GDC Europe a few years back, he was pretty cool to hang around with. The only person I don't know much about is Rob Daviau but it will be interesting to hear from the boardgame end of the spectrum. All in all it looks quite a meaty panel if you are a strategy game fan.

Edit: For those who are wondering, I am up this early because I am catching a plane to Boston today.

Driving in Boston is a pain. In/out the city is better now though since the Big Dig (barely). Make sure to take a GPS with you (unless you are taking the T/streetcars/taxi/limo)

I wish I'd graduate soon so I can move back to MA. I like it better than California (heresy, I know, but I do like Boston better).

I wonder if there will be recordings?

Anyway, have fun in Boston. :)

Tons of fun places to visit around there. Mayflower, Lexington & Concord, Kennedy Museum, there's a great Art and Science Museum there, and if you want tax free stuff, New Hampshire isn't that far away (used to live near border between MA and NH).

Oh very cool! Now I really want to hear the panel. (Been a fan of Three Moves Ahead since I discovered them about six months ago.)

Down at the hall right now helping with the set ups (just testing the internet on this PC honest gov). Looking forward to an early night because it has been a long day.

The event went well, I survived the discussion panel and hopefuly we will be able to tell you soon about a broadcast (for a better word) of a recording of the show.

Edit: Got a confirmation here, that the discussion panel will form an episode of the Three Moves Ahead podcast. So keep your eyes peeled for more news.
