HIP HIP Hooray!

Hip Interactive today announced that its European subsidiary, Hip Interactive Europe, has been named the exclusive distributor in Europe for Dark Age of Camelot, the extension to Europe's number one Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game with 180,000 registered users.

Fans have eagerly been awaiting the extension, which will offer not only some brand new features, but also some entire new locations to explore for the three kingdoms of Hibernia, Midgard and Albion. In addition, thanks to servers in five European languages, gamers will be able to enjoy the massively multiplayer experience in their native tongues: English, French, German, Spanish and Italian. Due to hit European shelves at the end of March 2005, Dark Age of Camelot is currently the only game to offer such a multi-language feature to online gamers.

"We are extremely excited by this partnership with Wanadoo which will offer the fascinating world of Dark Age of Camelot to gamers throughout Europe," said Arindra Singh, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hip Interactive. "This agreement also demonstrates how we have grown in Europe, not only as a publisher, but also as a distributor."

Dark Age of Camelot: Catacombs is only playable online with the original game "Dark Age of Camelot"and its two expansions "Shrouded Isles" and "Trials of Atlantis" as well as a subscription.
