GSC Game World a leading East-European computer game developer and publisher announces its titles to be presented at the upcoming E3 trade show in Los Angeles. The two titles, currently under development at GSC are to be on display during the expo from May 10-12.

Heroes of Annihilated Empires
Heroes of Annihilated Empires is going to be for the first time demonstrated publicly in North America. The presentation of the latest game build will be held throughout the entire show at the booth of CDV (the North-American distributor for the game) in Kentia hall booth #7007.

This trilogy game is a unique opposition of two popular genres – a real-time strategy and a role-playing game. Heroes of Annihilated Empires episode one is set in a distant epoch yet unexplored by mankind when our planet was inhabited by fairy creatures abounding present-day legends and fantasy novels. The gameplay allows winning the game by favoring one of the two full-fledged genres - RTS or RPG, so as blending them. The player can build settlements, recruit armies of many thousands units or develop a single hero and make him strong enough to oppose entire armies alone. The game storyline is created by Ilya Novak awarded the best European debutant author at Eurocon 2005 (Glasgow). All the storyline twists are described in detail in the five novels by Ilya Novak, to be released alongside the game.
