Special Events Along With All-New Features and In-Game Items All Part of the Launch Festivities at http://crossfire.subagames.com/

G4BOX Inc. and Wicked Interactive Ltd., North American publishers and distributors of interactive entertainment media, together announced yesterday that SubaGames.com’s free military FPS Cross Fire has now officially gone live and is available to download for free at: http://crossfire.subagames.com.

The Cross Fire Official Launch is marked by a substantial update to the game which includes, three new game modes (including the long-awaited “Free For All” deathmatch and the knives-only battle-arena), playable female characters, and ranked clan matches on a dedicated server. In addition, the official launch will introduce loads of new in-game weapons, items, and accessories. Cross Fire officially went live at 1:00 AM on Thursday April 16th, 2009. The launch is also supported by an in-game event that allows players to earn extra experience for a limited time in order to level-up faster.

“Since Cross Fire went into open beta earlier this year we have built a dedicated community of players,” said Garvin Yeung, Chief Executive Office of Wicked Interactive. “We have worked hard on all the new content included in the official launch version of Cross Fire,” added Howard He, Chief Executive Officer of G4BOX, “We know Cross Fire veterans and new players alike will be able to find something new they can enjoy.”

Cross Fire is an online military first-person shooter for the PC, developed by SmileGate and Neowiz, and co-published by G4BOX and Wicked Interactive. Players assume the role of either a Black List or Global Risk mercenary, and then join an online team that must work together to complete objective-based scenarios. Cross Fire’s flagship feature is its “Ghost Mode”, which puts one team in possession of top-secret cloaking technology, rendering them invisible to the opposing team. This team of “ghosts” is armed only with knives, and must stealthily track and hunt the enemy team. This mode is exclusive to Cross Fire and no other mode exists quite like it in any other first-person shooter.

Additionally, G4BOX games and SUBA Games properties now share a unified currency and community space. While the games have merged onto one platform, G4BOX and Wicked Interactive remain separate corporate entities.

“We are excited to welcome these two G4BOX properties into the SUBA Games library of titles,” said Stanley Yu, Chief Executive Officer of Wicked Interactive. “The SUBA Games platform maintains an impressive lineup of MMORPGs to which we feel Metin2 and Cross Fire are worthy additions,” added Howard He, Chief Executive Officer of G4BOX.

Current Metin2 users should be able to continue playing during the platform switch and site re-launch, though they may experience some minimal downtime. Both the Metin2 and Cross Fire websites and forums will be down on Friday December 19, 2008 from 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM EST while the games are moved to the SUBA Games portal. The SUBA Games portal itself will experience similar downtime.

G4BOX’s Cross Fire (now located at http://crossfire.subagames.com) will continue its closed beta test throughout the holiday season with an open beta launch expected on SUBA Games in early 2009. SUBA Games players will gain access to the closed beta test following its move to the SUBA Games platform.
