September 19, 2000

Activision announced today that it has acquired the North American publishing rights for Sony's action-adventure flying game, Sky Odyssey for the PlayStation2. Sky Odyssey, which will launch with the first wave of titles for the PS2, joins Orphen: Scion of Sorcery as one of Activision's titles for the new platform.

The game challenges players to complete a variety of missions that include such feats as refueling while atop a speeding train to landing on aircraft-carriers on the open seas in over 40 missions.

"We are proud to continue our association with Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc. with Sky Odyssey. The title will be one of the handful of games available for new PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system during the holiday season," said, Ron Doornink, president and COO, Activision, Inc. "Sky Odyssey takes full advantage of the hardware's advanced technological and graphics capabilities, and is the only true flight game for the new platform."

As they complete the missions, gamers will be retrieving missing pieces to an ancient map; the completed map will lead to the game's final destination. Players will take the controls of more than 10 different types of aircraft, including several hidden ones. Each of the aircraft has its own distinct handling. The game rewards players for increasing their flying skills by allowing them to win performance-enhancing upgrades and fully customize their aircraft's appearance and flight dynamics.

Sky Odyssey has five different gameplay modes -- Adventure Mode, Free Flight, Sky Canvas, Target Mode. and Training Mode. In Sky Canvas Mode, players use a smoke generator to draw pictures in the sky, while in Target Mode they practice their accuracy by flying through targets suspended in the air.
