Press Release

Haarlem, The Netherlands –12 November – Leading videogame publisher Iceberg Interactive and game developer Darkling Room have agreed to extend rights on various Dark Fall products published by Iceberg Interactive.

The highly anticipated Dark Fall: Lost Souls will now be published worldwide by Iceberg Interactive rather than just in Europe. That being said, no retail version is planned for North-America, but the many overseas fans of the Boakes games will be able to purchase Lost Souls via the Iceberg Shop (gone live yesterday, open for pre-order) or via electronic download.

Parties also agreed that Iceberg will publish the Lost Souls predecessor Dark Fall: Lights Out The Director’s Cut worldwide instead of just in the UK. The same goes for Adventures in Terror – British Horror Collection, in conjunction with Shadow Tor Studios. Adventures in Terror is a deluxe re-mastered collection consisting of Barrow Hill, Dark Fall: The Journal and Lights Out, as well as the original soundtrack CD of all games.

Iceberg Interactive CEO Erik Schreuder said: “We are extremely pleased to be able to sell the Dark Fall games worldwide and look forward to launching them before the year ends.” On the release date of Lost Souls he also shared the following information: “Jonathan is currently still finishing up the game. He intends for Lost Souls to be the final Dark Fall game in the series and wants to tie up all loose ends, hence why it is taking slightly longer to conclude. Rest assured that it will come this year though.”

The Lost Souls’s retail release date has now been put forward by Iceberg to December 4th 2009, however it may very well be that direct download versions will be available sooner than that.

Dark Fall: Lost Souls
The dead are waiting. They have stories to tell. Tales of darkness, loneliness and despair. Be careful you do not join them, as it could be an eternity until the next curious visitor opens that old, rotten door, to find you within. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. What tale would you tell? Would you know how to explain what happened, that dark night when your curiosity got the better of you? Would you be able to speak its name... the ancient name... or would you simply warn the new arrival to beware... to beware the Dark Fall.
