News: 20-April-1999: Hyperion signs deal with Monolith for Amiga and Mac versions of "Shogo: Mobile Armor Division"
Hyperion is pleased to announce that it has acquired the rights from Monolith to port "Shogo", the highly acclaimed PC game, to the Amiga and Mac.
Shogo is a high-end 3D shooter with anime/manga (Japanese cartoons) elements and is based on the LithTechTM engine developed by Monolith.
As part of the deal with Monolith, Hyperion will port the LithTechTM engine, which is the most advanced 3D game engine around, to the Amiga for future licensing by Monolith.
Shogo will require a PPC equipped Amiga (WarpOS) and will take full advantage of 3D accelerators through Warp3D. No release date has been set yet but it is likely this will be 3rd quarter of 1999.
The Hyperion team consists of Thomas and Hans-Joerg Frieden (Warp 3D co-authors), Christian Sauer who was involved with various projects like "Descent", and others.
Hyperion is a newly founded Belgian-German software company dedicated to bringing high-end PC titles to PPC equipped Amigas.
