Cologne, Germany - August 3, 2007 - Black Inc., the newly founded publishing label of RTL Games as of August 1st, is prepared to impress core gamers everywhere with their first major game offering. The real-time strategy game WorldShift for PC will be the launch title for Black Inc. next year, after which RTL Games will continue to publish further titles under the Black Inc. label. To this end, the company has been working with renowned developers like Black Sea Studios from Sofia (Bulgaria), who are currently working tirelessly on the new title. WorldShift, an online-based next-gen real-time strategy game with a cyber/fantasy setting, will contain a groundbreaking new artifact system and powerful community features in order to create a unique gameplay experience.

"I'm convinced that WorldShift will succeed in demonstrating to core gamers our commitment to quality right from the beginning. The game will serve as a prelude to our new Black Inc. product portfolio, which we intend to strengthen rapidly with further exciting titles."
