EA RISK: Factions Based On Hasbro RISK Coming To Xbox LIVE Arcade

Jan 12 2010, 12:51am CST | by Luigi Lugmayr

The EA Play Label of Electronic Arts announced that it is bringing Hasbro's globally popular strategy game, RISK, to Xbox LIVE Arcade (XBLA) in early 2010.
Featuring outlandish factions, a unique art style, new gameplay twists and off-beat humor, RISK: Factions promises to challenge and captivate both new and seasoned RISK fans on their quest for world domination.

Developed by Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers studio Stainless Games and featuring cinematics from veteran animation studio Power House Animation, RISK: Factions will offer innovative ways of experiencing the timeless turn-based board game in both objective-based and world conquest modes. Players will be able to engage as one of five playable factions, each with different strengths, as they wage war on new maps with dynamic terrain in their quest for missile silos in order to strategically dominate the game.

Additionally, as rivals go head-to-head during unique, animated combat missions, enemies will be able to trigger “Overkill” moments, based on the roll of the dice, and unlock avatar awards while attempting global supremacy. With a new animated art style, kooky humor and a choice of five oddball factions, RISK: Factions is sure to offer something for veteran RISK strategists and newcomers alike.

RISK was also my favorite game as a teenager. RISK: Factions could become a huge hit on Xbox Live.
