Available as a free app via the App Store and Android Marketplace, Valiant’s action-packed, retro-styled sidescroller gives users the ability to control Bloodshot or Harbinger‘s Peter Stanchek as they fight their way out of a classified Project Rising Spirit compound and directly into the crosshairs of an epic superhuman showdown on the Vegas Strip.
“With Harbinger Wars: Battle for Las Vegas, we were very much trying to create a throwback to the greatest games of the late 80s and early 90s, and our partners at Storm City and Gameshastra have managed to strike the perfect balance between nostalgia and cutting-edge mobile utility,” said Russell A. Brown, Valiant’s President of Consumer Products, Promotions and Ad Sales. “A cross-promotion like this has never before been attempted by a major comics publisher, and it’s our hope that it gets fans and retailers all the more excited for the exciting storytelling that Valiant has in the offing with Harbinger Wars.””Everything that we do starts with producing the best, most accessible comics we can and Harbinger Wars: Battle for Las Vegas is an extension of that philosophy,” said Valiant CEO and Chief Creative Officer Dinesh Shamdasani. “This free mobile game will let fans engage with the story behind Harbinger Wars firsthand, and we’ve already seen new readers get excited about the game and jump on board the comics.”The game will unfold in sync with the comics, as new levels are released for download, timed with the release of stories from the 12-issue crossover series that includes Harbinger, Bloodshot and a Harbinger Wars miniseries at its heart. May 4 will also see the release of a Harbinger Wars sneak peek in Valiant’s Free Comic Book Day offering.
