Toronto, Canada - September 28, 2005 - DreamCatcher Games, a global publisher of interactive entertainment, today announced that the company’s highly anticipated stealth action game "Cold War" has been released in North America for PC and Xbox.

“'Cold War' will put gamers at the edge of their seat, as stealth and action fans are thrown into a world of secret gadgets and classified documents as they find themselves alone to prevent a potential international conspiracy,” commented Product Manager, Byron Gaum. “With its original setting and premise, 'Cold War' is slated to become one of the sleeper hits of the year.”

Rated “T” for Teen by the ESRB, "Cold War" follows the story of Matt Carter, an American freelance journalist, who finds himself in the midst of an international conspiracy that aims to take control of the U.S.S.R. Twelve hours after arriving in Moscow for a routine story, Carter is stripped of all his possessions, beaten unconscious and thrown into the KGB’s political prison. Using only recovered weapons and improvised gadgets, he must now evade and overcome elite Soviet forces and defeat the conspiracy before he is sent to a Siberian prison camp or killed.

* Strong espionage/stealth gameplay – including gadgets like the powerful and deadly X-ray camera that allows you to spy on your enemies through walls and destroy explosive objects.
* Powerful and widely-recognized setting - mid-1980’s U.S.S.R.
