Hail, Adventurers! "Vanguard: Saga Of Heroes(TM)" Voyages into Retail Stores Today

San Dego, CA - January 30, 2007 - Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) and Sigil Games Online announced today that the hotly anticipated massively multiplayer online role-playing game, "Vanguard: Saga of Heroes(TM)," is now available at retail outlets across North America and Europe. The game is also offered for digital download at www.station.com.

"From day one, 'Vanguard' was created with the vision of developing an MMO with an unparalleled feeling of immersion," said Brad McQuaid, CEO of Sigil Games Online. "To accomplish this, we included innovative features that break the shackles of the traditional MMO experience. Our diplomacy system, for example, is one of many original concepts we employed to invigorate the MMO game play experience."

"Vanguard: Saga of Heroes" features stunning environments reminiscent of classic fantasy oil paintings, as well as three fully-developed layers of gameplay (diplomacy, adventuring and crafting), along with a comprehensive character creation tool. Three vast continents are available for exploration, and players will enjoy a fully immersive experience as they delve into new lands riddled with powerful items, dangerous enemies, and boundless adventure. As players reach higher levels, they can traverse the world freely on flying dragons, voyaging across far-reaching lands in a breathtaking, non-instanced world.

"Vanguard's beauty coupled with the sheer size and scale of the world is like nothing else experienced in today's games. It's poised to make a significant contribution to the genre, which is one of many reasons SOE is looking forward to adding this exciting title to our line up of games included in the all-in-one Station Access(TM) subscription package," Laura Naviaux, Sr. Brand Manager, Sony Online Entertainment.
