Konami Ships Rengoku 2 to Retail Outlets

Best-Selling Action Series Returns to the PSP System with More Weapons, Expanded Multiplayer Modes and Downloadable Content

Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today announced Rengoku 2 has shipped to retail outlets throughout North America for the PSP. Rengoku 2, sequel to the best-selling Rengoku: The Tower of Purgatory, expands upon the series’ trademark fast-paced action and incredible replay value with more than 300 unique weapons, loads of downloadable content, diverse level design and innovative multiplayer functionality.

With an intense storyline and exciting game play, Rengoku 2 parallels the events of Tower of Purgatory. Playing as A.D.A.M., a battle android trapped in a mysterious tower filled with fearsome enemies, gamers must purge this tower of the mechanical scourge hosted inside, complete with floors that correspond to original Seven Deadly Sins.

To successfully demolish this tower, players can utilize the game’s high-tech arsenal of firearms, explosives and melee weapons to defeat the horde of enemies that oppose them. Players can customize A.D.A.M. with rare and unique items and weapons from fallen enemies, creating a fighting machine that best suits their style of play.

Rengoku 2 features breathtaking graphics and environments designed by renowned visualist Jun Suemi that take the player deep into the bleak, industrial world that A.D.A.M. has sworn to protect. While scouring the depths of the tower, visual clues keep gamers in the sweet spot of action while allowing them to progress to the next battle.

Boasting several new multiplayer modes, Rengoku 2 allows up to four players to engage in competitive combat through the PSP system’s ad-hoc wireless functionality. Players can also wirelessly share portions of the game with other PSP systems in order to play with friends that do not own the game. Maps and weapons are available for download through the PSP system’s infrastructure mode, letting players continue A.D.A.M.’s quest in new environments with additional equipment.

Developed by Hudson Soft, Rengoku 2 is rated “T” for teen by the ESRB, and carries a suggested retail price of $39.99. For more information on the game, please visit www.konami.com/gs.
