Sega Plans 3D Games for Blockbusters

Sega Europe and Sega of America announced that its games “Thor: God of Thunder” and “Captain America: Super Soldier” will feature 3D graphics on Xbox 360 and PlayStation3. The games are scheduled to hit stores this spring and summer.



Additionally, both games will be coming to the Nintendo 3DS system later in the year as an immersive new handheld 3D experience. The games, which feature original third-person adventures written in conjunction with Marvel scribes, will be available in 2D at launch on the Wii system and Nintendo DS handheld system.

“Playing as Captain America with bullets whizzing past in stereoscopic 3D and having a titanic Frost Giant charge straight at you in Thor will bring an unprecedented level of adrenaline to the gameplay experience,” says Gary Knight, senior vice president of marketing at Sega Europe and Sega of America. “When you combine the triple threat of epic gameplay, hall of fame franchises from Marvel, and outstanding 3D visuals, it’s clear that ‘Thor: God of Thunder’ and ‘Captain America: Super Soldier’ comprise a new class of Super Hero game.”
