2nd Gen iPhone Users Emerge From Cryostasis

Nine Pound Studios has announced an update to their critically acclaimed open world RPG, Xenome: Episode 1. They have built in support for 2nd generation iPhone and iPod touch devices, refined the in-game textures, as well as full compatibility for the Multitasking features of iOS4. In order to encourage everyone with a compatible device to purchase the game, Xenome will be on sale for $4.99 until August 16th. Xenome will have players fighting for survival as they unravel the mystery of their own identity within the 5 square miles of seamless post-apocalyptic wasteland.

"It's been no small feat optimizing our truly open-world 3D environment to support older devices, but we're dedicated to making sure everyone can enjoy Xenome" says Steve Tanner, Executive Producer of Nine Pound Studios. "We're excited by all the tremendous feedback we've received and we've also updated the controls, improved all the in-game textures, added view distance settings and fixed a few stability issues on the 3GS. Swipe controls and new missions are coming soon!"

Set in a future where genetic manipulation is key to survival, mangled strands of "XNA" (Xeno Nucleic Acid) have given rise to the bizarrely mutated inhabitants of the Xenome world. As players progress through the feature-rich environment that's both beautiful and deadly, they gather creatures' genetic material to splice their XNA and take on special abilities.


In Episode 1, players are thrown into this fully immersive RPG as "The Scientist" who has just emerged from 250 years of cryostasis at the center of the Silica Flats. Reactivated during the advent of the Union-Prime war, players are able to complete more than 60 missions, choose from over 500 items, and learn powerful abilities as both factions vie for their allegiance.
