Haarlem, The Netherlands – 22 April 2010 – A boxed version of Global Agenda, the award-winning Shooter/MMO from Atlanta-based Hi-Rez Studios, is coming to retail outlets in Europe later this year, courtesy of premier videogame publisher Iceberg Interactive.

After a highly successful digital-only  release on Steam in February 2010, Iceberg and Hi-Rez have decided to make the game available in stores throughout Europe. Logos and images can be downloaded via this link.

The English-language European Retail release is planned for early September 2010, with a German release following shortly thereafter. The release will include Global Agenda's upcoming Sandstorm expansion pack, as well as other previously unreleased content, introducing a wide array of new devices, weapons and content into the game, including Open PvE zones and a large-scale PvP Warzone featuring 64-player battles.

Global Agenda operates London-based servers today to support its European customers. The game's unique single-shard server design allows all customers worldwide to compete inside the same game universe, with the ability to play with or against anyone, while at the same time having the freedom to choose a Region/Data Center (North America, Europe or Pacific Rim) from which to load mission instances. Players interested in buying the game through digital distribution may still do so through Steam.
