Bridging the past with the future
We are excited to present you with the return of Heavy Gear to the gaming world. Heavy Gear and Heavy Gear 2 by Activision were State-of-the-Art and pushed the envelope of what was possible in the late 1990's. Both games paid tribute to the acclaimed and award-winning science-fiction Heavy Gear Universe, created by Dream Pod 9. The original Heavy Gear PC games left a lasting impression on a whole generation of gamers through its action packed game play, cutting edge graphics and deep lore. Heavy Gear Assault will be even better. Built with tomorrow's technology, Heavy Gear Assault will be nothing less than amazing.
Heavy Gear Assault will combine over the top, fast-paced Giant Robot action with all the pageantry and excitement of a World Class Sporting event.
Corporations show off their latest military technologies and sponsor champion Gear duelists. Crowds cheer for their favorite pilots and charge the atmosphere with electricity. The klaxon rings as armored mechanized gladiators charge towards each other with driven determination. Players are thrusted into the cockpit of their Heavy Gears and are immersed in the unforgiving, high-stakes gladiatorial battles in the dueling arenas of Khayr ad-Din for fame and fortune. Players will feel the adrenaline and pulse-quickening energy of this popular Terra Nova Sport.
