Jolt Gets Savaged Again

Leading GSP named official UK server provider for online FPS/strategy sequel

London - 14th February 2008 - Jolt Online Gaming, Europe's largest independent online gaming network, is pleased to announce its status as the official UK server provider for recently launched strategy FPS Savage 2: A Tortured Soul. The deal follows Jolt's earlier success in providing blistering fast server technology for the original game.

Sequel to the critically acclaimed Savage: The Battle of Newerth, the independently developed Savage 2 takes the original fusion concept of combining an online first-person shooter with a multiplayer real-time strategy to even greater heights. For a one-off flat fee of $29.99, players can join a clan, participate in large scale semi-persistent battles and take control of a wide array of devastating units.

Thanks to Jolt's cutting edge server technology, players in Europe and further afield will benefit from the fastest, most lag free online experience possible when playing on Jolt's branded servers.

"It's a pleasure to be working with S2 Games again," said Dominic Silk, Jolt's CEO, "Savage 2 is a truly innovative and rewarding multiplayer game and one we're really happy to be providing support for."

"We're delighted to be calling Jolt the official UK server provider for Savage 2," said Shawn Tooley, S2 Games' CTO, "Their passion, expertise and technical capability make them the best choice for the job."

About Savage 2: A Tortured Soul

Savage 2: A Tortured Soul is the sequel to the critically acclaimed online multiplayer game Savage: A Battle for Newerth, which introduced gamers to the completely new Real Time Strategy Shooter (RTSS) gaming genre. Savage enabled players to opt for either the fast-paced, run-and-gun action of a first-person shooter (FPS) game - playing as a Warrior - or the more cerebral and tactical planning of a real-time strategy (RTS) game - playing as a Commander - working together as a team to defeat the enemy. Savage 2: A Tortured Soul builds upon the addicting, fast-paced gameplay of the original with additional squad-based features and enhanced role-playing game (RPG) elements which enable players to build their character level and abilities throughout the game.
