UK-based video games publisher Reef Entertainment has agreed an exclusive deal with UK developer Rebellion to launch their 2000 AD character Rogue Trooper video game worldwide on Wii.

Based on the acclaimed Rogue Trooper video game for PS2, Xbox and PC, Rogue Trooper: The Quartz Zone Massacre is the story of how Rogue Trooper, a genetically engineered soldier of the future, and his comrades are betrayed by a traitor general on a mission to an area on Nu Earth known as the Quartz Zone. Only Rogue survives, but the personalities and abilities of his fallen comrades live on through biochips installed in his equipment.

Reef says the Wii version will provide a greater immersive experience thanks to unique Wii controls, making kill shots more accurate and more creative than in the previously released versions. Rebellion is also said to have performed additional tweaks and polish to the overall game, ensuring the Wii edition will be the best yet.

Peter Rezon, CEO of Reef said: “Rogue Trooper: The Quartz Zone Massacre is one of the best games Reef has been involved with, and to win this contract for the Wii version is fantastic. Were taking a hit game to a unique console where we believe the exciting elements we’ve added will make this 3rd shooter a hugely successful Wii title.”

Rogue Trooper: The Quartz Zone Massacre is scheduled for release in Q4 2008.
