today. The game is scheduled to reach retailers nationwide by September 30.

"The thoughtful development and diligence of our team is realized in a physical
product, and that's exciting," said Jessica Orr, product manager for Fallen
Earth. "We are pleased to add another avenue of purchase for our fans in
conjunction with our existing digital sales."
Fallen Earth combines the accuracy of first-person shooter style games with the
depth and character advancement of a role-playing game. The game features a
classless advancement system, a real-time crafting system in which players can
make 95 percent of in game items, six unique factions, 70 towns and more than
1,000 square kilometers of zoneless territory to explore. Set in 2156 after the
deadly Shiva virus and nuclear holocaust devastated the Earth, survivors are
left with the choice to rebuild civilization and rise above the destruction or
to embrace the chaos and tear down what's left of the old world.
Fans can gain immediate access to the game today by digitally downloading
through Direct2Drive, Steam and the Fallen Earth store. All purchases offer a
