Irvine, Calif. – May 12, 2010 – Irvine, Calif. – May 12, 2010 – GamersFirst, today’s most popular Free2Play online game destination, today announced the open beta of Sword 2; developed by imcGAMES. Sword 2 will be GamersFirst’s 12th Free2Play MMO title.

Sword 2 revolutionizes online gaming by blending real-time strategy with traditional role playing game (RPG) play in a massively multiplayer online world. Delve into visually stunning landscapes featuring fantastic, Baroque architecture inspired by Europe’s exploration of the Americas. Set out as a pioneer and explore Granado Espada; band together with friends to capture and defend colonies through-out the New World; or defeat vicious foes in thrilling twelve player raids. Sword 2 offers action for all!

“We kept the development of Sword 2 somewhat secret.” says Joe Rush, Director of Game Operations at GamersFirst. “We are thrilled to finally be able to offer Sword 2 to our community. It has been difficult to keep Sword 2 under wraps with the internal excitement from the production team at GamersFirst; we are very eager and excited to unveil our newest MMORPG!”

GamersFirst will be publishing Sword 2 in North America, the United Kingdom and Germany. Sword 2 is expected to launch commercially in Summer 2010. To participate in the open beta of Sword 2, visit www.GamersFirst.com/Sword2
