San Francisco, CA  (September 18, 2003)– Eidos Inc (NASDAQ: EIDSY), one of the world's leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, along with Disney Interactive, today announced the development of Disney’s 101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure for the PlayStationâ game console.

 

Disney’s 101 Dalmatians II: Patch’s London Adventure is a single-player game in which you play as “Patch,” a Dalmatian puppy who wants to be more than just “one of the 101.” After accidentally being left behind when the whole Dalmatian family moves from the city to the country, Patch sets out to find his TV hero “Thunderbolt” to help him learn how to become a hero. Patch’s goal is to find and ultimately save his Dalmatian puppy brothers and sisters that have fallen into the clutches of the dastardly Cruella De Vil. 

 

“Walt Disney’s 101 Dalmatians has been a successful and popular franchise for many years. Eidos is delighted to be able to add another dimension of fun to the 101 Dalmatians universe with 101 Dalmatians II: Patch’s London Adventure for the PlayStation.” said Renee Pletka, Product Manager, Eidos Interactive.

 

In this new 101 Dalmatians adventure, players outwit enemies, solve puzzles, perform heroic acts, explore different environments including London’s city streets, parks and surrounding countryside, and ultimately free all of the puppy siblings without getting caught by Cruella De Vil and her henchmen.

 

101 Dalmatians II: Patch’s London Adventure is scheduled for a North American release this Fall.
