Tripwire Interactive is proud to announce that we will be publishing the ACE Team’s stunning first-person fighting game, Zeno Clash, in North American retail stores. Zeno Clash is set in a fantasy universe with game play focused on melee combat and the use of some unique ranged weapons, from crossbows to fantasy firearms. The game includes a full single player campaign with 18 levels, a challenge mode with 8 levels where players can compete through a leaderboard and an optional model pack download for use in Garry’s Mod. The game will be available in stores across the USA and Canada soon.

Zeno Clash has been nominated for awards from the Independent Games Festival and Indiecade, as well as achieving high praise from the critics:

“A completely welcome contrast to anything you've ever played, supported by the most intense first-person fisticuffs we've seen in a game” – PC Gamer

“Zeno Clash sticks with you long after you play it, and that's a compliment many games aspire to have associated with them.” – IGN

“This is melee done right, set in an astonishing world, brimming with imagination.” – Edge Magazine

Alan Wilson, Vice-President of Tripwire Interactive, said: “Zeno Clash is one of those truly stand-out games that we are really proud to be associated with and to have as our first third-party title to publish. The game is genuinely memorable and has the best melee combat mechanics we’ve ever seen. What makes this deal even more memorable for us, is the fact that the ACE Team’s history parallels our own – an ex-mod team that has funded themselves and succeeded in developing and releasing a great first title.”

Andres Bordeu, cofounder of ACE Team said: “We’re thrilled to have reached this publishing opportunity with Tripwire Interactive. Tripwire is a company that we greatly admire and identify with, and we’re very happy that they chose Zeno Clash to be their first third-party title. We’re certain that our game is in great hands and we’re excited about finally reaching the retail market in the US and Canada.”
