May 17^th, 2002 (12:00am) - May 17, 2002 - Ubi Soft Entertainment, one of the
world’s largest video game publishers, today announced that it has entered
into a publishing agreement under which 1C: Maddox Games will develop new
content for the multi-award winning WWII combat flight simulation title,
IL-2 Sturmovik. IL2-Sturmovik: The Forgotten Battles will include two new
maps for Finland and Hungary, expanding the battlefield for both single and
multiplayer modes. It will also feature more than 20 new single player
missions and ten cooperative multiplayer missions. IL2-Sturmovik: The
Forgotten Battles is expected to ship to retail stores worldwide in Fall
2002.

"The overwhelming success of IL-2 Sturmovik has proved that there is still a
market for great combat simulation titles," said Carl C. Norman, executive
producer at Ubi Soft Entertainment. "This follow up product ties into a
greater strategy that we have created to ensure Ubi Soft’s position as a
driving force in the combat simulation genre for years to come."

"IL-2 Sturmovik was an outstanding success for 1C," said Nikolay
Baryshnikov, international sales director for 1C Maddox Games. "It was
possibly the second Russian game after Tetris that was so highly praised by
gamers and press all around the world and we look forward to producing more
top notch products, starting with IL-2 Sturmovik: The Forgotten Battles this
Fall."

In addition to the new campaigns set on the Finnish and Hungarian fronts and
new single and multiplayer missions, several new playable and AI controlled
Russian, German and British aircraft will be featured in IL-2 Sturmovik: The
Forgotten Battles. Ubi Soft and 1C: Maddox Games are currently considering
adding additional aircraft models created or modified by third parties,
including those created by fans of the game.
