Today, at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, Hi-Rez Studios announced that Tribes: Ascend will be released on April 12, 2012. In support of this announcement, a parody trailer was released: "Tribes Ascend - Llama Island."
"Tribes is all about speed and movement," explains Todd Harris, Hi-Rez Studios Chief Operating Officer. "In fact the community uses the term llama to refer to a player moving too slowly, like a plodding llama. So this video demonstrates the perils of trying to capture a flag while going too slow. The outcome is predictable but no less tragic."
Tribes: Ascend is a free-to-play shooter for PC with unlockable classes, weapons, skills, and perks with servers across North America, Europe, and Australia. The sci-fi shooter is currently in open beta with 400,000 players participating; head over to www.tribesascend.com to register and download!
