Akaei PLC, the AIM listed Games Publisher, can today announce that they have acquired the UK distribution rights to "Earth 2150 – Lost Souls".

This title follows in the same series as "Earth 2150 – Escape from the Blue Planet", which was globally acclaimed and received several awards within the gaming community. This previous AAA title, published by Mindscape, sold 37,000 units (figures from European Leisure Software Publishers Association LTD).

The agreement marks the formation of a new relationship with Polish development studio Reality Pump, whose previous releases include the highly successful World War Three and Knights and Merchants. This association was brought about by Zuxxez Entertainment, acting as agents for Reality Pump and based in Germany.

Rod Cobain, Managing Director at Akaei said today: "Akaei are thrilled to be distributing this anticipated title throughout the United Kingdom. We are particularly pleased to be working alongside Reality Pump and look forward to generating further distribution deals through our relationship with Zuxxez Entertainment."

"Earth 2150 – Lost Souls" is due for release in Autumn 2002.
