Bethesda Softworks Announces Rogue Warrior™ Now Available

Game Based on the Novels by Richard “Demo Dick” Marcinko
Features the Voice of Oscar-nominated Actor, Mickey Rourke

December 1, 2009 (Rockville, MD) – Bethesda Softworks®, a ZeniMax® Media company, announced today that Rogue Warrior^TM is now available in North American retail stores for the Xbox 360^® video game entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, and Games for Windows. Experience an action-packed single-player campaign as well as intense multiplayer combat playing as the real-life Navy SEAL and founder of the elite SEAL Team Six, Richard “Demo Dick” Marcinko.

Featuring the voice of Golden Globe winner and Oscar nominee, Mickey Rourke, Rogue Warrior was inspired by Marcinko’s New York Times bestseller of the same name and his subsequent novels based loosely on his own past military experiences. Marcinko’s defiant, crude, and sometimes ruthless behavior has earned him both glory and infamy in the history books.

You Don't Mess with the Zohan*

Take on his explosive nature as you engage in black ops and go against the rules of conventional warfare to get the job done!  With more than 25 uniquely brutal kill moves, Rogue Warrior challenges you to do whatever it takes to eliminate the enemy. No trick is too dirty as you maintain the element of surprise whenever possible – find and kill the enemy before they find you.

Go head-to-head against others online or go it alone to disrupt a suspected North Korean ballistic missile program. Soon into the single player campaign you uncover a conspiracy that could turn the tides of the Cold War in the communists’ favor and change the balance of geopolitical power. You must then take the mission into your own hands as you enter into the USSR, leaving a trail of destruction in your wake!

No Russian? I see one right there!

*I made a funny…Dick Marcinko looks an awful lot like Paul Mitchell (of hair salon fame). Paul Mitchell was in “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan” with Adam Sandler, who plays an ex-military bad-ass. I don’t really care about the other 3 or 4 degrees of separation between Marcinko and Kevin Bacon.
