GMX | LONDON, UK (January 25th, 2005) - GMX Media are today announcing the release of Deep Sea Tycoon 2 for PC CD-ROM on May 27th 2005. Sequel to the best selling underwater title Deep Sea Tycoon - a game that submerged a generation of PC gamers in a world of underwater exploration, strategy and humor.

The new adventure begins deep beneath the ocean waves! Sea life thrives as players are given the opportunity to create an underwater paradise of dreams. Swim with the whales, ride the turtles, play with the dolphins and feed the manatees. With so much to do and see, players can literally lose themselves to the hypnotic sounds and dazzling lights in a world of humour and mouth-watering animation!

"We are always keen to support developers who make good games by fully or partially funding further development projects. Pixel after Pixel has created Deep Sea Tycoon 2 due to overwhelming demand from fans of the first in the series," commented COO for GMX Media Eugene Perry. "The original Deep Sea Tycoon was a game that took a lot of people by surprise. It captured the imagination with its original gameplay context and unique atmosphere. Deep Sea Tycoon 2 offers a whole new world to explore for the avid underwater gamer!"

"The sequel is a dream - literally," added producer Tim Whitehurst of Pixel after Pixel. "We wanted to submerge the player in another state of mind, far away from the real world. There's this fun, hypnotic vibe with the way the game looks and sounds. Gameplay is totally stress-free - you can take your time, chill out and just stay in that zone, building on the dream world. More often than not you'll find yourself with your jaw dropped open just looking at this thing. It's a total trip."

New game features:

  • Sea life Galore! Dive into a world of personalities - from thrill seeking humans and playful dolphins to mysterious and majestic whales and other living treasures!

  • Epic underwater adventure - Quest through 30 missions from the Caribbean to Hawaii. Stingray City, Turtle Farm, Whale Dive, Dolphin Rides, Manatee Paradise!

  • Multiple play modes that will keep you immersed for hours, including great Tutorials and starter levels to get your feet wet!
