Left Behind Games Brings Apocalypse to the PC

Posted on July 11, 2005

Left Behind Games was founded on October 23, 2001 to develop video games based upon the Left Behind series of books by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. The first game in the series, Left Behind: Eternal Forces, is an apocalyptic PC strategy game that will be released this November, according to the website at leftbehindgames.com.

Left Behind: Eternal Forces will put players in command of apocalyptic battles raging in the streets of New York City between the angelic Tribulation Forces and the demonic Global Community Peacekeepers during the End of Days. Gamers will participate in events from the Left Behind book series in single player mode and battle to capture territory from other players in the multi-player online game mode.

Left Behind Games (LBG) says they will offer E and T rated games that are fun withoutthe sexual themes and gratuitous violence that is found in some games currently on the market.

LBG intends to develop games so as to include the same types of elements that have made interactive games popular for years and yet offer a less graphic experience to the sexual themes and gratuitous violence currently found in many games. We plan to make all games visually and kinetically appealing. We anticipate that the games will be classified as both action and adventure and will receive either an "E" rating (appropriate for ages 6 and up) or a "T" rating (appropriate for ages 13 and up).

Over 60 million Left Behind books have been sold and the series has been translated into more than 30 languages. The video games will only need to capture a portion of that popularity to be successful.
