PRESS RELEASE
Ghosts of War Haunt The Mandate
New gameplay trailer released featuring Laurence Olivier Award winning actor David Bradley as the voice of Lord High Admiral Suvarov |http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1964463742/the-mandate
19 November 2013 – California, USA/… Perihelion Interactive today released a new gameplay trailer from The Mandate, the six-player, cooperative, sandbox sci-fi RPG, planned for release Q1 2015 on Windows, Mac and Linux.
Called ‘Ghosts’, the trailer reveals the innermost thoughts of Lord High Admiral Suvarov, commander of the Grand Fleet, as he reflects on the those who have fallen in battle under his command… and those that will inevitably fall in the future.
The trailer has been created entirely from the in-game Unity engine and features acclaimed actor of stage and screen David Bradley (“Game of Thrones”, “Doctor Who”, “Harry Potter”) voicing the role of Suvarov. Watch the trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_phtOt14Do
Bradley is internationally recognised for his roles in blockbuster movies such as “The World’s End”, “Captain America: The First Avenger”, and as Hogwarts caretaker Flich in the Harry Potter series. Winning multiple awards for his stage work, Bradley has also played key roles in several successful TV series, most recently in the role of Walder Frey in “Game of Thrones” and William Hartnell/Doctor Who in “An Adventure in Space and Time”.
“I’m delighted to be working with the team at Perihelion Interactive to breathe life into the character of Suvarov,” said Bradley. “The Mandate is my first foray into the world of videogames, and I’m fascinated to see how my vocal performance is realised within the game.”
The Mandate has raised over $295,000 of its initial Kickstarter funding target of $500,000, and recently announced a series of stretch goals that will add further content to an already feature-packed release.
Perihelion will also be hosting an R/Games discussion for The Mandate on Reddit on Wednesday 20 November from 5pm EST (11pm CET, 10pm UK). Fans are invited to submit questions live to The Mandate team on anything to do with the Tsarist space opera RPG.

About The Mandate
The Mandate is a six-player, cooperative, sandbox sci-fi RPG, planned for release Q1 2015 on Windows, Mac and Linux. Set in a dystopian future controlled by a Russian Empire inspired by the Tsars of history, you take on the role of a captain at the helm of an evolving, dynamic ship that a crew of hundreds call home. As captain, you’ll command a crew of officers selected and honed by you, taking them into epic space battles, boarding operations and galaxy exploration. Whilst epic in scale, The Mandate takes the concept of sci-fi RPGs to the next level by rooting the drama in your relationship with the crew – they and the galaxy map will adapt and react to the strategic choices you make, the battles you win… and those that you lose.
Drawing inspiration from the likes of X-Com, Fallout, Mount & Blade, Sid Meier’s Pirates! and Star Trek Online, The Mandate was in the top 3 games on Steam Greenlight before being successfully Greenlit on 29 October 2013, and has already raised over $250,000 in its Kickstarter campaign, due to end on 1st December 2013. The Perihelion team is comprised of industry veterans, who have previously worked on projects including Assassin’s Creed, Assassin’s Creed II, Mafia II, Far Cry 2, Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, Call of Duty 3and The Secret World.
The game is planned for a Q1 2015 release and can either be played solo, or with five other friends for additional strategic and tactical challenges. Perihelion has designed the game to be a no-compromise experience for multiplayer and single-player, and players should not notice a difference in enjoyment level or depth playing either alone or with friends.
