”Collaborating with Hawthorne Heights really epitomizes the importance we place on fostering creative partnerships with independent labels like Wind-Up Records,” said Mark Seremet, Zoo CEO. ”This will enable us to reach new audiences across various entertainment genres with a distinctive and more personalized gameplay experience.”
Players will able to obtain special Hawthorne Heights-branded car skins - including distinctive Buggy and Van skins displaying the Hawthorne Heights skeletons theme - as in-game achievements. In addition, Melvin, Fireburst’s token nerd character, will have 16 Hawthorne Heights’ cars that will allow players to race with distinct prominence in the game’s off-road tracks and racecourses. Hawthorne Heights’ single, “Drive,” from their latest album, Skeletons, is also now available for free download on the newly launched Fireburst site.
Fireburst will be released this Summer for 1200 MSP/$14.95 USD for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
