Gaijin Entertainment to Integrate AGEIA PhysX SDK into Dagor Game Engine

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. & MOSCOW – April 7, 2006 – AGEIA™ Technologies, Inc., the pioneer in hardware-accelerated physics for games, today announced at the Russian Developers Conference (KRI) that Russian game developer Gaijin Entertainment is integrating the AGEIA PhysX™ SDK into their Dagor Game Engine, a popular middleware solution for Russian game developers. Gaijin will also provide first-line support for the AGEIA PhysX SDK—an important benefit in the region where English is not widely used.

The agreement further solidifies AGEIA’s growing position in the Russian games market by exposing the benefits of AGEIA PhysX technology to a broader range of developers who do not have specific licensing agreements with AGEIA. Gaijin already has several games in development that will take advantage of the engine integration, and which will leverage the power of the AGEIA PhysX processor to deliver intensely interactive physics-based action.

The AGEIA PhysX processor is available now in game PCs from Dell, Alienware and Falcon Northwest, and on add-in boards from ASUS and BFG Technologies starting in May 2006.

“Our goal at Gaijin Entertainment is to make our Dagor Engine the most advanced and complete game engine on the Russian market,” said Anton Yudintsev, CEO of Gaijin Entertainment. “With the AGEIA PhysX SDK integrated into the Dagor Engine, we can offer everything from standard physics such as characters and vehicles to advanced physics such as cloth, fluids and smoke.”

“Our agreement with Gaijin Entertainment will help AGEIA make further inroads into the important Russian market, which is delivering some exciting innovations in games,” said Kathy Schoback, vice president of content acquisition at AGEIA. “Gaijin’s first-line support in the Russian language will make the AGEIA PhysX SDK a powerful option for Russian developers who want to shake up the world with the latest in game technology.”
