In the past, High Voltage has stated that The Conduit will have a “world-class marketing campaign.” It looks as though SEGA plans on heavily supporting the game. According to High Voltage’s Josh Olson, there are “bigger and better things in store for TV” and that “you may want to hold onto your socks.”

“We have bigger and better things in store for TV so you may want to hold onto your socks. Maybe even sit down. The PR train is just getting rolling; we have big plans and will be advertising the game pretty heavily.”

Thanks to Jake for the news tip!

According to Ronimo Games, Swords and Soldiers will be ready for download on May 15th in Europe. It has been confirmed that the title will cost 1000 points. As far as a North American release goes, the game will become available “soon.”
