Furious Million Dollar Tournament

Posted by Stropp on August 15, 2007

Auran, the Brisbane based developer of Fury, has announced that they are holding a global Fury tournament with a million dollars of prizes up for grabs. That’s a million dollars Australian by the way which works out to around 844,000 US dollars. Although the way the exchange rate has been lately, by the time the tournament is complete it will probably be a lot closer to a million US.

The tourny is scheduled for the 15th, 22nd, and 29th of September. This is prior to the official release of the game, which is due in October. Auran is hoping to get over 600,000 participants, including both teams and individual players.

For those of you who are interested, you can get more information and details on how to download the free pre-launch client from unleashthefury.com.

One other bit of goodness from this announcement is the news that Auran will be providing an Australian based server. That should help keep the ping times down. Especially welcome for a fast paced action game like this. It’s a pity that Blizzard still hasn’t given Aussie players some locally based servers.

Update: The Gamecock Media Group has announced the official release date for Fury as the 9th of October. You can now preorder Fury from Gamestop.
