Microsoft Game Studios and renowned Canadian developer Silicon Knights announced that the blockbuster action-RPG “Too Human” has gone gold and will be shipping to retailers throughout North America on August 19. To get ready for the game’s release, gamers can jump into the first level of “Too Human” with a demo now available on Xbox LIVE.

In its first week of availability the “Too Human” demo has been downloaded more than any other action demo on Xbox LIVE Marketplace and has been one of the top played titles on Xbox LIVE overall. Additionally, gamers that pre-order will get access to five exclusive armour sets, one for each class in the game.

A modern take on classical Norse mythology, the Xbox 360 exclusive “Too Human” chronicles the epic story of cybernetic god, Baldur, and his quest to save humanity at the potential price of sacrificing his own humanity. By combining elements of both action and RPG genres - along with the ability to fully customize Baldur’s weaponry, armour, and combat techniques - “Too Human” creates a truly unique gameplay experience. Players can also invite a friend to join the explosive combat via advanced, online two-player co-op gameplay on Xbox LIVE *.

“Too Human” will have an estimated retail price of $59.99 and is rated “T” for Teen. For more information, visit www.xbox.com/en-CA/toohuman.

*Online co-op play requires Xbox LIVE Gold Membership.
