Electronic Arts announced that Medal of Honor Heroes shipped today and will hit store shelves in North America October 25, 2006, and worldwide later next month. Epic World War II (WWII) battles go portable with Medal of Honor Heroes for the PlayStation Portable. For the first time, players can take all the authentic WWII action of Medal of Honor (MoH) on-the-go. Building on the key tenets of the franchise including historical accuracy and authenticity, Medal of Honor Heroes is the newest addition to the critically-acclaimed Medal of Honor franchise which is credited with pioneering the First-Person Shooter WWII genre with its original release in 1999. This marks the exciting debut for a Medal of Honor game, as well as a WWII FPS game, on the PSP system.
Medal of Honor Heroes will be available exclusively for the PSP system — with an entirely unique storyline and PSP-specific feature set. Players will experience a totally new single player campaign, and can choose from six different multiplayer modes within 15 different maps, while participating in wireless multiplayer sessions with up to 32 players — the most EVER offered in a PSP game’s multiplayer infrastructure mode. Up to eight gamers can also play across the room in a local adhoc connection. “Quickplay” missions in skirmish game mode, allow players to jump right into the action or to create customized mission scenarios for added re-playability.
