Ubisoft and Nadeo have announced that ShootMania Storm, their upcoming online multiplayer first-person shooter release will be available on the 10th April 2013. In addition, starting on the 12th February, the game will enter an open beta phase which will allow fans or potential fans access to the game – and hopefully provide developers with vital information for the games upcoming launch.
Developed by Ubisoft’s Nadeo studio, ShootMania Storm follows the footsteps of TrackMania, Nadeo’s successful arcade racing game, to present a new dimension in first-person shooter. As part of the ManiaPlanet system, ShootMania Storm puts players at the center of their gaming experience. To date, players have created more than 15 game modes and, already, more than 20,000 maps have been created by players using ManiaPlanet’s proprietary map editor.

Nadeo’s model of development has always been to be very close to the community and following the release of the Beta 2 in December, we received a tremendous amount of information from the very active ShootMania community. For a living, online multiplayer title like this the work is never done, but these extra few weeks will allow us to polish the game further and release it to the level of quality we think our players deserve.
