Close Combat Returns Twice

Gathering and Destineer announced the next two titles in the Close Combat series; Close Combat: First to Fight and Close Combat: Red Phoenix, for the Xbox, PC, and Macintosh systems.

Close Combat: First to Fight, anticipated to be released in late 2004, is a team-based first-person shooter created under the direction of active-duty United States Marines. Close Combat: Red Phoenix is a real-time strategy game loosely based on the best-selling novel Red Phoenix by Larry Bond, and is anticipated for worldwide release in early 2005. Both games are being developed by Destineer and Atomic Games.

The Close Combat titles are being released under Take-Two's previously announced exclusive multi-product, multi-platform, worldwide distribution and publishing agreement with Destineer. Under this agreement, Gathering will distribute all Destineer products in North America and publish them in Europe.
