New York, NY, April 9, 1996 -- MTV'S AEON FLUX, a pulse-pounding 3D action game featuring the leather-clad, lethal beauty created by animator Peter Chung for MTV: Music Television, is currently in development by Paris-based developer Cryo Interactive Entertainment for Viacom New Media. The game, starring the animated action heroine, is scheduled for release on Sony PlayStation and PC CD-ROM in October 1996. Viacom New Media and MTV are both units of Viacom Inc.

Aeon Flux is a spellbinding heroine hell-bent on completing her dangerous missions in a bizarre battle of spy vs. spy throughout a treacherous, industrial-techno future world. As Aeon Flux, players will dive first-person into a world of acrobatic, pistol packing, dangerously erotic, mission-driven action to capture the Demiurge, a supernatural being with the power to bring the dead to life. Players will guide the queen of black leather and cold steel, a real-time 3D character, in six missions through more than 35 real-time 3D levels, performing reconnaissance, sabotage and theft, and generally wreaking havoc.

"In translating Aeon Flux from 2D linear story to 3D interactive action game, we are creating a new experience that remains thematically linked to her fast-paced, tumultuous and enigmatic past," said Aeon creator and animator Peter Chung. Chung is intimately involved with the development of the game and directed the exotic Aeonesque moves during the motion capture sessions. "In fact, the translation to 3D action game was so natural, that if we hadn't done it, Aeon might have just made the leap herself."

Aeon Flux was first introduced to MTV viewers through a series of segments on MTV's "Liquid Television" in June of 1991 and debuted in her own series in August 1995.
