Some interesting news for those of you who plan on pre-ordering Shadowbane:

July 29, 2002 -- Ubi Soft and ubi.com, the publishers of Shadowbane, today unveiled the details of a first-ever limited edition Shadowbane pre-order box which will contain a code to unlock three restricted races in the final version of Shadowbane. Shadowbane is the highly-anticipated, fantasy-based massively multiplayer online (MMO) game scheduled for release this November.

The Shadowbane pre-order box will be available in September at Electronics Boutique, Gamestop, and CompUSA in limited quantities for $10.00 suggested retail price. Buyers of the pre-order box will be credited the price of the pre-order box when they purchase the final version of Shadowbane in November.

The pre-order CD contains:

- Shadowbane Desktop Wallpaper
- A Shadowbane Screensaver
- A Shadowbane Video “Trailer”
- A one-time-use promotional code to unlock three Shadowbane Restricted Races: Minotaur, Aracoix, and Centaur.

Customers who pre-order Shadowbane online at EBworld.com, Gamefixx.com and Gamestop.com will only receive the code for the restricted races through those respective online retailers. Ubi Soft and Wolfpack Studios also confirmed today that restricted races will be unlocked each month as players play the game, providing those customers who do not pre-order Shadowbane the opportunity to access the restricted races as well.
