Hail, Adventurers! "Vanguard: Saga Of Heroes(TM)" Voyages into Retail Stores
Today

San Dego, CA - January 30, 2007 - Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) and Sigil
Games Online announced today that the hotly anticipated massively
multiplayer online role-playing game, "Vanguard: Saga of Heroes(TM)," is now
available at retail outlets across North America and Europe. The game is
also offered for digital download at www.station.com.

"From day one, 'Vanguard' was created with the vision of developing an MMO
with an unparalleled feeling of immersion," said Brad McQuaid, CEO of Sigil
Games Online. "To accomplish this, we included innovative features that
break the shackles of the traditional MMO experience. Our diplomacy system,
for example, is one of many original concepts we employed to invigorate the
MMO game play experience."

"Vanguard: Saga of Heroes" features stunning environments reminiscent of
classic fantasy oil paintings, as well as three fully-developed layers of
gameplay (diplomacy, adventuring and crafting), along with a comprehensive
character creation tool. Three vast continents are available for
exploration, and players will enjoy a fully immersive experience as they
delve into new lands riddled with powerful items, dangerous enemies, and
boundless adventure. As players reach higher levels, they can traverse the
world freely on flying dragons, voyaging across far-reaching lands in a
breathtaking, non-instanced world.

"Vanguard's beauty coupled with the sheer size and scale of the world is
like nothing else experienced in today's games. It's poised to make a
significant contribution to the genre, which is one of many reasons SOE is
looking forward to adding this exciting title to our line up of games
included in the all-in-one Station Access(TM) subscription package," Laura
Naviaux, Sr. Brand Manager, Sony Online Entertainment.

Rated "T" for Teen by the ESRB, the game is available for the suggested
retail price of US $49.99. The limited edition version with unique content
for collectors is also available for a suggested retail price of $89.99. The
North American subscription fee for "Vanguard: Saga of Heroes" is $14.99 a
month, with discounts offered for longer subscription commitments. For
players who purchase "Vanguard: Saga of Heroes" and have an SOE Station
Access subscription, the subscription to "Vanguard: Saga of Heroes" will be
included in the $24.99 monthly fee. "Vanguard: Saga of Heroes" has also been
added to SOE's universal game card available at retail in 30- and 90-day
subscription periods.
