Brisbane, Australia – August 1, 2007 – After a highly successful showing at Gamecock’s E.I.E.I.O. in California and a packed debut preview weekend, Auran, developers of the upcoming player versus player massively multiplayer online title, Fury, are excited to announce a partnership with the kings of competitive gaming – the Cyberathlete Professional League.

“When designing Fury, we always had skilled competitive players like those of the CPL in mind,” said Tony Hilliam, Auran CEO. “This partnership is a perfect fit: the ultimate in competitive gamers meet the ultimate competitive MMO.”

“Fury brings together the best elements of online role-playing games and first-person shooters,” said Richard Iggo, Vice President of marketing at Gamecock, Fury’s North American publishers. “It’s a natural fit that we work with the CPL on a game like this – we have all the depth that MMO players demand, but take the genre to a new level with lightning fast gameplay that’s all about your skill as a player, rather than the number of hours you’ve spent grinding out quests.”

The CPL will work directly with Auran and Gamecock on a series of promotional events and activities to deliver a game they’re describing as a ‘PvP revolution’. Promotions include access to Fury’s online preview weekend events and a presence at the Summer 2007 CPL Championships which takes place Thursday, August 30 to Sunday, September 2, 2007 (Labor Day Weekend) at the Hilton Anatole hotel in Dallas, Texas.

More activities will be announced in the coming weeks.

After the success of the first Beta Preview Weekend, Auran will be running another 36 hour Fury frag-fest (”RPG style”) from noon, Pacific Daylight Time, Saturday August 4th.
