DreamCatcher Inc. of the JoWooD Group, a leading worldwide publisher and distributor of interactive entertainment software, today announced that Painkiller: Overdose, the next installment in the critically-acclaimed and award-winning franchise Painkiller, has shipped to retail stores.

The popular high-energy, frantic-styled gameplay is back in full force to continue the frenzy started among FPS fans in 2004 with the release of the original Painkiller. This sequel to the eventual prequel is packed with tons of fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled single player and multiplayer levels of mayhem. Painkiller: Overdose brings with it 8 innovative demonic weapons, mind-bending physics, lightning-player maps, over 40 demented and sickly-twisted monsters from Hell and gigantic end bosses that will blow your mind!

"FPS fans - get ready for another gory dose of intense painkilling action!" said Albert Seidl, president of the JoWooD Group. "We have worked closely with the talented development team at Mindware Studios to bring what started out as a community mod to a full-fledged shooter that we are all very excited about."

Painkiller: Overdose has an ESRB rating of ‘M’ for Mature in North America and will sell for a suggested retail price of $39.99 USD.
