DreamCatcher Interactive announced that first-person shooter Painkiller: Hell Wars has gone gold for the Xbox. Developed by People Can Fly, Painkiller: Hell Wars features unyielding first-person shooter battles with the demonic forces of Hell.

"We have an awesome action-packed Xbox game that we're all proud of," said Byron Gaum, Global Product Marketing Manager at DreamCatcher Games. "Even the external testing teams, who see a lot of games come through their studio, were absolutely blown away by the fast-paced action, especially in multiplayer. This is the game that Painkiller and Xbox action fans have been waiting for!"

Stranded in purgatory, Daniel Garner must face the insurmountable horde of Hell's monstrous creatures in Painkiller: Hell Wars. The battle to obtain purification begins and the decisive action to prevent the forces of good and evil from clashing in a massive unholy war ultimately lies in the players' hand. Featuring intense, fast-paced action, Painkiller: Hell Wars will keep players' adrenaline pumping as they battle horrifying odds in both single and multiplayer modes. If the arsenal of combo weapons at their fingertips isn't enough to stop Hell's incarnations, players can also collect souls to morph into a possessed beast and unleash the truly fearsome force within. The sharp graphics and explosive action in conjunction with the Havok 2.0 physics engine will envelop players in the dark realm, lost somewhere between Heaven and Hell.
