In a joint statement, THQ and Philips have confirmed that the upcoming PC title, Broken Sword: The Angel of Death, will support amBX technology. Mixing ambient lighting, 'active furniture', and even airflows, amBX aims to create a new level of immersion for gamers.

"With Philips' amBX system we can create a Broken Sword game that is not only emotionally engaging but also a visual experience that is both dramatic and very unique," said Mickey Torode, Senior Global Brand Manager, THQ Inc. "Philips has been extremely supportive not only with the development of the game, but also in providing THQ the resources and technology to demonstrate the game alongside the new technology for our key partners."

"Angel of Death is an ideal game to pioneer our agreement with THQ - innovative, and atmospheric with a strong narrative drive - but it really is just the beginning," commented Jo Cooke, Chief Marketing Officer for Philips amBX. "THQ's profound understanding of the market and the strength in depth of its games portfolio will, I'm sure, enable the company to get some stunning results integrating amBX in its games."

Philips has also confirmed that it's in the final stages of a number of other publishers to support amBX in future titles.
