AMD Mantle API Deepens Industry Influence with Support for Three New Electronic Arts Titles

—     AMD con­ti­nues to advan­ce PC gam­ing with Man­t­le sup­port for DICE’s Frost­bi­te 3 engi­ne 

 SUNNYVALE, Calif. — June 25, 2014 AMD (NYSE: AMD) is plea­sed to announ­ce that Elec­tro­nic Arts (EA) will sup­port Man­t­le, AMD’s ground­brea­king gra­phics API, in three new games: Batt­le­field Hard­li­ne™, Dra­gon Age: Inqui­si­ti­on™, and Plants vs. Zom­bies: Gar­den War­fa­re™. The­se join an exten­si­ve cata­lo­gue of more than 40 games that now sup­port AMD’s revo­lu­tio­na­ry gra­phics API. All three of the­se games are powered by DICE’s cut­ting-edge engi­ne, Frost­bi­te 3.

The latest title from the Batt­le­field series, Batt­le­field Hard­li­ne™ fol­lows Nick Mendoza’s jour­ney on a cross-coun­try ven­det­ta against once-trus­ted col­le­agues of the force.

Dra­gon Age: Inqui­si­ti­on™ is the newest ent­ry from the clas­sic series from Bio­Wa­re. In this outing, legen­da­ry heroes look to res­to­re order as you lead the Inqui­si­ti­on and hunt down the agents of cha­os. BioWare’s latest action-adven­ture deli­vers an unpar­al­le­led sto­ry set in a vast, chan­geable land­scape. Explo­re hid­den caves, defeat tru­ly monu­men­tal crea­tures, and shape the world around you based on your uni­que play style.

 Plants vs. Zom­bies: Gar­den War­fa­re™ digs into the tren­ches with an explo­si­ve new Co-op and Mul­ti­play­er action expe­ri­ence. Blast zom­bies and plants across a mine-blo­wing world that deli­vers the depth of a tra­di­tio­nal online shoo­ter blen­ded with the refres­hing humor of Plants vs. Zom­bies. Powered by the advan­ced Frost­bi­te 3 engi­ne, Plants vs. Zom­bies: Gar­den War­fa­re deli­vers an explo­si­ve new action expe­ri­ence in a mas­si­ve, three-dimen­sio­nal world, bloo­ming with color and combat.

With more than 50 acti­ve deve­lo­pers now sup­port­ing Man­t­le, we’re exci­ted to see how quick­ly our team’s visi­on has come to a cri­ti­cal mass,” said Rit­che Cor­pus, direc­tor of ISV gam­ing and alli­ances, AMD. “We laun­ched our Man­t­le API with EA’s Batt­le­field 4, and to see it expan­ding into more block­bus­ter titles from EA is very exciting.”
