Ubisoft has confirmed that ShootMania Storm, the online multiplayer first-person shooter for the PC, will be released on April 10th, 2013. Starting February 12th, the game will also enter an Open Beta phase.

Developed by Ubisoft’s Nadeo studio, ShootMania Storm features extensive map editing capabilities, allowing players to customise, design and share their creations across the community.  To date, players have created more than 15 game modes and, already, more than 20,000 maps have been created by players using ManiaPlanet’s proprietary map editor.

“Nadeo’s model of development has always been to be very close to the community, said Anne Bondel-Jouin, Managing Director of Nadeo Live , and following the release of the Beta 2 in December, we received a tremendous amount of information from the very active ShootMania community. For a living, online multiplayer title like this the work is never done, but these extra few weeks will allow us to polish the game further and release it to the level of quality we think our players deserve.”
