Tribes: Ascent release date confirmed, parody trailer released

Hi-Rez Studios announced at GDC that Tribes: Ascend will be released on April 12, 2012.

Tribes: Ascend is a fast paced sci-fi FPS for the PC that bills itself the “World’s Fastest Shooter.”

Supporting the announcement Hi-Rez Studios also released a parody trailer titled “Tribes Ascend – Llama Island.”

“Tribes is all about speed and movement,” explains Todd Harris, Hi-Rez Studios Chief Operating Officer. “In fact the community uses the term llama to refer to a player moving too slowly, like a plodding llama.  So this video demonstrates the perils of trying to capture a flag while going too slow.  The outcome is predictable but no less tragic.”
