SANTA CLARA, CA (February 19th,
2013)
– ChangYou.com (US) Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of ChangYou.com Ltd. (NASDAQ: CYOU) and a
leading publisher of online interactive entertainment in North
America, is pleased to announce the live launch of Renaissance
Heroes. The most anticipated first-person arena shooters of 2013,
Renaissance Heroes is now available on GameFuse.com in both North
America and Europe, complete with additional content including one

“After months of beta testing, we are excited to present

long-range kills that will leave any opponent fearful of her
presence. Also included in the launch is the new competitive game
mode, Domination, as well as the two new gameplay environments,
Graveyard and Aqueduct.
