Markham, Canada – March 22, 2013

- Rock Hippo Productions Ltd. announced today the launch of its latest update – Tracker Attackers - for their popular free-to-play cartoon-style third-person shooter, MicroVolts.   The Micro World is under attack! Menacing machines have completely overwhelmed toy defences and invaded the Academy map. Thousands of innocent players have already been captured or destroyed by the enemy.  Join the toy war, register for events and check out the latest screenshots and trailer at www.MicroVolts.com !  

The Tracker Boss has installed a base camp at the Academy where their numbers seem to grow larger every day. So far, 4 weapons of micro destruction have been identified: TRK-01, TRK-02, TRK-03, and TRK-04. Each one makes use of different abilities to track and capture toy comrades for experimentation on battery power sources.

Those brave enough to face the Trackers will be rewarded upon victory. With a little luck, some may find valuable coupons or even a new ultra rare melee weapon: The Golden Tracker Head! Preparations and training for the Tracker Battles are also underway all over the Micro World. Players supporting a team mate with enemy kills will now earn Assist Points!

The capsule machine interface has received an upgrade to increase efficiency and capacity during the war against Trackers. These machines are on the players’ side! 

Warriors of the past have emerged from the shadows, united against a common threat! Witness the return of Gold Knight Naomi, Musashi C.H.I.P., Anesidora Pandora, and Hippo Knox! Legendary warriors also need legendary weapons. There is now a special capsule containing 7 weapons of gold: Ace, Rook, Bulldozer, Intervention G3A1, Dazzler, MP5, and Gold Bass!  

Tracker sympathizers are making the task at hand more difficult, but ironically, their efforts to name these grotesque creatures will actually make it easier to identify threats and give players an advantage in battle. Join the Tracker Alias Challenge at http://microvolts.com/news/show/1006 .
