EA and Realtime Worlds, Inc. announced today during the EA Press Conference, that they have entered an exclusive marketing and distribution agreement for North America and Europe that will bring the All Points Bulletin (APB) to PC in early 2010.

Founded by industry veteran David Jones, creator of Lemming’s, Grand Theft Auto 1 & 2 and Crackdown, Realtime Worlds’ latest project takes the universal theme of Criminals and Enforcement and brings it to a persistent, open world multiplayer setting in a modern, crime-ridden city.

APB is a new breed of online game, set in a persistent living, breathing open-world urban environment where fame and fortune awaits all players. Some players will achieve this by feeding on the city, its people and its businesses…the Criminals. Some will live by a higher code and instead feed on the criminals and their organizations…the Enforcers. This dynamic where players become the core content for other players is one of the many unique features of APB. Its deep, rich customization system provides players with the ability to completely personalize their identity. Looks, clothing, vehicles and even music, all to astonishing detail and quality.
