Medal of Honor Military edition available for pre-order at GovX.com

EA and GovX have teamed up for a military edition of “Medal of Honor: Warfighter,” on sale exclusively to verified military personnel, at GovX.com.

The Medal of Honor Warfighter Military Edition will be released on Oct. 23, 2012. According to a news release, this will be the first time a major video game release will offer a special edition that will only be available to verified active, reserve, retired and former military personnel, not the general public.

The game’s release will benefit various military-related foundations.   A portion of GovX’s proceeds from Medal of Honor Warfighter Military Edition game sales will be donated to GovX military foundation partners, including the Air Force Association and AFA Veteran Benefits Association, Marine Corps Association & Foundation, and National Association for Uniformed Services, among others, according to the release. In partnership with Electronic Arts, GovX will also contribute to the Navy SEAL Foundation and Special Operations Warrior Foundation, the release states.

“This is a uniquely exceptional video game, precisely the kind of game to lead the industry with a privileged Military Edition,” said Tony Farwell, President and a founder of GovX, Inc., in the news release. “Not only is Medal of Honor a massively popular game franchise, it’s a more personal, plot-based game with a deep pathos and authenticity that serves to further heighten our respect for those who serve. This exclusive Medal of Honor Warfighter Military Edition represents a new step for major game franchises, and Electronic Arts again leads the industry by creating a privileged version for our military.”
