Leading Free-to-Play Publisher Expands Business Portfolio for the Rapidly
Growing Global Mobile Market with Initial Slate of Three Distinct Titles for
Core Gamers
Santa Clara, CA - March 2, 2012 - Aeria Games, a leading global publisher of
free-to-play online games, revealed today its new mobile division, Aeria Mobile,
focusing on the multiplayer core gaming segment of the mobile gaming market. The
formation of Aeria Mobile further positions Aeria Games as a fast growing,
multi-platform game publisher and leverages Aeria Games' close relationships
with global game developers, as the company plans an aggressive launch schedule
of 1-2 new games per month moving forward. The inaugural lineup of free-to-play
mobile and tablet titles includes Eden Eternal: Monster Arena, the first-ever
mobile version of the highly successful and critically acclaimed anime MMORPG
franchise Eden Eternal from Aeria Games, the turn-based MMO tank combat game
Tuff Tanks, and a brand new turn-based military strategy game, Armygeddon.
"Our new Aeria Mobile division allows the 35 million core players that love our
games to extend their multiplayer online experience onto mobile devices," said
Lan Hoang, CEO of Aeria Games. "We will bring the Aeria Games experience to both
new players and existing fans in the fast-growing but underserved mobile core
gaming arena."
The first three titles from Aeria Mobile include the following games:
- Eden Eternal: Monster Arena: Drawn from the popular universe of
online MMORPG Eden Eternal from Aeria Games, Monster Arena is a new
experience created exclusively for the mobile platform. The game brings the
beloved anime-style gameplay of the popular franchise to an innovative
accelerometer-based shooter RPG. Players will prepare their hero with unique
weapons, memorize tide-turner spells, capture powerful monsters, and battle
through quests or player vs. player combat (PvP) in lush, vivid, and
colorful landscapes straight from Eden Eternal.
- Tuff Tanks: In this turn-based artillery shooter set in a
colorful world of monsters and tanks, players can test their combat skills
by playing solo or battling with up to seven friends in both cooperative and
competitive arenas. Accessible yet nuanced touchscreen controls will reward
player ability as players fight head-to-head to compete on the global
leaderboards. Players will complete missions to gain rewards, customize
their tank and avatar, engage in boss battles, and exchange fire with their
friends as they boost their arsenal.
- Armygeddon: Developed by Aeria Mobile, Armygeddon is a turn-based
military strategy game set in a near-future setting that features episodic
single-player content and asynchronous multiplayer combat. Players will
level up Heroes to lead their army, hone their squad tactics through PvP,
compete in weekly contests, and above all else, engage in exciting
turn-based gameplay where unit selection, deployment, and strategy are the
keys to victory.
