14 DAY TRIAL // CDC Games, a business unit of CDC Corporation, and Abandon Mobile announced a joint venture for the upcoming multi-platform, multiplayer mobile game, Freaky Creatures. Freaky Creatures is the first mobile community-based game of its kind to combine user created content, strategy, simulation and popular trading card game elements, with cross-platform gaming connectivity between mobile handsets and personal computers. As part of the joint venture, CDC Games will market and distribute Freaky Creatures in China and Southeast Asia, including India and Vietnam, while Abandon Mobile will market and distribute the game in North America and Europe.
"Freaky Creatures is a completely new idea, but contains key elements of traditional online game play, including persistent characters, a diverse universe, addictive mechanics and total ownership of your creations," said Jamie Ottilie, President and COO of Abandon Mobile. "Our partnership with CDC Games significantly enhances our ability to foster community and bring this exciting property to mainstream audiences around the world."
Freaky Creatures is an innovative game that allows users to create a completely unique character and interact with players on PCs or mobile devices. Players can customize their character by choosing from one of ten distinctive species and hundreds of parts and skills. Then, users take their creature on an intergalactic adventure, unlocking the creature's powers to defend territory and confront evil corporations. The player with the most powerful creatures and the best trainers will ultimately determine who will rule the resources and the planets. The game will also feature an online community that will give users access to online and mobile comics, message boards, developer chats, custom tournaments, wallpapers and leader boards.
"Freaky Creatures is a great example of a compelling new license that has huge community appeal," said John Lee, President of CDC Games. "As we add to our growing base of registered users, publishing high-quality, innovative titles like Freaky Creatures is fundamental to the growth of our games publishing business and to increasing our presence in new and expanding markets."
