Concrete Software, a leading American mobile content developer, has teamed-up with PBA (the Professional Bowlers Association) in order to develop and publish a new mobile game named "PBA Bowling."

The game will include, besides a professional bowling atmosphere, advanced 3D graphics as well as a motion control feature that will allow players to simulate real ball throws (only works on mobile phones with photo camera). Moreover, PBA Bowling will feature 11 of the most famous bowlers of the Professional Association, so gamers will have the chance to play with Norm Duke, Tommy Jones or Pete Weber.

Fred Schreyer, Commissioner and CEO of PBA, said about the future game: "We are very pleased to be teaming up with Concrete Software to produce the first PBA video game of its kind. This is a great opportunity to showcase not only the game of bowling and the PBA but to also have some of the superstars of the PBA featured so that fans across the world can put themselves on the lanes with PDW, Sean Rash and others."

Keith Pichelman, Concrete Software's CEO, added: "Bowling games have always done well in the mobile market which makes it very exciting to be working with the premier brand in bowling. It's exciting to be able to combine our knowledge of building games and the PBA's long history of bowling."

For the time being, Concrete Software did not release any screenshots with the new game, so we don't have any idea about how it will look like. But we'll see it all in June, when the US-based game developer plans to release the new game internationally. To be more precise, the mobile PBA Bowling will be unveiled at the beginning of June, before (or during) the PBA Team Shootout held at Six Flags Great America, the well-known theme park in the vicinity of Chicago.
