Swedish mobile gaming supplier Daydream launches the sequel to the successful mobile online game BotFighters together with mobile operator 3.
BotFighters 2 is an online game where thousands of players meet in an action adventure happening out on the streets of the real world.
Daydream has via its daughter company It's Alive signed an agreement with mobile operator 3 to launch the new game BotFghters 2. The agreement includes 3 in Sweden and Denmark. It's Alive is already developing games for 3 UK, and Daydream is also operating multiplayer games servers for 3 in Sweden, Austria and Denmark.
BotFighters 2 is a sequel of the earlier version of the game that had great success among others in Russia, generating up to one million SMS per week. The new version now launching is an action oriented roleplay game where thousands of players can meet in the same game world, joining rebel groups fighting against a corrupt global government in a future a hundred years from now. The game is moved out on the streets of the real world with the help of the mobile location technology available in most mobile networks.
The display of the mobile phone is turned into a radar screen showing the real world locations of your enemies, in a world that is now suddenly filled with dangers such as virtual booby traps and computer controlled enemies that must be avoided when moving around in the city. The game is downloaded from the mobile ****** of 3 and stored locally in the phone, and is then automatically connecting via the mobile network to an online game server where all players can interact. A monthly subscription fee gives unlimited access to play the game.
"BotFighters 2 is an exciting game concept, and with its strong community elements it fits perfectly with our Between Friends concept. We have also had great success with our Find-A-Friend service, and this game is a fun and natural next step on location based products.", says Rikard Ljungman, Commercial Manager for Media Services at 3.
