Millennial Esports’ Eden Games Amongst First Studios to Integrate Amazon GameOn
20 Mars 2018 - 1:26PM
Millennial Esports Corp. ("Millennial" or the
"Company") (TSX VENTURE:GAME) (OTCQB:MLLLF), a mobile
video game publisher focused on Esports and Racing, today announced
that the Millennial Esports mobile racing game, Gear.Club, is
expanding its gaming experience with the integration of Amazon
GameOn, a new cross-platform competitive gaming service. After
working with Amazon to integrate with this new service, Millennial
Esports’ game studio, Eden Games, was announced at the Game
Developers Conference (GDC) on March 19 as one of the first game
studios to build the service into one of their games.
“Supported by this amazing new Amazon service,
we can now offer daily Gear.Club Esports Racing competitions with
real-world prizes fulfilled by Amazon. By being an early adopter of
Amazon’s cross-platform, competitive gaming service, we are excited
to provide our fans with a superior competitive mobile racing
experience combined with the thrill of prizing. Consequently, we
expect to see greater Gear.Club user engagement, resulting in more
downloads and in-game spending,” said Millennial Esports CEO, Alex
Igelman. “The fact that Amazon chose to work with Eden Games speaks
to the quality of Eden’s work and the strong relationships we have
built, which will benefit our company on multiple initiatives with
our partners in the Esports Racing vertical.”
Gear.Club is currently the only realistic racing
game to integrate GameOn’s set of flexible APIs and build
real-world prizing into their competitions, which is another
example of Millennial’s successful implementation of a strategy to
leverage a global competition model in bringing racing to the
forefront of Esports. The daily competitions, detailed
leaderboards, and real-world prizes fulfilled by Amazon will
provide Gear.Club with a unique tournament platform amongst Esports
Racing games, while increasing the profile of established
Millennial tournament models such as the upcoming second season of
World’s Fastest Gamer, produced in partnership with McLaren.
“I think it is safe to say that Millennial
Esports is making a big splash in the huge growth area of mobile
Esports Racing and we’re bringing some of the biggest brands in the
world along for the ride,” said Darren Cox, Millennial Esports CMO.
“To have Gear.Club using Amazon GameOn’s service to run
competitions so quickly after acquiring Eden Games also
demonstrates the speed and success with which we have integrated
the studio into the Millennial Esports ecosystem.”
With Amazon GameOn, Millennial Esports can offer
an enhanced gaming experience for its leading mobile game franchise
Gear.Club, including links to the millions of fans on Twitch and
real-world prizes fulfilled by Amazon. GameOn has been designed to
allow games publishers such as Eden Games, the developer behind
some of the world’s most successful racing franchises, including
V-Rally and Test Drive Unlimited, to reach wider audiences through
seamless tournament organization.
“As soon as we heard of Amazon’s new service, we
knew we wanted to be involved, not only because it is Amazon, but
because GameOn saves us months of development and a great deal of
maintenance and logistical overhead in the long run.,” said David
Nadal, CEO, Eden Games. “To be one of the first developers to
integrate GameOn is both an honour for us and a real win for the
millions of Gear.Club fans. Using GameOn to scale the size of the
competitions we run in Gear.Club has made it easy for us to add
leaderboards and tournaments in-game.”
