Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe and DOCOMO Digital: Distribution, Content and Payment Partnership

Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe has today announced a global partnership with m-commerce enabler DOCOMO Digital to expand content portfolios and drive growth in new markets.

Using DOCOMO Digital’s m-commerce platform, Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe will explore new sales channels, compete in emerging markets and drive monetisation of games using alternative payment methods, including direct carrier billing.

The partnership will also see the co-creation of exclusive HTML5 based mobile games which DOCOMO Digital will be able to offer directly to its partner network of mobile operators. The company also plans to develop stronger relationships with alternative app stores, mobile device OEMS and operators in emerging ecosystems, particularly in Africa, Latam and India.

Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe’s freemium mobile games will also be directly impacted by the deal. DOCOMO Digital will leverage its distribution reach to give customers different ways to discover and engage with mobile games, primarily in unbanked countries where direct carrier billing is a mainstream payment method for digital content.

Additionally DOCOMO Digital’s marketing solutions will be used to attract new customers for the co-created mobile games, including mobile search and affiliate campaigns.

Hiroyuki Sato, CEO of DOCOMO Digital, said: “Bandai Namco has constantly delivered innovative games and we are delighted to partner with them to enhance mobile gaming experiences and payments for users. For us, the partnership is a huge step towards our growth strategy and will enable us to expand our content offering to our network of over 200 network operators globally.”

We hope that our products and services will help increase and enhance social activities in these territories.”

Assassin’s Creed Rebellion – Build Your Own Assassin Brotherhood

Assassin’s Creed returns to the 15th century with Assassin’s Creed Rebellion, a free-to-play strategy RPG just announced for iOS and Android devices, and developed in close collaboration with Behaviour Interactive studio. The game offers an unique Assassin’s Creed visual experience thanks to a new artistic direction, presenting familiar faces in a new light while remaining faithful to the series.

Giving players the chance to build their own Assassin Brotherhood, manage a fortress, and engage in covert missions against the Templars, Assassin’s Creed Rebellion brings together a roster of more than 40 Assassins. Recruit familiar Assassins such as Ezio, Aguilar, Shao Jun, Claudia, and Machiavelli, along with more than 20 new unlockable characters exclusively created for Assassin’s Creed Rebellion. You can play with these and other famous Assassins simultaneously thanks to a new version of the Animus that merges the memories of several Assassins together.



Set in Spain during the height of the Inquisition, Assassin’s Creed Rebellion lets you build out your Brotherhood HQ with new rooms that enable you to train your Assassins and craft new items and equipment. As you level up your Brotherhood, additional rooms and other content become available, opening up new upgrade options. Your fortress also serves as a base of operations before taking teams of three Assassins into various infiltration missions. Different skills and character combinations are better suited to some missions than others, so the way you develop your Brotherhood can have a big impact on gameplay. The types of missions you pursue also have an effect on how your Assassins develop: standard missions are key for gathering resources to upgrade your Assassins, while Loot missions will earn materials for crafting. New Assassins are unlocked by collecting their DNA fragments in Story or Legacy missions.

Assassin’s Creed Rebellion is currently in development, with a worldwide release coming soon to iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, and Android platforms. The game is recommended for devices running iOS 8 on Android 4.1, and optimized for Android devices with at least 2GB RAM.

Futurama: Worlds of Tomorrow Launches Today on the App Store and Google Play

ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD! Jam City, via its game studio TinyCo, and FoxNext Games announced that their mobile game Futurama: Worlds of Tomorrow is available TODAY on the App Store and Google Play. TinyCo has released two new animated trailers alongside the game, one of which reveals the game’s all-new story created by Matt Groening, David X. Cohen, and the Futurama writers. This story sets the stage for a galactic adventure that will take players across the universe in search of ancient alien artifacts to restore the fabric of spacetime after it is transformed by one of the universe’s most recognizable yet enigmatic creatures: the Hypnotoad.

"Hypnotoad has always been one of Futurama's most mysterious amphibians," said Matt Groening. "In this game we finally get to learn much more about his bizarre abilities and mating habits. Perhaps too much more.”



Created in partnership with Futurama creator and Executive Producer Matt Groening and his Curiosity Company, along with Executive Producer David X. Cohen, original Futurama writers, and Rough Draft Studios, Futurama: Worlds of Tomorrow blends simulation, combat, galactic exploration, and choose-your-own-adventure gameplay together to bring the escapades of the Planet Express crew to life. Players will experience new stories from the writers of Futurama that are filled to the brim with the wit, charm, and sci-fi hijinks that fans have come to know and love. Today’s launch is just the beginning for Futurama: Worlds of Tomorrow, however, as the game will be updated with new characters, quests, and stories every week.

“Bringing Futurama back in such a new and ambitious form was extremely difficult,” said David X. Cohen, Futurama Co-Developer and Head Writer. “Especially for the people I was bossing around and yelling at."





In addition to its popular original IP games such as Cookie Jam and Panda Pop, Jam City has made a science out of turning some of the world’s largest entertainment franchises and brands into hit mobile games. The mobile gaming publisher is the creator of 6 of the Top 100 Highest Grossing games played nationwide across both iPhone and Android devices.

“We are Futurama fanatics,” said Chris DeWolfe, co-founder and CEO of Jam City. “As such, it is quite an honor for us to collaborate so closely with Matt Groening and David X. Cohen on Futurama: Worlds of Tomorrow.”





“Jam City has a unique heritage of translating original TV brands, like Futurama, into mobile gaming platforms that will be played by tens of millions of fans worldwide," DeWolfe continued. “By blending contemporary culture and science fiction, we have created a next gen mobile experience for core fans and those who are new to Futurama. We could not be more thrilled to continue the Futurama story here at Jam City.”
