GREE Says it Will Launch New Global Mobile-Social Gaming Platform Using OpenFeint Next Year
After acquiring OpenFeint for $104 million and then bringing in new leadership to run the company, Japanese gaming company GREE says it will launch an entirely new mobile-social gaming platform next year.
The goal is to combine the best parts of the GREE platform in Japan with those of OpenFeint and built a single network that reaches more than 1 billion Asian and Western users. It’s slated to launch by the middle of next year.
GREE, which originally said it would keep its Japanese platform and its Western-oriented side separate, says it’s not taking cues from rival DeNA in building a unified global gaming network.
“To clarify, this is not a combined platform, it is a new platform leveraging assets from both the GREE and OpenFeint ecosystems,” the company’s senior vice president of marketing an developer relations Eros Resmini tells us.
