e-Games launches mobile games for RAN Online, Granado Espada

IP E-Game Ventures Inc. (e-Games), the online gaming subsidiary of publicly listed IPVG Corp., together with Megamobile, IPVG’s mobile application developer, and 3D animation studio BeeHive digital announced the release of new mobile Java games for its top online role playing game titles.

e-Games is releasing three mobile games for its school-based 3D MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) RAN Online, and another three mobile games for Granado Espada, the 3D MMORPG from famed legendary game producer Hakkyu Kim.

While most mobile games are created with a world audience in mind, these new mobile games were created exclusively for the Philippine market.

Manny Fernando, Megamobile president, said e-Games will be one of the first online gaming publishers to bring gaming titles to mobile phones.

He said the popularity of e-Games titles is immense and these mobile games are just perfect for the players who can’t get enough of RAN Online and Granado Espada. 

Each game is uniquely designed with different fighting moves and strategies to defeat opponents.  

Unlike their online gaming format, the mobile Java version was adopted to be more of a casual and fun single player game.

“By bringing the titles to mobile phones, e-Games can continue engaging the gamers with their favorite titles even when their off-line. Since most of the Filipinos have mobile phones, we feel that it’s logical to extend their gaming experience to a small screen format,” Fernando said. 

Using Java-enabled phones, the mobile games can be downloaded via WAP or SMS.

The mobile games are:

• Karuso’s Escape. Control Karuso and fight your way out of the Dungeon and go head to head with Evil Max in the Final Stage.

• RAN Girls’ Jealousy. Stop Mica and her female friends from spreading nasty rumors about you. Let the fight begin.

• Swordsman. Help the mysterious Swordsman to defeat the evil Leenakt and free his soul.

• Little Red Riding Elementalist. The big, bad wolf is out to get Little Red Riding Elementalist. Use your punches and your kicks to stop the wolf.

• Musketeer’s Wrath. Avenge your family and kill Raptor with your mastered skill of gun fighting and brawls.

• GE Girls’ Fight. Fight with all your might and stop Garette from conquering your clan. 

Ed Pasion, e-Games vice president for marketing, said these mobile games based on the hit gaming titles will also reach players new to online gaming.

“These exclusively developed mobile games will keep our current players entertained and wanting for more. But more importantly they will reach new players who have yet to experience the incredible virtual worlds of RAN Online and Granado Espada. Our mobile games will provide them a glimpse of how utterly fun our titles are,” he said.
