San Francisco, December 11, 2014 –
Kabam, a world leader in free-to-play games for traditional players,
has partnered with Marvel Entertainment to bring the expansive Marvel
Universe to mobile gamers worldwide with Marvel Contest of Champions, now available for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Android devices. Marvel Contest of Champions players
will build and manage a team of heroes and villains from across the
Marvel Universe, their team gaining bonuses based on character
affiliations taken straight from Marvel Comics.
“Marvel Contest of Champions stays
true to classic Marvel storytelling with big threats, heroic moments,
and shocking revelations wrapped into a game that is not only easy to
pick-up and play, but is also fun,” said Cuz Parry, Kabam’s Creative
Director for Marvel Contest of Champions. “The development team
is a huge fan of Marvel, and we’re proud to deliver an epic game that we
know fans will be psyched to play.”
Marvel Contest of Champions, developed by Kabam’s Vancouver Studio and penned by Marvel Comics writer Sam Humphries (The Legendary Star-Lord),
is a high-action, high-fidelity Super Hero combat game for mobile
devices. In the game, players assume the role of Earth’s representative
in a cosmic battle of epic proportions, organized by The Collector
against super villains such as Kang the Conqueror and Thanos, and the
ultimate brawl for untold power.
“It
was awesome working with Kabam to develop a unique storyline for a
video game that stays true to the Marvel Universe,” said Sam Humphries,
Marvel Comics writer and author of the Marvel Contest of Champions mobile game. “Watching the heroes and villains come to life as playable characters on my phone is beyond epic.”
“We could not be more excited about Marvel Contest of Champions,”
stated Jay Ong, VP of Games, Marvel Entertainment. “The team at Kabam
has done an amazing job of translating the heroic combat and dynamic
visuals that Marvel fans know and love into an action-packed gameplay
experience for mobile devices.”
