IN-FUSIO the leading mobile game publisher and pioneer in the concept of downloadable games for wireless phones, today announced it has furthered its position in the U.S. mobile market and has opened an office in Los Angeles. The company, which has the largest share of the mobile games market in Europe and is one of the leaders in China, now provides titles and value added service to carriers worldwide, including Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, Vodafone, Orange, SFR, Telefonica Moviles and China Mobile.
"The U.S. market has quickly matured, presenting tremendous opportunities for wireless carriers to take advantage of IN-FUSIO's offerings and managed services," said Gilles Raymond, co-CEO and founder of IN-FUSIO. "With our experience and success in launching mobile gaming in Europe and China, IN-FUSIO will give our U.S. based customers the advantage of a tried and true business model and the most compelling content available today."
IN-FUSIO has already established North American distribution and has entered into major licensing agreements with a number of companies, including Microsoft, Universal Studios and Comedy Central. The acquisition of Chicago-based mobile game developer Cybiko in late 2003 also added expanded in-house capabilities, compelling licensed content and established channels through many of the leading U.S. wireless carriers.
With a portfolio of 65 diverse mobile games, IN-FUSIO is focused on offering the most brands and the highest level of player interactivity. The company's games support all major wireless development platforms including JAVA, BREW, ExEn, Symbian and iMode, giving carriers and game developers the widest audience possible, and users the best gaming experience available.
IN-FUSIO's games include original properties and licensed content from Microsoft Game Studios (exclusive worldwide deal for six games including Age of Empires 2 Gold Edition, Midtown Madness 3, Zoo Tycoon), Comedy Central (South Park), Canal Studio Image (The Terminator), Universal Studios (Jurassic Park III), Golden Tee, Rollerblade and Charmed.
