Relentless
continues to invest in self-published projects
Relentless
Software® announced today the formal launch of a new Digital
Division to expand its self-published digital distribution model. The company
from Brighton continues to support its future as an expert in social and casual
gaming, anticipating trends in the ever-changing market.
The new Digital Division is a
successful part of the company already: Blue Toad Murder Files™: The Mysteries
of Little Riddle was recently included in the Top 25 games on the PlayStation
Network and has sold over 250,000 episodes. Additionally, Quiz
Climber™, the addictive social quiz for iPhone, hit 1 million games played
three months after launch and has had over 10 million questions answered. This
demonstrates the potential of social games and the ability of Relentless to
achieve success in this area.
Andrew Eades, Executive Director said:
“The Digital division in Relentless has
been established as a separate division that reports to me as CEO. We're
serious about social and mobile games and that's why we have taken the logical
step to separate these activities from the Console business.” He continues: “We've hired James Wright as Executive
Producer who has a decade of experience in developing and publishing mobile
games and has been involved in a number of top ten tittles including Draw Race
2. Our original IP will be steered from the Digital division and already
includes Blue Toad Murder Files and Quiz
Climber.”
Relentless recently hired James Wright,
commented:
“The formalisation of the
Digital Division is a valuable starting point to take over from Relentless’
self-publishing strategy. It will bring more fun, accessible and ground-breaking titles across
several platforms for non-gamers.” Mr. Wright was working at EA prior to
joining Relentless Software.
Relentless continues to invest in
self-published projects launching Quiz
Climber™: Rivals in December and also a new version for the world’s largest
TV network: PlayJam. They are also working on other unannounced projects,
demonstrating Relentless’ commitment with non-gamers.
