San Francisco, CA — Today at CTIA Wireless I.T. & Entertainment 2007, Glu Mobile Inc. (Nasdaq: GLUU), a leading global publisher of mobile games, unveiled its line-up of forthcoming original titles, slated to launch through the first half of 2008. Glu's diverse games portfolio includes titles based on globally recognized world-class brands from partners including Activision, Harrah's, Hasbro, Warner Bros. and Microsoft, as well as award-winning original games, from the company's studios in London, San Mateo and Beijing.
"As more consumers play mobile games and become comfortable with the experience downloading content to their mobile phone, the market becomes more mature and less reliant on a well-known brand to drive trial and purchase," said Jill Braff, senior vice president of global publishing, Glu. "We've seen great critical and commercial success with original titles such as Super K.O. Boxing!, Brain Genius and My Hangman, and our '08 lineup of original titles builds on the creativity and execution excellence we've established."
"Glu has a track record of bringing engaging, quality games that appeal to a broad audience of mobile gamers," said Tammy Robinson, manager of broadband/wireless downloadable content for Verizon Wireless. "Glu's 2008 lineup should be smashing!"
Today's announcement follows the company's most recent original IP title launch, White House Rumble, which allows players to don the gloves and step into the boxing ring, opposing a cast of over-the-top cartoon characters including many of today's most public of political figures and presidential contenders.
