In the Korean market, Nexon Mobile and Mikoishi have joined hands to launch a new mobile game, dubbed Steam Iron: The Fallen, for 3G users. It is a true online RTS game that delivers a Starcraft-like experience and flawless multiplayer gameplay.
The first installment in the Steam Iron franchise, this newest mobile game offers real-time head-2-head gameplay, featuring Mikoishi’s Theatre engine for unique spectator and television broadcast capabilities
“Steam Iron: the Fallen, is another example of the unique interactive entertainment products Mikoishi is producing. By leveraging Theatre’s real-time broadcast and spectator features we developed for our PC online games we can now incorporate these unique features to our mobile product line thus enabling closer co-operation with traditional media,†mentioned Alex Goatcher, Chief Creative Officer of Mikoishi.
Joonmo Kwon, Nexon Mobile’s CEO, expressed, “The Korean pro-gaming and e-sports market was born out of the overwhelming popularity of RTS games such as Blizzard’s Starcraft. We are confident that Steam Iron, with its seamless multiplayer gameplay, will appeal to the Korean gamer and will definitely generate a new generation of mobile game RTS fans. The initial buzz for Steam Iron as the “first real authentic RTS mobile game†has been extremely positive.â€
Players can get their hands on the Steam Iron: The Fallen mobile game by late April in Europe and by later this year in the US, China and Taiwan. The Steam Iron 2 mobile is slated to launch in Korea in November 2008.
