In Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, gamers take on the role of Talion, a valiant ranger whose family is slain in front of him the night Sauron and his army return to Mordor, moments before his own life is taken. Resurrected by a Spirit of vengeance and empowered with Wraith abilities, Talion ventures into Mordor and vows to destroy those who have wronged him.  Through the course of his personal vendetta, Talion uncovers the truth of the Spirit that compels him, learns the origins of the Rings of Power and ultimately confronts his true nemesis.

“In Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, players will explore the dark and very personal theme of vengeance in a world where decisions have a consequence, and those consequences persist even after death,” said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President, Production and Development, Warner Bros.

Every enemy that players face is a unique individual, differentiated by their personality, strengths and weaknesses. Through the Nemesis System, enemy relationships and characteristics are shaped by player actions and decisions to create personal archenemies that remember and adapt to the player and are distinct to every gameplay session. Gamers are able to craft their own battles, enemies and rewards within the dynamic world that remembers and adapts to their choices, delivering a unique experience to every player.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is under development by Monolith Productions. The team has collaborated with Middle-earth Enterprises, Peter Jackson and the artists at Weta Workshop to ensure that the settings, characters and story align authentically within canon.

GAMEVIL continues record overseas growth for Q3 2013

LOS ANGELES, CA- November 12, 2013- Leading mobile games publisher and developer GAMEVIL announced its 2013 third quarter results today, reporting record overseas (outside of Korea) sales of 12.2 billion KRW ($11.4 million USD).

In the third fiscal quarter of 2013, GAMEVIL recorded 21 billion KRW ($19.6 million USD) in sales, 1.9 billion KRW ($1.8 million USD) in operating profit, and 1.8 billion KRW ($1.7 million USD) in net profit – this reflected a 26% increase in sales as compared to the prior year. However, there was a decrease in operating and net profit due to increased third party royalties and investments in talent acquisition.

The quarter is noted for its highest overseas sales to date. GAMEVIL recorded 12.2 billion KRW ($11.4 million USD) in overseas sales, which resulted in a 108% increase over the previous year’s results for the same quarter. In particular, the company saw growth in the greater China region with a steep 46% increase in sales compared to the previous quarter.

GAMEVIL attributes its growth in core genre sales to its live services. Titles such as ‘Monster Warlord’ and ‘Fishing Superstars’, which have currently been in the market for more than 16 months, have continued to do well in the box office. Through constant updates and live events, sales have increased 20% compared to the previous quarter. With titles such as ‘Dark Avenger’ and ‘Perfect Inning 2013 KBO’ growing as well, GAMEVIL is finding success in the mid-core space, recording higher ARPU and revenues than ever before.

In order to consolidate the foundation for future growth, GAMEVIL also showed a full range of investments this year, which included equity investments and acquisitions, talent acquisition, and overseas expansion. In particular, the Com2uS acquisition established a major stepping-stone going forward by combining the game development and global publishing capabilities of Com2uS and GAMEVIL, respectively. Going forward, GAMEVIL looks to capitalize on the potential of both companies’ global platforms, Com2uS Hub and GAMEVIL Circle, by creating global synergy through collaboration, cross-promotion, and other events.

For the next quarter, GAMEVIL plans to expand on its success by releasing a variety of highly anticipated titles. Following the success of recently launched fantasy puzzle RPG, ‘Spirit Stones’, GAMEVIL will be releasing 10 blockbuster titles, which includes the anticipated Full-Network MORPG ‘ZENONIA Online’. By doing so, GAMEVIL hopes to finish the year strong and to solidify itself as a leading global publisher.
