Infront Sports & Media and F4 have announced the launch of " Empire of Sports" - a major online sports gaming platform. Combining their deep understanding of sports and expertise in game development in a new joint-venture company, they aim to introduce the world to an entirely new genre of online sports gaming.
Empire of Sports (EoS) is the world`s first massive multi-player online role-playing game platform (MMORPG) built entirely around sports. It is designed to allow millions of players around the world to simultaneously exist in a persistent online universe, where their avatars socially interact, train, compete, attend events and acquire the goods and services they need to build a parallel sporting existence.
An innovative approach to bring a revolutionary experience to gamers
Building on the unprecedented rise of persistent gaming worlds like World of Warcraft, Empire of Sports opens up a completely new realm to gamers and online users: the exciting and thrilling world of sports. In the centre of the gamer`s attention is its virtual representation in the sports world, the avatar or player character. The player assumes the role of a single player character throughout the entire game, which will result in an up to now unimagined gaming experience especially in team sports.
"This is the first-ever virtual online multi-sports world with role-playing elements", said Christian Muller, Managing Director of the new joint venture. "There are single sport online games but no one has seamlessly integrated multiple games around the entire sports lifestyle. The user becomes a 3D avatar, capable of developing his or her virtual body, skills and capabilities through sport and training all-the-while socialising within the Empire of Sports community. We have built this game from the ground up to be a fun and competitive environment while meeting your friends and making new ones. And in Empire of Sports, everyone can become a sports star."
A series of sports games to create a unique gaming world
Among the high quality multi player sports games available at the launch of Empire of Sports will be basketball, tennis, skiing and a series of fitness and training games. Other major games will be announced as the platform develops. The controls will be easily accessible even to non-gamers and all games can be played by millions of players / teams at the same time.
"The game will first and foremost be fun for everybody. Casual gamers will find quick entertainment, while hardcore gamers will be able to immerse in a vast universe of specialisation and customisation unmatched by any other MMORPG out there", said Nic van `t Schip, Head of Community Management. He added, "On the community side of things we are going to revolutionise the MMO scene. We will give our users the power and tools to create their own competitive sports environment while offering a series of organised high profile tournaments and competitions."
