Infernum Productions, game publisher based in Berlin and
developer
Runewaker Entertainment, best-known for their
highly-successful title “Runes of Magic”, have signed a
license agreement for the fantasy MMORPG “
Dragon’s Prophet”. With this
agreement, Infernum secures the free-to-play title’s
operating and marketing rights for Europe and Turkey. The online
game, which has now entered the last stage of development, will be
released next year, initially in German, English and French with
other language versions to follow.
Dragon’s Prophet takes free-to-play titles
to a new level with its array of content and distinctive features.
It combines all virtues of a classic MMORPG and simultaneously
manages to represent this genre’s evolution to offer players
an epic adventure set in a deep fantasy world.
At this point,
Runewaker and Infernum’s management can look back on
long years of cooperation. Infernum’s CEO Andreas Weidenhaupt
comments: “With
Runewaker’s first title, “Runes of
Magic,” which I licensed back in 2008 and was marketed
together with Frogster later on, we succeeded in establishing the
title as a successful and award-winning MMO, worldwide. With
Dragon’s Prophet,
Runewaker are now developing their newest blockbuster
title and I am convinced that we will repeat this success story. We
are very proud of this license.
Runewaker’s trust in Infernum clearly shows that our
positioning is just right.”
John Tang,
Runewaker’s CEO explains, “We are excited to
announce our partnership with Infernum. They are a very experienced
team of passionate professionals who are able to successfully
develop
Dragon’s Prophet as a brand on the European
market. With their focus on building a strong community, we hope to
deepen the relationship between players, publisher, and developer
to create an innovative and immersive online world. Runewaker are
looking forward to the cooperation with Infernum in bringing a
truly unique gaming experience to the players.”
Right from the start,
Dragon’s Prophet will offer a vast scope of
content. The world will be inhabited by hundreds of dragons, which
players can tame, train and battle alongside. Furthermore, they can
use their emerging symbiotic link to benefit from special dragon
skills, from flying on their backs and entering into combat, both
air-bound and on the ground. Furthermore, MMO players will be
delighted by the frontier and housing systems which feature
cross-server guild battles for areas and resources as well as the
fluid action-based combat system.
