CDC Games licensed Digimon RPG from SK Telecom, a mobile telecommunications operator in South Korea. Digimon was launched more than four years ago in Korea by its developer, Digitalic.
"We are very excited about the launch of Digimon RPG in the world's largest online games market," said Yongbo Cho, Convergence Game Business team leader, SK Telecom. "With CDC Games' impressive games infrastructure in that country and its successful track record in the free-to-play online games market there, we believe Digimon RPG will be very successful in China."
According to the company, Digimon RPG is based on a series of the Japanese animated television shows called Digimon Adventure, Digimon Adventure 02, Digimon Tamers, Digimon Frontier and Digimon Savers, produced by Toei Animation. The Japanese animated series of media and merchandise includes a cartoon series, anime, manga-style comics, toys, trading card games and other media. Digimon has been a TV series running on various channels in China since 2001. Currently, the first two seasons, Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02, can be seen on six channels throughout China, including an all-cartoon channel based in Shanghai that has a market reach of more than 100 million viewers in 20 cities.
As part of the game, players collect and train virtual monsters called Digimon and battle other players. First, players select characters that include Tamers (e.g., Henry Wong or Rika Nonaka) and a starter Digimon (e.g., Gigimon or Gummymon). Then the Digimon battle other monsters until they reach level eleven, where they can begin capturing other Digimon. To enhance their chances of successfully capturing more Digimon, players can purchase nets from the online store. There, they can also purchase character enhancements for their Digimon and clothing for their avatar. Players can also trade with each other, the company said.
"We are very excited to launch Digimon RPG, a major new "green" online game for gamers in China," said, John Huen, chief operating officer of CDC Games. "We expect the TV series airing in China will help to further heighten awareness for Digimon RPG and help position this healthy and non-violent online game for growth in the world's largest online market."
