Namco Bandai Launches Sky Gamblers For iOS5 and iPhone 4S

Leading video game publisher and developer NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc., today announced that Sky Gamblers™: Rise of Glory, developed by Revo Solutions, is now available on the App Store, coinciding with this week’s release of iOS 5 and iPhone 4S. Taking advantage of the newly released features of iOS 5 and soon to be released features of iPhone 4S, the 3D World War I (WWI) aerial combat simulator puts players in the pilot seat as they immerse themselves in intense single-player or 8-player real-time multiplayer action.

Available for $4.99 as a universal app on the iPad and iPhone, the game takes advantage of the iOS 5 major software update, specifically AirPlay Mirroring, iCloud and Twitter integration. With AirPlay Mirroring, players can fly through the missions with spectators watching the action on their HDTV using Apple TV. Cockpit controls, game stats and scores are displayed to the user on the iPad 2 or iPhone 4S screen while friends and family get involved in all the high-definition glory on the big screen.

iCloud implementation allows players to wirelessly access their saved data, including unlocked levels and stats, planes and achievements from shared devices. Direct Twitter integration encourages players to tweet stats or messages without having to leave the app.

"NAMCO BANDAI is consistently at the forefront of technology as new devices and features are released to market," noted Carlson Choi, Vice President of Marketing, NAMCO BANDAI Games America. "By engaging fans and community via social aspects like direct Twitter integration and Sky Gamblers: Rise of Glory’s intense online dogfighting, it gives them a rewarding experience beyond just gaming."
