ANNO 1701 mobile will be launched at the same time as the anxiously awaited ANNO 1701 PC version of the game on October 26, 2006. The mobile phone strategy game offers virtually unlimited gaming fun to go with original graphics and sounds from ANNO 1701. The real hit: the game can be connected up with the PC version so that points picked up underway can be transmitted from the mobile phone to the computer. ANNO 1701 mobile was produced in cooperation with Keyfactor, the communications and production company, developer Twistbox Games and the D???sseldorf-based mobile specialists, Kaasa solution.
ANNO 1701 mobile is a rounds-based strategy game with entertaining mini games staged in a fictitious island world: In the name of the Queen, the player defends the interests of the crown in distant colonies in the north. There he explores islands, mines raw materials and helps his people to attain prosperity and security. But the competition is not asleep: Enemy nations are already on the way to exploit the riches of the New World. And soon a ruthless battle breaks out for land, raw materials and power!
Gamers who also play the PC version of ANNO 1701 are now able to transfer the points (bonus coins) they have won on their mobile phones directly to the PC game and to exchange them for goods. So now "ADholics" can stay in the AD world even when they??????re on the move and secure bonus points for the PC game at the same time. Nevertheless, the ANNO 1701 mobile game is an independent mobile phone strategy game and offers loads of gaming fun even without the PC game.
ANNO 1701 mobile is the first game of its kind in Europe to allow a direct connection to the PC game. Data is exchanged between the PC and the mobile phone via WAP and the Internet. Players without WAP and an Internet-compatible mobile phone can use a special code to transfer their points from the mobile game to the PC game.
The market launch of ANNO 1701 mobile is scheduled for October 26 this year. The game will cost EUR 4.99 and will be sold internationally via network operators and portals.
ANNO 1701 mobile was developed by Twistbox Games, the game design comes from Keyfactor, and the publisher is Kaasa solution GmbH.
