ABANDON INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT
LAUNCHES NEW CROSS-PLATFORM MMO GAME FREAKY CREATURES
Freaky Creatures Starter Packs
Now Available Nationwide for $19.99
Abandon Interactive Entertainment
today announced the release of Freaky Creatures, the massively multiplayer
online (MMO) game available on PC, MAC and mobile.
Freaky Creatures combines the best
of online multiplayer gaming, collectible action figures, virtual worlds and
social networking. The Freaky Creatures experience begins with a starter pack
that includes two action figures and a one gigabyte reusable flash drive that
unlocks the Freaky Creatures universe. Each starter pack also comes with 50
different parts, 20 powers and four objects that can be placed into the
creature’s lair.
Players can then bring their
creatures to life online and customize them with rare parts and powers to create
one out of 3.2 billion possible combinations. Once players have created their
custom creature, they can jump straight into battle or build a lair within which
they can care for their creature or hang out and socialize with friends. Gamers
are encouraged to visit the community to personalize their homepage, play
mini-games, join tournaments, check leaderboards, trade items, read animated
comics, enter contests and much more in the ever expanding Freaky Creatures
universe.
"From the beginning, Abandon has
been committed to creating a multi-faceted entertainment adventure. We created
an experience that is accessible to the amateur MMO player, but also offers
enough in-depth gameplay to appeal to the hardcore gamer," said Jamie Ottilie,
President and COO of Abandon Interactive Entertainment. "As a completely unique
and original IP, bringing Freaky Creatures to market has truly been a labor of
love, and we’re thrilled to share the end result with the gaming community."
In addition, Abandon Interactive
Entertainment has teamed up with the Starlight Children’s Foundation to
spearhead the launch of Freaky Creatures, donating a portion of the sales of
Freaky Creatures starter packs to Starlight’s "Great Escapes" program
benefitting local children’s hospitals nationwide. The foundation gives
terminally ill children and their families the chance to partake in fun
activities in a friendly, accepting environment, including movie screenings,
circus trips, mother and daughter makeovers, sporting events, picnics and more.
