http://Pangya.ntreev.net/
Ntreev USA, a leading online game
developer and publisher, announced today that it has re-launched Pangya, its
popular, online casual golf game in North America. The game, previously known as
Albatross 18 in the U.S. is now in beta at
http://Pangya.ntreev.net/.
The newly launched beta includes
full game play content from Pangya’s Season 3. Before summer, Ntreev USA will
introduce Season 4 with new characters, locations, all-new customization
features and more. Members who previously had accounts for Albatross 18 will be
able to transfer their accounts over to Pangya. All accounts setup during this
beta phase will transfer over when the game launches commercially next month.
"Pangya has enjoyed worldwide
success and popularity, including its tremendous mainstream popularity in the
U.S. market," said Chris Lee, CEO at Ntreev USA. "Pangya offers a unique golf
experience that is easy to pick-up-and-play, and appeals to a wide variety of
skilled and casual players alike. We are excited that we could bring it back to
the North American players who love it."
Pangya is a casual golf game that
takes the difficult rules of golf and transforms it into an easy to pick-up
-and-play casual golf experience that a player of any skill level can enjoy.
Featuring simple and intuitive controls, Pangya allows anyone who has used
Windows to easily play with other gamers and unlike other online games; players
in Pangya are friends, not enemies!
In Pangya, players are taken to 14
gorgeous locations where they can choose one of 8 unique playable characters.
Pangya offers players an extensive customization experience with thousands of
possible combinations of costumes, accessories, equipment, golf clubs, power
boosts and more that help them to become a pro out on the green.
Pangya is free for players to
download and play, while some items in the game including certain characters,
clothing sets, new equipment and accessories will be available to purchase via
micro-transaction.
The in-game currency in Pangya,
called Pang, allows players to purchase items from the game’s shop that will
upgrade a character, provide new inventory and equipment, allows them to send
gifts to other players and more. Gamers can earn Pang by finishing a hole at par
or better, and by showcasing powerful shots.
The beta for Pangya is now
available, with a full commercial launch in May.
