Who can know better about the wildlife than the National Geographic! This Discovery channel is apparently working in association with Capcorn to roll out five exciting games on mobile phones. These games will also be equipped with educational content to combine work and play for users.
Speaking about the new venture, National Geographic’s Paul Levine commented, “Our Interactive Platforms division continues to field a broad array of highly engaging and entertaining consumer products with universal appeal across multiple platforms, incorporating the best of National Geographic’s mission, brands and franchises. Millions of families and gamers of all ages around the globe are playing our games on consoles, handhelds, mobile phones and online, and we are thrilled to work with such creative and innovative partners to deliver next-generation ‘AAA’ titles and virtual experiences to our global audiences.”
The platform to be used is still kept under wraps, however, it is rumored that along with iPhone other devices will also be compatible with the game. Apart from entertaining players these games will act as a medium to spread awareness for the betterment of the planet. Black Bean Games, Smart Bomb Interactive and RealNetworks are other partners of the channel.
Although there is no official information provided, users will definitely look forward to this undertaking.
