National Geographic Games (NGG) in the US has collaborated with Oberon Media, a multiplatform casual games company, to launch its first online subscription-based gaming portal, games.nationalgeographic.com.
The branded portal features a mix of online and multiplayer games that consumers can download on a free trial basis or purchase. They can also subscribe to a monthly games package for a fee.
The portal aims to extend National Geographic’s core mission to 'inspire people to care about the planet' through interactive gaming experiences across multiple platforms. The new National Geographic gaming portal also goes beyond conventional online casual gaming and offers players a community in which they can create personal avatars and interact socially as they play.
National Geographic Interactive Platforms Group senior VP Paul Levine says, "This partnership extends our reach to a whole new generation of video game players and families. Our branded game portal allows consumers to easily play fun games based on National Geographic’s core themes and media properties as well as dozens of other well-known games. The community features integrated into the portal will expand and enhance gamers’ play experiences and overall connection with the National Geographic brand."
