TAIPEI, Feb. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- GigaMedia Limited
(NASDAQ: GIGM) today announced that the Company has released four
Role-Playing games at the end of December
2014. One is for PC-based players and the other three are
for mobile game players. For mobile games, players can play them on
iOS or Android. The most popular one among the four games has
attracted more than 40,000 members per month since its release. And
it was even listed on top 10 of Google Play's latest popular games
in Taiwan. Its pay ratio for the
month of January was at about 4.4% and its ARPU (Average Rate Per
User) was NTD5,000 (equivalent to about US$157). The other games' average ARPU for the
month of January was about NTD1,500 (equivalent to about
US$47), which was considered an
adequate performance in the Taiwan
mobile game market.
Before the Chinese spring festival, the Company will launch
another new game which is a 3D anime-style RPG and will enable the
players to enjoy both the visual and the audio effects when
playing. The background of the game's contents is epic alike.
Players play the role as savior of the doomsday to experience a
series of adventures for saving the world. Besides, players can not
only choose five hero characters at a time to forge an alliance but
also invite their friends to play together in a team at the same
time. The Company believes that this 3D anime-style RPG will
attract more diversified players and hopefully outperform for a
success. This new game will be available for both iOS and Android
devices upon its official release.
In summary, the Company will have five games, including the new 3D anime-style
RPG, available on the market for
players in February; moreover, will continue to increase marketing
for more exposure for the incoming Chinese
New Year's holidays in order to acquire more players and
better the revenue.
