InnoGames sees 100% Growth in US, Mobile Games leading Charge

Posted: 17 Dec 2014 01:17 PM PST

InnoGames looks back on a successful 2014: The German Company will increase its overall revenue to over 100 million dollars. The United States alone grew by 100 percent compared to 2013, making them the strongest and fastest growing market worldwide. A big part of the new record turnover is due to the mobile games market, where InnoGames – formerly known for browser based games – grew more than 500 percent.

heli overview

Noteworthy is the strong performance of InnoGames' title Forge of Empires on iPhone and iPad: "That we managed to reach worldwide top rankings with one of our mobile games – Forge of Empires – is an especially positive development", explains Co-Founder and CEO Hendrik Klindworth. "On the iPad, it was one of the five most successful new strategy games this year. Given the fact that the Android release is scheduled for the beginning of 2015, we are also very optimistic for the coming year." InnoGames has demonstrated continuous growth and success over the past years.

This year, the company reached a new high in overall revenue, with growth being profitable as well. "It has always been important for us not only to grow fast, but to also do so in a sustainable manner. Achieving a significant rise in revenue and a favorable profit, we managed to fulfil these goals in 2014", says Armin Busen, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) at InnoGames. With Forge of Empires, Grepolis, Tribal Wars, The West and Tribal Wars 2, a total of five games are significantly adding to the companies' revenue.

The company added 80 new employees to grow over 350 in total during 2014.For the following year, InnoGames will grow by approximately the same figure.

"It is our goal to further conquer the mobile games market in 2015. This is where we see the biggest potential for growth", adds Klindworth. However, a high level of quality is paramount to establish a successful game in the heavily fought over mobile games market. InnoGames' employees at the new development location in Düsseldorf will help achieve this from January on.

With about 150 million registered players, InnoGames is one of the world’s leading developers and providers of online games. The Hamburg-based company employs over 350 people from 25 nations and scored major successes with the games Tribal Wars, Grepolis and Forge of Empires.

Elsword Opens Path to Darkness with Ara Haan’s Little Specter Launch Event

Posted: 17 Dec 2014 01:07 PM PST

KOG Games, a leading developer and publisher of popular free-to-play action MMORPGs, today announces the launch of the new, menacing Job path for Elsword’s 9-tailed fox character, Ara: Little Specter.

AraLittleSpecterEdit1

Ara Haan has spent every waking minute searching for a way to redeem her demon-possessed, disgraced brother. Obsessed with her goal, she's overlooked the very power that has bolstered her immense strength: Eun, the Millennium Fox Spirit. Encased within the very hairpin that Ara keeps so close, Eun writhes inside an eternal prison. Ara's ancestors confined the ancient spirit as a demon. Always striving to follow the right path, Ara finds the seal was made using the clandestine Haan family art of exorcism. The harrowing truth comes to bear… only a member of the Haan family can cast confinement upon the demons, and break that bond. The entire Haan family was annihilated by the demon army, led by her brother. Ara sets out to master the ominous art herself.

Relentless, Ara stopped at nothing to seek out the alchemist Echo, who became curious about the ancient fox spirit now sharing control of Ara's body. During the alchemist's experiments, she learned of a mystic apparatus that can project Eun's memories. This allowed her to see the exact moment when Eun was captured in the hairpin. From this vision, she learned the secret exorcism technique that her ancestors performed to create the seal and how she might break it. Ara succeeded in cultivating Eun's supernatural powers from the hairpin… and from within, an amalgamation of Ara's martial prowess and a dark, ethereal ferocity grew, and in that moment, the Dark Fox was born. With her newly acquired skills, she became widely known as the Little Specter.

Secret Exorcism Art: Night Parade of One-Hundred Souls

Unlock a Secret Skill: As Little Specter, Ara is dedicated to learning her ancestors' Exorcism Arts. As a combo, players can combo 3 new, Job specific skills in succession in order to unlock the Secret Skill. Once executed successfully, Ara jumps and disappears, then quickly reappears above the enemy last struck by Darkness Sever before crashing down on the enemy, setting off a storm of specters damaging all foes in the area.

Ara Haan Level Boost Event!
For a limited time, you can boost one base-job Ara up to Level 35 instantly (one character per account only). Just bring Ara to the village or a resting area between fields. Wait for the message to pop up then click the Level Boost button. Once you've done this, you will also receive the Level Boost Cube thru the mail!

Ara's power has grown immensely, but who is in control? The Dark Fox is only the first to cast this harrowing shadow across the land of Elrios. The beckoning howl of the Millennium Fox echoes across the underworld and shakes its denizens to the very core… Darkness is Coming!
