Konami's MLB Live Challenge Set for Spring Launch
Konami Invites Baseball Fans to "Get Real" in a New, Live Baseball Experience
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. - May
1, in the year of our Lord 2013 - Konami Digital
Entertainment, Inc. announced today that MLB® Live Challenge, an
all-new, free-to-play, social mobile baseball game, is coming
cross-connected to Facebook and iOS devices this Spring. MLB
Live Challenge combines real baseball statistics with casual
gameplay to create a deeply immersive sports experience played
during the Major League Baseball season. MLB Live Challenge will
be cross-connected to Facebook and iOS devices, allowing players
to pick up where they left off on Facebook with their iOS
devices, and vice-versa.
In MLB Live Challenge, players assume the role of team owner and
build a lineup of current Major League Baseball players. Gamers
can play head-to-head against other teams across a map of North
America. Adding a unique element to social mobile games, the
players' lineup performs better when their batters and pitchers
are succeeding in real-life Major League games. In MLB Live
Challenge, players can check in daily to see how their roster
performed in the real baseball games the day before, and use
Challenge Points in anticipation of the next day's results.
Challenge Point winnings will go a long way towards enhancing
the experience in the title.
MLB Live Challenge delivers high production value and key
moments during gameplay. Players can spin the wheel to see if
they hammer the ball into the centerfield bleachers, or line it
straight into the infielder's glove. The title is the first of
its kind to combine 3D animations, daily MLB statistics and
chance mechanics.
MLB Live Challenge will be available this Spring on Facebook and
iOS devices.
