Chunghwa Telecom has entered into a collaboration with Ubitus, the technology leader in deploying cloud-enabled rich media services, launching GameNow to it subscribers. The cloud gaming service will enable Chunghwa Telecoms' 4G LTE subscribers to play many classic games on their mobile phones and tablets. The service is currently being offered free for the first 30 minutes of gameplay to get players to try them out.
Through GameNow users can experience many gaming classics on their mobile phones or tablets, such as games that require the player to exercise their thinking capabilities to progress in the game (Ethan: Meteor Hunter), where the player controls a mouse with the powers to freeze time and control objects from a distance to progress in the game. There are also high adrenalin motor-racing games such as Superstars V8 Next Challenge, SBK X - Superbike World Championship, WRC 4 -- FIA World Rally Championship, and others.
Besides that, there are strategy tower-defense games such as Two Worlds Castle Defense, where players take on the role of commanders of a military organization on a fictitious continent to defend a castle against foreign invaders. Other hot games are also scheduled to be launched in summer this year.
"Since Ubitus was established, it had been generating record-breaking achievements and receiving industry recognition in the US, Japan, and South Korea. Everyone in Taiwan has been eagerly looking forward for the provision of the 4G LTE network, and for it to become more stable and mature. 4G LTE's stable and high speed quality will be more suitable for HD cloud games. We are currently very honored to be able to work with Chunghwa Telecom, and we hope that our cooperation shall provide players with the best cloud gaming services. Going forward, we will continue to improve our service quality on a deeper scale, and jointly develop a broader gaming market."
