Dedicated KONAMI Production Team to Bring Highly Successful Dragon Collection to North American Market this Fall

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – Sept 27, 2012 – Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc., today announced Dragon Collection for the all-new GREE Platform on iOS devices. Dragon Collection is an award-winning mobile social game and currently one of the biggest card battling social mobile games in Japan. The title has surpassed an incredible 6.5 million domestic registered users and will be available in the North America market for the very first time this fall.

“We are pleased to introduce the popular Dragon Collection to the North American market, exemplifying our dedication to providing engaging experiences to the rapidly expanding social and mobile platforms, including the newly announced GREE platform,” said Tomoyuki Tsuboi, President of Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc.

Dragon Collection is a card game that has players embarking on a fantastical journey in pursuit of the legendary Dragon Cards. The title will feature all new monsters designed exclusively for the North American version of the game, while including the core gameplay modes in the original title, such as Quest (players explore the Dragon World), Battle (players battle villains and rival players), Gacha (players compete for a random prize), and Fusion (players strengthen by merging favorite monsters). With a well balanced design that allows both old and new gamers to pick up and play, Dragon Collection also incorporates in-game events and campaigns that evolve based on user’s requests and opinions.

Social engagement is a key element in Dragon Collection as players either fight each other as rivals, or bridge each other as allies with simple taps. The more friends the user has, the better the advantages they will benefit from. Players can also earn points by cheering other players and helping friends beat large enemies. Dragon Collection has won various awards, including “Japan Game Awards: 2011 Future Division,” from the Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association (CESA).

Dragon Collection will be available this Fall on the App Store for the GREE Platform.
