Zynga brings Words With Friends and Draw Something to Nokia Lumia and Windows Phone
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Espoo, Finland - Nokia and Zynga announce a new partnership to bring Zynga's hit
games to Nokia Lumia smartphones and Windows Phones during autumn 2012,
including Words With Friends and Draw Something.
For a two-month period following launch, the titles will be available only
through 'Nokia Collection' to Nokia consumers, after which both games will be
made available to all Windows Phone consumers via Marketplace.
The announcement underlines Nokia's focus on delivering great, exclusive app and
gaming experiences to Nokia Lumia consumers around the world. With 100,000 apps
available today in Windows Phone Marketplace, Zynga's Words With Friends and
Draw Something will join other great mobile gaming experiences available on the
Windows Phone platform.
After launching in February 2012, Draw Something quickly and organically grew to
become an international hit. The game is built for collaboration between friends
-- one player draws a picture of a chosen word and the other must guess the word
correctly before taking their turn at drawing. Players earn coins by guessing
pictures correctly and can earn new shades of color to draw even brighter, more
eye-popping pictures. Draw Something recently launched in 12 additional
languages. At its launch, Draw Something for Windows Phone will be available in
Traditional and Simplified Chinese as well as English.
Words With Friends is a word building game that challenges players to create the
highest-scoring words while playing against family and friends or random
opponents. Players can be engaged in up to 20 games at once and are able to
communicate with each other through an in-game chat feature. Words With Friends
is a part of the With Friends franchise of mobile social games by Zynga.
"We're delighted to bring these two key games to Nokia Lumia and Windows Phone
consumers. The Windows Phone Metro UI will deliver an outstanding user
experience to consumers, adding more great gaming titles to our rapidly growing
portfolio from leading publishers," said Bryan Biniak, VP, Global Partnering &
Application Development, Nokia.
"Zynga focuses on bringing fun, social, and high-quality mobile social games
across platforms and devices so players can enrich their play anywhere and
anytime," said David Ko, Chief Mobile Officer for Zynga. "We constantly strive
to listen to our players who help us focus on the platforms where they want to
play. By partnering with top global brands such as Nokia and Windows Phone, we
are able to reach more players with our franchise games."
