Gameloft Announces Licensing Deal
With Wrestling Superstar Hulk Hogan
Hulkamania Fever High with
Gameloft’s ‘Hulkamania Wrestling’
Gameloft, a leading publisher and
developer of video games for mobile phones, is pleased to announce a licensing
agreement with legendary wrestling icon, Hulk Hogan. The deal, negotiated
through Hogan’s marketing agent, Darren Prince of Prince Marketing Group, brings
one of wrestling’s most popular personalities to mobile gaming. Hulkamania
Wrestling will give fans the chance to experience an amazing amount of legendary
holds in wild wrestling beat downs, and the power of the people’s champ, Hulk
Hogan, right in the palm of their hands.
“We are excited to be expanding the
Gameloft family of licenses into the wrestling genre and are delighted to do so
with a man as renowned as the legendary Hulk Hogan,” said Gonzague de Vallois,
senior vice president of Publishing, Gameloft. “Wrestling fans are fanatical
about having access to their favorite sport and our new Hulkamania Wrestling
will let them enjoy it everywhere.”
“Hulkamania is alive and well and
I’m excited to give my fans a mobile game that is true to my experiences in
wrestling,” said Hulk Hogan. “I’m confident that Gameloft will inject their
signature style to produce the ultimate wrestling game for all my fans to enjoy
on the go.”
Backed by the iconic power of Hulk
Hogan himself and featuring a 3D isometric view that provides total immersion
into the ring, Hulkamania Wrestling gives fans a realistic wrestling beat-down,
complete with eccentric wrestlers, jabs and humorous dialogue. With an amazing
number of no-holds-barred moves, players can take down their opponents with bone
crushing efficiency through the use of such classics as the Strong Clothesline,
Spinbuster, Pedigree, Doublehand Choke Lift and more.
Not only will players get the
opportunity to play as wrestling legend, Hulk Hogan, but they’ll be able to take
on seven of wrestling’s other crazy stars, all with different looks and
wrestling styles. Just like in the actual ring, players will be able to use
their environments – hurl chairs or throw opponents on tables – to completely
dominate their opponents and claim the Hulkamania Wrestling Ring as their own!
Hulkamania Wrestling will make its
way to the wrestling ring on your mobile phone in August 2008.
