Real Football 2009

Dubai, UAE – October 28, 2008 – Gameloft today announced the release of Real Football 2009, the latest edition of the highly successful football franchise, on Nokia N-Gage. The announcement, made at the Dubai World Game Expo, where N-Gage is platinum sponsor and prime participant, further cements the growing relationship between the two companies.

The Real Football series has been the best rated mobile football simulation game for the past five years. The 2009 edition allows players to choose from 12 stadiums and six leagues featuring 200 separate teams, as well five gaming modes ranging from the Leagues and Cups, to exhibition, penalty kicks and training. The game also features a dynamic replay system to give players control of how they view the action. New to Real Football ‘09 are realistic player behaviours and a 360° gaming experience utilising high-quality 3D graphics and realistic sound effects.

Gameloft has secured the FIFpro licence to include real player names in the title and the official licence of the Spanish Liga. The game also bridges the gap between ‘football gaming’ and ‘football reality’ with Cesc Fabregas - who played an integral part in helping Spain win the 2008 UEFA European Championship - as the cover athlete of the title.

“We are delighted to be announcing the release of Real Football 2009 on N-Gage at this year’s Dubai World Game Expo. With 360° player manoeuvrability this title brings an innovative approach to mobile football games we know the N-Gage community will find extremely entertaining,” stated Ludovic Blondel, OEM Director at Gameloft. “Most of all we are really excited to see the fusion of the established Real Football and N-Gage communities that this title will create for the first time.”

Gregory Horoupian, Nokia Games Business Manager for Middle East & Africa noted, “Given the popularity of the football genre throughout the game space in the Middle East and Africa, and the interest we’ve seen in N-Gage in this region, the unique gaming experience that Real Football 09 can provide on the N-Gage platform will easily transcend the various languages and cultures and deliver yet another great, connected mobile gaming experience.”

Gregg Sauter, Director of Third Party Publishing, Nokia commented: ““It's great to see Real Football 09 launched on the N-Gage platform. As a sport, football is the world's most popular, and as a game, Real Football will be tough to beat. With great gameplay and superb quality graphics, we expect this game to bring a new level of sports excellence and realism to the platform.”
