Last month we told you about GREE’s (TYO:3632) plans to offer a new global gaming platform, and this morning the company has announced some more details about that that initiative might entail.
The new platform, which will become available in Q2 2012, the new platform will offer a single-sign-on solution for users, as well as a global payment solution, this according to GREE’s announcement. The company’s CEO Yoshikazu Tanaka explained:
This new GREE platform continues to show the commitment we have to building a truly global, free-to-play ecosystem for mobile developers. Our goal is to offer the best social gaming experience to players around the world… GREE worldwide has the largest cross-platform network and this is a step closer to our goal of reaching one billion users.
As far as previews go, that’s still pretty stingy on details (does the platform have a name?) and we’ve reached out to GREE to find out more. But GREE has been rapidly expanding (as has its rival DeNA), and making game development easier across borders and platforms should help it grow.
GREE claims over 150 million registered gamers worldwide, after its acquisition of Open Feint earlier this year.
