Metaversum GmbH is launching a cooperation with browser games specialists Bigpoint. The first virtual Bigpoint presence will be opening in the online world Twinity on 2 February 2009, with plenty on offer for all Twinity members.
Berlin/Singapore, 1 December 2008 – Metaversum from Berlin, developer and operator of the 3D online world Twinity, today announced that a comprehensive strategic partnership has been signed with browser games specialists Bigpoint (www.bigpoint.com). The collaboration will focus on building and marketing a virtual 3D presence for Bigpoint in Twinity. This will give Twinity members a new meeting place in virtual Berlin in which to find out more about the latest browser games from Bigpoint and take part in exclusive competitions and events. The Bigpoint presence is set to become an ideal venue for all gaming fans who want to keep up to speed with all the latest developments in the world of browser games.
For the very first time, browser games fans will be able to meet up with each other in Twinity, swap views about the latest games, or discuss new gaming strategies. They will even be able to meet up and game together in Twinity, which will boost excitement levels enormously.
Posters and other special advertising measures will be implemented at selected locations in virtual Berlin to generate awareness for the Bigpoint presence. And the official Bigpoint website will naturally also be advertising the company's new virtual presence in Twinity.
