VC Mobile Entertainment has unveiled a new mobile game, Creature Quest, from Might & Magic creator Jon Van Caneghem.
The title comes from a Los Angeles startup that has a fighting chance to get noticed in the $30 billion mobile game industry, where getting noticed is increasingly hard.
Creature Quest is a blend of a fantasy role-playing game and a strategy title. It is available for iOS devices and it's done a “soft launch” on the Apple iTunes App store in New Zealand, Hong Kong, Ireland, and the Netherlands. It will debut on more platforms and regions afterwards this year.
“From the very beginning of my career, I wanted to make games that I loved to play,” Van Caneghem said in a statement. “That same principle drives everyone here at VC Mobile Entertainment. The entire team has incredible passion for Creature Quest, and we're very excited to finally share the game and all of its upcoming content for several years to come.”
Van Caneghem is known for found New World Computing and creating Might & Magic and Heroes of Might & Magic. He founded VC Mobile Entertainment in 2014.
He said Creature Quest is an innovative blend of collectible RPG and strategy games. Players embark on quests to explore new realms while encountering a variety of creatures and obstacles along the way. With over 500 Creatures wielding powerful abilities to collect and upgrade, players will be busy.
Creature Quest also boasts a player-versus-player mode, allowing players to use their creature collection to build their own dungeons and challenge other players for rewards.
