Become a star
The unique avatar system used within Empire of Sports has its roots in both traditional role playing games and real sports. The game’s characters simulate both the human metabolism and the techniques required by each sport with great accuracy. In Empire of Sports, a player has the potential to become a true “Champion of the World”, on the basis of competition with millions of other people from around the world. As “World Champion”, they will have fans, virtual money, the best equipment, VIP access and opportunities to meet or compete with real-life celebrities. Players will be able to take full advantage of the game through a range of tools that also allow management activities such as creating and managing clubs, registering for competitions and organising friendly and/or official matches.
Sports Games & Virtual Worlds
Empire of Sports offers a wide range of exciting sports games, such as tennis, basketball, skiing, bobsleigh, fitness, track & field and football. It is the first multi sports gaming world with controls and interfaces specially designed for PC gameplay. These are harmonised so that, despite the diversity of sports on offer, Empire of Sports remains one single, cohesive world. The word “world” implies massive numbers of players - the game has been built to accommodate millions of players. Several cities can be visited, each with an environment developed from the characteristics of real cities. They are built in an architectural style and with an ambiance that reflects their country, but are futuristic in design. This helps the social aspects of the game, such as team building and striking up friendships, to have a sense of credibility.
Business Opportunities in Empire of Sports
Capitalising on the unprecedented rise in persistent gaming worlds, Empire of Sports opens up a completely new frontier for business partners. There are exciting opportunities for brands, media companies and rights holders, allowing them to use the platform as an advertising channel or sell both virtual and real items. Empire of Sports targets the most attractive but also hard-to-impress consumer segments. With careful product placement, the player is able to experience virtually the benefits of the product and build a positive association with the brand, eventually leading to a real life purchase.
