FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sydney, Australia – 15
th November 2012 – Space Heroes Universe!
the multi-award winning virtual world from Bubble Gum Interactive
has rocketed past the one million registered players milestone less
than twelve months after launch. The pace of growth is accelerating
and Bubble Gum Interactive expects this to continue into 2013.
“We’re over the moon to have achieved this
significant milestone in such a short time. With so many Space
Heroes out exploring, Shadowbot and his minions better
beware!” Said Phil Mason, CEO Bubble Gum Interactive
“It’s great to see community growth like this ahead of
the Festive Season, and we’ve got some amazing updates and
features in store for our fans heading into the new year, including
new planets to explore, mobile games and cartoons!”
Based on an original IP, rated E for Everyone and certified
kidSAFE+, Space Heroes Universe! serves a global audience and can
be played in thirteen languages. Every day tens of thousands of
players from over 100 countries blast off for adventure. Not only
has the game shown incredible traction with kids and families,
it’s also claimed a suite of independent awards and accolades
including the Creative Child Magazine Game of the Year 2012,
Parents Choice Approved Seal and Mom’s Choice Silver Award
amongst others.
With the rapidly growing fan base, Bubble Gum Interactive is
also pleased to announce the launch of prepaid game cards in
Australia, New Zealand and Brazil. Launching in early December in
over 500 retail locations including EB Games, Toys R Us, The
Warehouse and Saravia, the game cards will give fans a convenient
new way to upgrade to premium membership. Space Heroes Universe!
game cards will launch in more stores and countries through
2013.
To celebrate the milestone, Space Heroes fans are being gifted
with a limited edition Space Suit and a “million
heroes” badge through the end of November.
Much more than a virtual world, Space Heroes Universe! lets kids
create their own Space Hero and embark on an epic story-driven
intergalactic adventure. Along the way, players can personalise
their hero, adopt pet Kritterz, make new friends and explore an
ever expanding galaxy full of quests, fun and adventure as they
search for the dastardly Lord Shadowbot.
