Esports Mogul Offers Popular Console Game Titles

HIGHLIGHTS

  • As part of the Silver Slam tournament series, Esports Mogul has extended their game title catalogue for Mogul.gg.

  • Console games, which have not been integrated on Mogul.gg previously, will engage with a new target market and aggressively drive user acquisition.

  • In 2018, console games were expected to generate $34.6 billion and 25% of the gaming market.

Esports Mogul Asia Pacific Limited (ASX: ESH) (the Company) is proud to announce they are expanding their game title catalogue to include some of the most popular console game titles.

As part of Silver Slam, the Company's AU$275,000 tournament series (ASX Announcement, 20 December 2018), Mogul.gg will enable major console titles to be included in one of the biggest tournament series Asia has ever seen.

The console games which can be hosted on Mogul.gg are:

  • Fortnite - 200m+ players worldwide

  • Overwatch - 40m+ players worldwide

  • Rainbow Six Siege - 40m+ players worldwide

  • Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 - US$500 million sales worldwide in the launch weekend alone

  • Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - The fastest-selling game in the series

  • Pro Evolution Soccer 19 - 100m+ sales worldwide

  • NBA 2K19 - Best-selling sports game of 2018

  • TEKKEN 7 - 47m+ sales worldwide across the Tekken series

Some of these game titles can be played multi-platform (i.e. console and PC) which Mogul.gg is proud to be able to support.

The Company is confident that offering these popular console titles will aggressively drive user acquisition as in 2018 console games held 25% of the gaming market and were expected to generate $34.6 billion, according to Newzoo. As console games have not previously been integrated on Mogul.gg, a new demographic of gamers will be able to be contacted and acquired.

The Company will update the market on the additional PC and mobile titles to be added to Mogul.gg throughout January.

Esports Mogul Managing Director, Gernot Abl, said:

"Being able to offer some of the biggest console games on the market is a great feat for the Company. We will be able to extend Mogul.gg to a new demographic of users and with a $275,000 prize pool for Silver Slam, Mogul.gg is an appealing platform to play these games. I look forward to updating the market on the additional PC and mobile titles we will be integrating with."
