Singapore-based distributor New Era Digital Interactive Media will bring two online games to the Philippines, MMORPG Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures and teen social networking site and virtual world Habbo, according to a report from the Philippine Daily Inquirer's gaming news site, hackenslash.
Sulake Corporation, the developer behind Habbo, announced in June that it registered its 100 millionth user-created avatar since the service's launch in 2000. According to Sulake, Habbo receives 10 million monthly visitors worldwide.
In just the past six months, the community has grown by nearly 20 million registered new users, mostly due to a mix of factors -- new marketing and in-game campaigns, celebrity appearances in various countries, enhanced user features, and a recent site redesign.
Though New Era plans to distribute and promote Habbo in the Philippines, the game will be hosted in Singapore. The company is currently in the process of opening an office in Pasig City and intends to eventually introduce prepaid cards for the game in the country, with denominations of ₱50 and ₱100 (approximately $1.23 and $2.45, respectively).
