Reading Time: 2 minutes

Award recognises brand’s forward-thinking approach to app development

Shape Games has received one of the most coveted gaming industry prizes at the SBC Awards when they were handed the trophy for Innovation in Mobile earlier this week, the company announced.

“We’re delighted to have won this award and to be recognised by our respected industry peers for our mainstream consumer entertainment approach to creating great mobile experiences,” said Christian Risom, Shape Games CEO. “Consumers have many demands for their time and focus, and it’s imperative that gambling operators provide them with user experiences that are intuitive, fun and reassure them that the brand knows and understands them. I’d like to say a big thanks to everyone at Shape Games for their hard work that has put us in a great position for growth in 2022.”

Drawing upon Shape’s success producing apps for large consumer and entertainment brands such as Apple, Red Bull and Ikea, the online gaming customer engagement platform is building its brand and reputation by challenging the traditional platform providers in the gambling industry with Shape’s data and machine learning-driven, native customisable apps that focus on user experience as the heart of the design process.

Shape Games was founded in 2018 to focus on building apps for the gambling industry and since then has grown from supplying a single operator in Danske Spil to being a leading front end platform partner to major operators and emerging players in 17 countries across Europe and the Americas.

Heinz Maps Out “Hidden Spots” In Call of Duty®: WarzoneTM Pacific’s New Caldera Map to Highlight Snack-Safe Zones For Players

Reading Time: 3 minutes

 

Hungry in the middle of the Warzone? Heinz has a solution. Gamers know that eating while playing games is one big hurdle, even more so on a map that has just released.

In fact, gamers spend roughly eight hours and 27 minutes each week playing games – so when it comes to Call of Duty, one of the world’s biggest video game franchises, it’s nearly impossible to take a snack break during gameplay.

To help gamers find more magic in mealtime while playing their favorite video game, Heinz, the World’s #1 Ketchup brand, teamed up with Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific to identify hidden spots in its latest map Caldera to safely enjoy a well-deserved break and eat a delicious burger with Heinz in real life.

Fans and gamers can tune into Twitch and YouTube this weekend (Friday 17th – Sunday 19th December) to watch top Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific streamers reveal Heinz Hidden Spots in-game and enjoy a burger break as they explore the new map.

“80% of gamers eat and drink while playing, but it’s much harder to do this in multiplayer online games like Call of Duty, where an ill-timed break can cost you the match,” says Isabella Rizzo, VP of Marketing at Kraft Heinz.

“Heinz brings the magic to mealtime, whether you’re sitting around the dinner table or enjoying a quick bite mid-game, and now we’re helping Call of Duty gamers safely recharge with a burger break in one of the new points of interest on Caldera. Here at Heinz, we say just eat. No Defeat.”

Top streamers from the UK, US and other brand markets across the globe have joined forces with Call of Duty to map out safe, quiet spots in the new Warzone Pacific Caldera game to ensure that players can take a break to eat a burger and fries without the fear of getting sent to the Gulag.

“The launch of Caldera is a unique opportunity for Call of Duty and Heinz to bring our audiences together in new and exciting ways,” said Tyler Bahl, Vice President and Head of Marketing, Call of Duty.

“As the community explores and discovers the new map, Heinz is giving them a chance to experience the new Warzone offering in a fun and engaging way.”

With Hidden Spots, Heinz is making its debut with an ever-growing audience of gamers. But instead of just saying something to them, Heinz and independent creative agency GUT São Paulo partnered with Activision to connect with them directly where they are – inside the game.

Since Activision’s Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific’s Caldera map was launching, it was the perfect moment for Heinz to partner with one of the biggest gaming franchises ever to help hungry gamers find where to stop to eat while they played instead of having to hide.

“Heinz is an iconic brand that is used to doing so many incredible things in advertising, so with its debut in gaming, Hidden Spots is yet another way the brand is doing just that,” says Murilo Melo, Executive Creative Director at GUT São Paulo.

“Gamers usually say that campers are cowards for hiding to ambush other players, but with the world’s favorite ketchup brand partnering with the world’s favorite gaming franchise, Heinz is here to help gamers eat in peace as they fight in the warzone. We’re excited for hungry gamers to find these Hidden Spots and hope they’re now able to pass the Heinz without the risk of passing away in the game.”

With this initiative, Heinz hopes to get closer to the vast gaming community by giving a little help to them around the world and offering a solution to a real issue that many in the community face on a daily basis.

‘Hidden Spots’ is part of the brand’s masterbrand campaign, “It doesn’t matter the time or place,” which also highlights Heinz flavored ketchups, mayonnaise and barbecue sauce.

Call of Duty: Warzone is a free-to-play, free-for-everyone battle royale experience that more than 100 million players around the world have jumped into play. Call of Duty: Warzone is integrated with Call of Duty: Vanguard, Call of Duty®: Black Ops Cold War, and Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare®. Call of Duty and its titles are published by Activision, a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ: ATVI) and developed by studios (in alphabetical order) Activision Shanghai, Beenox, Demonware, High Moon Studios, Infinity Ward, Raven Software, Treyarch and Sledgehammer Games.

The Global Esports Federation turns two, and what an epic ride it has been

Reading Time: 4 minutes

 

When the Global Esports Federation (GEF) was launched in 2019, one of its goals was to marry the fast-growing esports world with values often tied to traditional sport.

Esports was already the fastest growing sport in 2019, with revenue over US$1 billion and a worldwide reach of close to 500 million. With its massive reach and widespread appeal among the young, esports is seen as a gateway to connecting with the youth of the world.

What then, could a new esports organization bring? As it turns out, plenty.

For starters, the GEF celebrates its second anniversary just as the inaugural edition of the Global Esports Games (GEG), its flagship event, prepares for a highly-anticipated opening in Singapore.

The GEF’s journey over the past two years has also seen it expand the reach of esports globally while championing causes often overlooked by the larger esports world.

Promoting diversity

Female representation has long been an issue in esports. The lack of opportunities for women to play at major events and an overwhelmingly male-dominated executive workforce both at esports global companies and international bodies often meant that the interest of women in esports was often overlooked.

But the GEF made sure to address this.

For its inaugural edition of the GEG, the GEF set the tone of its flagship event by ensuring that it had a women’s category. Teams Paraguay, Mongolia and Great Britain emerged through regional qualifiers to earn the right to battle it out for Dota 2 supremacy alongside hosts Singapore. GEG 2021 will also be the first major international tournament to feature an all-women Dota 2 category.

In the boardroom, the GEF has also led the way. In two years, it has increased women representation at the GEF, edging toward 40%.

Said Chris Chan, president of the GEF: “The GEF was founded on the principle that everyone in the gaming world should be considered equals and it is why we have always pushed for an inclusive esports and youth culture.

“The beauty of esports is that color, gender, race and how affluent someone is don’t factor in. When you interact virtually, it doesn’t matter what your background is.

“And that is the culture we want to foster with our #worldconnected movement. Esports is universal, and it should be something everyone can experience and enjoy.”

Championing inclusivity

Central to fostering diversity is the need to be more inclusive. And that is where the GEF has also made significant inroads, especially with promoting esports and events in the Middle East.

While esports had made tremendous strides in the dominant markets of Europe, North America and Asia, elite-level, international events are still in its infancy in the Arab world.

The GEF brought two events to the Middle East in its inaugural Global Esports Tour, which opened in Los Angeles in September 2021, before moving to Riyadh in October and Dubai in November.

Aptly, the United Arab Emirates became the 100th Member Federation to join the GEF in August 2021. To date, the GEF has 105 Member Federations.

For the 18-19 December GEG world finals, which will feature over 100 esports athletes from over 40 countries, the GEF has taken the extra step of assembling a Team #worldconnected — which brings athletes of different backgrounds, including those who represent the refugee community, people with disabilities, wounded servicemen and women, and other underserved communities.

Among the athletes in Team #worldconnected is Roby Hormis, a former refugee from Iraq who is now based in the Netherlands. He will compete in eFootball alongside Brazil-born Yuri “Yuri_FPOLIS” Andrade, who now resides in the United States.

And for the pair, initiatives like Team #worldconnected are what makes the GEF a refreshing addition to the global esports ecosystem.

Said Yuri_FPOLIS: “For me, just inviting people from all around the world, from different backgrounds, is a big step to making esports something the whole world can enjoy. It’s awesome and that is something amazing that the GEF is doing.”

Inclusivity is, however, not confined to the athletes.

As part of the Singapore 2021 GEG, GEFCon will bring together thought leaders in esports, sports, technology, and entertainment to explore topical issues facing the industry such as the role of fintech in esports, the future of entertainment, and how organizations are moving from sponsorship to partnership.

There is also the GEFestival, a two-week virtual celebration of esports in the build-up to GEG 2021. It features community gaming, music and entertainment for the gaming communities of the world.

As with any organization, the formative years are crucial. It is where one builds stability and strong roots to form a firm foundation for growth. With a strong base, already established in its first two years, the global esports community can look to many more initiatives that will excite and positively impact esports.

Among the initiatives on the horizon are the expanding of the GEF’s presence in the metaverse with its partnership with 888 The New World, and an exciting line-up of Global Esports Tour and GEG 2022 as the flagship event moves to Istanbul, Turkey.

Said GEF CEO Paul J. Foster: “Just like the dynamic industry that is esports, the GEF also needs to constantly evolve and innovate to cater to an ever-changing target audience and market.

“But as we look to strengthen and add to the many initiatives and partnerships we had built in our first two years, our ethos of bringing inclusivity and celebrating diversity in esports will always remain central to what we do.”

Yggdrasil’s content will also be made available in other key regulated markets in the near future such as Germany, Czech Republic, and Romania through Kaizen’s international brand Betano.

EKSA Introduces Air Joy Plus Ultralight Gaming and Mobile Headset with 7.1 Surround sound and ENC Technology

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

With an eleven-year history of developing and manufacturing headphones for top global brands, gaming peripheral experts EKSA is pleased to announce the release of its latest headset, the Air Joy Plus. This Ultra-light wired gaming headset with 7.1 surround sound, noise cancelling microphone and advanced ENC technology to block out external noise is available directly from the EKSA website for $35.99/£28 approx until January 31st 2022 (RRP $55.99/£43 approx)

The EKSA Air Joy Plus 7.1 surround sound gaming headset was developed by pro gamers and game designers to be ultra-light and thus comfortable for long gaming sessions. Weighing in at just 204 grams, the Air Joy Plus is almost half the weight of most other gaming headsets currently available in the market. The slim, yet sturdy, inner metal body distributes the pressure evenly across the head while the soft woven, extra-large and breathable earmuffs ensure a comfortable fit with less clamping force. 

The Air Joy Plus headset allows gamers to enjoy extreme immersion whilst gaming with 7.1 surround sound (driver included) so they can hear exactly where enemies coming from as if they were actually in the game itself. The custom-tuned driver and accurate and balanced audio production means gamers can tell where a noise is coming from rather than be overwhelmed by thundering explosions, in turn losing the subtle footsteps of opposition players. If being used in a noisy environment on a smartphone or Nintendo switch, the Joy Plus’s built in Electronic Noise Cancellation technology drowns out external noise to ensure the gamer isn’t distracted and can focus on the gameplay.

The noise canceling microphone picks up the voice clearly while isolating the ambient noise and the detachable design allows it be removed when not in use. The audio wire is also detachable and the 90° adjustable hinge makes the headset extremely portable for travelling, mobile gaming or for wearing around the neck when on a gaming break. The volume slider and microphone mute button are easily accessed on the Air Joy Plus for quick and convenient control.

Compatible with most smartphones, the EKSA Air Joy Plus also provides seamless use across multiple platforms including Windows 7/8/10, PC, Laptop, Mac, PS4, PS5 and Nintendo Switch.

The EKSA Air Joy Plus 7.1 Surround Sound Ultra-light Gaming Headset is available directly from the EKSA website for $35.99/£28 approx until January 31st 2022 (RRP $55.99/£43 approx)
