Chinese online game developer and operator NetDragon Websoft has teamed up with Walt Disney's Interactive Media Group to launch their first massively multiplayer online role playing game, Disney Fantasy Online, in Spring 2009.
Gamers of Disney Fantasy Online are immersed in a uniquely Disney-themed central world, based on themes of magic, adventure and romance with non-playing Disney characters such including Mickey and friends.
As gamers explore, complete quests and progress through levels they have the opportunity to acquire virtual items to personalise the gaming experience and enable them to explore additional worlds more extensively.
Expansion packs with new adventures and maps will be constantly added to the game, providing opportunities for gamers to uncover new content and secrets.
Stanley Chung, executive vice president and managing director, Walt Disney Greater China, said: "Disney is committed to providing gamers in China with the ultimate digital entertainment destination. Our characters and stories endure across generations, platforms and now immersive online experiences.
"We are very pleased to be co-operating with NetDragon, to create a unique and brand new entertainment experience for gamers."
