Oh BiBi is set to launch a private beta test of FRAG in July that can be played against single opponents. With its move into battle games, Oh BiBi is also incorporating social features to FRAG which will allow players to record and share their battlefield record with fellow gamers. Its mobile phone focused arcade racing title SUP has attracted 30 million downloads to date. Oh BiBi, which was founded in Paris in 2012, has previously focused on driving-themed games. The free-to-play game has challenged console-based fighting games for which users typically pay full prices of up to $60 per title. įortnite, created by US-based studio Epic Games and backed by China's Tencent, the world's largest game studio and investor, has signed up tens of millions of users in recent months for its last-player-standing "battle royale" format. Gameloft was later acquired by media giant Vivendi. "At Oh BiBi we are on a mission to make mobile free-to-play fun to play by focusing on bringing epic multiplayer action games to mobile," co-founder and chief executive Stanislas Dewavrin said.ĭewavrin and Oh BiBi co-founder Martial Valery were responsible for Gameloft's biggest blockbuster titles more than a decade ago: Minion Rush, based on the cartoon character film franchise, which drew 860 million players, and Asphalt, an original car racing concept that counted 650 million players. Like Fortnite, FRAG sets out to break down the barriers that have existed between genres and platforms by bringing the free-to-play format to battle action games, which for technical reasons were once limited to higher priced consoles.
