EMERYVILLE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nexon and This Game Studio have released Oz: Broken Kingdom™, a mobile
role-playing game (RPG) that transports players into a reimagined world
of Oz that has been corrupted by a Great Darkness. Players are
introduced to newcomer Ophelia Shen, who joins familiar but now
legendary Tin Man, Lion, and Scarecrow on an epic quest to battle the
new evil and restore Oz to its former glory. Oz: Broken Kingdom is
available now as a free download on the App
Store for iPhone and iPad and Google
Play for Android devices.

“In Oz: Broken Kingdom, we’ve not only reinterpreted the land of Oz but
expanded its lore,” said Scott Blackwood, Founder and Head of Product at
This Game Studio. “Players will explore a new take on Oz, one brought to
life with stunning detail and brimming with fierce enemies at every
turn.”

Oz: Broken Kingdom features unique RPG elements which include a deep
strategic turn-based combat system, character customization and
evolution as well as and an array of hero-specific epic abilities.
Players collect and upgrade more than 100 unique abilities as they guide
their legendary heroes through seven regions of Oz, including the now
dangerous Munchkin countryside, perilous halls of Glinda’s Castle, and
the many shadowy lands beyond. Hordes of fiendish foes, nightmarish
minions and beastly bosses will attempt to stop the four heroes on their
quest to cast back the darkness and solve the thrilling mysteries of a
corrupted Oz.

“The experienced team at This Game Studio realized a tremendous
opportunity when they took this globally relevant brand and reimagined
it in a way that would resonate with today’s mobile gamer audience,”
said Lawrence Koh, General Manager at Nexon M. “We knew when we first
saw the game in early development that it was going to exceed player
expectations on everything from graphics, fresh content, and most
importantly, fun gameplay.”

In addition to the single-player story mode, players can also enter
Arena mode where they join a guild with their friends, collect
companions to battle alongside their heroes, and challenge others in the
Arenas of Oz in real-time player-vs-player (PvP) battles to earn rewards
and climb the leaderboards.

The game’s official
website features the launch trailer, download links, more
information and artwork. Players also can stay up to date on the latest Oz:
