The Monkey King Augmented Reality App Previews At Stan Lee’s LA Comic-Con – October 28th
MK Games will unveil the first Monkey King Augmented Reality
(AR) mobile game app at Stan Lee’s LA Comic-Con, October 28-30 at the Los Angeles
Convention Center.
Based on the legendary Chinese character and popular motion picture franchise The
Monkey King, this exciting 3-D 360-degree “battle game” will preview in two playing
formats –3-D Augmented Reality and Standard 2-D.
Visitors to Stan Lee’s booth at the L.A. Convention Center will get a sneak preview of the
game play in which players can bring to life 3-Dimensional characters and pit them
against each other on any flat service. Using each character’s special skills players
seek to defeat their opponent and move to higher levels. The bloodless battles can be
controlled and viewed from any angle or point of view.
At its formal launch in November, The Monkey King: The Adventure Begins will reside
on a multi-channel digital network with each channel dedicated to multiple
interactions with individual characters, stories and games. The first three channels will
feature The Monkey King, Stan Lee’s Kids Universe (Dex T-Rex) and Maxi-The Taxi
Dog (with more channels on the way).
Upon its formal launch the game app will feature Sun Wukong and three other
characters inspired by the classic Chinese tale – The Buffalo King, The Jade Emperor
and the Rock Monster. Other characters will be added as the app is updated.
The game is free to play, works with most mobile smart screen devices and will be
available on Apple Store (iOS), Google
Play (Android), Amazon (Kindle) or at TheMonkeyKing.com
Michael Wehrhahn, producer of The Monkey
King: The Legend Begins motion picture, also co-produced the app and is supervising
the development of additional content for the Monkey King Channel.
“We are excited about launching the first AR game app featuring Sun Wukong, the
beloved Monkey King, on this incredible on-line network,” said Wehrhahn,
“There’s never been a single site featuring these kind of innovative experiences for
young audiences, so for us it’s the ideal place from which to introduce our characters to
a new audience” Along with the Monkey King app, MK Games is launching an on-line social network web
site bringing together a global community who are fans of all things “Monkey King,”
