Abandon Releases Freaky Adventures

Abandon Interactive Entertainment released Freaky Adventures, the company's largest content update for its toy-based MMO Freaky Creatures, launched last March. The update introduces Player vs. Environment gameplay to Freaky Creatures, along with new enemies, powers, and more.

Freaky Creatures combines online multiplayer gaming, collectible action figures, virtual worlds, and social networking. The game offers free membership with limited access, as well as premium subscriptions with more features for $6.99 a month. Players purchase a starter pack from a retail location for around $19.99, which includes two action figures and a flash drive that gives them access to the game.

Once they create and customize their creatures with different parts and powers, they can battle them against others, take on missions, build a lair, join tournaments, form teams, trade items, read comics, play mini-games, and socialize with their friends in the community.

With Freaky Adventures, players are encouraged to explore new environments (e.g. Veseran Jungles, Towering Plateaus, and Ssorak Ruins), where they will encounter "strange life forms, items ,and enemies, each with its own specific abilities and powers." A new world map is also available for accessing more than 40 missions.

"Freaky Adventures incorporates inventive gameplay, missions and environments that will appeal to our dedicated community and new players alike," says Abandon's COO and president Jamie Ottilie. "This new content allows players to experience an already-robust online game in a completely different way."
