Held this morning at bConnected, Greenbelt 4, Makati City, IP E-Games Philippines showed to the invited Press, iCafe owners, Distributors, and fansites the new deal struck with EMI Philippines to bring hit OPM (Original Pilipino Music) songs to the #1 Casual Game in the country – O2Jam Philippines. OPM hits from all EMI bands and music like Cueshe, Itchyworms, Hale, Hilera, to name a few. This is one of the great features of multiplayer online casual music games like O2Jam. It will allow players to have fun, play, and dance to the tunes of their favorite singers and bands.

Presented next was RAN Online’s Episode 2 entitled “Revelations” which was launched September 1, 2006. Revelations continues the story of RAN Online, this time, the Sacred Financial Group is somehow linked to the Leonaire campus‘ destruction.

Last but not the least, is IP E-Games’ latest casual game, a casual game that is taking the world by storm is finally here – Audition. It is a multiplayer online dance and music game. Much like O2Jam (if you will), but this one is as unique as O2Jam is. Audition is currently #1 in China, Korea, and Taiwan, with growing partners around the world like in Vietnam, Brazil, Chile, and now the Philippines. In fact, according to Electronic Times Internet, an IT news website, Audition has reached 50 million registered users in China, with 400,000 concurrent players.

Audition, in my experience, is one of the most anticipated game in the world. Being played by gamers from around the world in servers whose languages are not English. This prompted the developer to finally release Audition to the English speaking countries, first was in Australia, and it eventually spread. I for one maintains an account in different Audition servers that I can connect to. Audition’s close beta will begin in early October, while its open beta kicks off later during the same month. The game’s commercial launch will be during early November. Audition will also enjoy the partnership between IP E-Games and EMI Music Philippines, and thus, players will be able to dance and play with their favorite artists and bands’ music.

Then there is Supreme Destiny (re-branded title of With Your Destiny II), which was not presented but is included in the Press Kit. “Supreme Destiny is a traditional MMORPG in steroids”, says Heidi Mendita, IP E-Games Product Management Team Head. “It is set in a traditional fantasy world, with goblins, dragons, and other mystical creatures roaming around, but its systems are nothing like the ones that other existing, locally-published online games have. It allows extensive character growth that lets the player see his characters mature as they progress in the game. It also has a unique food and pet system, and a kingdom system that allows high-level players to join one of the warring kingdoms. Best of all, SD is free to play forever.”

The predecessor of Supreme Destiny (or With Your Destiny II), if I remember it correctly, was developed by the former lead developer of Ragnarok Online. WYD, as it is known to this date, became as popular as his RO project, and eventually gave birth to WYD2 or as re-branded in the rest of Asia as Supreme Destiny, for indeed, it is your Supreme Destiny to be who you want to be, and this game is for you.
