MURRIETA, Calif., April 21, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Left Behind Games Inc. (OTCBB:LFBG) a leading publisher of Christian video games, today announced some of the additions to its product line being developed for the 2010 holiday season as well as for Easter 2011. New games include Charlie Church Mouse: Bible Adventures 3D, LEFT BEHIND 3: Rise of the Antichrist, King Solomon's Bible Trivia and a sing-along Christian music game yet to be named. Recent agreements with LifeLine Studios and Cloud 9 Games have paved the way for these new developments.
Charlie Church Mouse: Bible Adventures 3D creates a new world, similar to a virtual amusement park, where gamers will be able to visit various "Stories from the Bible." LEFT BEHIND 3: Rise of the Antichrist will have advanced graphics and playability in the real-time strategy category. Hopefully, it will follow in the footsteps of LEFT BEHIND: Eternal Forces, which became the most widely distributed Christian game in history. King Solomon's Bible Trivia and the new sing-along Christian music game will benefit from the technology already developed by Cloud 9 Games for their previously published Solomon Says Trivia and Heavenly Harmony Gold games.
Left Behind Games CEO Troy Lyndon says, "These developments are significant because the new enhanced games with existing name brand recognition will be released this holiday season for the PC. It is also our intent to develop Charlie Church Mouse: Bible Adventures 3D, King Solomon's Bible Trivia and the sing-along Christian music game for the Nintendo Wii and Microsoft XBox in time for Easter 2011.
Most ambitiously, Left Behind Games plans to release Bible Adventures Game World, an online Christian virtual game for kids. It is being designed with a Christian-themed atmosphere to provide an alternative interactive game world similar to the popular ClubPenguin.com acquired by Disney. The new online game is scheduled for release in 2011.
Director of LifeLine Studios Jeff Dotson says, "Before collaborating with Left Behind Games three years ago, we had developed our own publishing company and were a pioneer in the Christian video game space. We are delighted that Curtis Ratica of Cloud 9 Games will be part of our team as well. Now, with the experience of three independent publishing companies coming together with one focus, we see our future as brighter than ever."
Through the years, Christian products have gained in popularity and have been sold in various retail outlets. One of the most popular Christian products has been the well-known Left Behind book series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins which have sold more than 65 million books in 30 languages worldwide. The popularity of Christian media has grown and as the quantity and quality of interactive Christian games have improved, consumer demand has risen.
