Udupi, Jun 10: "'Sultan: The Game’, is now available on Google play. This is one of the best developed film-themed games to have come out and will allow the audience to step into the shoes of the titular character," said Rohit Bhat, CEO, 99games at the press meet at Brahmagiri on Friday June 10.
He explained, "The game has further cemented our relationship with Yash Raj Films. We have attempted to do something different this time. We have opened up pre-registrations for the game and have seen a tremendous response so far. It will not disappoint consumers and will put their nimble fingers to the test."
The server structure is designed by a team of highly talented engineers from Udupi Robosoft Technologies, who have great exposure of working on Mac products but were rookies in gaming. The game is played by people across 78 countries from Japan in the east to the United States in the west.
