RedLynx partners with Chillingo for DrawRace 2's iOS release

Looking for publisher push

RedLynx partners with Chillingo for DrawRace 2's iOS release
Demonstrating the potential power of publishers, and the reason EA bought Chillingo, highly regarded Finnish developer RedLynx has signed up with the UK publisher for its new game.

DrawRace 2: Racing Evolved, the sequel to the critically acclaimed but commercially underperforming DrawRace (despite its million downloads - mainly free) will be released by Chillingo on iPhone and iPad, due in May/June.

The new game in the finger drawing race series will expand on features with new cars, car types, tracks, turbo controls, and a career mode.

All together now

“We’re proud to partner with RedLynx to bring this exciting next generation title to the Apple App Store,” explains Chris Byatte, co-general manager of Chillingo.

“DrawRace 2: Racing Evolved delivers an unparalleled racing experience to the iOS platform with its amazing new features that bring out the natural competitiveness in players as they speed their way to the finish line.”

RedLynx has successfully published its Monster Trucks Nitro franchise - co-owned with Miniclip - on the Apple App Store, but despite excellent reviews DrawRace didn't catch the imagination of US iOS gamers, something RedLynx hopes to improve thanks to Chillingo's marketing and promotion muscle.
