Following the launch of co-developed Disney Party on the Mobage network in Japan on 28 March, Disney Japan and DeNA have revealed further details of their partnership.
This will see the two companies collaborating further, with Disney announcing it will release Disney Fantasy Quest, in Japan on April 2, and a title based on Marvel Comics characters due in the summer.
The former will be a card collection game, while the latter will be a card-battler.
All three free-to-play games will be rolled out to DeNA's localised Mobage platforms - Mobage Global (US/Europe), Mobage China, and Daum Mobage (South Korea) during the summer.
Best of friends
This will be the first time games DeNA has jointly developed have been released outside of Japan.
The two companies are considering further titles for global release and will also be working together in areas such as movies, TV programs and smartphone apps.
"We are very excited about working closely with DeNA which is the market leader of mobile games, to provide great new services," said Paul Candland, president of The Walt Disney Company (Japan).
"We are also looking forward to inviting our audiences all over the world enjoy Japan-made original game content through DeNA's global platform."
