Red Robot Labs announced that it is expanding its R2 mobile gaming platform. Box of Robots, ShortRound and 50 Cubes join Asia-based Next Media and UK-based Supermono on the mobile R2 platform.
“There is a huge pool of talented game developers who developed for consoles and social games that have approached us with awesome location-based game ideas. With phone and tablet power capabilities rapidly increasing, alongside player expectations, we aim to be at the center of this growth, by investing and collaborating with all of our R2 dev partners, including our three newest teams: Box of Robots, ShortRound and 50 Cubes,” said Mike Ouye, Co-founder and CEO, Red Robot Labs. “This is our first step towards our goal of becoming the Steam of mobile.”
“Red Robot Labs has activated the gaming community around the world with its top-notch location-based mobile technology and fun, original, console quality-content,” said Mitch Lasky, General Partner at Benchmark Capital and investor in Red Robot Labs. “By broadening the platform to third party developers, R2 is on its way to becoming the foremost location gaming platform in the world.”
