PARIS, February 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

    Gameloft, a leading global publisher of digital and social games, has teamed up with
Marvel to announce the development of its upcoming smartphone and tablet title, Captain
America: The Winter Soldier - The Official Game, based on the much-awaited Super Hero film
coming this spring. As the official game of the film, Gameloft will bring an original
blend of combat action and flexible tactical options for a complete Marvel experience that
teases the upcoming movie.

    "Marvel has been a longtime partner of ours, and we are once again happy to transform
one of their blockbuster films into an immersive action game," said Karine Kaiser, VP
Marketing & Licensing at Gameloft. "Players can expect a truly involved Captain America
experience, with many characters from both the movie and the comics."

    Fans will enjoy taking the role of Captain America and leading an elite team of
S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in battle against famous Marvel villains involved in a sinister global
plot. Complete with the ability to join clans in multiplayer mode and to compete for a
higher position in leagues, gamers will enjoy hours of entertainment in a unique
comic-book-style world. An original story inspired by the film, cowritten by Marvel,
provides a gripping narrative for the game.

    "We are happy to expand around the Captain America: The Winter Soldier film with this
game, which truly complements the global experience we are aiming to offer," said Javon
Frazier, Vice President, Games Marketing at Marvel Entertainment.

    Captain America: The Winter Soldier is scheduled for release on iPhone, iPad, iPod
