TEL AVIV, Israel–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Plarium,
a leading social and mobile game developer with over 150 million users,
and Twentieth Century Fox, today announced the release of the Alien
vs. Predator (AVP) event on Plarium’s hit Facebook game, Soldiers,
Inc. The Alien vs. Predator event is available at the
link here: https://apps.facebook.com/soldiersinc/.
The 90-day AVP addition to Soldiers, Inc. includes two separate
Alien and Predator campaigns at 12 missions each, which can be
experienced separately or in parallel with each other. In the Alien
campaign, players will work with the Weyland Corporation’s top
Xenobiologist to turn Aliens into devastating living weapons. The
Predator campaign pairs players with the iconic Syndicate handler from Soldiers,
Inc, Mr. Black, as he seeks to acquire unknown Predator weapons
technology before a thermonuclear detonation erases them from existence.
“We are excited to team up with Plarium to bring Alien vs. Predator
to a platform as widely regarded as Facebook where everyone can play,”
said Mike Doyle, VP of Interactive Games at Twentieth Century Fox
Consumer Products. “There will be a lot of natural tie-ins to the AVP
content for fans, as the characters and staples of the franchise mesh
well with the gameplay and world of Soldiers, Inc.”
Launched in August of 2013, Soldiers,
Inc. has been coined one of the “best new games of the year” by
Facebook and remains one of Plarium’s most popular titles with 85
million total players. The Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) strategy
