Espoo, Finland - Nokia today announced that Pocket Kingdom: Own The World, the world's first massively multiplayer online mobile game for the N-Gage platform, has started to ship and is now available in selected stores. Pocket Kingdom: Own The World challenges gamers to build a mighty online empire while competing against other players from around the world. Set in a fantasy landscape, it is a game of combat, action and strategy.
 
The phone functionality of the N-Gage platform allows Pocket Kingdom gamers to connect to the N-Gage Arena where they can find other Pocket Kingdoms to pounce upon and inflict grievous harm in their quest to reach the top of the All-Time Owner Board or All-Time Looter Board.
 
"Pocket Kingdom is a jewel in the N-Gage crown and we're thrilled that it's now in the shops for people to rush out and see if they have the skills necessary to Own The World!" said Gerard Wiener, Director, Network Game Solutions, Nokia. "Bringing the massively multiplayer online experience to the mobile world was a challenge and Pocket Kingdom delivers great game play with unique features together with a global online community through the N-Gage Arena."
 
Pocket Kingdom contains a number of innovative features that give gamers a mobile gaming experience like no other. For example, the Own The World News Report is a 24-hour news channel that reports on real-time developments in the Pocket Kingdom game world. Aspiring entrepreneurs can sell off items they capture from other players for "loot" via the game's Auction system.
