"Rubik's Cube is one of the most recognized brands around the world, so it makes perfect sense for eGames to find a strong international partner like Mindscape and make Rubik's Cube Challenge available to millions of international casual gamers,'' said eGames Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Rich Siporin.
"Starting a partnership with eGames on such a renowned brand like Rubik's Cube consolidates Mindscape in its leading position of European casual gaming publisher,'' said Philippe Cohen, Vice President of Mindscape Video Games.
Scheduled to launch internationally this spring, Rubik's Cube Challenge features a fast-paced puzzle game focusing on the spinning and color-matching play that made the original Rubik's Cube the world's top-selling puzzle game. First released in 1980, the original Rubik's Cube puzzle has sold over 350 million units worldwide to date.
Scheduled for spring 2008, Mindscape is distributing Rubik's Cube Challenge in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, while eGames oversees distribution of the game in North America.
