PUEBLO, Colo., Jan. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Today the Professional Bull Riders, Inc. (PBR) is excited to announce that it has partnered with Oasys Mobile, Inc., an industry leading developer of mobile games and entertainment, to develop a mobile game and application franchise around "the toughest sport on dirt!" -- the PBR!
"Oasys Mobile is an industry leader in mobile content development and we are excited about the games and applications we will create with them. PBR is in the midst of an aggressive campaign to develop games and entertainment applications that feature the PBR brand, sport of bull riding and our animal and human athletes. Oasys is the perfect partner to serve PBR fans on the move," said PBR CMO Sean Gleason. "The Oasys Mobile games and applications will be a cornerstone of a broader PBR Mobile initiative which will give PBR fans access to information, video, games and other content via their mobile devices."
"We think PBR is 'the next big thing' in sports. The combination of fast- paced action and real danger makes it completely unique in the extreme," stated Oasys Mobile CEO, Doug Dyer. "We think this lends itself perfectly to the mobile environment which is all about quick-hitting entertainment. People are going to be amazed at how well this sport will translate to small screen games and apps."
The PBR mobile game is expected to launch in October 2008, just prior to the PBR's 2008 Built Ford Tough World Finals presented by Wrangler in Las Vegas, Nev. For more information, please contact PBR VP, Licensing, Rhonda Truett at 719-242-2800 or Rhonda@pbrnow.com.
