A wholly-owned subsidiary of  Mail.Ru Group(MRG), My.comaims to bring "communitainment" - a cohesive communication and entertainment platform - to the masses. The new MMO's expand the My.comfootprint into AAA games, and build off of MRG's experience operating the largest Eastern European online entertainment market. Each new title will be free-to-play and offer optional ingame purchases that enhance user experience or speed progression through the game. The games include:

·Armored Warfare - unveiled during the Game Developer Conference Choice Awards and developed by Obsidian Entertainment, this action-based MMO features modern tank combat with player vs environment (pve) or player vs player (pvp) gameplay

·World of Speed- developed by Slightly Mad Studios, a graphically stunning racing MMO that combines an innovative approach to racing with a strong focus on social elements such as team play and auto clubs

"In My.comgames we are bringing a new set of eyes to an industry that hasn't had much shake up in its short existence," said Dmitry Grishin. "We knew that doing so would be hard, so we partnered with two of the top studios in the industry, Obsidian Entertainment and Slightly Mad Studios. We're thrilled to show these games for the first time, and can't wait to have them in gamers' hands across the globe."

"Our first game offering was Jungle Heat, a very successful project with over 10M installations and nearly 90% revenues outside of Russia, and the US market is a significant part of it," said Dmitry Grishin. "It's very encouraging and leads us to believe that our new AAA games, both client and mobile, are going to be successful abroad."

With over 30 online games in its portfolio, games represent nearly 25% of MRG annual revenue. As MRG's publishing brand of MMO games in non-Russian speaking markets, My.comgames will also be available for gamers across the world, including the highly lucrative Russian market, where online-gaming generated more than 0,9 billon dollars in revenue for 2012. As a publisher, Mail.Ru Group works with developers around the world and focuses on those who share the same passion for high-quality graphics and exciting gameplay experiences.

My.comlaunched in November 2013 with a family of communication applications - myMail and myChat - and with myGames, a portfolio of mobile games on Android and iOS. For more information, visit www.my.com.
