Sumea announced today that the company has signed an agreement to license Activision, Inc.’s upcoming multi-platform game Pitfall®: The Lost Expedition™ for mobile gaming platforms. The Pitfall mobile games will be set in jungle, glacier and cave worlds from the console game, and deliver a rich episodic gaming experience through three distinct downloadable games set in each of these environments.

Activision will release Pitfall: The Lost Expedition for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, the Xbox® video game system from Microsoft, Nintendo GameCube™, and Game Boy® Advance in February 2004. Sumea will release the first episode of the Pitfall: The Lost Expedition mobile game, The Jungle, simultaneously with the console game to guarantee a true multi-platform game release. In addition, the mobile version is linked to the console game through unlockable cheat codes.

The first episode of Pitfall: The Lost Expedition, challenges players to locate a legendary artifact that is guarded by a Giant Monkey. The adventure takes place in distinct locales including jungles, swamps, under water, and ancient ruins. The game features 16 levels in which players swing on vines, jump on crocodiles, swim, dive and sling rocks to defeat dangerous enemies.

The Glacier and Caves episodes are targeted for release in April and May 2004. All three mobile game episodes will be widely available through Sumea’s extensive distribution network in the U.S. and Europe, and through wide mobile handset support.

“Our partnership with Sumea will successfully bring one of Activision’s proven franchises, Pitfall: The Lost Expedition, to the mobile gaming market,” said Dave Anderson, Senior Director of Business Development for Activision, Inc. “The ability to unlock console cheat codes by playing the mobile game delivers an enriching cross-platform gaming experience.”
