MySQUAR's update regarding releases of new game and VoIP application
MySQUAR, the Myanmar-language social media, entertainment and payments platform whose principal activity is to design, develop and commercialise Myanmar-focused internet-based mobile applications, is delighted to announce that the new game ChakraNinja has been fully launched and the VoIP application CallHome has been soft-launched in the last week of December 2016.
Gaming Business
ChakraNinja is based on Naruto, one of the most successful Japanese manga comic characters of all time. Naruto, an adolescent ninja, is already a highly popular character in Myanmar via TV, films and books. ChakraNinja will benefit from the existing user base of other games and of MyChat, the chat and social networking application of MySQUAR.
Forthcoming releases during Q1-2017 will include further new hardcore games now planned for release in February and March and a platform of multiple casual games targeted for release in mid January.
VoIP Service
The Company's VoIP application, which is branded as CallHome, offers both on-net calls (app to app) and off-net calls (app to mobile phones and landlines). The services will target the Myanmar market and also South East Asia countries, such as Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia, where many Myanmar people live.
Eric Schaer, CEO of MySQUAR, said: "It will be exciting to watch as ChakraNinja leverages both the celebrity of the Naruto character and MySQUAR's existing user base. Its anticipated popularity will in turn increase the prospects for the new game launches in early 2017 and beyond. Our new CallHome VoIP app has the potential to become a major revenue earner. The service can dramatically reduce the cost of calls compared with traditional call methods, particularly for the millions of Myanmar people calling home from overseas. These new product launches are an excellent way to end this year and enter 2017 and underline our commitment to keep pushing towards rapid monetisation."
