Breakpoint Moves With Yamakasi Masters

Another license-based game from Breakpoint: Yamakasi Masters based on the founders of ‘Motion Art’ is going to be brought to mobile this year.

Owing to the recently signed agreement with XMactive Ltd., Breakpoint has been granted the exclusive mobile license from the Yamakasi Founders themselves (Yann, Lorenzo, Chau and Willy). The unique urban movement of Yamakasi is a combination of extreme sport, martial arts and a way of life and is compared sometimes with Samurais.

Pawel Feldman, Licensing and Publishing Manager at Breakpoint says, “It is the next exciting game after ‘Footbag Freestyle’ that Breakpoint is going to publish this year. We are proud to be the first ones to recognize the potential of these underground cultures.”

The mobile game is planned as a dynamic, 2D side-scrolling game which will focus on how a character moves. The game’s graphics and physics will play a tremendous role in this production, trying to give the best impression of ‘the art of movement.’

“We are eager to see Yamakasi art on mobile screens” - said Yann Hnautra from Yamakasi founders group - “I hope the mobile game will popularize our movement and bring a lot of fun to everybody.”

The Yamakasi Masters mobile game will be developed and published by the same team that works now on another license-based game: The Witcher. Yamakasi is the third license acquired in 2007 by Breakpoint which in line with its growth strategy.
