InnoGames Partners With Rosso Index

HAMBURG, Germany, July 29, 2010--     InnoGames, one of the worldwide leading developers and publishers of
browsergames, has expanded their portfolio with a major deal. The German
company acquired the license to publish the Arcadia Saga in Europe and North
America. The client game set in the medieval times is developed by Rosso
Index, Japanese developer of MMORPGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Role
Playing Game).

    "Whilst InnoGames was known for high quality browsergames until 2009, we
have now entered new markets. After publishing our first social games on
Facebook, we are very glad to present our first client game in the nearer
future. Rosso Index has developed a great game and we are very much looking
forward to publishing it in Europe and North America," Michael Zillmer,
InnoGames Managing Director and Co-Founder, said. In the first step, the
license includes versions in German, English and French.

    Rosso Index sees very good chances to make their games even more popular
in these markets with InnoGames as its publisher. "We are very excited about
this partnership, which enables us to deliver Rosso Index games to users in
Europe and North America much more effectively with such a world-class
publisher," said Fumiaki Goto, Chairman and CEO of Rosso Index.

    With the deal, InnoGames strengthens its position as a global publisher
of online games. Today, they have about 50 million users in more than 200
countries on all continents. In April 2010, they founded their first
subsidiary company, InnoGames Korea Ltd. With this office, InnoGames wants to
intensify the relations to Asian companies. They plan to publish several
games - both browser and client based - in Europe and North America. "The
development level in Asia is extremely high and we see a huge potential for
partnerships with mutual benefit in this areas," Mr. Zillmer reveals.

    InnoGames' roots go back to 2003, when founders Eike and Hendrik
Klindworth and Michael Zillmer developed the browsergame Tribal Wars. In
2007, they founded the InnoGames GmbH, which has grown rapidly to become one
of the biggest developers and publishers of online games globally. As their
first subsidiary company, they founded InnoGames Korea Ltd., which is
supposed to strengthen InnoGames' position in the Asian market.

    Today, InnoGames has about 50 million registered users from more than 200
countries across successful game titles like Tribal Wars, The West, and
Grepolis. With WestWars, InnoGames has successfully published its first
Facebook game in 2010. The games are available in more than 30 languages.
