Dialog Gaming in collaboration with GameRoar Technologies Ltd. and Jwave Technologies have launched MegaPlay, an all-in-one e-gaming mobile app, featuring a gamut of hyper-casual games, created by Sri Lankan game developers, to the delight of gamers island-wide.
Powered by Dialog Axiata PLC, Sri Lanka’s premier connectivity provider, MegaPlay extends more than 50 exciting hyper-casual games (lightweight games with simple mechanics that offer instant gameplay) developed by Sri Lankan based game developers ranging from puzzles, cricket, shooting, racing, arcade, and more.
MegaPlay’s launch will mark the first time local game developers and gamers can earn money, free data and many other perks by playing and developing games. As a limited time offer, Dialog is rewarding every new MegaPlay account with free 1 GB Anytime Data and they will also get immediate access to MegaPlay’s entire gaming collection until 30 November 2021. This exclusive offer will only be available for the first 10,000 users who have downloaded the app via the Google Play Store or www.megaplay.lk.
Speaking on the launch of the platform, Dialog Axiata PLC Group Chief Innovation Officer and Chief Architect Anthony Rodrigo stated, “We are pleased to partner GameRoar and JWave to launch MegaPlay as the latest milestone of Dialog’s journey in powering the next generation of e-Sports. As a prolific promoter of national sports and local gaming talent, our aspiration has always been to initiate a paradigm shift in the Sri Lankan digital gaming industry for developers and gamers to thrive. We are pleased to enable the transformation of the local gaming arena with MegaPlay, while also connecting local e-Sports talent with global game developers and giving them the exposure to world-class gaming content all in one platform.”
“GameRoar, Jwave and Dialog Axiata share the common belief that digital gaming could connect people in a meaningful way,” stated Ravihans Wetakepotha of GameRoar Technologies. “The innovations brought to life by this app are unparalleled and MegaPlay is a platform aimed not just at enhancing the experience for gamers but also for game developers. We are proud to have a 14,000+ strong gaming developer community spread across Asia, who will help produce amazing games for our users. It’s truly been an honour to be working alongside Dialog Axiata as we are embarking on an authentic global mission to showcase and uplift Sri Lankan interactive media and gaming talents.” JWave Technologies Director Shehan Gomez also commented: “The gaming industry has been booming over the past few years, yet the current pandemic has seen e-sports take on a whole new level of development. The mobile gaming market is rising daily because it targets every demographic and MegaPlay helps game developers express themselves creatively while also enabling users to unwind after a long day with a wide variety of hyper-casual games. I’m excited to be a part of the e-sports industry and I’m looking forward to developing an amazing gaming community within Sri Lanka.”
