CDC Games Launches Digimon RPG In the World's Largest Online Games Market

Digimon RPG is Now Commercially Available in China

BEIJING, Sept. 25, 2008 -- CDC Games, a business unit of CDC Corporation (NASDAQ: CHINA) and pioneer of the "free-to-play, pay for merchandise" model for online video games in China, announced today it has launched Digimon RPG, an online role-playing game based on the popular Japanese television animated series, in China, the world's largest market for online games.

CDC Games licensed Digimon RPG from SK Telecom, a leading mobile telecommunications operator in South Korea. Launched more than four years ago in Korea by its developer, DIGITALIC, Digimon is already a very popular and mature game worldwide.

"We are very excited about the launch of Digimon RPG in the world's largest online games market," said Yongbo Cho, Convergence Game Business team leader, SK Telecom. "With CDC Games' impressive games infrastructure in that country and its successful track record in the free-to-play online games market there, we believe Digimon RPG will be very successful in China."

Digimon RPG is based on a series of very popular Japanese animated television shows called Digimon Adventure, Digimon Adventure 02, Digimon Tamers, Digimon Frontier and Digimon Savers, produced by Toei Animation co., Ltd. The widely known Japanese animated series of media and merchandise includes a cartoon series, anime, manga-style comics, toys, trading card games and other media. Digimon has been a popular TV series running on various channels in China since 2001. Currently, the first two seasons, Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02, can be seen on six channels throughout China, including an all-cartoon channel based in Shanghai that has a market reach of more than 100 million viewers in 20 major cities.

As part of the game, players collect and train virtual monsters called Digimon and battle other players. First, players select characters that include Tamers (e.g., Henry Wong or Rika Nonaka) and a starter Digimon (e.g., Gigimon or Gummymon). Then the Digimon battle other monsters until they reach level eleven, where they can begin capturing other Digimon. To enhance their chances of successfully capturing more Digimon, players can purchase nets from the online store. There, they can also purchase character enhancements for their Digimon and clothing for their avatar. Players can also trade with each other.

Battling is done in a turn-based style. Players begin with whichever Digimon they have set as their main Digimon. Each Digimon has a time bar that goes up over time. When the time bar fills, the Tamer may take action with that Digimon such as make maneuvers (like a card slash), switch in another Digimon they own, or even evolve their Digimon. Since the battles between Digimon are generally non-violent (fallen Digimon will have small birds flying around their heads), this online game is suitable for young gamers. The game also teaches a positive message to gamers because the children (i.e. Tamers) are helping the Digimon to defend the digital world, as well as the real world from evil forces. Many of today's games involve more ambiguous enemies so fighting the evil forces is very straightforward and a more worthwhile goal for young gamers.

"We are very excited to launch Digimon RPG, a major new "green" online game for gamers in China," said, John Huen, chief operating officer of CDC Games. "We expect the TV series airing in China will help to further heighten awareness for Digimon RPG and help position this healthy and non-violent online game for growth in the world's largest online market."
