The popular Kiwi video game Path of Exile has today announced a partnership to bring its acclaimed role playing game to fans in Brazil.
The deal will see the makers of Path of Exile, West Auckland-based Grinding Gear Games, team up with Brazilian company UOL BoaCompra, which specialises in "monetising" online games.
Path of Exile now has over 5.5 million players worldwide, more than 250,000 of whom are daily players, and this deal opens up new markets in Latin America for the game.
UOL is Brazil's largest internet company and content portal, and the exclusive deal will ensure local customer support, payment gateways, and marketing for Path of Exile in Latin America.
"UOL BoaCompra understands the Brazilian market very well and takes an innovative approach to deliver a high quality service to the Latin American community," Grinding Gear Games managing director, Chris Wilson said.
