kuuluu Interactive Entertainment AG together with Linkin Park at “Rio+Social”

June 18, 2012 - PRLog -- Held from June 20th to June 22nd 2012 in Rio de Janeiro, and attended by over 100 heads of state as well as delegates from over 150 countries, “Rio+Social” is an international exchange of new technological ideas, digital content, and social media concepts addressing prevalent environmental topics and sustainable development.

At a special event held on June 19th, kuuluu Interactive Entertainment AG and the US-American band "Linkin Park" will present their co-produced social game "Recharge".  The game’s brand-new concept and focus stands apart from other casual online games by intersecting social gaming, social media, and social responsibility in an engaging manner. "Recharge" will be made available to all players through Facebook.

"Recharge" takes place in a not-too-distant future where humans have depleted all natural resources on the planet. Society and what little energy stores remain have been seized control of by machines and an elite minority. Players join cooperatively to battle their captors and recharge the world with clean, sustainable energy.

Sustainable energy issues are very close to co-developer Linkin Park’s heart. Launched in 2004, their foundation "Music For Relief" assists people in dire need who have been affected by natural disasters, aswell as supporting renewable energy projects within their communities. With their current project "Power The World" "Linkin Park" is collecting money to supply families in Haiti with sustainable energy. The social game "Recharge" combines this passion for sustainability with social gaming.
