NetEnt announced that it has agreed to develop what will be its biggest brand, securing rights to launch the first-ever HTML 5 slot game based on the legendary rock band Guns N’ Roses.
“The spectacular rock slot has involved a production team almost twice as large as any previous game development,” said a statement from the company. “NetEnt has invested heavily not only to capture the spirit of the brand but also into the technical architecture to showcase the very best HTML 5 productions online.
The new slot game will showcase five Guns N’ Roses hits— “Welcome to the Jungle”, “Sweet Child O’ Mine”, “Paradise City”, “November Rain” and “Chinese Democracy.”
“Guns N’ Roses are huge and iconic, and it’s great to launch with one of the most legendary rock bands in history,” said Simon Hammon, chief product officer of NetEnt. “We’ve honored them with our most ambitious ever, and NetEnt can’t wait for players to have a chance to enjoy the musical game experience.”
The game allows players to set the soundtrack as they experience features such as Encore Free Spins, Legend Spins, Solo Multiplier, “Appetite for Destruction Wild” and a Crowd Pleaser bonus game. The 20-line slot draws on the unmistakable sound of the band, who have claimed seven Platinum albums, and launched simultaneously to mobile and desktop for the Europe market on January 21.
The release is NetEnt’s first ever game to be delivered using WebGI and Pixie, a second-generation rendering engine that enables vibrant animations in HTML5. The company used its unique in-house audio engine to match animations on beats to music.
