The N-Gage Arena is the worldwide online community for mobile gamers, and features mobile multiplayer capabilities that fit in the palm of your hand and can be carried with you anywhere.

Nokia, the world’s largest mobile phone company, is dedicated to taking mobile game playing capabilities to never before imagined levels.

  • The new N-Gage QD will hit the USA this Summer.

  • Kevin Siembieda has been involved with the game’s development every step of the way.
  • Rifts for the N-Gage will bring the famous pen & paper Rifts® game to bold electronic life.
    “The design team knows & loves Rifts® as much as I do, and are working hard to create an electronic game Rifts® fans will love as well,” said Kevin Siembieda. “The story is compelling and truly captures the look and feel of Rifts. So far they have blown me away.”
  • A 30 second 3D animated spot shown at the press conference received some excited hoots of surprise and excitement from the crowd of reporters and special guests.
