Kim Kardashian: Hollywood publisher releases the first free-to-play Diner Dash

One of the longest-running gaming franchises on mobile is getting revamped for the new age of free-to-play games.

Kim Kardashian: Hollywood developer Glu Mobile released the new Diner Dash game today on iOS and Android. Once again, players take control of the over-worked waitress Flo who must deal the never-ending demands of picky customers. The one big change is that Diner Dash is now free-to-play for the first time in the franchise’s history. Some of Glu’s other recent releases, like Deer Hunter and the aforementioned Kardashian game, are some of the most profitable games on smartphones and tablet. With Diner Dash, Glu is hoping to capture more gamers in an industry in which revenues are on track to surpass $21 billion in 2014.
