nWay launches platform for crossplay, real-time multiplayer games

nWay created a power multiplayer platform for its ChronoBlade and Power Rangers games. And now it is taking that platform and planning to license it out to other game developers so they can make crossplay, real-time multiplayer games that can scale.

The nWayPlay platform is available for alpha partners and will formally launch later this year. The hope is to enable small and medium-size game studios to make multiplayer games faster, more easily, and with less cost than ever. Those games should also be able to satisfy the new demand from gamers for cross-platform play, so gamers can play with friends regardless of platform.
