Big Fish Games ™ ( www.bigfishgames.com ), the world ’ s leading online destination for games and interactive entertainment, today announced the launch of Azada: Ancient Magic , developed by Big Fish Games Studios and available exclusively at BigFishGames.com . Following the success of the original hit Azada, the first puzzle-adventure game developed for online digital distribution, the sequel, Azada: Ancient Magic raises the bar for games in this emerging casual genre to new heights.

“ We all agreed that we didn ’ t want to do a quick sequel with just more one-page puzzles; we had a responsibility to the fans to take things much further, ” said Emmanuel Marty, director of Big Fish Games Studios Europe. “ Where Azada had pages, Azada: Ancient Magic has entire books, over 20 of them including a secret book exclusively for players who completed the original Azada . ”

“ Azada: Ancient Magic uses the best elements of the original game and transports players into a much deeper experience, ” said Patrick Wylie of vice president of studios at Big Fish Games. “ Incorporating heroes, villains, and legends from classic stories gives the game a dramatic appeal and a feeling of familiarity. ”

Azada: Ancient Magic is the second title in the critically-acclaimed Azada series. The game is available exclusively at www.bigfishgames.com . The trial version can be downloaded for free; the unlimited version is available for $19.99 (U.S.).
