The company said, the Cities XL is in closed beta stage and TeliaSonera is already working with Monte Cristo to support the game’s data infrastructure in the run up to its public release in 2009.
Monte Cristo is projecting a significant increase in the number of online players over 2009, and for this reason feels that an outsourced infrastructure is the best strategy for fulfilling consumer demand and ensuring the best possible service for Cities XL players.
Jerome Gastaldi, CEO of Monte Cristo, said: We are expecting our user base to increase considerably and felt that we would be wise to make additional provisions for a substantial increase in data traffic, and TeliaSonera International Carrier was a perfect partner to meet this need. The technical side of the closed Beta has gone very smoothly indeed and we are all looking forward to the release of Cities XL in 2009.
