The Fast and Furious 6 mobile game did really well, acquiring the top spot on the App Store -- it was also the store's editor's choice --and Google Play charts. The game also featured on the top 10 on the App Store's top grossing iPhone chart in more than 21 countries.
In a press release announcing the game, Andrew Sheppard, the president of Kabam studios said that he was glad to be continuing the collaboration with Universal:
"The Fast & Furious franchise is a global phenomenon that continues to evolve as the scale of the films grow bigger with each new release," Sheppard said. "Kabam is proud to continue to collaborate with Universal on such a fun and mass-appeal franchise to develop a new mobile game that progresses with the same ambition of the series."
Stephanie Sperber, the president of UP&L seconded Sheppard's opinion and said that she believed that the new game would also be a raging success.
"We are thrilled with the success of Fast & Furious 6: The Game. Kabam has done an incredible job developing an immersive experience that truly resonates with the fans of the franchise," Sperber said. "We're delighted to be working with Kabam again, and anticipate yet another hit game that will endure for many years to come."
