Disney Online has launched the Sellbot Cog Headquarters (HQ), an advanced play area in TOONTOWN, the award-winning, multiplayer 3D online game for kids and families. TOONTOWN, an online world where the Toons (players) live, is under siege by the Cogs, a bungling group of robots, who are trying to take over by turning it into a dark metropolis of skyscrapers and businesses. With the addition of Sellbot Cog HQ, the "Tooniverse" now includes an entirely new and more challenging neighborhood containing nothing but Cog office buildings and factories -- places where Toontown citizens are being held captive and await rescue.
"Our goal with Sellbot Cog HQ is to expand the TOONTOWN world by providing players with an additional land to explore, with fresh challenges that appeal to both experienced players and those who are familiar with traditional console style video games," said Steve Parkis, vp of subscription products, Disney Online. "This is one of the beauties of online games - much like our Disney Theme Parks, they can change constantly, in ways both big and small, ensuring that we can respond to our guests with unending surprises."
Disney Online (www.disney.com) produces the number one kids' entertainment and family community destinations on the Internet. Its "neighborhoods," specifically designed for each member of the family, include Disney's Blast (www.disneyblast.com) and Disney's Toontown Online (www.Toontown.com), both premium subscription services, as well as Disney Store, Destinations, Playhouse Disney, Kids Island, Entertainment, FamilyFun and Inside Disney.
