Snapchat, Messaging app, on Thursday unveiled new
features including an integrated gaming platform, an expansion of its original
series and new partnerships with developers.
“Friendship is more than just the things you chat
about,” said Will Wu, the director of product at Snapchat as he unveiled Snap
Games at a Partner Summit in Los Angeles to highlight the new features for
creators and app developers.
“Friendship is also about
experience you have together.”

The six made-for-Snapchat games, including
“Bitmoji Party,” “Alphabear Hustle” and “Zombie Rescue Squad,” will be part of
a global gaming industry that saw $77 billion in revenue last year, Wu said.“We wanted to build something that makes us feel
like we’re playing a board game with family over a long holiday weekend,
something that makes us feel like we’re sitting with friends, controllers in
hand,” he said. “Unfortunately, these games are hard to find on mobile (…) it’s
hard to get everybody to install the same game, and it’s hard to chat.”
The six games will be directly accessible from
Snapchat’s popular messaging feature Chat, offering users the possibility to
play while at the same time exchanging messages.
“Bitmoji Party,” developed by Snapchat parent
Snap and inspired by Nintendo’s “Wii Party,” for example features players,
brought to life with 3D Bitmojis, as they compete across four fast-paced
mini-games.
“You can launch Bitmoji Party right from the chat
bar, allowing you and your friends to instantly play together, no install
required,” Wu said.
“Alphabear Hustle” is described as a fast-paced
word game in which players work together to spell words, collect cute bears and
build their own personal bear village.
“Zombie Rescue Squad” deals with a zombie
apocalypse that calls on players to “rescue survivors from the hungry hordes
and gather as many supplies as you can.
“But if you miss the helicopter to safety, you’ll
be left behind!”
Outside developer partners of these games will be
able to earn money through video advertising.

Arsenal, a prominent team in the Premier League, has reached out regarding a potential transfer for highly sought-after Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen. They aim to secure his move from the Italian side Napoli. The 25-year-old has established himself as a prolific striker in Europe during his three-and-a-half years with Napoli, scoring 67 goals in 119 appearances across all competitions. Osimhen, who won the Golden Boot last season with 26 goals in 32 Serie A matches, played a crucial role in Napoli clinching their first Scudetto title in three decades. Despite signing a contract extension until June 2026 in December, the player is expected to leave Napoli in the summer, with interest from top European clubs such as Real Madrid and PSG. In the Premier League, Arsenal and Chelsea are believed to be the main contenders for his signature.

A House of Representatives member representing Ideato Federal Constituency in Imo state, Ikenga Ugochinyere, has said that some South-East governors have failed to bring an end to the crisis in the region because they are benefiting from it. Ugochinyere made the allegation while appearing on Arise TV on Wednesday morning, July 12. “There’s so much power that the president has in the constitution that he could use to bring this matter to a close within the shortest possible time. But the South-East leaders need to sit down to find a common ground over this issue of insecurity. The most important thing is that we want peace in the South-East because everywhere is devastated. Erosion is killing us. Infrastructure has collapsed. And then we cannot even sleep because our houses are being burnt and our people are being killed. This is not good. Any leader that wants the progress and unity of Nigeria definitely will open his doors to allow stakeholders to come in to allow stakeholders to fi
