"Paris Hilton is one of the world’s most recognised names and we are thrilled to be able collaborate with her on mobile gaming titles," said Animoca CEO Robby Yung.

"With Paris’ eye for what’s hot in the latest trends, and our experience at making popular mobile games, we are confident that consumers around the world will be receptive to Paris Hilton mobile game and themes."
