Malta-based developer Yggdrasil has launched its new HTML5 framework, which will accommodate simultaneous desktop and mobile games releases.

Yggdrasil's The Dark Joker Rizes

The first game on the new framework is The Dark Joker Rizes, a five-reel, 10-payline slot and the follow-up to Yggdrasil’s popular Jokerizer.

Fredrik Elmqvist, CEO, said: “The Dark Joker Rizes is a deep, truly feature-rich game and is a sign of things to come as we start to migrate our content to the new HTML5 framework.

“We’re extremely excited about the new framework which enables tandem game drops that will create a massive advantage for our partners.”
