As the game has 6 more days to be launched in PS3, the team and Ubisoft decided to start a competition called Infinity Cup. Both teams had to contact YouTube members with a high amount of subscribers and asked them to participate in the cup. This is an amazing before-launch promotion/advertisement for any game.
The interesting part of this cup is that is somehow similar to the OlympicsIn other words, they gathered people from all over the world and the first place will win an amazing price plus several free copies of the game…? Who knows. The battle is fierce and apparently Canada is on the lead… for now, let’s how the other gamers do!

What is all this about? It's the Infinity Cup! Yeah!
Cloudberry Kingdom is a hardcore, competitive platformer, with a focus on "competitive". So, what better way to announce the game than to have a contest between the best YouTube gamers in the world?
The contest lasts from July 23rd to July 30th, during which time the contestants can play as many sittings as they want to secure the high score. The winner of the contest gets loot, glory, eternal fame, AND, best of all, 50 copies of Cloudberry Kingdom to give out to their viewers.
Cloudberry Kingdom is launching on July 30th on Playstation 3, July 31st on Xbox 360 and Steam, and August 1st on WiiU. And, for those of you out there that want to get it on some competitive platformer action, have no fear: we'll be holding a contest the week of launch for everyone to join in on.
Stay tuned!
