Globacom has rolled out a new mobile gaming offering, Travel Saga, positioning it as a premium, high-energy digital experience aimed at deepening mobile entertainment on its network.
The telecommunications company said the game, which is already live and available to subscribers, is designed as a story-driven role-playing experience that mirrors the intensity and complexity typically associated with popular console and action titles. By bringing this level of gameplay to data-enabled mobile devices, Glo is seeking to blur the traditional line between console gaming and mobile entertainment.
According to the company, Travel Saga has been carefully optimized for smartphones, allowing users to engage in fast-paced missions and competitive battles without compromising performance. The game places players in a constantly evolving virtual environment, where success is determined by a mix of skill, strategy, and endurance. As users progress, they are drawn into expanding storylines that challenge them to rise through the ranks and earn recognition as elite war heroes.
A central feature of the game is its use of familiar international landscapes, which serve as backdrops for quick virtual journeys and intense combat scenarios. Players are encouraged not only to fight but also to explore different locations, complete challenging tasks, and compete against others for in-game rewards. These rewards include points and victory badges, which are earned through consistent participation and achievement, helping to sustain engagement as players advance through different levels.
Globacom noted that the immersive nature of Travel Saga is built around continuous progression, with each completed mission unlocking new challenges and story elements. This layered approach, the company said, is intended to keep players engaged over time, while fostering a strong sense of competition within the gaming community on its network.
To make the service accessible, the firm introduced flexible subscription options. Customers can choose between a daily plan priced at ₦100 and a weekly plan costing ₦250, with both one-time and auto-renewal options available. Subscription and instant access to the game can be activated by dialing *70021#.
With the launch of Travel Saga, Globacom is reinforcing its broader strategy of leveraging digital services to enhance customer experience beyond traditional voice and data offerings. The company said the game reflects its ongoing commitment to innovation, as well as its focus on delivering high-quality digital content that is seamlessly supported by its network infrastructure.
As competition intensifies within Nigeria’s telecoms sector, initiatives such as Travel Saga highlight how operators are increasingly turning to value-added digital experiences to retain customers and drive engagement, particularly among younger, tech-savvy users seeking entertainment on the go.
