GungHo Online Entertainment, Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Kazuki Morishita; Company hereinafter referred to as "GungHo") hereby announces the Amazon Fire TV*1 release of P&D TV on January 5, 2017. P&D TV is a video app that lets users watch video content from the currently available puzzle-based RPG smartphone game Puzzle & Dragons (commonly referred to as P&D in English).

P&D was originally released on February 20, 2012 and has since won the favor of an incredible number of players. The game has exceeded 44 million*2 downloads on a cumulative basis in Japan as of December 24, 2016. The game has also been well-received in North America, Europe, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan and elsewhere, where it's enjoyed by even more players of all ages and genders.

The video app we're releasing, called P&D TV, lets users watch P&D series video content which includes that from the Nintendo 3DS™ title Puzzle & Dragons CROSS (Kami-no-Sho/Ryu-no-Sho), as well as content from the original P&D. There is a wide variety of video content that will be made available, including content from the popular animated series Puzzle & Dragons CROSS (currently well-received and airing on 6 TV Tokyo network stations) and walkthrough videos for the games. The below 5 channels allow users access to video content free-of-charge.
