Ubisoft keen to launch casual range for iPhone and iPod touch
Presumably through Gameloft
Console publisher Ubisoft is keen to bring its Games For Everyone casual range to iPhone and iPod Touch, according to executive producer Pauline Jacquey.
In an interview with CasualGaming.biz, she outlines Ubisoft's multi-platform intentions for the range:
"We'll be making games not only on PC, PS3 and 360, but on iPhone and iPod touch as well. When it comes to the mobile industry, Ubisoft sister company Gameloft looks after that and I'm not in charge of it. They will be borrowing more from the Games For Everyone range."Gameloft is already one of Apple's key publisher partners for iPhone and iPod touch (and regular iPods, for that matter). Indeed, the publisher has to date brought several Games For Everyone brands to mobile phones, including Dogz and a Pippa Funnell horse game.
However, it's doubtful whether the young gamers who many of these titles are targeted at will rather play them on an iPhone or iPod touch than on, say, a DS.
