DeNA's Mobage mobile gaming network is very popular in Japan - 32 million subscribers and counting - so it's looking to expand to the rest of world.

It's currently available in beta on Android Market as a standalone app, as well as being integrated into various games including Pocket Frogs, We Rule, and Paper Toss.

And DeNA has just announced its plan to roll out the service further.

It expects to have the full Android version out during October, with an iOS version released before the end of the year.

What out next?

In conjunction with this, it's announced some of its winter releases.

These include already successful iOS games such as NimbleBit's Tiny Tower, TinyCo's Tiny Chef, Kamagames's Texas Poker, and Bolt Creative's Pocket God (which is already available on Android).

Other big games are due from Japanese studio Tecmo Koei, such as Monster Rancher for Everyone, while Korean online giant Nexon will release a mobile version of its massively popular MapleStory.

Interestingly, DeNA has also revealed that two brand new freemium games are coming from ngmoco - Dragon Craft and Skyfall RPG. No further details were given.

And looking into early 2012, DeNA internal studio Gameview will release its Tap Fish games and Tap Ranch 2, while iOS hit Fragger, Chunsoft's Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer, and Grasshopper's as-yet unnamed No More Heroes game should also be arriving.
