[UPDATE: The version of the story published originally claimed that the games below are coming to iOS. In fact, they're coming to Java. Our profound apologies.]

Gameloft has distributed a press release announcing its mobile titles for the remainder of 2011.

The second half of the year on mobile looks like a season for sequels and established licences, including Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 and a game based on forthcoming Greek myth-fuelled action movie Immortals.

Other titles include Driver: San Francisco, Lego Batman, a Gangstar game set in Rio, and a port of Sid Meier's Civilisation V.

The most interesting inclusion to our eyes is Wild West Guns, described as “the first open-world western action game on mobile”. Being a Gameloft game, that means it'll be a clone of Red Dead Redemption.

"Varied environments (great plains, deserts, mountains, ghost towns, etc.) with over 30 missions and a surprising plot."

Yep. Red Dead.

True to the general theme of the day, the Wild West Guns franchise is already established in a 2009 shooter for iOS and Wii, though this appears to be a major reboot.

Here's the full list.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2

Immortals
Wild West Guns
Gangstar Rio: City of Saints
Real Football 2012
