Glu to ramp up production of iPhone, N-Gage and Android games
Most of its 2008 titles will go high-end
Glu Mobile is planning a big push on high-end mobile gaming in 2009, focusing on iPhone, Android and N-Gage.
"We believe the market for high-end handsets will grow significantly in 2009, and we are spending an increasing share of our development expenses on titles for high-end handsets," says boss Greg Ballard (pictured).
"We will bring the majority of our titles currently planned for launch in 2009 to high-end devices, such as the iPhone, N-Gage and Android, as we continue to support Java, BREW and existing smart phones."
So far, Glu has released one iPhone game (Space Monkey), one N-Gage game (World Series of Poker: Pro Challenge), and has announced its first Android title (Bonsai Blast). It seems they'll be followed by many more in 2009.
Glu will hope its strategy pays off – the company has just announced that its revenues for the third quarter of this year will be slightly lower than expected.
