[UPDATE] Gameloft reveals a dozen mobile games for 2011, including Lego Batman, Immortals, and a Red Dead-alike
The franchises strike back
[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.
