NEXON Co. and iRespawn Entertainment announced today that the companies have partnered to create several new and original smartphone and tablet games based on the expansive sci-fi universe of Titanfall. In connection with the partnership, the two companies jointly invested in mobile game developer Particle City, the studio leading the development of the upcoming titles. In this multi-game, multi-year partnership, Nexon will serve as the exclusive global publisher of the Titanfall mobile games, with the first game expected to be released worldwide on iOS and Android in 2016.
The collaboration with Respawn and Particle City is Nexon’s latest in a series of global partnerships. Recently, Nexon announced a partnership with Respawn and Electronic Arts to bring a PC online version of the award-winning first-person shooter Titanfall to Asia.
Through the partnership, Nexon and Respawn will build on Titanfall’s franchise to deliver a high-quality game experience to the $30 billion mobile gaming market. Titanfall was the most-awarded game of E3 2013, earning more than 100 nominations and 60-plus wins, including a record-breaking six E3 Critics’ Awards. The title was the third highest-rated Xbox One game released in 2014, according to videogame review score aggregator Metacritic.
So, are you gonna check out a mobile Titanfall game when it comes out. Â We are kind of skeptical, but hey, who knows, we’ll have to see what they bring to the table (or is that tablet?).
