Gameloft teams up with Sega Europe for mobile games
It was recently made known that mega-mobile-publisher Gameloft has inked a deal with Sega Europe to produce mobile games based on Sega property:
“We are confident this agreement will be the first step towards a long term partnership between Gameloft and SEGA,” said Michel Guillemot, president, Gameloft. “SEGA’s great brands coupled with Gameloft’s long standing history of excellence in mobile game development can only result in an extraordinary mobile experience for consumers.”
The first game to come from the deal is Sonic Unleashed, which Gameloft is describing as a “high speed 2D side-scrolling adventure”.
Gamers will be able to choose from Sonic the Hedgehog or Werehog when this game is made available in Europe, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand in June. I wonder what other games Gameloft has cookin’.
Assassin’s Creed hitting App Store by May
Gameloft, mobile-game-publishing-behemoth, has recently stated that the iPhone (and iPod touch) version of Assassin’s Creed is set to join the likes of games like The Oregon Trail by this May.

Gameloft releases sales numbers
Chances are if you’re big on gaming on mobile phones, and other devices, you’ve probably played a game that Gameloft had a part in developing.
“At Gameloft, we believe that consumers are uncompromising,” said Michel Guillemot, President of Gameloft. “They want the best games for the mobile phone or console in their pocket or at home. They also want immediate access at the lowest cost. We channel our creativity and our determination into creating entertainment that corresponds to their expectations and their need for diversion. That includes adapting it to their lifestyle and their budget.
