Gameloft, Capcom agree publishing deal

Gameloft has agreed a deal with Capcom Mobile to publish six new games in Europe next year, including Resident Evil and Street Fighter titles.

Under the deal, French publisher Gameloft will distribute Resident Evil: Uprising, Street Fighter: Alpha and Lost Planet 2 for a range of mobile platforms.

The firm will further release Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, Dead Rising 2 and Where's Wally 2. All games will be released throughout Europe at some point during 2010.

"These are great titles coming from Capcom and we are very excited to partner with them to bring these games to all consumers using different distribution channels and marketing resources," said Gameloft senior vice president of publishing Gonzague de Vallois.

Capcom Mobile executive vice president of publishing Matt Gillis added: "Gameloft has tremendous strength with its massive distribution network in Europe.

"The company has continually proven to excel at publishing the best games for all types of audiences and we are fully confident that this partnership will not only benefit both parties involved, but most importantly the end user."

Gameloft yesterday revealed plans to "significantly" scale back its investment in developing games for Google's Android platform due to the ongoing success of the iPhone.
