Gameloft To Bring Avatar: The Mobile Game To The iPhone And iPod Touch

Gameloft has just announced a licensing agreement with Fox Mobile Entertainment to develop, publish, and distribute the mobile game based on James Cameron's highly anticipated Avatar.

“With a riveting storyline and compelling characterization, Avatar: the Mobile Game will raise the bar for the mobile game user experience,” said Gonzague de Vallois, senior vice-president, Gameloft. “Gameloft’s expertise in movie-based games, promises the Avatar mobile game will have tremendous appeal to both casual and hardcore gamers alike.”

Avatar: The Mobile Game will be available worldwide on all mobile platforms right around the time the film is released on December 18th.  I was able to confirm with Gameloft's Carmen Pearson that the iPhone and iPod touch version of the game will be "larger and more feature-rich due to its capabilities," which should hopefully put to rest any fears you may have had about a measly port of a mobile game. If you haven't seen the official Avatar film trailer yet in all of its blue glory, I recommend checking it out on Apple's website.
