Gameloft Confirms N.O.V.A. Elite
April 1, 2011
Gameloft confirmed the existence of N.O.V.A. Elite, the next game in the popular N.O.V.A. series. The announcement was made on the company’s official Facebook profile where it posted the photo shown here. Unfortunately, nothing else is yet known about the game.
Just yesterday, we reported that the next version of N.O.V.A might utilize Epic Game’s Unreal Engine 3, according to PocketGamer. This would be the first of Gameloft’s four upcoming games that will use the incredible technology.
Earlier this month, Paris-based Gameloft announced a licensing agreement with Epic Games that enables them to incorporate the Unreal Engine 3 in four new games. The game engine includes advanced technologies such as HDRR, per-pixel lights, and dynamic shadows.
Under the agreement, Gameloft plans to release the games on multiple mobile and downloadable platforms, including iOS, Android, PlayStation Network and set-top boxes.
Today's announcement does not confirm N.O.V.A. Elite will use Unreal Engine 3, only that the game exists. More than likely, however, it is probably the first of the four games that will be released in the next two years, which use the technology.
