Activision Taps Glu for Mobile Modern Warfare 2, Guitar Hero 5

As part of an ongoing partnership, Glu Mobile will develop mobile adaptations of four upcoming Activision titles, including Guitar Hero 5 and the Infinity Ward-developed first-person shooter Modern Warfare 2. Glu will additionally create a mobile version of Bizarre Creations' action-oriented racer Blur, along with a port of the skateboarding sim Tony Hawk: RIDE. "We're delighted to bring four more innovative and accessible Activision titles to the mobile platform," said Glu Mobile senior vice president of global publishing Jill Braff. "Past titles within Activision's leading portfolio of franchises have been a tremendous success for us and we look forward to bringing these much anticipated titles to the mobile market." Previously, Activision contracted Glu to develop mobile ports of Call of Duty: World at War and Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Glu's mobile adaptations of all four Activision-branded titles will be released in the fourth quarter of 2009 for Android, Blackberry, BREW, J2ME and Windows Mobile platforms.
