 Publisher Glu Mobile has announced that it has signed a multi-year agreement with Fox Mobile Entertainment to develop and publish mobile games and content based on the Ice Age brand. Glu will begin by developing and publishing the mobile-exclusive game Ice Age: Mammoth Mayhem, scheduled for launch in the summer of 2008.
Blue Sky Studios and Fox Animation have announced that Ice Age 3, the latest installment in the Ice Age franchise, will be fully produced in digital 3D, with global theatrical release scheduled for July 1, 2009.
Ice Age 2: Arctic Slide was one of Glu's top-selling games worldwide for 2006.
"Our initial work with Fox on Ice Age 2 proved a tremendous commercial success," said Greg Ballard, president and chief executive officer, Glu. "We're excited to have the opportunity to build on that success with our new mobile-exclusive Ice Age game scheduled for summer of this year, and with a subsequent mobile game based on Fox's Ice Age 3 movie, scheduled for release in 2009."
"Glu's ability to execute on a worldwide basis, their creative abilities, and their understanding of the Ice Age brand makes them the logical partner for the Ice Age franchise," said Mitch Feinman, Senior Vice President, Fox Mobile Entertainment. "We're pleased to be working with Glu in bringing our worldwide audience new ways to interact with the Ice Age characters they've come to know and adore."
