Game-hungry mobile users will surely be excited to find out that EA Mobile is preparing no less than four new titles, based on games developed by the British company Eidos Interactive. These are: Tomb Raider Underworld, California Games X, Just Cause 2 and Minesweeper.
 

Exclusively licensed by Eidos to Electronic Arts' subsidiary, the games will be distributed by EA Mobile via all of its mobile channels. Furthermore, the company will be able to opt for developing even more Eidos games, so the future looks quite good.
 

With more than 35 million games sold across the globe and two blockbuster films, the Tomb Raider franchise needs no presentation, hence its upcoming mobile iteration will most probably be a huge success. The other three Eidos games, Just Cause 2, California Games X and Minesweeper are also set to offer lots of cool mobile moments.
 

"Eidos has a valuable portfolio of intellectual property, including the world famous Tomb Raider games. This deal gives EA Mobile immediate access to not one but four high profile titles, which will appeal to a broad audience on mobile platforms," stated Javier Ferreira, vice president of European Publishing at EA Mobile.
 

Simon Protheroe, online publishing director at Eidos, further added, "EA Mobile is the world leader for mobile publishing, with excellent carrier and OEM relationships in all corners of the globe. We have had great success with Eidos products on mobile platforms to date and this strategic relationship will allow us to focus on making quality mobile titles and utilising the presence and scale that EA Mobile has in the marketplace."

 

No word yet on when exactly the four new mobile games will be available for download and purchase. However, a sure thing is that Tomb Raider Underworld will not come earlier than its console / PC versions, which should hit the market sometime in November this year. With a little luck, mobile gamers will get the title before the year's end too.
