Devil May Cry dev reveals free-to-play iOS, Android game

Enslaved: Oddysey to the West and DmC: Devil May Cry developer Ninja Theory has partnered with Chillingo for a free-to-play iOS and Android game called Fightback, the companies announced today.

It is the United Kingdom studio's first mobile game and is described as an action game with a "striking '80s action movie vibe and a revolutionary touch-based combat system."

Yesterday, Ninja Theory said it would have "something new to show" today.

Ninja Theory product manager Dominic Matthews explained that the mobile and tablet game market has become too prevalent to ignore.

"Mobile and tablet gaming is a phenomenon that we just couldn't ignore as a studio and we're very proud to be working with one of the industry's heavy-weights on bringing Fightback to market," Matthews said in a statement.

Fightback will launch this summer. The game will be playable next month during the 2013 Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles.
