Following the upcoming movie American Gangster from Universal Pictures, Gameloft will release a mobile game which takes the player back to the 70’s crime filled New York.
The game takes the player to Harlem, a crime center in 70’s New York where the player has to work up the crime ladder as Frank Lucas or try to take down the crime empire as outcast cop Richie Roberts. The fact that the player can choose which side it works at, means Gameloft is offering more than the various other crime based mobile games on the market today.
“With their intriguing storylines, identifiable characters and intense action, crime dramas are an ideal backdrop for mobile games,” said Michel Guillemot, president, Gameloft. “We plan to work closely with Universal Pictures to deliver a powerful action title that is both a solid extension of the film’s storyline, as well as a memorable and quality mobile game experience.”
“Gameloft’s focus on quality makes them a perfect partner for this film,” said Jeremy Laws, Senior Vice President of Universal Mobile Entertainment. “American Gangster: The Mobile Game is the perfect mobile complement to this powerful film.”
