Following reports that Nokia had been secretly showing off some of the tech behind a possible new N-Gage, a Nokia-sponsored blog has revealed that the next-gen N-Gage platform is set to launch this Autumn. Two major publishers are already reported to be on board to develop titles.
"We expect EA Mobile and Gameloft to bring a number of top-selling, award winning titles to our platform between our launch in September and the end of 2007," a statement on the blog reads. "They aren't the only ones, as throughout the year we will continue to make exciting announcements of other leading publishers adding their titles to our games catalogue."
The technology will be used in a series of phones rather than a single dedicated handset. According to the blog, the "biggest franchises and hottest mobile games" will be available by early next year.
