News::Codemasters considering Cannon Fodder revival as part of move into mobile


Cannon Fodder is among several Codemasters IPs ripe for revival as it increasingly moves into mobile game development, the UK studio has told us.


Codemasters released Colin McRae Rally on iOS last week, the first of several mobile games currently in development. The studio has 60 developers working on mobile projects after it decided to move into the space a year ago, Codemasters VP of digital Gary Rowe told us.


“We’re very lucky to have some amazing IP to work with,” he said. “Hopefully fans will love the new Colin McRae game and if they do we can explore more classic racing games. I’d love to do World Touring Cars, it was the best of the TOCA Touring Car series in my opinion. Cannon Fodder is an IP we get a lot of fans asking for so we’ll look at that.”


“We are also working on games that extend our current portfolio of IPs, alongside some original themed titles, all in all I hope we’ll have a range that will please Codemasters fans both classic and current.”


Rowe also told us that the UK studio has classic and brand new driving games in development, plus “one or two real surprises.”
