Nokia develops new N-gage technology

A Nokia-sponsored blog has revealed that the next-gen N-Gage platform is set to launch later this year, with two major publishers already committed to releasing a range of new titles.

The news comes just days after reports emerged that Nokia has begun showcasing its new N-Gage technology at a secret meeting in Santa Monica. The technology will be used in a series of phones rather than a single dedicated handset.

“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.

According to Nokia’s blog, the “biggest franchises and hottest mobile games” will be available to N-Gage users “by early 2008”.
