Good News for Glu


Glu Mobile Inc. (Nasdaq:GLUU), a leading global publisher of mobile games, today announced an agreement with Activision, Inc. (NASDAQ:ATVI) that will extend the companies' exclusive, worldwide partnership to include Call of Duty: World at War for mobile phones.

Glu had released Call of Duty 4:Modern Warfare last year.

"We're excited to extend our partnership with Activision and bring Call of Duty: World at War to mobile gamers worldwide," said Jill Braff, senior vice president of global publishing, Glu. "The Call of Duty franchise has been a great addition to Glu's portfolio of award-winning games, and we look forward to the continued success it will bring to the action category."

Call of Duty is one of the top selling console games in history having recently announced that Call of Duty 4 had crossed 10 million in unit sales, supposedly only one of 10 games to reach that mark since 2000.

The Glu mobile version of Call of Duty: World at War, which Glu will develop and publish, will be scheduled for deployment to consumers on major wireless carriers around the world.

"Glu has solid studio capabilities and carrier relationships around the world, and is well-positioned to continue to bring the Call of Duty experience to mobile consumers," said Dave Anderson, senior director, business development, Activision Publishing, Inc.
