Colin McRae Rally the first of five Codemasters mobile titles

MCV Staff 28th June 2013 Business News

Codemasters revived popular racing series Colin McRae for iOS this week, but the publisher says this is only the beginning.

The firm is developing four more titles for smartphones and tablets, which kicks off a "pretty full" roadmap of mobile games for the next two years, according to VG247.

VP of digital business Gary Rowe claims these games could even dictate what the publisher tries next on consoles.

"The smart device market is a great way to test out new ideas," he said. "Aside from working with legendary games like Colin McRae Rally, we’re readying a whole roster of games.

"Some are based on existing and familiar IP, and others are completely new that have been developed exclusively for mobile. If we can leverage success on smart devices, we’d be delighted to see what can then work in the console space."
