Ninja Theory's next project is F2P mobile game Fightback
Touch-based action combat and a hardboiled action vibe
Ninja Theory revealed its latest action-packed project this week. After a tour on PS3 and Xbox 360 with Heavenly Sword and DmC: Devil May Cry, Ninja Theory is going mobile with Fightback.
The free-to-play game borrows an '80s action movie aesthetic to complement its touch-based melee combat and gunplay. Fightback is being published by EA-owned Chillingo.
"Mobile and tablet gaming is a phenomenon that we just couldn’t ignore as a studio and we’re very proud to be working with one of the industry’s heavyweights on bringing Fightback to market," Ninja Theory Product Manager Dominic Matthews said in a statement. "Ninja Theory has always strived for the highest production values and that absolutely remains the case in this exciting new space."
Fightback will hit iOS and Android this summer.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at GamesRadar.
