For mobile but also other downloadable games platforms.
Gameloft has announced a licensing deal with games firm Interplay to make a game based on 90s console title Earthworm Jim.
The deal includes mobile - although the announcement doesn't specify whether iPhone is included in that - but also various games consoles.
Gameloft's remake will be available through WiiWare, PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade, with an exclusive one-month run on the latter.
The new game is expected to go on sale in the last quarter of this year. It's the latest sign that Gameloft sees its future as a multi-platform publisher, rather than a mobile-only firm.
Indeed, it's now describing itself as a "publisher of downloadable video games" in press releases.

"We are delighted to partner with Interplay to bring Earthworm Jim to multiple downloadable platforms," says SVP Gonzague de Vallois.
"The game, with its humorous and edgy style, is a great fit for today's gamer who craves a fully immersive experience that is fun and easily accessible."
