The lead designer of XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Jake Solomon from Firaxis Games, admitted that the company is seriously considering the possibility of transferring Civilization V to mobile devices running iOS.
He stated this in an interview with a correspondent of the well-known Pocket Gamer resource. Solomon expressed his desire to play real, “big” games on smartphones and tablets.
Recall that Civilization Revolution, released on iOS in 2009, did not win any special laurels. Nevertheless, Firaxis has taken up porting its recent hit XCOM to mobile devices, the release of which in the App Store is scheduled for this summer. If the game is successful, then the probability of the appearance of mobile Civilization V may well turn into certainty.
