About Gameloft
Founded in 1999 by Michel Guillemot (co-founder of Ubisoft), Gameloft started with a vision to bring high-quality video games to mobile devices. During the early 2000s, before the smartphone era, they were the undisputed kings of Java ME and Symbian games, often creating impressive portable versions of major Ubisoft franchises.
For retro console fans, Gameloft is highly regarded for bridging the gap between mobile gaming and dedicated handhelds like the Nintendo DS, PSP, and DSiWare. A prime example is 'Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles' (2008) for the Nintendo DS. Serving as a prequel to the original blockbuster, this fully 3D action-adventure successfully translated the franchise's signature parkour, stealth, and combat into a dual-screen format, proving Gameloft's technical prowess.
Beyond licensed games and Ubisoft spin-offs, Gameloft created highly successful original franchises that pushed portable hardware to its limits, such as the 'Asphalt' racing series, 'N.O.V.A.', and 'Modern Combat'. While their focus later shifted entirely to modern freemium mobile games, their early Java and Nintendo DS catalog remains a nostalgic cornerstone of early portable 3D gaming.
