Console game Titanfall to spawn a series of freemium mobile games

Partnership between developer Respawn Entertainment and free-to-play firm Nexon sees both invest in mobile studio that makes the games

First-person shooter Titanfall made a big impact when it stomped on to PC and Xbox consoles in 2014. Now the game is squeezing its giant mechanised armoured transports down for smartphone and tablet screens.

Its developer Respawn Entertainment has struck a deal with free-to-play games firm Nexon that will see both investing in mobile developer Particle City, which will be creating several mobile games based on Titanfall.
