UK Developer claims Apple’s technology will be a turning point for mobile games
September 9th, Oxford UK – Independent UK games developer Rebellion was today announced as a partner developer on Apple’s Metal technology during today’s keynote.
Best known for their chart-topping PC and console titles including Sniper Elite 3 and Aliens vs Predator, Rebellion has been making waves on mobile in recent years with technologically advanced iOS titles including Zombie HQ, Harmony Isle and Joust Legend.
All of Rebellion’s games run on their versatile multiplatform game engine Asura, and Rebellion Co-founder and CTO Chris Kingsley realised Metal’s potential as soon as it was announced at Apple’s WWDC in June of this year:
“We’re excited to be working so closely with Apple’s technology in our Asura Engine as it will empower us to code to the metal, remove some of the main rendering bottlenecks and bring even better looking, more immersive games to iOS devices. Metal is leading the way in the next generation of mobile rendering technologies. It could be a real turning point for mobile gaming.”
