New Dungeon Keeper Announced for Mobile Platforms

A new Dungeon Keeper game, simply titled Dungeon Keeper, has been announced by EA at Gamescom. So far, so good, though I’d wager not everyone will be happy about the fact that it’s a mobile-only title coming for iOS and Android this winter:

Welcome Back, Keeper! EA Announces Dungeon Keeper For Mobile Devices

Twisted New Take on Cult Classic Strategy Game Coming To iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Android Devices This Winter

Horny’s Back and better than ever in Dungeon Keeper on mobile! Today, EA and Mythic studio announced a mobile reboot of the 1990s hit with the unveiling of Dungeon Keeper on site at EA’s Gamescom Business Lounge. Coming to iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Android devices this winter, Dungeon Keeper provides an addictive mix of strategic building and tower defense; it’s a ground-breaking mobile experience that’s diabolically fun to its core.

As the hands-on overlord of your very own subterranean lair, design a devilish dungeon with expertly laid tunnels and traps, unearth treasures, and collect and command minions in a battle to dominate the ever-expanding underworld. Invade other players’ dungeons and unleash the powers of the Hand of Evilâ„¢. Your opponents will tremble in fear at the sight of your army and the force of your spells as you lay waste to their defenses and destroy their dungeons!

Filled with engaging graphics, explosive PvP and PvE gameplay, and wicked wit, Dungeon Keeper proves once again that it’s good to be bad.

Incidentally, the title is being developed by Mythic, which, after Ultima Forever, seems to be specializing in resurrecting old properties in mobile form.
