Nokia to create multiplatform N-Gage game?

In a major attempt to hook gamers besides those with N-Gage into its fold, Nokia is working on an unrevealed multi-format game that will run on both the PC and N-Gage. Temporarily named “Project White Rock”, Nokia is working on integrating Sega Dreamcast’s SNAP technology that enables game devices to work together with PCs into the game.

Nokia believes that such a move will innovate the concept of mobile gaming. While attempting to reach out to both mobile and PC gamers with a single game can be quite a risk, Nokia believes this will pay off if the company is able to pull off this project without a hitch.

“Project White Rock” developer RedLynx is giving only out a few gameplay details at this point, such as the game having over a thousand lines of spoken dialogue. However, Pocket Gamer was told that N-Gage’s upcoming title will not be an RPG game.

Game producer Scott Foe will be at the helm of Nokia’s ambitious project. Foe was the manager of Sega Dreamcast’s online gaming titles, and he also oversaw the development of the first mobile MMOG, Pocket Kingdom: Own the World, making him an suitable choice for the position.
