Konami is announcing today that it is publishing the Star Wars: Force Collection card battle game for iOS and Android the devices.

The game will be available simultaneously on both mobile platforms on Sept. 4.

Japan’s Konami, a console publisher that wants to break into new digital markets such as tablets, is one of the beneficiaries of that strategy.
