Wargaming Mobile will publish titles from startup Gunslinger Studios

Gunslinger Studios and Wargaming Mobile are announcing a strategic partnership in which Wargaming, the publisher of World of Tanks, will publish Gunslinger’s mobile combat role-playing games. The deal shows that Wargaming is willing to move into mobile games, particularly when the audience is similar to the hardcore players that it has on PC.

Gunslinger was founded by Tim Harris, who is also cofounder of a sister company, Industrial Toys, which Harris and Halo co-creator Alex Seropian founded in 2012. Industrial Toys created the shooter Midnight Star. But Gunslinger is focused on a different kind of game: a high-end console-like experience on mobile.
