MUMBAI: Glu Mobile Inc. has launched the Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs game for mobile handsets worldwide. This game marks Glu’s third mobile title based on Fox Mobile Entertainment’s Ice Age franchise and launches in time for the international theatrical release of Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.

The movie is slated to release on 1 July, 2009 and is directed by Carlos Saldanha.

"We are pleased to once again work with Fox Mobile Entertainment to create a great game based on their newest Ice Age film. The Ice Age franchise, with its global mass market appeal, is a hit perfectly suited for the mobile platform," said Glu senior vice president of global publishing Jill Braff.

"We continue to enjoy a strong working relationship with Glu and we have every confidence that the Dawn of the Dinosaurs game will be a huge hit on mobile platforms around the world," said Fox Mobile Entertainment senior vice president Andrew Stalbow.

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs provides an entirely new mobile experience to complement Glu’s previous Ice Age games. Our beloved heroes return for an action-packed rescue mission full of prehistoric fun. Having disappeared into a strange world beneath the ice, Sid needs to escape from nasty dinosaurs to recover his missing eggs. Players avoid dangers like carnivorous plants, deadly tar pits and molten lava by sliding down hills, riding on dinosaurs and swinging from tall cliffs – all the while protecting Sid’s precious cargo.
