Vir2L Studios Publishing Games on iPhone

Vir2L Base Jumper screenEarly last month Vir2L Studios released Vir2L Base Jumper [App Store] for the iPhone and iPod touch.

Vir2L Base Jumper, as the title might suggest, is a base jumping game that challenges the player to stay on course. Vir2L Base Jumper recently dropped in price to $0.99 (down from $1.99) and a free, lite version [App Store] was just released that features but one suit, one helmet, and one parachute with gameplay in the City high-rise setting, only.

Vir2L has also published a Frogger-like game Scram Sam [App Store] and most recently rhythm game Vir2L Drums [App Store].

It’s worth noting that Vir2L Studios are owned by ZeniMax Media Inc., a Rockville, Maryland-based developer, marketer, and publisher that also owns Bethesda Softworks, developer of The Elder Scrolls series of RPGs and, more recently, the highly popular console hit Fallout 3.  Vir2L Studios already publishes a number of Elder Scrolls games for mobile phones.

And while Vir2L Base Jumper is a rather basic iPhone title, we are most interested to see what future plans the studio has for Apple’s mobile platform. A Bethesda producer had previously announced that one of their next projects is an iPhone game.
