Some unfortunate news coming out of Gameloft today, as their next entry in their Modern Combat series which was scheduled to be released before the end of this year has been delayed until an unspecified time in 2014. The delay is due to the development team’s desire to “fully achieve our vision for Modern Combat 5" which means they aren’t willing to release the game until they feel that it’s ready. I’d rather wait a bit longer for a fully realized product, and I think most gamers would agree.
We last saw Modern Combat 5 when we went hands-on with it at E3 this past June, and from what I’ve been told the title has come a long way since then. That’s saying something, as it looked pretty darn awesome in the E3 build. I loved Modern Combat 4 so I’m very eager to see where this new game ends up when it finally reaches the finish line.
If you’re looking for a bright side to this delay, Gameloft has divulged that while we won’t be seeing a Modern Combat game before the end of the year, we will be seeing the next Brothers in Arms title in time for the holidays. We last saw Brothers in Arms 3 at E3 this year as well, but unlike Modern Combat 5 it was in a pretty rough early state. Still, it showed a lot of promise with its heavy emphasis on cover mechanics, and I’m told that this game, too, has come a very long way since that early build at E3.
Hearing about the delay for Modern Combat 5 is a bummer, but hopefully Brothers in Arms 3 can deliver some satisfaction in the interim. We’ll let you know once we hear more about Brother in Arms 3‘s release as well as an updated release window for Modern Combat 5 once Gameloft is ready to announce one.
Freemium Crap * Freemium Crap = Freemium Crap^2
gameloft and com2us was fine
Usually a negative times a negative equals a positive but math and video games usually don't mix.
Lol
Hmm.. This could be a good thing or, since dominate the ARPG field, could make their games horribly infested with IAP's. More so then they are now.
"More so then they are now."
Is this even possible?
You better believe it!
IAPs galore!
Baseball superstars and Homerun battle 3D crossover game!
Oh my god, ZenoniaXInotia?! 0.o
that really does sound great even if Gamevil became money hungry
That's their new name: EvenmoregamEvil4us
...and no one cared
...Which is exactly why this is our most popular story of the morning.

11 comments (12 now). Slow morning.
I meant traffic-wise. Not everyone who reads a story feels compelled to leave a comment. :)
Yo dawg, I heard you like IAPs...
I always confused these two anyway ... seems like it would be good synergy and cross-pollination of ideas and stuff.
I can't unsee the evil in Gamevil.
Gamevil new developer name, iAPunstopable
Where is Inotia 5!
Gamevil was pretty bad 2 years ago but I tried the new Baseball Superstars and Zenonia 5 mad thought they were far less egregious with the abuse of IAP than their predecessor.
uh I did not seen the same zENONIA 5 TEN BECAUSE IT WAS DOWNRIGHT UNPLAYABLE BECAUSE OF THE PAYWALLS
Hurry up EA and buy Gameloft already. Gamevil is starting to climb on the poll of greedy,useless, pay2win company.
9 innings and their golf game are already full of IAP .
G▲MEVIL... see what I did there?
Illuminaughties! Stop!
Isn't competition a great th----oh wait.. :'(
Gamevil was pretty good in the days of Zenonia 1 & 2 but when freemium took off they went all in and I won't even look at their garbage now.
the sad thing is their games still look great and have better gameplay than most of what we see on mobile but all of them are pay2win.What's weird is that those two specific companies own great games ruined by iaps with wasted potential
I hope they don't take away my baseball game
Freemium crap collaboration
They can pay $65m for com2us but they can't effin update any of the good zenonias with iPhone 5 resolution??? Talk about cheap....
I played and completed Zenonia 1 and Zenonia 2, I had an attempt at Zenonia 3 but the amount of crap that they put in their games eventually made it unplayable. It's a shame, the games were good until they were trying to shoehorn money-making outlets into their games.
how much fun i had with caligo chasers by com2us i cant wait to see the next gen zenonia/inotia
