The original Fieldrunners is an App Store classic, and is largely responsible for sparking off the huge influx of tower defense games on mobile. In 2012 Fieldrunners 2 took everything great about the original and expanded on it, creating quite possibly my favorite tower defense game on iOS. That was a couple of years ago though, so what’s Fieldrunners developer Subatomic been up to since then? Well according to Pocketgamer.biz, they’ve partnered up with Flaregames to release a new Fieldrunners title sometime in 2015.
The Pocketgamer.biz article is an interview with Flaregames’ CEO Klaas Kersting, and most people will probably be familiar with Flaregames by way of their hugely popular Royal Revolt 2. Unfortunately, very few details about the new Fieldrunners are available, as it’s still quite early. However, we do know that Flaregames will be both co-developing as well as publishing the game, and we know that it will be free to play. Yep, get out the pitchforks and torches. At any rate, Fieldrunners is one of my favorite series, so I look forward to finding out more about its next entry sometime in the future.
