News have just reached our ears that Sega of America has just inked a deal with European mobile game developer Universomo to bring games off some of their well-known franchises to mobile handsets.

It seems that Sega really is going full throttle in their campaign to move into the mobile industry as the European branch of the said company has also tied up with Rockpool Games to do exactly the same thing -- port Sega-branded games to mobile phones.

Universomo will be tasked with designing and developing the games and it looks like they already have two Sega games in development, both of which are all prepped for a Spring release this year. Glenn Wissner, Senior Producer at Sega of America, says,

Universomo really understands Sega product and have been excellent in keeping to original designs while also adding their own spin and taking our well known brands to a new level of quality. They meet their objectives and often exceed our expectation in the areas of game design, playability and art direction. I look forward to working with Universomo on future games.
