HSINCHU, Nov. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Gameloft, a leading global publisher of digital and social games, and MediaTek, a leading fabless semiconductor company specializing in wireless communications and digital multimedia solutions, announce that the hotly anticipated Modern Combat 5 will be optimized on the new MT6592 octa-core smartphone chip, for Android smartphones.

The MT6592, MediaTek's latest innovation, is the first true octa-core processor in the world, and Gameloft's next title, Modern Combat 5, will be the first game optimized for the new chip. As mobile gaming moves forward highly detailed and realistic gameplay, the need for higher performance chipset is required.

"We're thrilled to expand our collaboration with MediaTek," said Ludovic Blondel, Vice President OEM at Gameloft. "This new octa-core system on a chip is focused on high performance and is one of the best mobile technologies on today's market. We are delighted to showcase this innovative, high-end technology in Modern Combat 5, one of our most awaited games of 2014."

"With the rapid development of mobile Internet applications and services, mobile gaming has become one of the leading value-added services for our customers and the best medium to experience the power of True Octa-Core with our MT6592 chip," said Jeffrey Ju, General Manager of MediaTek Smartphone Business Unit. "Our partnership with Gameloft on Modern Combat 5 is a major breakthrough for the industry and gaming community, as we empower the ultimate gaming experience that can be enjoyed anywhere, anytime."

Modern Combat 5 will be available on all smartphone models equipped with the MT6592 chip, and will be available for download from the Google Play Store in early 2014.
