Respawn Entertainment has announced a plan to bring games based on multiplayer mech shooter Titanfall to smartphones and tablets.

In conjunction with free-to-play giant Nexon, Respawn has invested in mobile studio Particle City to push along "several new and original smartphone and tablet games" based on the license.

Respawn co-founder and CEO Vince Zampella said that "Nexon’s unrivaled publishing network and free-to-play expertise will allow Titanfall to reach new global audiences."

"And with Particle City, we are closely collaborating to create all-new standalone games with original gameplay experiences that expand the Titanfall universe to players everywhere."

Nexon has already worked with Respawn to create a version of Titanfall for Asian markets, and will also publish Cliff Bleszinski's upcoming shooter LawBreakers.

The first game out of the Respawn/Nexon partnership is expected on iOS and Android in 2016.
