They are now moving into downloadable console titles, publishing games like ''Dungeon Hunter Alliance'' and ''Modern Combat'' for the [=PlayStation=] 3, as well as ''Let's Golf 3D'' for the Nintendo3DS.

Thus you have '''Gameloft S.A.''', a developer of portable titles that are playable and graphically polished but not quite perfect reproductions of titles such as ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'', ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'', ''VideoGame/{{Burnout}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}}'', and many others. They are an offshoot of French megadeveloper Creator/{{Ubisoft}} (the two companies' founders are brothers), and thus are also responsible for creating portable versions of Ubisoft's franchises, such as ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'' and ''VideoGame/{{Rayman 2}}''. Some of their games are even licensed titles in their own right. Their ''VideoGame/MarioKart'' clone, for example, stars the cast of the ''Film/{{Shrek}}'' movies, one of their Temple Run clones, has [[WesternAnimation/DespicableMe the Minions]], and their copy of the ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum'' series is a tie-in for ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises''. They've also partnered with Hasbro to make ''Franchise/LittlestPetShop'' and ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' games.

Considering that many of the games they rip off of are nowhere to be found on iOS devices (with some exceptions; ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIII,'' for one, has been released on the iOS and Android), Gameloft is in fact one of the few companies that is making the iPod a competitive gaming device. They also freely admit to copying other games, defending themselves by pointing out [[http://www.destructoid.com/gameloft-game-industry-has-one-new-idea-a-year-191678.phtml the lack of originality in the rest of the game industry.]] Given that the company itself was established by one of the Guillemot brothers, it wouldn't be surprising for Gameloft to come up with a portable remake of a popular Ubisoft title, albeit usually with an altered storyline and gameplay - for example, the mobile ''VideoGame/SplinterCell'' games differed significantly from their home console and PC counterparts, although the basic premise remains the same. They appear to have done away with producing mobile versions of Ubisoft properties starting in the early 2010s, however, as games starting from ''AssassinsCreedIVBlackFlag'' no longer have mobile counterparts, with Ubisoft themselves developing companion apps and/or portable spinoffs based on their games.
