Frozen Synapse coming to iPad in 2012

Indie developers Mode 7 are proud to announce that their hit tactical game Frozen Synapse will be arriving on iPad in 2012. Frozen Synapse has proved that simultaneous-turn-based strategy is relevant in this terribly fraught modern world of instant-fix gaming. (We even wrote a review for the PC version)

It has sold over 300,000 units on PC, Mac and Linux so far, headlined its own Humble Bundle and achieved a variety of critical plaudits, including a Golden Joysticks nomination.

“Despite my lumpen, sausage-like digits, I am particularly excited about Frozen Synapse coming to the iPad,” blithered Joint Managing Director Paul Taylor. “I look forward to flicking my little green men around the place with wanton abandon.”

The iPad version was revealed to a select group of fans in a Nottingham pub during this year’s Gamecity festival.

“Not only are we doing this iPad thing,” concluded Taylor, deploying the irritatingly reductive diction of a particularly annoying Joss Wheedon character, “but we are also looking at better ways of updating and supporting the game on its current platforms – expect some new things in the New Year.”

Frozen Synapse iPad is shortly to enter beta, with a price and final release date to be announced next year.
