Unity coming to BlackBerry 10

Games publishing platform Unity will be available on the BlackBerry 10 smartphone.

The move will see Unity's strong developer community publish their games on the operating system.

Unity will also be available on BlackBerry PlayBook tablets when they run the BlackBerry 10 OS.

"Unity developers have an extensive catalogue of incredible mobile games, many of which are award-winning," said Unity Technologies CEO David Helgason.

"We're excited to offer Unity developers easy access to the new powerful and rich BlackBerry 10 platform.

"We're eager to provide them with another exciting avenue to have their games devoured by an audience hungry for entertainment."

BlackBerry's Alec Saunders added: "One of the driving forces for success for a mobile platform is a strong games offering.

"We are thrilled to work with Unity and to propel the momentum we are seeing in games on BlackBerry even further."
