not really - mobile devices have fairly limited input options, because you have to do everything with your touchscreen. As an interface and game mechanics in DK games are a little bit to complex to be easily run using a small touchscreen I believe the game will have to be simplified in order to be playable, which is not good at all...

well - you have to remember that you have multipple thingies you can put into the rooms, multiple creatures choices, not to mention that when your dungeon is being attacked you have to act fast and be precise. And having only a touchscreen input means all of these will have to be simplified - how are you supposed to react fast in many dofferent manners having only one input "player touches small screen"? Especially as it's gonna be released not only on tablets, but on smartphones as well, so you cannot have usual DK big sidescreen clickable interface, cause your screen is pretty small compared to size of your finger.

Don't forget the direct control of your minions. Also scrolling on touchscreen across the map sounds like a pain.

just some examples why touchscreen input means the game will have to be simplified... :(

Oh man... I'm not interested in a shallow, cash-grabbing imitation of the games I used to love. That's like rubbing salt in the wound of fans of the franchise. We've been waiting for DK3 for 14 years, finally there's an announcement and it's this. :/

We'll just have to wait for War for the Overworld to get a complete release to get our DK fix on PCs.

This could either be really good or really bad. While I am definitely smiling my ass off now that I've seen this tidbit of news, I cringe to think of the ways that they might screw this up. But if they pull it off, I can have my dungeon with me - in my pocket - at all times! And still have War for the Overworld once that releases!!! (is there an official release date for THAT yet btw? I thought it was coming out in August but the last time I heard that was probably back in May).

Maybe if this new Dungeon Keeper does well, we can start getting our hopes up for an official Dungeon Keeper 3. I mean pshhh it's only been like what 14 years? I'm betting war for the overworld will actually be a better game though.

Far as I am aware of the official release is not yet mentioned. However you can buy it now and get the early access version if you want. 21.99 USD for Standard and 34.99 USD for Underworld edition. Keeping my eye on it for sure tho :P

As far as DK3.. really doubt it sadly :( EA for some reason does not seem to want to bring that IP out of the dusty storage shed in the back.

BTW, small bit of Trivia, Technically speaking War of the Overworld IS DK3. Since that was the name Bullfrog thought about giving it back in 07 before EA kinda ruined that. Though I do not think the current one has any of the old Bullfrog devs working on it. Could be wrong on that part though as I do not know all of the names of the people who work for Subterranean Games.
