Continuing its expansion into new areas of business such as internet-enabled TVs, Gameloft has signed a deal to support Verizon's 4G LTE Mobile Broadband network.
The first release available on select 4G smartphones will be Let's Golf! 2.
As well as gaining faster download times, Gameloft says the game will also feature multiplayer capabilities that can be accessed without relying on a wi-fi connection, as previously required.
Launched in December 2010, Verizon's 4G network, provides speeds up to 10 times faster than its 3G network.

"The power of the LTE network coupled with one of Gameloft's best games will make for an unparalleled gaming experience," said Baudouin Corman, Gameloft's vice president of publishing, Americas.
"Our 4G LTE network brings multiplayer gaming to new heights," said Jennifer Byrne, executive director, business development at Verizon Wireless.
"Let's Golf! 2 is a perfect example of a game that showcases the power of LTE, and we know our customers are looking forward to seeing more Gameloft games on the LTE network in the coming months."
