Gameloft, the super popular French App Store developer, have announced that Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation, one of the company’s most anticipated games of the year, has risen in the top 5 grossing apps on the App Store on its day of launch.

As the third installment to the popular franchise (which has sold over 3,000,000 copies since the first game’s launch), Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation has already reached first place in rankings in the United States and Germany (score 4.5/5), second in France (score 5/5) and fifth in the United Kingdom, Italy and Japan (score 4.5/5). With breathtaking realistic graphics, Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation takes players into heart-stopping challenges and apocalyptic battles in a fight for the freedom of the United States.

“Modern Combat 3 is probably one of the most advanced games on the App Store right now. It pushes the capabilities of the new iPhone 4S and iPad 2 to the limit,” says Vincent Boiteau, Gameloft Studio Director. “We invested considerably in the title to give players an exceptional gaming experience across the board in both single player and multiplayer modes.”

On the other hand, Brothers in Arms 2: Global Front Free+ has also entered into the top 10 free applications on the App Store. The game currently ranks fourth in Europe, the United States, Australia and Japan, with a universal score of 4.5/5.

“These two titles have very different payment models, and the initial feedback from players has been very positive,” added Gonzague de Vallois, Gameloft Senior Vice President Publishing. “We will continue to expand our game catalogue for iOS on the App Store and offer players high-quality experiences with all the possible payment models.”

Also, Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation and Brothers in Arms 2 will be available soon for T-mobile smartphones and even Android tablets!
