We’re very excited to announce that BlackBerry and Unity are working together to create a Unity deployment add-on product for BlackBerry 10 smartphones, empowering Unity’s over 1.5 million strong developer community to publish their games on these powerful platforms.

The deployment tools will also be available for BlackBerry PlayBook tablets for the upcoming BlackBerry 10 OS update.

BlackBerry 10 will now be one of the premiere mobile platforms supported by the market-leading Unity Engine. The deployment tool is currently in development by Unity Technologies and BlackBerry, and will be released as an add-on option for Unity.

A beta version of the Unity add-on along will be made available to a limited number of qualified developers in the spring. Unity is expecting the final release to be available in the summer of 2013.

Additionally, Unity and BlackBerry will hold developer meet up events in Europe and North America and will give qualified developer attendees Unity Pro and BlackBerry 10 smartphones. Details are coming soon, so stay tuned to BlackBerry Developers Blog.
