Starship Survivor
Starship Survivor is the next title from Branium, developers of several AppStore twists on classics (like Solitaire, Sudoku), and marks their first time straying beyond casual, word or card gameplay.
It’s a familiar, twin-stick style space shooter where you have to fight against masses of enemies and the bosses that follow them. Last year they implemented mote bundles which are microtransactions to help you push further into the game via upgrades – that said, the developers have gone on record priding themselves as having it as a completely free to play game that is free of both paywalls and gates.
World of Warships: Legends
World of Warships: Legends is a new free-to-play multiplayer ship combat action game from Wargaming – who are best known for their other World of ~ titles. Here you’ll fight in 9v9 battles against other players. It’s not as simple as that, of course: You can expect the same level of depth and simulation as you find in other Wargaming titles, and there’s almost certainly going to be a leveling/research tier system as well as a well-balanced matchmaking system.
The Division Resurgence
Definitely one of the bigger titles to watch out for, Ubisoft’s The Division brand is making its way over to mobile at some point in the near future. Following on from a successful regional test in Dec ’23, and with preorder rewards already published, live and ticking up, we don’t think it’ll be long before we’ve got The Division Resurgence in our hands.
It’s a phenomenal-looking title and the development team doesn’t seem to have cut any corners (or tried to create a light, ‘mobile friendly’ take on the IP) featuring all of the weapon-upgrading, huddled-running and cover-clambering that made the core series a success. Multiplayer has come a long way in mobile shooters over the last ten years, but Resurgence could set a new bar.
Rainbow Six Mobile
Rainbow Six’ season-based, quick play style has kept its popularity growing for years over on PC and console platforms, so it’s really surprising that it’s taken this long for it to make its way over to mobile. The team vs team, attack vs defence formula is succinct and stylish – the quick rounds, season-based monetisation and hero-based play all feel right at home on mobile – why have we been waiting for Rainbow Six Mobile exactly?
Whatever the reason, we’re likely not going to have to wait much longer. It’s playtesting with a majority Canadian audience, servers are holding up, and – from what we’ve heard – everything is running smooth. Roll on launch!
UPDATE: 17th January: Rainbow Six Mobile is currently showing as only active in Canada, Mexico, Colombia, and Chile.
Clash Mini
Clash is back (although we’d probably argue that it’s never gone away) and this time it’s mini! Clash Mini is a tiny fusion of the Clash universe and the ever popular auto-batttler formula. You could argue, and perhaps you will, that Clash of Clans’ town attacks were an auto-battler of their own, and you’d be right. This, however, plays more like an autochess RPG, but featuring familiar branding and a bright and colourful setting.
If you are eager to test it out, we have made a guide on how to download Clash Mini that’s worth a read.
Call of Duty: Warzone
“Call of Duty’s battle royale mode” Call of Duty: Warzone is easily one of the most anticipated mobile releases of the near future. It’s been rumoured and heavily discussed under its previous moniker: Call of Duty: Project Aurora, and we’ve seen so much gameplay of it that we’re – frankly – starting to feel a little queasy.
Despite all of the gameplay, we don’t actually have too many details about the launch – let alone a release window. We do know that it’s a battle royale, that you’ll be fighting to take over Verdansk, and that there’ll be both team and solo play. The developers have said that you’ll be able to play crossplay with Console and PC folks, but also that there are mobile-specific rewards – so we’re a little stumped.
Still, keep your eyes on PG as we’ll be sure to let you know more as soon as we do.
