Mobile Games News Recap | Week of March 7 to 13, 2022

And for Genshin, as future updates become clearer, an ad for the Apple iPad Air has fans reacting as the woman on screen uses electro attacks against an electro boss who visibly displays “immune.” Suffice to say that purple on purple looks good to sell, but it’s rather stupid for the gameplay. You’ll have to hit a boss for a while as immune as a Gwen in the Rift League of Legends to overcome it. But, you’ll tell me, it’s no worse than the scene where Horizon Zero Dawn is presented as multiplayer in the Netflix series Lupine…

Pre-registration and new mobile games

3️⃣ For pre-registrations… We also find Brave Soul: Frozen Dungeon, an RPG from Unlock Games only available for Android gamers. The title presents itself as a gacha with more than 100 heroes linked to the main narrative and PvP options to measure yourself against other players. same for me Summoners War: Chronicles which has opened its pre-registrations in Thailand for a closed beta. This top-down RPG will reveal the secrets of many dungeons in real time. Unfortunately, its secrets won’t be open to Western players for a while… If you want to play a recent Com2Us title, I’m afraid you’ll have to settle for Valkyrie Rush. 😂

4️⃣ On the new releases side, we are entitled to a colorful runner titled Axolotl Stars, for a Fall Guys-esque rendering on mobile. On a completely different tone, enjoy a childhood in the 90s′ with a PC game port to Android titled Growing-Up. This narrative game features around twenty characters, relationships to develop, a skill tree to specialize in as you grow from child to 18-year-old adult. Unlock the different endings of your adventure by living or reliving the joys of the 90s. the Phobias game present in Indonesia makes its debut in the rest of the world soon (see trailer). This gacha mixes opening of boosters and arena fight between Phobias, monsters born from all fears and present in number of 120.

Error300 Games is meanwhile busy with the launch of Mosaic Chronicles, a sublime puzzle with fantasy stained glass windows to piece together. When launched on Android and iOS, the title offers a first story “A bit of horoscope” and will then be fleshed out with a second narrative framework (already available on the Steam PC version) “The lucky knot”.

Finally, the Fatal Fury retro fighting game becomes available on Android and iOS with its 16 legendary fighters.

Niantic News: Redemption, Niantic Days, and Campfire

5️⃣ Like Pokémon GO, Niantic is launching its Niantic Days which begins with a launch this weekend, March 13, and will be held thereafter once a month until July 2022. These events will take place in more than 20 IRL locations, mainly in Germany and the UK, against 200 different virtual spaces from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., with free merch to collect. At the same time, the firm acquires 8th Walla company at the forefront of augmented reality web technologies, to support its IRL metaverse ideas with mixed reality.

In addition, rumors are circulating about the production at Niantic from a game called Campfire. Niantic’s efforts in creating a new license have not been publicly presented for Ingress, nearly a decade. As the studio focuses on its mobile adaptations Pokémon GO and Pikmin Bloom and its planned augmented reality solutions for developers, these rumors arose from a form of trademark application and we do not know more for the moment.
