Well, it\u2019s certainly been a bit of a week, hasn\u2019t it? My thoughts go out to all our readers during this time – I hope you\u2019re all staying safe, and staying sane. I hope I\u2019m able to provide at least some relief from the current troubles with some news and updates from the world of mobile gaming.<\/p>\n

Not much \u2018new\u2019 that\u2019s interesting is coming out at the moment, but on the flip side a lot of the older stuff you\u2019ll know and love is now really, really cheap. More on that below.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away…<\/p>\n

Out Now<\/h2>\n

InfiniteCorps (iOS<\/a>)<\/h3>\n

The only premium game to grace our \u2018Out Now\u2019 list this week, we\u2019ve brought up InfiniteCorps<\/em> previously. It\u2019s a decision-driven strategy\/card game in the same vein as Reigns<\/em>, but with a cyberpunk setting. You work for a corporation in charge of supply and logistics to the citizens of the futuristic \u2018MegaTower\u2019, where the citizens live.<\/p>\n

Each loss resets the game with a slightly different set of cards, and you can collect the other sets as you play through the game. We haven\u2019t had a chance to take it for a proper spin yet but we\u2019ve been waiting for more games to try the Reigns formulate, so hopefully this lives up to its promise.<\/p>\n

Teamfight Tactics (iOS<\/a> & Android<\/a>)<\/h3>\n

As you will have seen yesterday, Teamfight Tactics<\/em> is now out on Mobile<\/a>. It\u2019s the last of current \u2018big\u2019 Auto Chess titles to make the crossing, so it\u2019ll be interesting to see how you guys get on with it. I took it for a quick spin yesterday but so far my opinion hasn\u2019t changed – it\u2019s decent, with good production values but apart from using Hexes over a square grid, the differences between this, Underlords<\/em> and OG Auto Chess<\/em> are slight.<\/p>\n

App Updates & News<\/h2>\n

War of the Zombie<\/a> <\/em>randomly got a couple of updates over the past two weeks, which we only just noticed because of something that flashed up on Steam. They\u2019ve added a mobile rocket launcher vehicle, the ability for a 5th FOB as well as a host of other minor changes. It\u2019s been getting a steady stream of new content since the start of January 2020, after no updates at all through 2019. Might be worth jumping back in, if you haven\u2019t played it in a while!<\/p>\n

The mobile version of Multiplayer Survival Horror game Dead by Daylight<\/em> has been announced. You can pre-register now on either Google Play<\/a> or iOS<\/a>, and the full release is slated for April 16th, 2020. Not this game is only for those aged 18 or over.<\/p>\n

As spotted by Pocket Gamer, Riot Games also released a dev diary video on Wednesday that goes into a little bit more detail on how the development of League of Legends: Wild Rift<\/em> is coming along. This is going to be the \u2018official\u2019 mobile spin off of the popular PC MOBA, and will be made specifically for phones.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s still going to be 5v5 PVP, and the release is scheduled for later this year.<\/p>\n

Free & Cheap Mobile Games<\/h2>\n

So, given the current COVID-19 situation, a lot of people are currently stuck at home looking for something to do, either for themselves or now their children now that a lot of schools are starting to shut. The mobile industry has generally responded with a wide range of sales, discounts, with even some games going for free.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s almost too much to list out specifically, but there are plenty of highlights I can throw up. For example:<\/p>\n
