Zombicide coming to mobile next week no big deal

I can’t exactly remember when but it was early 2018 I believe. By and large, it’s not the most useful newsletter in the world – it’s infrequent, a lot of the stuff it talks about we already know or is repeated, and generally it’s a bit vague even at the best of times. We do appreciate getting it though.</p>
<p>Case and point, the most recent newsletter lists these games are being ‘In Development’:</p>

Some of this we knew, some of this we didn’t, but without any information regarding platforms, price, time-table etc… it’s just a bunch of icons at this point. Again we appreciate it, but we can’t always do anything with what it contains.</p>
<p>Then, every so often, there will be some utter bombshells, dropped in ever so casually:</p>

April 24<sup>th</sup>. Mark your calendars I guess… we knew this was coming, but there hasn’t really been a peep out of the studio on this since it was announced so to suddenly learn it’s release next week is a bit of a surprise. The <em>“finally”</em> comment throws me me a bit – I mean, it’s not even out on Steam, so it’s not like we’ve been waiting around watching our PC-based brethren play this while we clutch our mobile phones in frustration. <a href="http://bit.ly/2IKseNt" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Unlike with their legions of other PC-only digital board games.</a></p>
<p>All that aside, another milestone in board games is only a week away. It’s good that we’re seeing both iOS AND Android ports at the same time. We’ll try and have a review ready for when it drops.</p>
