📱 MobileDigimon Up has one million players eagerly awaiting its release next week
While Digimon has never quite hit the heights of contemporaries such as Pokémon (then again, what has?), it's still a massively popular franchise. Which makes it unsurprising that many fans are eager to get their hands on the upcoming mobile spinoff Digimon Up, with over a million pre-registrations already recorded! Digimon Up takes the series back to its roots, as the rougher, tougher cousin of the Tamagotchi. You'll select a partner Digimon (a digital monster, naturally), train them and feed them as you would any other digital pet, and work towards duking it out with other players and Digimon for yourself! ...

📱 MobileDivine Clash's latest update adds a new hero and fresh events to the AFK-like RPG
Game Hollywood has rolled out a major new update for Divine Clash, bringing a new playable hero, limited-time events, and additional progression systems that give players more ways to strengthen their teams. Here’s what’s in store. Ra joins the Chaos Festival ... MORE(https://www.pocketgamer.com/divine-clash/update/)
📱 MobileBeat Hazard Arcade finally brings its music-powered mayhem to iOS and Android
Beat Hazard has been around since 2010, which makes it older than most of the phones you'd be playing it on now. Cold Beam's twin-stick shooter made its name by letting your own music library drive the chaos, weapons flaring on peaks, enemies surging with the bass, screen going completely mental in time with whatever you had loaded up. Beat Hazard Arcade brings that to iOS and Android. Finally. The catch in 2026, as Stephen pointed out in his hands-on, is that most of us don't actually have music stored on our phones anymore. It's all streaming. So, the big sell of playing your own library might not land the way it once did, unless Cold Beam sorts something out with Spotify or Apple Music down the line. ...

🖥 PC, MobilePhantom Tower is an upcoming hack-and-slash rougelike launching on iOS and Android soon
Four years Horien Studio has been building Phantom Tower and nobody's seen the top yet. Not even in trailers. That's a roguelike earning its premise, I suppose. Eight classes, each tied to their own elemental affinity and combat feel, and you're climbing a tower that gets progressively more hostile the further up you go. Plenty of adventurers have tried. None have made it. You probably won't either, at least not for a while. But you keep going back. ... MORE(https://www.pocketgamer.com/phantom-tower/steam-demo/)
📱 MobilePUBG Mobile kicks off its collaboration with hit anime and manga series Naruto Shippuden
While it's undoubtedly had some absolutely loony ideas for collaborations (remember the luggage one?) PUBG Mobile has fortunately snagged plenty of big names recently. And the latest to arrive, starting today, is none other than the iconic Big Three anime and manga series, Naruto Shippuden! Releasing throughout the 2000s and early 2010s, Naruto is a favourite amongst many anime fans. And in PUBG Mobile, you'll be able to explore iconic locations from the series, ranging from the Hidden Leaf Village itself to the Valley of the End. And you'll want to keep your eyes peeled, not just for easter eggs, but also for encounters with Rogue Ninjas that'll prove to be skilled and dangerous enemies. ...

📱 MobileGolden Lap is Noodlecake's take on the racing sim with minimum glitz, maximum strats
Noodlecake has consistently delivered new and interesting releases on a regular basis over the years, bringing plenty of great stuff to mobile like Death Road to Canada and Yes, Your Grace. And the latest genre they're tackling is the racing sim, with Golden Lap now on iOS and coming soon to Android! If it doesn't strike you immediately upon looking at it, you'll find that Golden Lap is all about the big picture. You won't be stepping behind the wheel yourself, but instead control the entire team, managing your mechanics, drivers, and even the sponsors behind the cars themselves. ...

📱 MobileDigimon Up is releasing later this month, bringing the classic digital pet franchise to mobile
While Pokémon may be celebrating its 30th anniversary with much (and well-deserved) fanfare, it's far from the only series based around strange creatures being your pals from the 1990s, so fondly remembered by fans. Digimon has always been their closest rival, and now Digimon Up is set to release on July 15th to bring the experience to mobile! If you're not familiar, Digimon has a similar setup to Pokémon, seeing young teens collecting and battling with the titular creatures. However, there are a few key differences between the two: rather than a massive roster, you stick with one partner Digimon, and instead of being physical, they're entirely virtual! ...

📱 MobileDisney Dreamlight Valley sees the arrival of Winnie the Pooh in its first adventure pack
Disney Dreamlight Valley is once more headed into the venerable Disney vaults to bring more of their iconic characters to mobile. And in this case, it's everyone's favourite yellow, honey-loving bear, Winnie the Pooh, as part of Dreamlight Valley's first-ever adventure pack, Honeyglow Woods! Naturally, the biggest names joining the valley here are none other than Winnie the Pooh himself, Piglet and Eeyore. You'll be able to build your friendship with these loveable fan-favourites and unlock exclusive rewards via a new series of quests! But of course, Winnie the Pooh wouldn't be complete without the Hundred Acre Wood... ... MORE(https://www.pocketgamer.com/disney-dreamlight-valley/winnie-the-pooh-and-honeyglow-woods/)
📱 MobileIdentity V's next big collaboration is... a gaming chair?
As far as asymmetrical horror goes on mobile, Identity V seems to be the gold standard. Or, at the very least, it's the one that's held on the longest and has the biggest following. But now Identity V is set to have its latest, largest collaboration with... a chair company? Okay, this isn't just any chair company, it's DXRacer, who make specialised gaming chairs. And they're set to sponsor the upcoming Identity V Championship NAEU 2026, taking place later this year. Naturally, that means they're also providing seating arrangements for players with some snazzy custom-made chairs. ... MORE(https://www.pocketgamer.com/identity-v/dxracer-sponsorship/)

📱 MobileMario Kart Tour comes in for the finish and is set to shut down later this year
Unfortunately, it seems that Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis is not the only big-name mobile game that's ending service. Nintendo's Mario Kart Tour is also set to shutter, with servers closing on September 30th. While not exactly good news, it's a mobile spinoff that's been going for a surprisingly long time. Mario Kart Tour released way back in 2019 and has been going relatively strong since then. It essentially reproduces the usual Mario Kart experience, just for mobile, and back in 2022, they went as far as to remove gacha mechanics in an attempt to keep that same competitive spirit. ...

📱 MobileFinal Fantasy VII Ever Crisis is the latest Square Enix mobile game to be shut down
Unfortunately, the long, winding road of Square Enix shutdowns is claiming another victim today. Fans of Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis will be sad to learn that the mobile spinoff is, unfortunately, being shuttered. End of service is set for October 6th, with in-game purchases already halted. Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis was first released back in 2023, taking you through the events of the original 1997 classic Final Fantasy VII as well as follow-up media such as Advent Children and Crisis Core. Despite this, it doesn't seem to have had the legs for Square Enix to reach beyond its second anniversary. ... MORE(https://www.pocketgamer.com/final-fantasy-vii-ever-crisis/shutting-down/)
