📱 MobilePokémon Go drops new details of 30th anniversary celebrations and July 2026 Community Day
Pokemon Go has announced new details of celebrations for the 30th anniversary of the franchise! The smash-hit collectible creatures have been going strong for three decades now, so it only makes sense that Pokémon Go would get in on the action with their own in-game celebrations. Of course there'll be plenty more real-world events to keep your eye on. But Niantic have confirmed that there will be in-game events and offline celebrations across several regions, with a number of stops for the PokéXciting tour in places such as Manila, Singapore and Taipei offering plenty of excitement for fans this winter. ...

📱 Mobile, Multi-platformYou Are Everyone’s Intrusive Thoughts In Citizen Sleeper Dev’s Upcoming Fungal RPG
The next game from Gareth Damian Martin, the lead developer for Citizen Sleeper and its sequel, is a drastic shift away from playing as a sentient android desperately trying to survive while managing resources and relationships. Called Signet City, the first-person fungalpunk RPG sees you play as a sentient spore who must spread itself through a city by secretly infecting new individuals. As a spore, you become the new guiding psyche of those you infect, acting as a voice that influences how they feel, so you can then shape how they act, and ultimately direct how events play out in the city. Even if it doesn't work like how they do mechanically, narratively, it sounds like you're playing as the sentient skills in Disco Elysium or Esoteric Ebb--you're an outside perspective doing its best to guide your host to what you think is the best outcome. "As a parasite, each day you choose which host to drop into and then you have a limited number of actions that day," Martin told me. "And each host kind of comes with a part of the city that they live in, like a little hub. I think it's better to think of it as more something like Dishonored where you have these little chunks of the city--you don't have a whole city that you can walk around." !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/ss42a22af6f72fbabe907d8f3de23b1d1657ab6c60.1920x1080.jpg?w=1024) "The key thing is the parasite feeds on emotion. And the skill system, the RPG aspect of the game, is all based on emotion. So let's say as the parasite, you want to get to this specific area of a certain hub. So you load in as that character and you're like, 'Okay, there's this door in my way. I'm going to have to find a way to get through it. One way that I could get through it is kicking it down, but if I want to kick it down, I can get a modifier increase if my host is angry. So I'm going to take him into the pub and I'm going to get him in an argument with somebody who's in the pub and that will get my host more angry and now I can more easily kick down this door.'" Like both Citizen Sleeper games, you're still rolling a six-sided die in Signet City, so any choice you make can still fail thanks to the cruelty of chance. Martin talked about how, in the kicking down the door example, you could injure your infected host in the attempt. And that might lead you to try solving the same problem but with a different host. And since no two hosts are the same, the manner by which you can help them out is different. To push someone into a state of adrenaline, you might need to have them discover political posters of a person or policy they don't support, for example, or take them to the top of a skyscraper if they're afraid of heights. !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/sse6a52fbe0f93ef0baa29e21a1d81d68e5b2cfe0a.1920x1080.jpg?w=1024) "In a weird way, there's a little bit of Firewatch to it in the sense that when you're one of these characters, you're walking around the space and you're kind of discovering it," Martin said. "And then when you find something that the character can do or react to, you find it by looking and then you hold the left trigger to then bring up the UI that relates to that." What I find most interesting about this is how this type of storytelling plays with the concept of perception. As someone who plays a lot of tabletop role-playing games, I'm engaging in make-believe with other adults several times a week. And during those sessions, players often switch up how they refer to themselves and the character they're playing as. I'll always use first-person "I," when talking about myself, but I'll also use it when I'm pretending to be my character. But not always, though. I'll also say that my character does something as if I were a narrator directing them. So while I'm almost always using first-person, I'll sometimes use third-person, and even second-person on very rare occasions. !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/ss232c2af7546c7525149ffce6c0b38095da893e4e.1920x1080.jpg?w=1024) In that same respect, Signet City is a game told in first-, second-, and third-person. The camera view is first-person, but the game refers to the parasite as "you," and then the various hosts are talked about in third-person. But it's still just you, the player, behind it all. When I spoke to Martin about it, they said that the relationship of perspective was the exact concept they wanted to explore in Signet City. "The parasite is influenced by observing tabletop play and how when you're playing a character in tabletop role-playing games, sometimes you're using your name, sometimes you use your character's name," Martin said. "Sometimes you're like, 'Oh, it would be really cool if this really bad thing happened to my character right now, because that would be really interesting.' And sometimes you're more in their head and you're more like, 'Oh God, I really don't want this to go bad. I'd really, really like a good roll to just make this go well.' And I think that is a really interesting space. I think video games don't really get into that--they don't think about the player as a conflicting perspective that much. Maybe in Baldur's Gate 3, you get a bit of that when you do a Dark Urge playthrough. But that, for me, is a really exciting part of tabletop games, so that's something that I'm trying to get into." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mO4uKabqRQo "It opens up the writing because I have to try and figure out, 'How do I write this?' So the game is in second-person and third-person simultaneously because when I write what it's like to be the parasite, I use 'you, you, you,' and then I write what the host is experiencing. So, 'Sid does this, Sid does that, Sid feels this.' And so that is a really exciting and interesting space to play. And so for me, I find it interesting to set myself those challenges and those structures. And a lot of it is really based on things I found interesting in Citizen Sleeper, but that that form couldn't necessarily contain. But if I change the form and I do something a bit more out there with Signet City, I can find space to do it. Where these perspectives ultimately collide and begin to grate against one another is where Signet City seems to be delving into punk, creating friction and counterculture within its urban setting via the clashing perspectives of the city at large and the more personal battles between the fungal parasite and individual hosts. !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/ssa809fba0f37137ba27c3381b061e5fcc2f302518.1920x1080.jpg?w=1024) "I think there are connections absolutely to authoritarianism, but there are also connections to revolution and radical ideas," Martin said. "And I think that's what really excited me about beginning to work on this, was that a parasite can represent both of those things simultaneously and you can engage with the idea." "If you are the most powerful being in the city, then ultimately that's what you're growing to be. What are you driving the city towards and what do you see your role in it being? Are you a shepherd or are you a master? Do you instigate or do you control? Do you destroy, or are you like, 'Yeah, fk the humans. They've destroyed ecology, ecology's coming for them now. They should actually die.' These are the things that I think you can really get into with having a protagonist like a fungal spore and having a structure like this game." We'll have to wait a bit longer to get a better understanding of how Signet City will look and play, as only an announcement trailer for the game has been revealed so far. In my conversation with Martin, they said they're about midway through development, so there's definitely no chance of the game releasing this year.

📱 MobileCase Solved: The London Files brings cosy noir murder mysteries to iOS and Android this summer
London gets murdered fictionally on a fairly regular basis, but rarely this politely. Case Solved: The London Files is heading to mobile, and given I spend most of my actual life wandering round the bits of the city this puzzler is presumably about to make significantly more sinister, I've got a vested interest here. The premise is cosy noir, which sounds like a contradiction until you see it in motion. You're playing a detective working through three cases scattered around London, from a concert that goes wrong to, brilliantly, a famous clock tower that I will not be naming because I think we all know which one. ...

📱 MobileDeep Rock Galactic: Survivor unveils new Heavy Duty DLC
With the original Deep Rock Galactic still going strong, Rogue Core as its sequel/spinoff and Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor on mobile, I think it's fair to say that space dwarves are still popular. And if you're a DRG: Survivor player, then you're doubly in luck because their first DLC-style expansion goes live today! Named Heavy Duty, this expansion offers up an entirely new class of dwarf to mine through the depths of Hoxxes. The expansion also includes a new biome with the Glacial Strata, the classic Egg Hunt missions, and a host of new weapons to try. ...

📱 MobileDelta Force to feature new collaboration with Rainbow Six Siege in latest season
The shooter space is dominated by a few big names: Call of Duty, Battlefield and the like. But increasingly we've seen mobile host a few more varied games, like Free Fire, PUBG, and today's subject, Delta Force, to name a few. And now, Delta Force is set to cross over with another hit from the world of shooters as a Rainbow Six Siege collaboration arrives! At the moment, details are scarce regarding what this will actually include. The announcement came as part of a suite of details revealed for Delta Force's upcoming season. This included new maps for Operations and Warfare modes, as well as the newest Operator. ... MORE(https://www.pocketgamer.com/delta-force/rainbow-six-collaboration/)
📱 MobilePoinpy, the former Netflix-exclusive platformer, could be returning to mobile soon
One of the more unfortunate facts about mobile is that we tend to see games being removed from storefronts for one reason or another. But wait long enough, and things tend to come back around. As is the case with the certified gold Poinpy, which seems to be coming back to Android this year. The gameplay of Poinpy is simple, as your job is to feed refreshing fruits to a monstrous beast you've inadvertently awakened. You do so with a simple drag-'n'-jump mechanism that sends you hurtling upwards to collect the fruits to turn into juice, all helped by power-ups and a little bit of skill too. ...
