📱 MobileShadowverse to shutter after nearly ten years of card-battling action on mobile
It's one of the less pleasurable jobs of mine to tell you when something you enjoy is shutting its doors. Fortunately, the closing of service for Cygames' hit CCG Shadowverse is softened somewhat by not necessarily being a sudden and abrupt axing, but sadly a likely inevitability. If you're not familiar, Shadowverse originated as a spinoff of another CCG called Rage of Bahamut. First released in 2016, it spawned two follow-ups, Shadowverse: Evolve and Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond. So, after so many years of action-packed card battling, the closing of Shadowverse will take place on June 30th, just after its tenth anniversary. ...

📱 MobileWWE Champions set to feature Motörhead's one-of-a-kind frontman Lemmy in new event
It's often been said (at least by me) that music and wrestling have an inextricable connection. Be that Cyndi Lauper's early connections to the WWF, Jim Johnston's famous set of entrance themes or other high-profile musicians. And few are as iconic as the link between Lemmy Kilmister and 'The Game' himself, HHH. Now, mobile puzzle-battler WWE Champions is set to honour the connection with a new event themed after the late Motörhead frontman. The band famously provided two themes for Hunter Hearst Helmsley in the form of 'The Game' and 'King of Kings'. Not to mention a live performance at Wrestlemania X-Seven, where the band played HHH's theme live. ... MORE(https://www.pocketgamer.com/wwe-champions/lemmy-kilmister-event/)

📱 MobileShop Titans sees the arrival of new content inspired by Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle
I'm not sure how to interpret the fact that nowadays, one of the more surprisingly common fantasies is that of owning a small business. Aside from the fact I'm reliably informed that's not as cosy an undertaking as you might expect, I find that games like Shop Titans offer a more understandable fantasy-themed take on this aspiration. And speaking of fantasy, the latest collaboration in Kabam's tycoon simulator is certainly an unusual one. But in terms of strange and wonderful adventures, you can't get better than Jumanji, or er, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (you know, the one with the Rock). ...

📱 MobileAlmost Out of Mana is out now on mobile, where one wrong spell means disaster
Being a wizard can be stressful. Oh sure, you can manipulate the fundamental elements of the universe, but you also have to contend with miscasts, summoned entities and of course, losing your pants. And that nightmare scenario for any mage is what's shown off in the newly released Almost Out of Mana for mobile! Coming to us from solo developer Tepes Ovidiu, Almost Out of Mana offers a simple challenge, but one that might test your perseverance to its limit. You're presented with a grid of fantastical enemies to cleave through, each with its own health pool. At your disposal is a spellbook's worth of arcane abilities to destroy them with. ...

📱 MobileClay Jam is back on mobile as the old-school classic makes a grand return
I think it's undeniable that mobile gaming is a hugely fast-paced, ever-changing place. Aside from a few notable exceptions like, say, Subway Surfers or Candy Crush, what was once mega-popular or a true standout can slip into obscurity. But, sometimes, we see those standouts make a return, like with Clay Jam Classic! The best way to describe Clay Jam is as a mix of an endless runner and Feeding Frenzy style 'eat 'em up'. You play a simple pebble rolling downhill, running down evil monsters to grow stronger and larger, all with the hope of beating the massive Bully Beast waiting at the bottom of each hill. ...

The Final Fantasy franchise has been to practically every setting imaginable, from true fantasy to high-tech worlds closer to sci-fi than anything else.

📱 MobileMarvel Strike Force to introduce its first Mexican female character, Echo
With a vast roster of heroes and villains, a comprehensive Marvel game would be a mighty undertaking indeed. But far from just plumbing the back issues of the Marvel vault, Scopely are set to introduce an all-new character to Marvel Strike Force. Echo, their first Mexican female character, is set to debut as an official part of Marvel canon! Maria Marquez (wouldn't be a Marvel character without an alliterative name) was once an archaeologist trying to uncover the lost temple of the Mayan moon goddess Ixchel. After eventually uncovering it, she found herself granted strange powers as the avatar of the goddess herself. ... MORE(https://www.pocketgamer.com/marvel-strike-force/new-original-character-echo/)
📱 MobileGenesis War pitches a strategic RPG take on the original as it opens global pre-registration
Due in no small part to the international nature of gaming, there are plenty of hit franchises overseas that many of us don't even know about. For example, the War of Genesis series and its spinoff RPG Genesis War. Having just opened pre-registration for overseas players, Line Games hope to entice you to see what has made the Genesis series so popular! In Genesis War, you'll find a grand narrative suitable for both new and returning players, with the promise of challenging tactical gameplay.
