| These are the 12 most highly anticipated upcoming mobile games of 2021 (links inside) Posted: 23 Feb 2021 05:42 AM PST There are lots of great games expected to release this year on mobile, and this post is meant as a summary of what I consider to be the most highly anticipated ones (not necessarily my favorites, but rather the most "hyped" games). Let me know if you would like me to do these types of posts/videos from time to time. Maybe they could be an addition to my weekly tl;dr game recommendations, and the "end-of-year tier list" summaries I make here on the sub at the end of each year? Either way, thanks for all the support in creating this type of content, and be sure to share any games I missed? :) Watch the video version here: https://youtu.be/hNVtoCCugi8 __________ 1) Diablo Immortal Despite all the bad press this game got when it was first announced, it seems to be shaping up to be a really solid RPG that will finally release this year. In fact, a technical alpha is already now live in Australia on Android. And it seems everyone is either waiting for it to fail or become their next go-to mobile game There's no news on the full global release date yet, but Blizzard has confirmed that while there will be in-app purchases and a battle pass system, all gear can be grinded through gameplay, which I think answers one of everyone's biggest questions about this game. I'm very excited for Diablo Immortal because I hope it will deliver the smoothest action RPG experience on mobile to date, with online and co-op gameplay in addition to the singleplayer content. And with no doubt millions of people pre-registered for the game already, I know I'm not alone in hoping for something truly amazing. Website: https://diabloimmortal.com/ 2) Pokémon Unite Another game that has been picking up hype throughout 2020 is Pokemon Unite, which is an upcoming MOBA game with Pokémon characters. And it's being developed by The Pokemon Company in collaboration with Tencent Games, with a launch set for both mobile and the Nintendo Switch. The good news is that the game is already out in beta in China, so there's a good chance it will release at some point this year, but there's no defined release date yet. Just a few weeks ago though, a gameplay video showing an entire match in the game was leaked on YouTube, and while it has already been taken down, you might be able to find it online somewhere if you want to have a closer look at the game. Knowing the power of the Pokemon IP, and how good Tencent are at creating high-quality mobile games (think about them what you want - they make quality products) - like Call of Duty Mobile and the world's most popular MOBA; Honor of Kings, I think it's safe to say that Pokemon Unite is going to be one of the biggest releases on mobile this year. Website: https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-unite/ 3) Odin: Valhalla Rising Odin: Valhalla Rising is an upcoming MMORPG that looks visually super impressive, and the developers are promising a completely open map with no loading screens, which I'm honestly not sure how they're going to pull off - so it's an interesting game to keep an eye on. In terms of the overall style, the game is inspired by Nordic mythology, with what looks like 4 different worlds and 4 unique classes planned for launch. What's also interesting is that it is launching on both PC and Mobile, a bit like we saw it with Genshin Impact last year. What we know about the launch is that Kakao Games have promised a Korea-only launch for the second half of 2021. If it does well, we may already see an international beta at the tail end of this year, which is what I'm hoping for. But the developers haven't confirmed that yet. Website: https://odin-valhallarising.com/ 4) Path of Exile Released on PC in 2012, Path of Exile is an Action RPG alternative to games like Diablo, and it is ALSO making its way to mobile. It's a fantastic game on PC, and it might end up rivaling Diablo Immortal when it finally releases. The developers are also promising almost the exact same experience on mobile as on PC, and they initially aimed for a closed beta by the end of 2020. Since they missed that deadline, it's likely that we'll see it soon here in 2021, with maybe even an open beta towards the end of this year. Website: https://www.pathofexile.com/exilecon/four 5) Devil May Cry Mobile Devil May Cry is also getting a mobile game this year, called Devil May Cry: Pinnacle of Combat. Over 150k people have already pre-registered for this action-adventure hack'n'slash game, and it's in beta testing in China right now. It seems to actually be a full-blown 3D ARPG, and the footage I have seen so far reminds me a bit of Honkai Impact 3rd, which released a few years ago. Devil May Cry is known for its over-the-top combat, and so I really hope they'll be able to bring that to the mobile version as well. Website (not in English): http://dmc.yunchanggame.com/landingpage.html 6) Harry Potter: Magic Awakened Next up is a Harry Potter game that I, for once, am actually excited about. It's a story-based RPG with card-based combat where we can tap to move our character around and then use cards to trigger abilities. It looks genuinely fun, and I can easily see how adding co-op would make it a super fun multiplayer experience as well. It seems like a very high-quality production, with a nice low-poly but polished art astyle. And I'm very happy that it is NOT a team-based gacha RPG - because we've already had so many of those at this point. From what I've been able to tell from gameplay videos, there is even 1v1 PvP, where we have to dodge enemy attacks while using our ability cards to throw magic spells at our opponent. A beta version is out in China already, and it is likely to enter global alpha/beta testing this year. Website: https://www.wizardingworld.com/news/first-look-at-harry-potter-magic-awakened-in-china 7) Catalyst Black One of the most highly anticipated games of 2021 is definitely Catalyst Black. It's the new game from SuperEvilMegaCorp, the developer of Vainglory, which was one of the earliest high-quality MOBAs on mobile. The developers call Catalyst Black a battleground shooter, which seems to be their way of saying that you control your hero like you would in a MOBA, with a left-side joystick and abilities on the right side, but you fight in what seems like traditional shooter game game-modes, like Capture the Flag, King of the Hill, and more like that. And yes, there will be controller support on both Android and iOS. The game is in Early Access right now, but a full/beta launch is definitely expected for this year. Website: https://catalystblack.com/ 8) Ni No Kuni Cross Worlds Ni No Kuni Cross Worlds is an upcoming MMORPG that is shaping up to potentially become one of the most interesting of the year. The game is completely open-world, and the video footage I've seen of it honestly reminds me a bit of Genshin Impact. We'll have 5 character classes to pick from; a Destroyer, Witch, Rogue, Swordsman, or Engineer, and the cell-shaded Studio Ghibli-inspired graphics look fantastic, so if the rest of the game is of the same quality, this is going to be an amazing game. Unfortunately, it's being published by Netmarble, so I'm very concerned about the monetization system, but we'll have to just see about that when it releases :) Website (not in English): https://2worlds.netmarble.com/ja 9) Summoners War: Chronicle The original Summoners War game was arguably the biggest release of 2015, and now the developers are back with a new game, which instead of being a turn-based strategy game, is a real-time MMORPG based on the characters and overall franchise of the original game. What's most unique about the combat system is that we seem to be able to select 3 characters that can each summon monsters that help us in battle. So hopefully that will help set the game apart from all the other MMORPGs on this list. Summoners War: Chronicle was supposed to release in 2020, but because of delays it is now scheduled for some time between April and June this year. I think the game is mostly geared towards the existing fan-base, but who knows - it could end up positively surprising me. Website (a press release by the dev): https://www.com2us.com/company/press/2989 10) Taern: Broken Ranks As number 10, I decided to include a game for all the oldschool tactical MMORPG fans. And within that genre, the most anticipated game of 2021 might just be the dark upcoming RPG Taern: Broken Ranks (tairn), which is set to release across mobile, web, and PC. The developers say the game is inspired by isometric RPGs like Baldur's Gate and even Heroes of Might and Magic, and so if they can deliver on those promises, this might turn out to be one of the most interesting releases within this sub-genre of MMORPGs. There is no specific release date yet, but the developers seem to be working towards a 2021 release for most platforms. Website: https://www.brokenranks.com/ 11) Magic: The Gathering Arena Also releasing this year is the collectible card game Magic: The Gathering Arena. It first released on PC in 2019, and it very recently went into Early Access on Android, with a full mobile release and cross-platform play planned for later this year. I know there are many great CCGs already on mobile, such as Legends of Runeterra, GWENT, and Hearthstone, but what's interesting about Magic The Gathering Arena is that the PC version is already rather popular on Twitch, so there is definitely hype and lots of people waiting for the mobile release. Website: https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-digital/mtg-arena-mobile-faqs-2021-01-28 12) Time to Hunt With almost half a million pre-registrations, this next game, called Time to Hunt, is one of the most highly anticipated Monster Hunter-inspired mobile games. Time to Hunt is an open-world action RPG with huge over-the-top monsters and even dragons that we can fight alone, or with a team of up to 4 players. When we're not slaying monsters though, another big part of the game seems to be building up our own little home, with over 200 available buildings, plants to water, and many other simulation-like gameplay elements. The cell-shaded graphics give the game an almost Genshin Impact-inspired look, and the skill animations feel almost exactly like those found in Monster Hunter - so for those of us who like that mix, I think Time to Hunt is going to be an amazing game. There's no news on the global release date yet, but I'm hoping for a late-2021 beta test. Website (not English): https://game.bilibili.com/slsk Now for a few rapid-fire honorable mentions that didn't make it into this post - Apex Legends: was supposed to release this year, but the international release has been pushed to 2022 - Epic Battle Fantasy 5: is incredibly popular on Steam, and the developer IS working on a mobile version but that won't release this year either. - Nier Reincarnation: a popular franchise on PC, but the upcoming mobile version of the game seems somewhat lackluster (could be wrong, but not a lot of info on the game yet) - Ragnarok Origin: another popular franchise, but the gameplay fails to truly stand out from the competition - H1Z1 Battle Royale Mobile: it's coming, but I honestly think they're just too late to the whole battle royale race.
