There were a few announcements, leaked images and release dates for highly anticipated Apple and Android mobile games. Today, we'll give you a preview of these games and the mobile platforms you'll see them on.
The concept behind the the mobile game is to offer a quick, functional and fun way to play World of Tanks on the go. The mobile version offers faster progression, while money is gained quicker and battles are seven-on-seven with destructible environments. Being in development for over a year, we have to say the game looks very polished on the iPad, and its controls are fluid for touchscreens.
If you have an Xbox 360, Wargaming plans to release a retail SKU estimated to cost less than $30, which will include a Premium Tier 2 Panzer Tank. This exclusive retail version comes with with three days of Premium time that will get you one-and-a-half times more experience and will research new tanks and modules at cosmic speed, extra gold and silver, plus 30 days of Xbox Live Gold for console gameplay.
Using the full potential of the Unreal Engine to achieve visual quality previously known only on PCs and consoles, Hellraid: The Escape offers a unique challenge to mobile games where you face off against demons using your wits. Equipped with free updates and no in app purchases, we can't image this game being free. No official word on cost.
This expansion couldn't have come at a better time considering how current gameplay has grown a bit stale, and with the addition of these new cards, Hearthstone fans will have more reason to stay engaged. We're very excited about its release, and plan to cover the Naxxramas expansion pack in the near future.
Yesterday, 2K announced its sequel to Civilization Revolution, a simplified take on the classic strategy sim. Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution 2 makes its debut on iOS devices on July 2nd, and expands its influence to Android soon after. Developed exclusively for mobile, which is a first for the series, it features an interface that caters to the device. As a paid app, Civ Rev 2 will feature 16 recognizable historical leaders from the series, like Ghandi and Genghis Khan, along with a few new ones like John F. Kennedy and Winston Churchill.
We're very excited about the release of these titles and look forward to playing them on iOS and Android devices.
