The first-ever Mobile Gaming Show is poised to take place later this month. Presented by Future Games Show, it’s showcasing some of the exciting mobile games players have to look forward to, and there’s even a guest of honor to host the 30-minute presentation – Ben Starr, Final Fantasy’s very own Clive Rosefield.
While FF16 isn’t one of the Final Fantasy games on Switch or mobile, that didn’t stop us from enjoying both the game and Ben Starr’s performance. As for the Mobile Gaming Show itself, we know precious little about which developers and publishers are there, but we know that the event features interviews, trailers, reveals, and some deep dives into the best mobile games from heavy hitters such as NetEase and CCP Games.
It certainly is an exciting time to be a fan of mobile games, especially as recent rumors indicate two huge IPs are ready to jump onto the small screen – a Destiny mobile game and a Yakuza mobile game are both swirling around the internet, so we can’t help but wonder if some official announcements are on the horizon, especially with the Mobile Gaming Show and Tokyo Game Show just around the corner.
Speaking on the new showcase, Mobile Gaming Show editorial director Jake Tucker says, “Mobile is now the world’s most popular gaming platform with billions of people playing games on their phone every day. The Mobile Gaming Show will shine a spotlight on some of the very best mobile games available and the people that make them. We’ll also look at the most innovative and exciting titles coming soon that demand your attention.”
