The biggest new mobile games coming in 2024 and beyond

2023 was a big year for mobile gamers, we saw the release of Honkai Star Rail, Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis, and Monster Hunter Now, but what are our most anticipated new mobile games coming in 2024? There are a lot of hype-inducing upcoming mobile games on the way, but we’ve managed to narrow it down to the most exciting ones.

If you’re looking for something to play right now, I recommend you look at our lists of the Switch games of the year and mobile games of the year for 2023. Or if you’re after a specific genre, we can help you out with the best mobile RPGs, farm games, and even geography games.

Here are the biggest new mobile games coming in 2024 and beyond:

Persona 5: The Phantom X

Persona is one of my favorite videogame series of all time and I can’t wait to have it on my mobile device. We may not know the Persona 5: The Phantom X release date just yet, but from the gameplay showcases we’ve seen from the last beta, it looks to be an intriguing new spin-off. You can expect to see some familiar faces in this gacha game, as well as some new Persona 5: The Phantom X characters that seem to be just as unique as the original motley crew.

We look forward to taking part in some turn-based combat, raising social links with our pals, and maybe even spending too many hours fishing at the dock. We just hope the gacha mechanics aren’t too intrusive.

Project Mugen

I’m not sure if this is a hot take, but I think Project Mugen may be a contender for Hoyoverse’s biggest rival. I know that feels like blasphemy when the Pocket Tactics team are such loyal Hoyo fans, but the massive open world, vibrant colors, and cute Project Mugen characters have me hooked already and I’ve only seen two or three trailers so far.

We may not know the Project Mugen release date just yet, but we’re hoping for a global beta soon so that we can get a feel for the game ourselves and not just go by vibes. We can speculate that it won’t arrive in early 2024, but I hope I’m not being too optimistic with a late 2024 release window in mind.

The Seven Deadly Sins Origin

Despite only a passing interest in The Seven Deadly Sins anime, I’m really quite excited for this one. It’s rare a gameplay trailer properly hooks me, but in doing my usual bits for Pocket Tactics this year and keeping an eye out for upcoming mobile titles, I spotted the trailer above for this game. It’s just a few minutes long, but with minecart mayhem, some big demon-looking things kicking up a proper fuss in combat, and a gorgeous-looking game world, it certainly caught my attention.

I’m not the only one looking forward to this one, with a bunch of fans of the anime – who I like to call The Seven Deadly Sinners – waiting patiently since the developer Netmarble first teased this game back in 2022. While we still don’t have an exact The Seven Deadly Sins Origin release date just yet, I’m very excited to take on what looks almost like a fever-dream version of Monster Hunter crossed with Zelda: Breath of the Wild when this game finally arrives.

Assassin’s Creed Jade

Assassin’s Creed Jade is an upcoming entry in Ubisoft’s beloved franchise, coming exclusively to mobile devices. This game takes place in Ancient China during the Qin Dynasty, and we’re expecting to be able to explore a rich and enthralling world with a story that’s sure to keep you hooked until the very end.

There’s definitely going to be plenty of action and stealthy goodness to sink your teeth into, meaning you get a fully authentic AC experience in the palm of your hands when the Assassin’s Creed Jade release date finally lands. Take a look at our Assassin’s Creed Jade preview to see how it’s shaping up.

Neverness to Everness

We can’t wait for this unique gacha game that seems to merge the best aspects of games like Genshin Impact and GTA. From the gameplay footage we’ve seen so far, the game features cute anime waifus, fast cars you can drive around an open world, and properties you can purchase and customize.

We recommend you take a look at our Neverness to Everness guide to learn more about the upcoming title from Perfect World Games, or head over to the game’s official website to pre-register.

Avatar: Realms Collide

Avatar: Realms Collide is a 4x (explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate) mobile strategy game that features popular characters from ATLA, The Legend of Korra, and their comic book adaptations. You must collect and train a team of benders to go up against a dangerous cult of baddies.

If you’re curious to learn more, we have an Avatar: Realms Collide guide for you to check out, then you can head over to Google Play or the App Store to pre-register.
