Best upcoming mobile games in 2024

Riot Games has confirmed that their incredibly popular FPS will be making its way over to mobile devices. Over 14 million players are enjoying the game on PC on a daily basis, so the demand for VALORANT Mobile was always going to be huge.

If you're – somehow – unfamiliar with the game, it is a 5v5 multiplayer FPS shooter set in the near future. Players can select from a roster of Agents, each of which possesses unique skills and abilities alongside numerous guns such as SMGs, shotguns and assault rifles, among others. There are several game modes to choose from, though the most popular mode uses the traditional attack and defend formula.

Back in 2019, Grinding Gear Games announced that they were working on a mobile version of their popular dungeon-crawling RPG, Path of Exile. Unlike most of the entries on this list, Path of Exile Mobile isn't 100 per cent confirmed since the developer has previously stated that they won't release the game if it's not an enjoyable experience.

But that doesn't mean we can't get excited about the concept. Carrying such a sizeable game around in our pockets is a tantalising prospect, no doubt. Much like Diablo Immortal, there will likely be several character classes to choose from, such as Marauder, Duelist, Ranger, Shadow, Witch, Templar and Scion, though none of this is confirmed just yet.

You can read all we know so far, including the Path of Exile Mobile release date in case you are interested in all of the info we have so far.

Many of you are already familiar with the cookie games from Devsisters - an adorable endless runner or a delicious kingdom builder/RPG. Both of them have fascinated us with their gameplay and incredibly feisty cookies, but the next big player is already in the making. Cookie Run: OvenSmash is the developers' next project, and it looks like it's going to play by the meta - a MOBA.

OvenSmash looks like the first 3D game with actually rendered cookies (which look as delicious as we might expect them to be, looking at you Pistachio Cookie) and while the title is not final yet, it is all we need to spike our interest. While we wait for this tasty new smashing title to release, you can check out some of our other Cookie Run picks! We've got a list of all the latest Cookie Run: Kingdom codes, as well as all the latest Cookie Run: OvenBreak codes! And if that's not enough, you can also stay up-to-date with the best cookies in Kingdom.

I feel like everyone knows Neopets - that webpage site that seemingly any human on the internet in the early 2000's spent time on. Well, they are currently developing Neopets Mobile, which is nothing like that old site! Instead, players find a small island, after a natural disaster, and need to help the pets out there as they rebuild their world. There are items to collect, lots of nods to the originals world of Neopets, and quests to complete. Though Neopets Mobile doesn't currently have a release date, it does have a cult following and people can apply to test the game ahead of the release.

It's been a while since we've had the pleasure of seeing an absolute masterpiece in terms of simulation - and that is exactly what TABS is. Reminiscing of the good ol' io games, this totally accurate battle simulator is exactly that.

Chaos ensues every step of the way, and battles will be carried regardless, be it on land or water. The game will have adorable 3D graphics and more than enough humour to go around, so make sure you add this to your watchlist because we sure have!

The sequel to the Seven Deadly Sins Grand Cross, this turn-based mobile game showcases a massive, beautiful world filled with stories based on the worldview of the Seven Deadly Sins.

The Sims 5, which is currently under the name Project Rene, is currently being tested on both PC and Mobile, speculating on a mobile release, though this hasn't been completely confirmed, there have been lots of releases around the game being cross-platform on Mobile and PC. This would allow cross-save and multiplayer through the various devices, bringing a lot of new ways to play. There isn't much known about The Sims 5, but I am sure that the game itself will play on a lot of the classic features of The Sims, allowing you to create your own character that lives inside the Sims world.

Sadly without any release date revealed yet, another Assassin's Creed game is yet to hit the market. Assassin's Creed Codename Jade will be F2P, and with the UE5 visuals that we know and love from the previous Assassin's Creed games, we know this one will look amazing.

Taking place in the Qing Dynasty in China, after the events of Odysset and before Odyssey, you know the narrative is going to tie in nicely with all the other games. The gameplay will, of course, be different from the others (since it's on mobile), but if you love an open-world RPG, you're going to love immersing yourself in this experience.

This is yet another game that promises a lot, but we don't see much just yet. It's still in fairly early stages, but so far this ARPG hack'n'slash looks like a game worth adding to your list.

You are in control of a character called Loretta, who has an alien parasite inside. Because of that, she's able to harness a lot of power and use it in order to discover what actually happened with the world she lives in. It's a game with beautiful renditions and visuals, and when it comes to the gameplay, you can probably expect some side-scrolling platformer-like action. So far so good - check out the trailer below!

A rather unique game in terms of features, Purrfect Journey is a survival, text-based game where you get to cast spells by typing them into the text box for an AI to unleash.

As you might expect from the title, you will be playing as a cat from the Kingdom of Cats, who has embarked on a journey to fend off the evil forces in the world. You will be able to team up with other players and even join PvP battles where you'll showcase your true powers. So, craft some good equipment and start mastering the elements!

While we're not sure yet about the actual release date, we do know about Demon Slayer: Battle Royale that it's going to be absolutely fantastic. From graphics and animations that match the ones in the manga (and anime), this game looks like a battle royale similar to Onmyoji: Arena (after all, we did get the characters in there as limited event characters).

The information we have right now is from the Japanese site, so we can't tell for certain if anything will change or stay the same when a Global one rolls around. Until then though, we'll leave you with the trailer below!
