Steve Jobs announced the iPhone 18 years ago this past January, and we finally figured out what to do with it: Balatro. In fact, it’s also other mobile gaming hits, many of which will be featured at the upcoming Future Mobile Gaming Show, airing later this year Thursday, September 26 at 10:00 AM PST, 1:00 PM EST, 6:00 PM UK Time, 7:00 PM CET. Apparently you can also call them. I wouldn’t advise that.
Hosted by none other than Ben Starr — Final Fantasy 16 Clive, living meme, and potential Ixion dater — the Mobile Gaming Show will bring a full slate of incredibly portable announcements to your screen in the very near future. We’ll hear about Digital Extremes’ Warframe Mobile, recent details on CCP Games’ EVE Galaxy Conquest, a recent trailer for NetEase’s Dunk City Dynasty, and cryptic teasers from the creators of Blasphemous, The Game Kitchen, Coffee Stain Malmö, and more.
Where can I watch it? Where jargon Are you watching this? You can find the celebrations broadcasted by YouTube, Cramp, Twitter, Facebook, GamesRadar, Gaming place, NicoNico and more. You can even sign up to stream the whole event together through this form.
Expect about 30 minutes of exclusive reveals, developer interviews, trailers, and other mobile gaming celebrations. If you’re like me, a lot of this will probably be recent to you. I’m a staunch aged man who stubbornly plays, well, everything I play, whether it’s on a monitor, TV, or (at the last resort) Steam Deck.
Mobile is uncharted territory for me, despite being by far the most popular platform on Earth. I’m pretty sure most people who aren’t as old-fashioned as I am don’t see much difference between the games they play on their phones and the games I sit and spend hours of my life playing in my living room. What I’m saying is: Get with the times, aged man (aged man that is me).
I’ll be able to keep up with the times (again) Thursday, September 26 at 10:00 AM PST, 1:00 PM EST, 6:00 PM UK Time, 7:00 PM CET on all platforms listed above.
