Core games are faring better on mobile these days, and that’s the trend that Pocket Gems is seizing upon with the unveiling of Wild Beyond, a mobile game that blends real-time strategy and collectible card games.

The free-to-play, sci-fi title debuts on iOS on November 22, and it is the first game from Pocket Gems‘ new San Francisco studio, Strange Sevens Studio. It’s the latest game that, after the successful launch of War Dragons in 2015, embraces hardcore gaming on mobile. This strategy, as well as its successful Episode storytelling app, helped Pocket Gems raise $90 million from Tencent in 2017.
