Crytek’s The Collectables brings PC-like 3D graphics to mobile tactical-action game (preview)

Game publisher Crytek has followed through on its promise to bring console-like 3D graphics to mobile devices with The Collectables, an action-3D combat game that Japan’s DeNA will soon publish on iOS and Android.

The combination of Crytek, which made the Ryse: Son of Rome game for the Xbox One, and DeNA, one of Japan’s biggest mobile game companies, shows that the powerhouses of the industry are concentrated their resources on bringing hardcore gaming to mobile devices, where billions of dollars are at stake. If they succeed, they could potentially widen the market for hardcore titles and make a lot of money.
