Crytek and DeNA partner to launch mobile action game The Collectables

Crysis developer Crytek has published games through Electronic Arts, Microsoft, and itself — and now it’s working with DeNA to take on mobile.

This week, Crytek launched its action-shooter The Collectables on iOS through DeNA’s Mobage platform. This game has players putting together a team of oddball mercenaries to blast through levels. They can upgrade their characters and equipment as they defeat enemies to take on more difficult challenges — it will also feature in-app purchases to speed up that process. The Collectables marks Crytek’s first move into the $16 billion mobile gaming market, and it is available now as a free download from the iOS App Store.
