Dots will launch its fourth game, Wilds, in late 2017

Dots, the New York mobile game studio behind Dots, is announcing that it will launch its fourth title Wilds in late 2017.

The company has so far thrived on puzzle games such as Dots, Two Dots, and Dots & Co. But the new game is a total departure from the company’s past, as you can see from the trailer below. The title has a cinematic feel, and it will introduce character-led gameplay that builds on the Dots mechanic.
