A new competitive mobile title has just entered the market which may have esports potential. The new mobile game is titled Mech Arena: Robot Showdown and is published by the same people behind the popular RPG gacha game, Raid: Shadow Legends.

Mech Arena is a 5v5 mobile shooter title that features customizable robots called Mechs. The game promises “skill-based competitive play,” and “fast-paced mech destruction.”

“It’s not about who has the biggest toys, it’s who makes the best plays,” the trailer explained.

The mechs available in the game all have varying stats, abilities, and weapon mounts, offering players the ability to customize their robots and brew their own unique playstyles.

According to a report from Dot Esports, the developers behind Mech Arena stated that the game is built “for every type of gamer.” Casual players are promised quick but entertaining matches while competitive players can spend time and effort into building their own Mech and customize it according to their playstyle to dominate the arena. The game also contains microtransactions to hasten the progression and quickly acquire more mechs and weapons.

“We designed Mech Arena: Robot Showdown from the ground-up to be an accessible and balanced pick-up-and-play shooter on mobile for all ages and skill levels,” stated the CEO of Plarium, Aviram Steinhart, as quoted by Dot Esports. “Casual shooter fans looking to play a few quick rounds can jump right into the action. They’ll be able to have fun battling with different weapons, maps, and mech customizations, without committing to serious competitive play against more dedicated players.”

Interested players can download Mech Arena through the Google Play Store for Android users or the App Store for iOS devices.

The publisher also stated its interest in venturing into the esports market with its new mobile shooter title with the help of its ongoing partnership with popular esports organization, Natus Vincere (Na’vi).

It will be interesting to see if Mech Arena will be able to grow large enough to host its very own international esports event in the future.
