Set to release this summer. The development for the mobile/tablet version of Backyard Monsters has started 6 months ago. Will be available on iOS and Android devices.
The mobile version will closely resemble the facebook version and it's the first steps for Kixeye going to mobile. Imagine bym players on their phones just having fun on the go. It will be publish to mobile via popular mobile game published mobage. It's only a matter of time till it's released.
According to Brandon Barber, Kixeye’s senior vice president of marketing, the new mobile version of Backyard Monsters is the result of a close partnership between Kixeye and ngmoco, which provided mobile production and development experience.
“We were interested in partnering with them to try to understand what the potential for a franchise like Backyard Monsters is like on mobile,” says Barber. “It’s a really well-known brand and it has a large base of extremely passionate players, many of whom, if not all have mobile devices that are capable of gaming. We felt they understood the value of the Backyard Monsters franchise. They got it, for lack of a better word and that’s really important to us.”
We hope we can access our facebook yards via this mobile version which we will have to wait and see... We will be looking forward to it.
