What we think about, what we're building, and why.
Most multiplayer mobile games turn into solo grinding the second your group logs off. The eight that actually clear the bar in 2026 — Brawl Stars, Pokémon UNITE, Among Us, MISFITZ, Stumble Guys, and more — and which one fits which kind of group.
Among Us made hundreds of millions of people fall in love with one specific feeling: looking at another player, knowing they might be lying, and having to decide what to do. What do you play if you want that feeling but with action instead of meetings?
Brawl Stars: 70 million monthly players, three-minute matches, friendly chaos. ARC Raiders: extraction tension, social betrayals, lose-it-all stakes. They look nothing alike. They feel almost the same. MISFITZ is built for the intersection — and one of the people who built Brawl Stars is making it.
Extraction shooters are the hottest genre in gaming and 2026 is the year mobile catches up. Tom Clancy's The Division Resurgence, Delta Force, VALORANT Mobile, ARC Raiders mobile rumors, MISFITZ — the upcoming extraction games actually worth tracking on phones.
Most "best upcoming mobile games" lists are written by people who have never shipped one. We've shipped a few. Here's the honest take on the ten titles that matter in 2026 — VALORANT Mobile, Rainbow Six Mobile, Arknights: Endfield, Honor of Kings: World, MISFITZ, and the rest.
Extraction shooters are the most interesting genre in gaming right now. On PC and console, there are real choices. On mobile, the picture is messier. Seven games are competing for the space, and they have almost nothing in common beyond the word "extraction" in their store listing.
Every competitive game you've ever played has the same premise: here are the rules, here is what winning looks like, now go. Extraction shooters threw that out. They dropped you into a world full of valuable things and dangerous people and said, "Leave whenever you want. If you can."
We plastered posters over street art. The graffiti community called us out. So we tracked down the artist, apologized, and turned a mistake into something real.
Extraction shooters produce some of the best moments in gaming. They also demand your entire evening, a Wikipedia tab for the ammo system, and the patience of someone who enjoys filling out tax forms. We wanted the moments without the homework.
During a MISFITZ alpha session, a player teamed up with a stranger. They cleared three areas together, split every piece of loot evenly, played like friends. Thirty seconds from extraction, the stranger stopped moving. Two seconds of nothing. Then they turned and killed him.
Every character in MISFITZ tells you something about the person playing them. Ray, Rush, Beat, Gloss, Shade, and Drip. Not because we designed it that way, but because when you give people six distinct personalities and a game built on trust and betrayal, people self-sort.
Why we're building MISFITZ. The social emergence that defines PC extraction shooters didn't exist on mobile yet. The team behind Clash Royale, Brawl Stars, and Candy Crush set out to change that.
I want to tell you what it feels like to watch 83,500 strangers play a game you built in a small office in Barcelona. It feels like losing control. In the best possible way.
Nobody says "wanna hang out?" anymore. They say "get on." The lobby is the parking lot. The Discord server is the group chat. And if you built something people play alone in a dark room, you built it for a world that doesn't exist anymore.
