Without a lot of spoilers, this game focuses less on action and more on exploration and emotional storytelling. This game has been eagerly awaited for its presence on Android by game fans.
This game is already available on iPhone, but Life is Strange is scheduled to be released on Android in early 2022. This game will be a new game that replaces other old games.
Because the story is sad, it is not uncommon for someone to cry while following the story.
12. Tekken Mobile
When I heard Bandai Namco had developed a new version of Tekken on Android, my heart skipped a beat (so happy to hear this news). Tekken’s combat attack tactics are hugely popular on consoles, and Android is about to see a new, high-quality fighting character.
Tekken Mobile is one of the game titles promoted with Razer’s HP, and this fighting game can run smoothly on this flagship cellphone with 120 FPS. The gameplay mechanism uses a sliding touch system instead of a virtual controller (it’s okay as long as it runs well).
Unlike Tekken on consoles, which has scenarios for each character, there is a stat system for each character which can be upgraded with experience points to unlock special abilities and additional characters.
To be sure, this game is headed towards a game of collecting, repetitive and small transactions that detract from the combat experience we’ve always loved from Tekken games. However, since the game is free to play, I’ll give it a try and see if it’s a good game to play on Android.
13. Contra: Return
Contra is a classic game franchise that has been around since the 80s, and has been released on a wide variety of arcade machines. Unfortunately, this game doesn’t have a great history on mobile, the Original Contra game was remade in China and briefly spread outside of China before being pulled from the Play Store.
But there is still hope, the game Contra: Return, made by Tencent and Konami is currently being tested in China, and is scheduled to be released worldwide. This game has 3D graphics and big bosses like in the usual series as well as continuous shooting and classic 2 player mode.
14. Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery
Potter fans will probably be looking forward to going back to school after the Christmas holidays. With the fantasy magic abilities of the Harry Potter novels, this game is surprisingly long in the making with an RPG theme. This game is a game made by Portkey Games (part of Warner Bros.), which also developed an augmented reality game called Harry Potter: Wizards Unite.
Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, however, may be more exciting because it allows players to enroll in a leading wizarding school, take classes, learn spells, and possibly, unravel the popular mysteries that exist in the world of Harry Potter.
15. Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds Mobile: Battlefield
If you know anything about PC gaming, then you will be familiar with Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds, or PUBG, the multiplayer action royale game that became very popular, with sales of over 20 million copies and reaching 3 million concurrent players.
There are two PUBG game titles on Android that are being developed. One of them is called Army Attack, which is slated to provide more arcade-like gameplay, but we prefer Battlefield, which promises to have intense multiplayer battle royale on the PC version.
There are major titles we’re looking to play in 2022, but that’s not all. Popular sports game titles like FIFA 2022 will get an updated version. Some of the games that did well on iOS, such as Street Fighter IV: Champion Edition, will also be coming to Android in 2022.
Many of our favorite games are constantly being updated and getting development, and there will no doubt be some nice surprises this year.
