The famous gaming franchise Hitman is getting a new on mobile platforms which is based on a sniping-based assassination theme. The game will be called Hitman: Sniper Assassins (working title) and is currently under development. The game is being developed by Square Enix itself and this will be the only time throughout the series where users won’t be playing as Agent 47 and will be given an agent with a completely different number. As per the teaser released by the developers, gamers will play as Agent 426 in Hitman: Sniper Assassins. The voiceovers in the teaser are in the voice of Diana Burnwood, Agent 47’s handler, but it is not known what the game’s plot will be.

In a release, Square Enix said that the game is coming in 2021, without giving us an exact launch date. This is less than a year after Hitman 3 was released for PlayStation, Xbox, PC, Nintendo Switch, and Google Stadia. Hitman: Sniper Assassin’s will be launched for both Android and iOS smartphones. The mobile game is a completely separate from the world of the original Hitman trilogy. The Hitman series is owned by IO Interactive. IO Interactive is no longer a part of Square Enix but it gave input to Square Enix on how to fit the game into the existing universe. It seems that there is still some licensing agreement in place for the mobile game.

“Praised as one of the best mobile games available upon its release, Hitman Sniper raised the bar for player expectations of mobile sniper games. Project Hitman Sniper Assassins will be an evolutionary leap forward for the genre, and we can’t wait for players to share our excitement when they get their hands on it in the coming months,” Dominic Allaire, executive producer at Square Enix Montréal said. Square Enix said that the full features of the game will be revealed at a later date.

Mobile games are great to have fun and kill time when you’re on the go. While gaming on a smartphone is the primary format of enjoying video games for many, others often game on PCs and consoles, while keeping their smartphones as a backup gaming device for when you don’t have access to your PC or console.

However, a lot of modern games are cloud-based, requiring a constant connection via either Wi-Fi or your data plan to be playable. Some popular examples include Call of Duty Mobile, FIFA Mobile, Among us and even PUBG Mobile. While these are great, you may not always have access to a reliable connection when gaming. This is why many gamers often load their devices up with some offline games. Here are some of the top offline games that you can find on both Android and iOS

Alto’s Odyssey (Android – FREE, iOS – Rs 499)

Alto’s Odyssey is a side-scrolling infinite running game that requires no internet connectivity. You can slide down various slopes throughout the game while collecting coins. Various terrain elements that you encounter make for great stunt-jump opportunities, that offer more coins. The highlight of the game is its simplistic, enjoyable gameplay and great colourful graphics. A free version gets you the occasional ads, but you can also pay a one-time fee for an ad-free experience.

Friday the 13th (Android, iOS – Free)

If you’re into games based on horror, puzzles, or both, Friday the 13th is one of the most enjoyable titles on the app store shelves. Putting you in the shoes of Jason Vorhees, Friday the 13th will take you across 100 levels filled with gore, where you must slaughter all people while avoiding cops, traps, land mines and more. While not appropriate for all audiences, if you’re old enough, the game can be hours of limitless fun.

GRID Autosport (Android, iOS – Rs 900)

A racing game from the popular GRID series, GRID Autosport takes you racing on the tracks. With full controller support, lots of content and many races, players can be entertained for hours.  The game is based on the PS3/Xbox 360 title of the same name so you get great graphics and good gameplay.

Minecraft (Android – Rs 650, iOS – Rs 599)

If you’re a gamer, you probably have heard of Minecraft already, that is if you don’t already have it on either your PC or your phone. Despite its lack of a plot and minimal graphics, Minecraft continues to be a very popular title across platforms for its endless possibilities. Players can build their own worlds and play in them without requiring a connection. There are also extra skins that can be purchased.

The Room series (Android – Free to Rs 380, depending on the version)

The Room series of puzzle games feature puzzles that force you to brainstorm along with graphics that look great. Each of the games puts you in a room that you must escape by solving the corresponding puzzles. The simple concept means you don’t deal with any ads or in-app purchases. While the game is offline, you will need to be connected if you want to use the auto-save feature so keep that in mind.

60% of Indian mobile users aged 45-54 play games: Study – Times of India

BENGALURU: Gaming is believed to be popular mainly among Gen Z men, those in the age group of 18-24 years. But 60% of those in the age group of 45 to 54 years have taken to mobile gaming, says adtech firm InMobi’s mobile gaming India report 2021.
About 45% of Indian gamers, the study said, started playing mobile games during the pandemic lockdowns.
InMobi in February interviewed 1,000 Indian smartphone users in over 30 cities to understand gaming personas, advertiser insights, and gaming behaviour. It also collected data signals from over 200 million users in India.
India is the fifth largest mobile gaming market in the world. Access to affordable smartphones, cheapest network data tariffs in the world, and improving mobile internet speeds have led to growing adoption of mobile gaming.

“Smartphone penetration has democratised mobile gaming. Last year saw a huge growth in gaming in India. The country was one of the fastest growing in terms of game app downloads,” said Vasuta Agarwal, managing director for Asia-Pacific in InMobi.
Data from its audience engagement platform showed that Gen Z took to casual games, and action/arcade games, while millennials and Gen X preferred action games and board/card games.
InMobi grouped users into committed gamers, regular gamers and occasional gamers. Most Indians (more than 80%) are committed gamers, playing mobile games daily. Committed gamers spend substantially more time per session than other gamers, with over 84% of such players spending up to an hour on mobile gaming in a single sitting.
“There’s a snacking behaviour in mobile gaming — people playing in short spurts throughout the day, in between meetings, chores. About 40% of them spend over 10 minutes per gaming session, and 14% spend more than an hour a day on mobile games,” Agarwal said.
About 72% of women gamers are highly committed gamers in India. While most women gamers snack and play in 10-minute increments, a substantial share play for over an hour.
Most Indian gamers have an average of three games installed on their phones. About 74% of gamers watch an ad to progress in a game, whereas 26% pay money to continue.
Pre-lockdown, Indians would increase their game time between 4:30 pm and 6:30 pm. However, during and post lockdown, game play declined during these hours.
“Pre-lockdown, these hours would typically be when folks would travel back home after a long day at the office. However, during lockdown, these would continue to remain work hours,” the study said.
