Reloaded Productions, the company behind desktop MMO APB: Reloaded, has announced a new mobile spinoff title to the franchise called APB: Retribution. The mobile game will be handled by Blazing Griffin, a developer friend of Reloaded, and will feature top-down gameplay similar to something like Hotline Miami. In fact, in the announcement post on the APB: Reloaded website, the developer goes on to say “Fans of the outstanding Hotline Miami will feel right at home." Retribution features hand-painted artwork and will take place in the same city as Reloaded, San Paro, but will feature locations not seen in the desktop game.
Being that Retribution is being helmed by an outside studio, its initial and continued development shouldn’t impact the progress on APB: Reloaded, just in case you were worried Reloaded was ignoring the many issues that game faces in favor of making a mobile game. APB: Retribution should be out this month on iOS, with an Android version soon to follow, and for more screens and information on the storyline be sure to check out the game’s official website.
