Following the footsteps of Nintendo, Sony is gearing up to release five mobile games based on popular PlayStation series.
Earlier this year, Sony opened a mobile game division, ForwardWorks. The company confirmed that the new division is tasked with creating apps and "full-fledged game titles" for Android and iOS devices. The still-unannounced 5 games are poised to be the studio's first outputs
A report from one of Japan's largest news outlets, Nikkei, hinted that Sony will leverage its mobile games initiative to revive older PlayStation franchises that are no longer available on the current generation. The report also indicated that the mobile games might be linked to the PlayStation 4 in some form or another.
The five games will be released around late March 2018 but they will launch first in Japan and other Asian regions. Nikkei expects an official announcement to be made by the end of the years.
