Codebrew Games released Pocket City 2 ($4.99) on mobile a few months ago, and it is fantastic. We featured it as our Game of the Week and also one of the best games on mobile so far in 2023. Read my glowing review of it here. Today, Pocket City 2 has been updated to bring in hover cars and the Hover Car Factory, new clothing items to unlock, the Undercover Police mini-game, and some more fixes.

Since launch, it has gotten a few notable updates, but this one feels like the first major one. Free updates for a game that overdelivered in value are more than welcome. I’m interested to see what else from my interview eventually makes it in the game. Read my Pocket City 2 interview here covering many aspects of the game including pricing and more. You can buy Pocket City 2 on the App Store for iOS here and on Google Play for Android here. Check out the official website here.

Last week, Hamster and SNK released Crossed Swords ACA NeoGeo on mobile. Read Shaun’s review of it here. Ever since I started paying attention to the ACA NeoGeo games on Switch many years ago, I’ve been glad that so many games I hadn’t ever heard of, are preserved on modern consoles and more recently mobile.

Mojang and Microsoft previously revealed the official name and more details for the Minecraft ($6.99) 1.20 update. The Minecraft 1.20 Trails and Tales update was confirmed for release this year, and it has been confirmed to release on June 7th worldwide. If you’ve not kept up with the main game recently, it had a Dungeons and Dragons collaboration recently announced with the iOS version even getting keyboard and mouse support a little while ago. The Minecraft Trails and Tales update includes a new biome, new mobs, blocks, new ways to shape your own game story, and more. The update will bring in the bamboo and cherry wood sets, the ability to build a raft, and a lot more. Watch the showcase for the update below:

More details for the update including mobs and what players can expect for the library are here on the official blog post. If you’ve not played Minecraft for a while, now is a great time to jump in. I’m interested to see what else comes to Minecraft this year following the 1.20 Trails and Tales update. While I think Microsoft will want everyone to stream it, I still would love to see Minecraft Dungeons and Minecraft Legends hit iOS and Android with cross play. The Microsoft and Bethesda showcase is also very soon, so we likely will have more Minecraft announcements there. Have you played Minecraft recently on mobile on any other platform and what do you think of the Minecraft Legends?
