Developer Witch Beam Games prepares to launch its Unpacking game on mobile platforms after it recently arrived on PC in the fall of 2021. The new game was presented today during the Wholesome Direct showcase available for both mobile and tablets -- it is set to launch later this year.
The studio did not announce the official title but did note that it will be available on both iOS for sure based on the trailer that launched. The announcement also follows the recent Unpacking Master, which is a similar version of Unpacking including ads and other microtransactions in the app. For those who are unwilling to wait for the mobile launch, it is available on Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch.
