As we impatiently await the much-anticipated Enter the Gungeon 2, Dodge Roll and Devolver Digital have announced that the first two games in the series are blasting onto mobile this summer.
The bullet-hell roguelike masterpiece Enter the Gungeon is making its mobile debut, while its arcade spin-off Exit the Gungeon is launching across all platforms after a stint as an Apple Arcade exclusive.
That’s not all, as these mobile ports come with some exclusive features. Most excitingly, a brand-new playable character from Cult of the Lamb is being added, and it has its own unique abilities inspired by the hit game.
The post also confirms that the game has been optimised for mobile devices, with touchscreen controls and even online co-op.
The long-awaited sequel was also announced during Nintendo’s Switch 2 Direct this April, and I’m a big fan of its new 3D look. It is clear that there is plenty of life left in the series.
Enter the Gungeon Android & iOS Release Date
Devolver Digital has today confirmed the release date for both versions of the game on mobile, with Enter the Gungeon hitting Android and iOS on August 14th.
The dates on the store listings linked in the text below remain as they were when the original article went online, but the publisher has since confirmed the news via socials.
After doing a bit of digging, it turns out that Apple’s iOS Store confirms an August 15th release date for both Enter the Gungeon and Exit the Gungeon.
I think it’s fair to say that Android gamers can probably expect to get the game at the same time, although the Google Play Store doesn’t have a confirmed release date on its listing at the time of writing.
