Anyone else feel like the iOS version was shadow-dropped? I don’t think they mentioned at Gamesom that it’d be releasing on the 27th, and while they have advertised it (and there were booths to play it there), it’s always had a vague “Summer 2024” release date. The IOI twitter and bluesky are more than happy to post developments on the 007 First Light wishlist campaign, but they seldom talked about the iOS port and when that’d be releasing. That seems like a failing in marketing from my point of view. No suggesting it’d be releasing soon. It just…released.
And they certainly didn’t mention it was going to be quasi-episodic until yesterday either. Why do I get this sinking feeling the company just wants to hide all its dirty laundry until the last possible moment?
While I’m here, I have noticed more frustrations by players (and @Tiki2970 above) that the game has no cross-platform progression between iOS and PC/ consoles…despite having an account-based system, which is dumb for reasons I’ve explained many times before. And it gets farcical when you realize that twitch items can carry over…but not unlocks or game progression from other ports.
That is madness. Please add cross-saving and cross-platform progression to your, and I must stress this again to the audience members in the back row, always online account-based game. People who are already playing their game on their preferred platform are not going to start again on another one!
