The weekend is the perfect excuse to sit back and dig into a slice of Android gaming, and there’s plenty of new stuff to be had this week. Here, we round up all of our favourite new Android games and updates in a single place so you can check them out.
Best New Android Games This Week:
Battle Breakers
Battle Breakers is Fortnite developer Epic’s latest release, and it’s a cross platform hero collector RPG. It’s a pretty standard example of the genre in that you spend premium currency to grab a bunch of heroes, create a team out of them, and then autoplay your way through a series of turn-based battles.

Smite Blitz
Smite Blitz is a brand new mobile entry in the hit MOBA franchise. It’s more strategy RPG than MOBA though, with you collecting your favourite Gods like Odin, Thor, and Loki, and building a team out of them. There’s PvE and PvP, providing plenty of variety no matter your taste.
