Today we’re releasing Mafia Watch, our first generally available game worldwide and we’re very pleased to announce that Apple has selected it as one of it’s Best of 2015.
Mafia Watch is a unique experience that could only really live on the Apple Watch – like the Watch, its always on and always with you, engaging you in its gameplay with a special blend of rich notifications and a native Watch OS2 App.
When we set out to build Mafia Watch – we wanted to create something that was woven into the way we use Apple Watch – we were fascinated by the power of the notification in Apple’s new device and it felt to us like that communication mechanism could become a core part of the fabric of a new type of game experience – And so, Mafia Watch was born.
To create the game we enlisted the help of an old friend and colleague – Takeshi Otsuka, who joined our team from DeNA where he had created Kaito Royale, one of the DeNA’s biggest games in Japan and one of the first Japanese Mobile super hits.
Takeshi’s unique insight was that we could weave a PvP Collect + Protect mechanic into the heart of a social RPG and create a game that could be interacted with many times a day as you fight to complete your jobs against and with other players.
In the process he created a competitive, collaborative social experience you can play many, many times a day which takes unique advantage of notifications, a native Watch OS2 App & even Siri.
Takeshi and his team at N3TWORK have created the first truly native game for the Apple Watch – something that doesn’t just run on the device, but works for the way we use the device.
