Players assemble a squad of misfit mercenaries in The Collectables and command each soldier through fast-paced third-person tactical combat scenarios. As the action intensifies, they'll upgrade their crews using a collecting card system that unlocks new ways to wipe out the varied enemy types and negotiate the game's immersive 3D environments.  

"As a pioneer in the mobile space, DeNA helps to ensure that the unique, action-packed experience we've created in The Collectables reaches as many players as possible through their groundbreaking Mobage platform," said Kristoffer Waardahl, studio manager at Crytek Budapest.

"Crytek managed to do the unthinkable and integrate their remarkable CRYENGINE technology into the company's first free-to-play mobile game," said Barry Dorf, head of strategic partnerships at DeNA. "The Collectables is a visually stunning and explosive gameplay experience that pushes the boundaries of what can be achieved on mobile devices."

The Collectables is available for free from the App Store on iPhone and iPad at www.appstore.com.

The Collectables is also coming to Android devices soon. Players can preregister and receive an email alert when the game is available for free download via Google Play. They will also receive an exclusive version of the in-game character RELOAD equipped with limited-edition gear by preregistering on The Collectables website: www.thecollectablesgame.com
