Multiple mobile gaming eSports competitions have already taken off in a few countries and to know that Malaysia will be the host for the PUBG Mobile Club Open 2019 Fall Split Global Finals is quite a testament. 

While it's impossible to go through every single mobile game to see which one is the best, we can definitely tell you which were (and still are) super enjoyable and our favourites. Do keep in mind that the games listed here are in alphabetical order, so without further ado.. here are our Favourite Mobile Games so far in 2019.

Finally, we may just have a date for the not-so-much-anticipated Diablo Immortal. If you aren’t familiar, the game is a MMORPG for PC brought over to mobile. Only weeks before Blizzcon, a leak has been found about the game, alleging that it may be released on the 25th of October, a week before the event.

Snapchat and SYBO Games has announced today that you can race against your friends via Subway Surfers Air Time, which can be found on the Snapchat app. To go into more detail about the game, Subway Surfers Air Time is the first franchise extension from the immensely popular Subway Surfers game released several years back.

In case you guys didn’t know, Call of Duty Mobile - Garena is now officially available tomorrow for free via the Google Play Store and the iOS app store. The game includes various modes such as the classic multiplayer mode found on the PC edition, as well as battle royale mode. In addition to that, game also features unique weapons and customizability in order to complement your playstyle.

Square Enix’s Final Fantasy Twitter account has recently tweeted that Final Fantasy VIII will be remastered and released onto several platforms such as the PS4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One as well as PC via Steam. The remastered version of the game will feature enhanced graphics, effects, and HD Textures. 

In conjunction with Bethesda’s 25th anniversary, they have released official ports of Doom as well as Doom II on the Google Play Store going for USD4.99 (~RM20.58) per title. These ports will include all expansions as well as additional content that was developed, as well as twenty community-created Master Levels.

Battle Royale games have attracted quite a huge crowd in the last couple of years, and we don’t expect the hype to die down soon. In fact, almost all Triple-A title games come included with some form of Battle Royale mode, such as Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout mode and Battlefield 5’s Firestorm.
