The Hunger Games: Panem Rising Mobile Game Announced

Kabam and Lionsgate announced yesterday that they have teamed up to launch The Hunger Games: Panem Rising, the official mobile game of the highly anticipated film The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1.

The game is now available for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad and Android devices.

"As one of the most popular film franchises in history, Kabam knew we had to deliver an experience that not only dived deep into The Hunger Games universe but was also fun to play," said Mike Li, co-founder and general manager of Kabam's Beijing Studio. "From exploring Districts to recruiting and collecting fan-favorite characters from all three films such as Katniss, Peeta and Gale, fans will appreciate The Hunger Games: Panem Rising's authenticity and enjoy the strategic gameplay."

The Hunger Games: Panem Rising is a role-playing card mobile game, where players immerse themselves into the world of Panem. Assuming the role of a resistance leader, players will recruit a team to aid Katniss Everdeen in the rebellion against the Capitol.
