Sony Interactive Entertainment, along with developer San Diego, have announced a brand new sports game slated for release on Android and iOS. The title – MLB The Show Mobile – is a smartphone-styled take on the popular MLB The Show series. The title is currently available only in the Philippines as part of a soft launch, and will be getting a wider release over time. Check out the trailer announcing the game below.

MLB The Show Mobile is a free-to-play title, and features all of the game modes you would expect from the franchise. This includes fast-paced game modes that were designed from the ground up to be played on mobile, complete with “the most authentic” licensed MLB and MLBPI baseball experiences.

Along with core baseball gameplay that feature “realistic skill-based controls” designed to be played on mobile, MLB The Show Mobile also allows players to form their own teams by collecting over 1,000 player cards. These cards can then be used to fill up your team’s various positions, and can even take advantage of certain on-field situations thanks to the Momentum system.

When it comes to the core gameplay, MLB The Show Mobile allows players to pull off impressive moves thanks to its skill-based controls that have been described as being “easy to learn, but challenging to master.” This includes the ability to hit an entire grand slam and then striking out the side to get the perfect double play. Runners waiting at bases can also be triggered to manually start running to capture more bases manually thanks to the “Risk It” feature.

On the team-building side of things, the title features true-to-life mobile versions of the most popular athletes from the MLB, with the realism being further boosted thanks to the existence of more than 16,000 unique animations. Along with this, all 30 real-world MLB stadiums are available to play in.

The Momentum system essentially starts things off with each player card having an associated cost. Innings start players out with 10 Momentum, which can then be spent over the course of the match. To maintain Momentum, players will have to successful hit against skilled pitchers and score points. Running out of Momentum means that the team’s power levels will drop down.

Teams can also grow over the course of a series of games, since each player in your team can also get XP, which can then be used to upgrade the player to give them various attribute bonuses. Player cards can also be bought and sold directly through the Marketplace, enabling an entire in-game economy with other real-world players.

It is worth noting that, while it shares the MLB The Show name with the rest of the franchise, the title is a standalone one. This means that it can’t really connect with the mainline console releases in any meaningful way, and this also means that there is no option for cross-platform multiplayer.

In the meantime, San Diego Studio and Sony are getting ready to eventually release MLB The Show 26, which was officially announced just last month.

Sony and San Diego Studio are bringing MLB The Show to iOS and Android devices with MLB The Show Mobile.
