On 16 August 2024, the game was released on <a href="/facts/Mobile_phone/H3EcqD9h">mobile</a> via the <a href="/facts/Epic_Games_Store/bh86n8FD">Epic Games Store</a>, worldwide on <a href="/facts/Android_(operating_system)/nNyHb0xz">Android</a> and only in the <a href="/facts/European_Union/6GYcR8qM">European Union</a> on <a href="/facts/IOS/mK5cggH5">iOS</a>.
