Continuing the bizarre streaming - political platform - now - do - free - Mobile River - play tradition recently open up by Netflix , HBOannouncedon Monday that it is partner with Glow Up Games , a company constitute by women of color , to produce a free mobile offer based on the original hit serial publication Insecure .
In apress release , HBO said that Insecure : The come in Up Game , as the project is currently known , take players into the earth of the show ’s main theatrical role , Issa Dee , bringing her “ friendship , drama , and misadventures to lifespan . ” What any of that means from a gaming position is n’t immediately clear , although the game will reportedly include features that allow users to rap conflict in a “ fast - paced verse and lyrical mini game ” and storylines that grant players the power to “ support your friends , fight gentrification , [ and ] create the culture . ” Again , none of that do it totally obvious how any of this will translate to a playable secret plan , but it seems clear that the secret plan ’s main goal will be to help player relive their favorite moment from the serial publication .

And you sleep together what , while we ’re asking the sturdy questions here , it ’s worth wondering out loud why HBO — with its slate of high - fantasy and sci - fi shows that includes Westworld , Game of Thrones , and Lovecraft Country — would spring for an Insecure RPG to kick off its play opening move . Is Insecure ’s ( presumably 30ish ) fan bag the one they ’ve pegged as the gaming set , or would the ostensibly younger gang that ’s rabidly awaiting the second season of Euphoria have been a better market to direct ?
The biggest question by far , though , is still what on the dot waft see the payoff of these free mobile games as being , and to that closing , only time will secern . A sneak peak of The Come Up Game is presently available for free download in the App Store on iOS , and fresh content and feature updates are schedule to wave out throughout 2022 .
