Jam City announced that its real-time strategy mobile game World War Doh will debut on February 20.
And Culver City, California-based Jam City will host a champions tournament slated for the spring as the maker of casual games moves into a more hardcore gaming genre.
Set against the backdrop of the outlandish world of Planet Doh, World War Doh drops players in the middle of chaos as two maniacal brothers, hellbent on destroying each other, discover a biological substance that allows them to create armies from their warped imaginations.
World War Doh is the first mobile game launched by the company’s Bogota studio, previously named Brainz, since Jam City acquired it in 2018. The “midcore” game (which has hardcore roots but can be played in short game sessions) has been previewed and gotten a lot of attention. Alejandro Gonzalez and Jairo Nieto founded the studio and serve as co-general managers.
