Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, created by Los Angeles-based game developer Jam City under Portkey Games, released in 2018. An immersive, narrative-driven mobile game offering players the ability to customise their experience entirely, the game ranked as the #1 most downloaded game in over 40 countries. In a time where we are seeing the entertainment industry upended by the Covid-19 pandemic, mobile gaming may just prove to be the future of entertainment, and a promising avenue for creatives to consider, according to Jam’s City’s narrative director, Kimberly Hamilton, and Jam City’s co-founder, Josh Yguado.
