- Autogun Heroes is staying on mobile!
- Nitro Games has taken over publishing duties from Supersonic
- An unannounced new title in the series may also be coming to mobile
Rumors have been circulating that Nitro Games' partnership with Supersonic, which brought Autogun Heroes to mobile, was nearing its end. Thankfully, fans of the fast-paced side-scrolling shooter can rest easy: Nitro has assumed publishing responsibilities to ensure the game remains available on mobile.
Nitro indicates that this new arrangement will help them transition into the next phase for mobile, with potential expansion to other platforms. While specific details remain under wraps, players can likely anticipate further updates and expansions.
Perhaps more intriguing is the mention of an unannounced new release set within the Autogun Heroes universe, which the developers are keeping secret. This revised publishing model clearly aligns with their ambitions to grow Autogun Heroes into a flagship franchise.
Classic Run-and-Gun Action
Autogun Heroes follows in the footsteps of acclaimed side-scrolling shooters like Guns, Gore & Cannoli, which helps explain its popularity. Nitro's move to self-publishing—and away from Unity—suggests strong player engagement on mobile, as the studio seeks to leave its mark on iOS and Android.
While the upcoming Autogun Heroes: Supercharged appears primarily focused on PC, there is hope that this unannounced project will cater to mobile players, particularly given the platform's more casual audience.
