Google’s Niantic Labs — the guys behind the life exploring Field Trip app — have created a new game, a game full of mystery, science, technology, and believe it or not — the real world!

The world’s first cross-platform MMO is still alive and kicking. Whether you’re just getting into it or have been around since its iOS debut back in April 2012, you’ll be happy to hear that today marks the beginning of Pocket Legends’ Double XP weekend!

Spacetime Studios, the guys behind Pocket Legends and Star Legends, have released their latest MMO, and yes, it ends with the word “Legends.” The “Legends” series are certainly one of the most popular mobile MMOs to ever launch and Spacetime Studio’s cross-platform model has been an industry leader. Dark Legends continues this model and is the first MMO to launch simultaneously on mobile and desktop platforms. Interestingly enough, Spacetime Studios has opted to launch Dark Legends on Android before iOS, ending a trend long held by the majority of developers. While this could be seen as a victory for the Android platform, I’m still a strong advocate of simultaneous releases (especially when it comes to cross-platform games).
