The pretty awesome Metroidvania game, Teslagrad, may be coming to iOS. The rumour comes from Twitter account mixtobin (by way of occasional Pocket Gamer news writer Clément Renaudin, a.k.a Killercow), who appears to have some sort of insider knowledge on the game's port. However, the game's original developers, Rain Games, has not yet made any comment on a mobile port.


The game has seen its fair share of ports since its initial launch on PC back in 2013. It's now available on six consoles including the Switch, so a mobile port is certainly not out of the question at all. Rain Games are currently at work on a new title called Mesmer, so it's difficult to say if this port will be handled by Rain Games or an entirely different commissioned dev team.

Teslagrad's release was met with both critical and commercial acclaim - it scored high on review numbers and has sold around 1.6 million copies. It makes a lot of sense to keep expanding the game and releasing it on more platforms, but it's tough to say how the puzzle platformer will fair on mobile devices since some sequences require twitchy controls which is usually difficult to execute on the platform.

Despite this speculation, it's great to see a small indie game get a lot of love and grow to impressive heights. For more updates on the potential Teslagrad iOS port stay tuned in to Pocket Gamer, but if you can't wait for a mobile port you can get it on the Switch right now for £13.49/ $14.99.
