Jadu AR has launched Season 1 for its multiplayer mobile fighting game that uses augmented reality (AR) to blend the virtual and physical worlds.

Dubbed Jadu, the game is available now for free download on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, as well as on Google Play for Android devices.

Building on the game’s initial release in October 2023, Season 1 introduces players to an expanded world of cinematic quests and hero characters with novel fighting styles.

Since launch, Jadu has seen strong early engagement with over 790,000 matches played by 250,000 players, garnering 4.9 stars on the AppStore, said Asad J. Malik, CEO Jadu AR, in an interview with GamesBeat.

The game is moving beyond its initial proof-of-concept phase that allowed players to experience AR combat on their phones to a dynamic adventure with multiple levels, hero characters, robust item shop and skill progression, Malik said.

In Season 1, players will navigate through a supermax prison brought to life in their room one AR fight at a time. As the player’s avatar battles against imperial robot guards with increasingly dangerous attacks, the physical room transforms with prison cells in walls, infinite elevators and elemental research facilities.

Jadu’s approach to AR allows players to control their avatars from a third-person perspective, making gameplay much more comfortable compared to AR’s usual first-person point of view.

Jadu takes modern smartphones that are equipped with LiDAR sensors, high-resolution cameras and fast networking and shows players the true potential of their phone. Jadu makes the most of these features to create dynamic game environments that overlay in the player’s space for an immersive gaming experience.

“After years of iteration we have spatial gameplay that feels natural and immersive without sacrificing scale or accessibility,” said Malik. “But when the character concepts circulated around our remote team, we knew we were building a world worthy of the medium. Season 1 is our joy of discovery packaged into a game.”
