Telltale Games and Night School Studios have just announced an all-new videogame experience based on USA Network’s Mr. Robot.
Previously rumoured by Telltale on social media, the episodic hacking adventure has now been confirmed by the developer for iOS and Android devices.
Known for episodic games such as The Walking Dead, Minecraft: Story Mode and The Wolf Among Us, Telltale is no stranger to taking on popular IP.
Mr. Robot is trying something a little different to what Telltale fans are normally used to, having you play in real-time as you communicate with characters from the show in dynamic text threads.
“Ever since MR. ROBOT burst onto the scene, fans have been looking for new ways to immerse themselves more deeply into its story and overall experience,” said Richard Rothstein, Executive Vice President, Current Programming, Universal Cable Productions. “This game does just that, giving players a chance to interact with the series characters on a journey only possible in the world of MR. ROBOT.”

Mr. Robot follows Elliot Anderson (Rami Malek), a cyber-security engineer who finds himself at the centre of a nationwide hacking conspiracy. Elliot soon befriends a group of similarly gifted hackers, known as fsociety, as they strive to take down Evil Corp and free the country’s citizens from debt.
The first episode, titled 1.51exfiltratiOn is now available on iOS and Android devices for £2.99/$2.79.
