Adult Swim Games has revealed via Twitter that a new Rick and Morty game is in the works called Pocket Mortys. The Tweet comes paired with a short looping video of the gameplay (embedded above), and a short message indicating that it will release in just about a week on January 14th for mobile.
Chris Johnston, Adult Swim Games senior producer, has also confirmed on Twitter that Pocket Mortys will be a free download. So you can probably expect lots of microtransactions, but let's hope it doesn't interfere with the game too much.
From the video, we can surmise that Pocket Mortys will be a Pokémon-like game where various trainers (Rick included) level and battle each other using a team of various Mortys like Scruffy Morty and "classic" Morty. I suspect that the eyepatched Evil Morty will be one of the rarest Mortys available.
