LONDON: This year's breakaway hit videogame, Fortnite, which has drawn a younger generation to free-to-play multiplayer games, sending shockwaves through the console gaming market, has attracted new rivals ready to battle it out for vast mobile phone audiences.

Oh BiBi, a small French studio run by former game designers from Gameloft, on June 28 is introducing FRAG, a first-person shooter that lets mobile phone users stage “short but epic” one-on-one battles that could attract more casual game players.
