Your World Games today announced that The Shroud is in development for mobile platforms. It is a role-playing title that the publisher hopes will "break new ground in GPS-enabled gameplay." Under the guise of a fair regular RPG game structure and plot is the ability to enter into in-game contests by visiting real-world locations and competing to win specialty items and points. The game is designed to be played in short bursts, but will feature many hours worth of content.

"The mobile platform should not limit a game design. Our goal is to set a new standard for depth in gameplay in the space," said Robert Sprogis, Vice President of Your World Games. "We want to change the way people think about mobile games. They don't have to be poor graphics and quick gameplay sessions. Instead we want to offer compelling stories, large worlds to explore, and take advantage of the mobility of the platform."

The Shroud will release early 2006.
