手机游戏开发是个新兴行业。手机游戏不仅开始逐步完善，创造更优质的体验，还代表着新兴技术。但若你将此行业的发展同PC游戏或掌机游戏相比较，手机游戏显然还有很长的路要走。但若论及游戏行业发展未来，无疑是手机游戏。

手机游戏开发的未来发展有如下几大趋势：

多人模式的手机游戏：由于引入全球多玩家机制，大型多人在线手机游戏备受玩家追捧。玩家可通过手机设备选择全球各地的对手共同参与。虽然这在业内是个非常新颖的构思，但其很快会像PC游戏那样变成大受欢迎的内容。

交互式手机游戏：所有交互式游戏都通过GPRS链接至中央服务器。很多游戏开发公司都借助此趋势创造全新在线游戏（游戏邦注：如诺基亚的SNAP技术就支持交互式手机游戏）。

借助手机游戏的广告活动：手机游戏已成为宣传构思或理念的重要工具，尤其是对制造消费品的企业来说。许多广告公司如今都通过手机游戏推广产品。这是宣传品牌的有效方式。

通过手机游戏宣传电影：目前有很多电影公司和电影制作公司都通过推出手机游戏版电影内容宣传作品。典型例子是《哈利波特》。电影较先推出，其制片人随后制作相应游戏内容，扩大电影所创收益。相反，《波斯王子》游戏较先推出，电影随后才问世。游戏的成功也促进了电影的卖座。

借助手机游戏宣传新产品：很多制造公司如今开始涉猎手机游戏，旨在宣传自己的产品。例如，若你是钢笔制造商，你就可以在游戏中宣传自己的产品，其中玩家有可能会使用你的钢笔（游戏邦注：这样的广告在手机游戏中已司空见惯）。

3D真实情景手机游戏：手机游戏借助3D真实情景跨入新阶段。在此游戏平台中，你可以通过自己的手机设备查看游戏真实情景。此开发模式摆脱资源的所有局限因素。（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译，如需转载请联系：游戏邦）
