  • Comment: I did a search and I couldn't really find anything out there that wasn't a general notification that this would release. The closest I found was a notification of a soft release in Australia, but that doesn't seem to have generated any actual reviews or additional content. This might be on purpose, as sometimes companies will require the downloaders/purchasers to sign an agreement stating that they won't write about the game prior to its official release - or that they'll only release specific things.
    This looks like it will very likely be notable upon its official release, but I don't see where it's notable in the here and now. Most mobile releases get overlooked in general even if they're attached to a very notable franchise, especially if there's a larger game to pay attention to, like Battlefront.
    My recommendation is that you sit tight on this until the game releases and it gains some reviews. That's usually the easiest way to show notability for an unreleased game, since most of the time the coverage for mobile apps is usually going to be mostly based on press releases that notify that the game will be coming out. This one is somewhat close, but most of this was released around the same point in time and not all of it was usable - I've removed one link that doesn't appear to be a RS, although I left another one that was somewhat dodgy.

  • Comment: I'm going to see if I can find any sources for this. In so doing, I'm going to give this an overhaul, considering this is only a few sentences long. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 08:40, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
  • Comment: This is potentially acceptable, but is there any more recent sources about this? (the last one seems to be August so that may not be updated and will need any more available information and new third-party coverage). Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 06:17, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
  • Comment: This will undoubtedly be notable. Your current sources includes one independent source, and one non-independent source. Try to find a few more like Game Rant. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 00:16, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
