Dusk is a new mobile game multiplayer app in the works now

Dusk: A New Mobile Multiplayer App Aims to Capitalize on the Trend

Dusk, a recently funded mobile multiplayer app from entrepreneurs Bjarke Felbo and Sanjay Guruprasad, is aiming to make a splash in the booming mobile multiplayer market. This social platform allows users to quickly and easily play games and team up with friends.

Felbo and Guruprasad's previous venture, the Rune companion app for PUBG and Call of Duty Mobile, boasts an impressive five million installs before its closure, demonstrating their experience in the mobile gaming space. While Dusk is a significantly different project, it leverages their past success.

Dusk acts as a game creation platform, hosting custom-made games playable directly within the app. Users can chat and easily connect with friends, making it similar to a streamlined version of Xbox Live or Steam, but focused on its own library of titles.

The Key Challenge: Game Selection

The primary challenge for Dusk is its reliance on the quality and appeal of its internally developed games. While some titles, such as mini-golf and 3D racing, show promise, they lack the established brand recognition of many popular mobile games.

However, Dusk offers a significant advantage: cross-platform play across browsers, iOS, and Android. With other social platforms increasingly integrating gaming features, Dusk's simple, lightweight approach could prove appealing. Only time will tell if it can gain traction.
