- The Percy Jackson series is a book series written by Rick Riordan!
- Currently, the series has been made into a live-action adaption as well as have some graphic novels!
- The game would be an adventure-action turn based RPG that has episodic updates!
When it comes to book series that need a mobile game adaptation, the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series by Rick Riordan is at the very top of the list. With its deep mythological roots, hilarious characters, and an epic world that fans have grown up with, it’s shocking that we still don’t have an RPG game built around this universe. So let’s dive into this dream and imagine what a Percy Jackson mobile game could look like!
Featured Column – Mobile Games We Wish Existed
GamingonPhone’s Mobile Games We Wish Existed is a fun column where we imagine creative game concepts and explore how popular IPs could be made for mobile. From fan-favorite franchises to niche gems, we dive into what could make these dream games both exciting and playable on the go.
What is Percy Jackson all about
If you’re not familiar, the Percy Jackson series follows a teenage boy who discovers he’s a Demigod (half human, half Greek god) and is thrust into a world of monsters, ancient prophecies, and divine drama. Percy, the son of Poseidon, joins Camp Half-Blood, a sanctuary and training ground for demigods, where he makes lifelong friends, battles terrifying monsters, and ends up saving the world (more than once).
The books are filled with hilarious banter, high-stakes quests, and a deep well of Greek mythology that’s been cleverly reimagined for a modern audience. With multiple spin-offs and a live-action series airing, it’s the perfect time to bring this universe to life on mobile.
A narrative-driven RPG adventure inspired by Greek Mythology
A Percy Jackson mobile game would work brilliantly as a story-rich RPG where you play as a brand-new demigod, going through your journey at Camp Half-Blood. You’d start by being “claimed” by one of the twelve Olympians. Your parent could be Athena, Apollo, Hades, or even one of the minor gods like Nemesis or Hypnos, each granting you different powers, perks, and quests.
From there, your story would unfold as you train at camp, bond with your fellow campers, go on divine quests across the country, and unravel new prophecies that could reshape the world of gods and mortals. Think of it like Baldur’s Gate 3 meets Genshin Impact, but with monsters like hydras, minotaurs, and drakons waiting around every corner.
And let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want to play a turn-based battle RPG where you are up against Medusa in a department store or fight off a manticore on a flying school bus?
Art style and visuals for an imagined Percy Jackson game
When it comes to visuals, I’d love to see something vibrant and stylized. Something between the charm of Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds and the slick combat animations of Honkai Star Rail. Camp Half-Blood would be this glowing sanctuary with rustic cabins, glowing campfires, and that big strawberry field in the distance.
Meanwhile, the mortal world would be shadowed and mysterious, filled with monsters disguised as regular humans and cursed landmarks you can explore. The UI could resemble an ancient scroll, with animated prophecies and character lore unlocking as you progress.
And the cutscenes? I’m picturing dramatic, cinematic sequences that bring in the gods, reveal cryptic messages from the Oracle of Delphi, and drop plot twists you never saw coming.
Beloved characters that could shine in a Percy Jackson Game
Of course, a Percy Jackson RPG wouldn’t be complete without the fan-favorite characters we all love. Imagine interacting and teaming up with characters like Annabeth Chase, Grover Underwood, Nico di Angelo, or even Thalia Grace.
Each would have their own set of abilities: Annabeth could boost strategy-based attacks, Nico could summon undead minions, and Grover could charm nature spirits to fight on your side. You’d also face off against classic enemies like Luke Castellan, Kronos, and even Ares in high-stakes boss fights, each with mechanics that tie into their myths.
And yes, I want to be able to summon Blackjack, Percy’s loyal pegasus, mid-fight for a flashy attack or quick escape. Building your dream squad of demigods, gods, and mythical creatures could add a whole new level of excitement. Plus, seasonal events could introduce new characters and challenges, from the Labyrinth reappearing to a sudden escape from Tartarus.
Why a Percy Jackson game would be perfect for mobile
A Percy Jackson game feels like it was made to be a video game. Its episodic nature could allow for regular content drops, each tied to different quests, gods, or prophecies. It’s also easy to imagine daily challenges, PvP Capture-the-Flag matches, and time-limited storylines that reflect ancient holidays or events, like a Dionysus-hosted festival or a solstice battle royale.
More importantly, a mobile platform would open the gates of Camp Half-Blood to everyone, whether you’re a longtime fan who grew up with the books or someone discovering the series for the first time through the new live-action adaptation.
With rich lore, unforgettable characters, and a universe that practically begs for exploration, a Percy Jackson RPG on mobile could be a godsend (literally and figuratively). Until then, we’ll just keep waiting by the campfire, drachma in hand, hoping the gods of game development are listening.
