Donald Mustard, the lead designer of Infinity Blade 2 ($6.99), is teasing an app update that includes “Clash Mobs,” which will allow players from all over the world to play the game and fight enemies together in real time.
“Clash Mobs will appear in an update of the game and incorporate players from all over the world,” Mustard told Mashable. “Right now, you play the game by yourself, but Clash Mobs will let you partner with thousands of other players in real-time to help you reach a goal in the game.”

The update is expected to roll out within the next six months.
“If you’re fighting a giant monster, there’s only so much one player can do alone,” Mustard said. “We want to make big challenges a group effort, so after you’re done shooting the monster, another player can step in and work to finish him off. This could even take 24 hours, with lots of players stepping in to help.”
Eventually, thousands of people will work together to defeat the game’s enemy and everyone that helped along the way will receive a collective gift.
“Whether it’s a rare sword or extra points, we’ll reward gamers for their collaborative efforts,” Mustard said.
Mustard said Clash Mobs will involve iCloud and other servers to keep tabs on what players are doing, and so players can keep track of other people’s progress, as well.
“We want gaming apps to be a massive social event, and this will be a step in the right direction,” Mustard said. “The concept is already available on certain games such as Words With Friends, so we wanted to incorporate a social component to this role-play games, as well.”
