Film studio Lionsgate and game developer Kabam today announced the release of The Hunger Games: Panem Rising, a role-playing card game based on upcoming movie, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1. The mobile game is available today for iOS and Android devices for free.

Panem Rising was developed by Kabam’s studio in Beijing, and is described as an “action-packed role-playing card mobile game.” The game takes place in the nation of Panem, and you’ll play as a leader of the resistance, recruiting a team to help series hero Katniss Everdeen overcome the Capitol forces.

Well-known characters such as Katniss, Gale, and Peeta (among others; see above) can be recruited into your ranks, and they each have their own unique traits and special abilities. Once you form a team, you’ll be able to give your recruits special items discovered throughout the world of Panem.

“As one of the most popular film franchises in history, Kabam knew we had to deliver an experience that not only dived deep into The Hunger Games universe but was also fun to play,” Kabam Beijing Studio co-founder Mike Li said in a statement. “From exploring Districts to recruiting and collecting fan-favorite characters from all three films such as Katniss, Peeta, and Gale, fans will appreciate The Hunger Games: Panem Rising’s authenticity and enjoy the strategic gameplay.”

This is not Kabam’s first licensed game, as the studio also created various mobile and PC titles based on The Hobbit. For more on Panem Rising, check out a gallery of images below.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 comes to theaters on November 21.
