The 9v9 team shooter features some of the largest team battles on mobile, in which players will utilize teamwork, tactics and strategy to outwit and outplay their opponents. Players will collect and upgrade a variety of troops, vehicles, powerups and defenses, each with their own abilities, strengths and tactics.

Battles get wilder as each game progresses, starting with troops, then larger towers and finally unleashing heavy vehicles. Boom Beach: Frontlines promises regular updates, tons of units, new maps to fight on every four hours and gameplay that will supposedly reward teamwork.
