Apple Watch: The versatile Apple Watch (from $399 for Series 4) is also a decent gaming platform for players on the go. There's a lot to like about Apple Watch (Series 4, from $399), a trendy wearable that can help calculate your fitness, monitor your health, and lets you tap to make payments at retail. It can take calls and texts, show you photos posted to social media, navigate streets with maps, and it supports Siri, Apple's personal assistant, so you can raise your wrist to ask a question or give a command. And despite its teeny screen, Apple Watch is also a convenient gaming platform. Oh sure, don't expect a deep experience as you might find on a PC or console, but tapping through a "quick fix" digital diversion may help pass the time in line at a supermarket.

Japanese video game developer Square Enix announced Thursday that it's working on a role-playing game exclusively for the Apple Watch. The report comes after the video game publisher, famous for its iconic franchises "Final Fantasy" and "Dragon Quest," pulled installments of its "Chaos Rings" series from the App Store. Square Enix also reportedly filed a trademark for a game called "Cosmos Rings" in Europe. The company has now announced that the new game will be called "Cosmos Rings." The game is scheduled for a summer release and will be among one of the first role-playing games specifically designed for the Apple Watch.

Announced via Famitsu, Cosmos Rings is releasing worldwide this summer as one of the first RPGs out there specifically for the Apple Watch. Said to utilize the Apple Watch's pedometer, Cosmos Rings looks like a trippy and colorful good time that will hopefully utilize the watch's special features. Takehiro Ando (Chaos Rings) is producing the game, while Yusuke Naora is responsible for the artwork, which looks like a delightfully futuristic amalgam of old and new. It'll be interesting to see how this Apple Watch exclusive will actually play.

You probably wouldn't put the Apple Watch in the same category as a PlayStation 4, but one of the world's most beloved video game publishers is going to try. Square Enix, the company behind franchises like "Final Fantasy" and "Dragon Quest," announced Thursday that it is developing a new role-playing game for the Apple Watch. It's called "Cosmos Rings" and it's expected to release in Japan this summer. The company says it's the "world's first" RPG made fully for the Apple Watch. That's arguable: There have been other RPGs that run on the device, like "Watch Quest!" and "Runeblade," but "Cosmos Rings" could be the first that doesn't require an iPhone.
