Play Together teams up with Sanrio to bring some iconic characters to Kaia Island

Posted by Shaun Walton on April 5th, 2024

I was quite surprised to learn that the massive social network game Play Together had never collaborated with the globally popular Sanrio IP, it seems like the perfect team. Well, this glaring omission has now been rectified, as that instantly recognisable feline and friends head to Kaia Island.

By heading to Downtown Kaia Island you will be able to spot a new building that has opened, and by this I mean you will be unable to miss the giant pink hotel. Cross its threshold, and you will find yourself mobbed by a host of cute characters. Hello Kitty, My Melody, and Cinnamoroll are but a few of the new friends you will make.

Dark and Darker Mobile gets a new teaser trailer showing a glimpse of the pitfalls of spleunking for fortune

Posted by Shaun Walton on April 4th, 2024

Bluehole Studio and KRAFTON have released a new teaser trailer for their upcoming loot extravaganza Dark and Darker Mobile. Alongside this look into the underside of treasure hunting, we have received a few pieces of information about gameplay modes and other offerings.

Dark and Darker Mobile is an extraction RPG, the type of game where you charge into a map and try to gather as much as you can then escape before invariably getting sniped. The difference here is that Bluehole has done away with the usual guns, and instead, you will have to embrace your inner medieval warrior to succeed.

DOFUS Touch relaunches on the global stage with a new English Server

Posted by Shaun Walton on April 3rd, 2024

After being a big part of a lot of gamers - or at the very least my - school years with Dofus and Wakfu, Ankama sort of shied away from the global stage a bit before staging a big comeback with Waven last year. Now, the France-based developers are taking another step on their march to global domination, with a global relaunch of DOFUS Touch.

Originally launched back in 2016, DOFUS Touch plops you in the middle of the World of Twelve, with nothing but a pocketful of dreams and one goal; learn about the mysterious and powerful dragon eggs called Dofus. It's an interesting world, and one whose lore feeds directly into the Wakfu Netflix series, if you like your world-building.

Posted by Shaun Walton on April 2nd, 2024

One of the many good things about holding a suitcase full of titles is the ability to truly embrace each holiday, and Netmarble is doing just this with four of its top games. To celebrate Easter, players will be able to jump into their favourite games and get some goodies.

Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds fans looking for a change of aesthetics will be pleased, as you can pick up a set to turn you into a sort of les resolutions squiggle monster.

MLB Perfect Inning 24 hits a home running with its latest update

Posted by Shaun Walton on April 1st, 2024

Ask someone to name America's biggest sports and they will probably name Basketball or Football. However, there is a third, the often-named America’s Favourite Pastime, Baseball. It might be slower to watch but still fun to play, and the officially licenses MLB Perfect Inning 24 has just come out with a major new season.

Lending their image to this update is acclaimed Shortstop for the Texas Rangers' - formally the Los Angeles Dodgers - Corey Seager. After storming his debut season and picking up Rookie of the Year, he has gone on to notch up four All-Star appearances, and two World Series MVP awards. To celebrate his ambassadorship, his card will provide players with improved stats.

Whitethorn Games combines two completely different pastimes in Skate Fish

Posted by Shaun Walton on March 28th, 2024

If you have ever gone fishing then you know that it is a lesson in patience, sitting around waiting for a bite that may never come. Well, that's because you have been doing it wrong, since as Whitehorn Games now demonstrates in new release Skate Fish, the only way to catch a fish is with sick skateboarding tricks.

Indeed it is that combination you never knew you needed; Tony Hawk Pro Skater meets Fishing Planet, for the only way to land a fish in this world is by impressing them with your epic tricks. Using a two-finger touch control reminiscent of those old finger decks, you can land your prey with a variety of tricks.

Call of Duty Warzone is a Waiting Simulator

It's always fun when a splashy multiplayer game comes to mobile because they are few and far between, so I was excited to see the notification about Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile (finally) launching last week and wanted to try it out. As someone who was familiar with the PC version of the game, I thought I had a good sense of what to expect, but I was surprised to find myself quickly bored with the mobilized battle royale.

To be clear, Warzone Mobile doesn't seem to do anything drastically different than its console and PC counterpart. In fact, it retains its high player count, boasting now to be the mobile battle royale with the highest amount of live players per match. It also retains all of the features that distinguish the Call of Duty-branded battle royale apart from the others. So, I guess what I'm saying is that before you read on, know that if you are just interested in knowing how much Warzone Mobile is like Warzone, the answer is very.

Albion Online introduces some massive new updates to its Guild content

Posted by Shaun Walton on March 27th, 2024

Sandbox Interactive has announced an upcoming update to its flagship MMORPG Albion Online, containing massive updates to its existing guild Vs guild systems. Someone clearly rewatched the Helms Deep battle in Lord of the Rings and spent the next few days furiously coding, because sieges are about to get much bigger starting April 15th.

Kicking off we have the introduction of Fortifications, which does pretty much what you expect. If your guild holds any territory then you are going to want to spend some resources to put up defences to make them a bit harder to raid or conquer. Harder, but not impossible, because we also have a new way to attack.

Chucklefish announces launch date of their roguelike deck builder Wildfrost for mobile

Posted by Shaun Walton on March 26th, 2024

Chucklefish, the indie London-based team we probably all know from developing Terraria or their stint publishing Stardew Valley, has revealed the mobile release date for roguelike deck-builder Wildfrost. Developed by Gaziter and Deadpan Games, the sun has frozen over, and the world is in peril.

Wrap up warm as you will find yourself in a barren, frozen landscape, armed only with a deck of cards as you venture forth to try to reclaim this world that the titular Wildfrost has overtaken by reaching the Sun Temple. The only thing stopping this icy menace from engulfing all is the small village of Snowdwell and its hardy inhabitants.

Netmarble opens pre-registration for action RPG anime adaption Solo Leveling: Arise

Posted by Shaun Walton on March 25th, 2024

It has been close to three years since Netmarble announced they would be adapting the smash series Solo Leveling into a video game, and at last, they have announced the opening of pre-orders for Solo Leveling: Arise.

Solo Leveling follows the story of Jinwoo, a hunter barely worthy of the title. One day, he and his fellow fighters were taking on an incredibly powerful double dungeon that almost kills them all, until Jinwoo is the sole human chosen to receive the ability to level up his power, setting him on course for greatness.

PUBG Mobile celebrates sixth anniversary by drafting in viral song maker JVKE

Posted by Shaun Walton on March 22nd, 2024

For the past six years, PUBG Mobile has been one of the most popular shooters you can play in the palm of your hand, and Krafton is celebrating this milestone and many years of ups by teaming up with hit music man JVKE to create a special song for the occasion.

The result of this collaboration of champions is titled clouds, without capitalisation, I presume to provoke the rage you get from being spawn camped in the game. It serves as both JVKE’s new single and the theme for PUBG Mobile’s sixth anniversary, although it is oddly a quiet, slower-paced tune than you'd picture from a shooter.

ASTRA: Knights of Veda refuse to pump the brakes on the hype train as they release a second collaboration with Seventeen

Posted by Shaun Walton on March 21st, 2024

In perhaps the most recent example of being incredibly eager, ASTRA: Knights of Veda has dropped its second collaboration with South Korean boyband Seventeen, named so as it consists of exactly thirteen members and a video collaboration with Lee Na Gyung of fromis_9.

The audio and visual aspects also go hand in hand in hand with gaming, so it’s nice to get a few treats in these categories. Seunkwan of Seventeen has released an OST titled Lonely Stars, an acoustic guitar and piano-backed melody recorded in Korean, Japanese, and English, following bandmate Hoshi’s release earlier this month.

Backbone complete its lineup of 2nd Generation products with the arrival of the updated Lightning controllers

Posted by Shaun Walton on March 19th, 2024

With all the ports of big AAA games that have been coming to mobile, it is becoming more convenient than ever to own a good controller, and to help with this Backbone has announced the completion of their 2nd generation product lineup with their Lighting connection counterparts.

At this point I am sure we have all heard of Backbone, they make some pretty decent hardware that is shaped like the standard console controller for that familiar feel. Style-wise it seems that the 2nd generation hasn’t changed much, but inside there have been some innovations.
