Twinfinite

Taiwanese developer Ming Yen Wu released a new video of his upcoming third-person action game Drifting: Weight of Feathers.

The video is designed as an audio test, but it provides a new look at the gameplay of the upcoming indie title, which mixes parkour with sleek action combat.

You can check ut out below. Since this is the first time we cover this game, I also included a more comprehensive trailer, to give you a better idea of what it’s all about.

Today Cloud Imperium Games revealed another new ship coming down the line to the growing space simulator Star Citizen.

The new ship, named MISC Odyssey, was presented at the MISC Day of the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo 2951 currently being hosted in the game. It’s a massive exploration vessel that could basically be defined as a flying space station.

Within its 140 meters hull, it includes hangars for vehicles and smaller crafts, habitation, a tier 2 medical bay, a 252 scu cargo hold, and even its own mining and refining equipment, so you can basically extract fuel from the environment and refine it on the spot in order to extend its range indefinitely.

While it can already be purchased starting at approximately $700, it’s still a concept. That means that, unlike the Argo Raft, it’s not flyable yet.

It’s worth mentioning as always that purchasing ships with real money isn’t required and that all ships are available for purchase using in-game credits soon after they’re made flyable. The option should be considered only if you care to support the development of the game. If you don’t, you can and should grind for it.

While this isn’t flyable yet, you can also try most of the available ships via the Free Fly event that is going on until December 1, granting everyone access to the game and its ships at no cost.

You can check out the trailer below, alongside a gallery of artwork, and a look at the Argo and Drake days of the expo, in case you missed them.

Today the Granblue Fantasy Versus Cygames Cup 2021 Winter was hosted, and the developer had a surprise in store for the fans.

We get to see the gameplay of Vira, the newest DLC character coming for the game, with a release window slated for December.

In the first two clips below you can see a breakdown of her moves and a match. The third clip will prove rather familiar to her fans, and comes from her brand new page on the official website, alongside a bunch of screenshots.

It’s worth mentioning that she won’t be the last character released for the game. At least another one is coming, and he or she will likely be announced at Granblue Fantasy Fes next month. It has recently been confirmed for December 11 and December 12, and promises new information about Granblue Fantasy Relink.

Today Bandai Namco hosted a livestream from Japan showing off the first live gameplay of its upcoming 7 vs. 1 survival game Dragon Ball: The Breakers.

The game is played by comedian Eiko Kano and we get three different segments.

In the first, he plays a survivor, then he tries his hand at playing the raider (Cell), and lastly, he plays the Oolong-like survivor.

Together with the previous video breaking down the gameplay mechanics, this should provide you with a good idea of what the game is like.

You can see all three segments below.

Those on the hunt for a deep and tactical RPG experience may have their scratches itched by developer Animmal’s (sic) upcoming RPG, The Way of Wrath.

Scheduled to arrive on PC and Nintendo Switch sometime in 2022, the indie studio has confirmed that publishing duties will be handled by Texas-based publisher Hooded Horse.

Accompanying the news is a new video shedding light on the moment-to-moment gameplay fans can expect from the mythological RPG experience. Go ahead and check it out below:

As you can see in the footage above, The Way of Wrath looks set to be a similar experience to Stoic Studio’s narrative-driven turn-based RPG, The Banner Saga.

Set during the Bronze age, combat appears to be fairly dynamic, and the story allegedly unfolds in a non-linear fashion. Additionally, players will have to make various choices that impact the world around them, and potentially cause different repercussions.

Rounding out the package is a fort management system where players can build traps and their very own siege equipment, as well as craft new weapons and equipment.

Today Arc System Works announced the release date of the Nintendo Switch version of “Kunio-kun no Sangokushida Yo Zen’in Shugo!” which translates as “It’s Kunio-kun Three Kingdoms: Everyone Gathered!”

The game will launch in Japan on December 16, but only on Nintendo’s hybrid console. PS4 and PC versions ares also planned, but that’s coming in April 2022.

To show what Kunio-kun no Sangokushida Yo Zen’in Shugo! is all about (basically, it does what it says on the tin, transporting the characters of the beloved Kunio-kun franchise to the Three Kingdoms setting), we also get an extensive gameplay trailer.

You can enjoy it below. If you want to see more, you can also watch the previous trailer alongside more screenshots and details.

Incidentally, we also learn that the game includes a bonus pure beat ’em up mode that can be played in 4-player co-op. Players can decide whether to activate or deactivate friendly fire.

Today Sega and Creative Assembly released another brand new trailer of the upcoming strategy game Total War: Warhammer III.

This trailer showcases the gameplay of the Nurgle chaos faction, providing an even better look at the units compared to the previous CGI cinematic trailer and the second in-engine trailer.

We also take a look at the forces of Slaanesh, but they pretty much serve only as victims for the pestilent followers of Nurgle.

You can check it out below, alongside a rundown of the Nurgle faction from Creative Assembly.

Ku’gath Plaguefather – Nurgle Legendary Lord

Ku’gath Plaguefather, the Rotting Poxmaker, is the most favoured of Nurgle’s chosen. Fascinated by the breeding of new contagions, he frequently forays into the mortal realms to test fresh creations on the battlefield, driven by a desire to concoct the perfect plague capable of infecting even the gods themselves.

Third-party developers have shared news and new assets about upcoming aircraft and scenery add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

We start with SimWorks Studios, which announced a release date and pricing information for the Daher Kodiak.

Barring any unforeseen issue, it’ll release on Friday, December 17 on third-party stores. It’ll also release on the official marketplace for both PC and Xbox, but a date for that isn’t predictable. It’ll cost 29.99€ on SWS’s own store and a bit higher on other stores.

The amphibian version is being worked on and it’ll release as an additional package at a later date for 14.99€.

I can understand how a developer may feel conflicted when fans of a franchise ask for a game that is both a faithful remake to fuel nostalgia and be a fresh, modern experience. It’s a tough balance. ILCA, the developer of Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, attempted to find this balance, but ultimately ended up playing on the safe side.

The games are a faithful remake, for better or for worse. If you cried “Sinnoh confirmed!” all these years wanting a true remake with a fresh coat of paint and quality of life improvements, you got your wish.

If you were hoping that ILCA would have greater ambition when developing a Pokemon game than Game Freak has had in the past few generations, I’m sorry to say that Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl don’t quite reach those heights.

Today Kadokawa Games updated the official site of the upcoming mecha strategy JRPG Relayer, publishing plenty of new screenshots and art.

We get to take a look at the skill trees for the twenty jobs available depending on the four classes of mecha characters can pilot. In case you missed the breakdown of the jobs, you can find them in our previous article.

In the gallery below you’ll see the skill trees (or constellations, I guess) for Assault jobs in red (Fighter, Vanguard, Shinobi, Braver, and Ninja), Tank jobs in green (Knight, Paladin, Commander, Guardian, and Breaker), Sniper jobs in blue (Shooter, Backs, Gunner, Marksman, and Ace Shooter), and Scout jobs in purple (Wizard, Enchanter, Jammer, Wiseman, and Trickster).

We also get to see four Stella Gear that weren’t showcased before.

• Name: Tenbu
• Type: Sniper
• Stats
  • Armor B
  • Mobility A
  • Firepower S
  • Melee C
  • Electronic Warfare B

Tenbu is the original Stella Gear that Himiko boarded after stealing it. Its name derives from Emperor Tenmu, who built the first astronomical observatory in Japan.

• Name: Quadriga
• Type: Scout
• Stats
  • Armor B
  • Mobility A
  • Firepower A
  • Melee C
  • Electronic Warfare S

Quadriga is Saturn’s Stella Gear, belonging to GT Labo’s technology department. The name comes from the Roman chariot drawn by four horses, which the god of farming Saturn used to ride.

Muv-Luv publisher anchor provided an update about the localization of the visual novel Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse.

Translation has been completed and editing is in progress, confirming the winter release that was initially announced. The lack of delays is certainly a rather rare occurrence for the franchise, so fans have reason to celebrate.

If you’re unfamiliar with Total Eclipse, its story is set in Alaska, in a similar timeframe as Muv-Luv Alternative and it’s one of the most broadly known parts of the multifaceted Muv-Luv universe.

Besides the original light novel series from 2007 and the visual novel that is now coming west (launched in 2013 for PS3 and Xbox 360 and in 2014 for PC), it was the subject of the first Muv-Luv anime series, aired in 2012.

You can find the announcement below. The game will release on Steam.

Today Koei Tecmo released a new trailer of the upcoming JRPG  Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream.

This time around, the trailer introduces Ramizel Erlenmeyer, following the one that showcased Sophie herself, and the one focusing on Plachta.

She’s voiced by Rie Takahashi, whom you may know for her roles as Megumin in KonoSuba, Emilia in Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World, Hu Tao in Genshin Impact, and many more roles.

You can check the video out below, alongside a blurb officially describing Ramizel.

“The mediator for the people living in Erde Wiege.

Everyone depends on her with her cheerful smile and calm nature.

In addition, she has a strong sense of justice and a dynamic personality, which more often than not leads her to fighting monsters with her strength.

She meets Sophie and Plachta, who are alchemists like her, and watches over them as they grow.”

Ever wanted to show off your musical skills through the medium of video games? Well, it’s time to do just that in Bad Dream Games‘ artsy voice-powered puzzler, One Hand Clapping.

That’s right, today we finally received word of a release date for the much anticipated indie title on consoles and mobile. Yes, One Hand Clapping is now scheduled to launch on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, iOS, Android, and Stadia on Dec. 14.

To confirm the new release date, the Los Angeles-based studio dropped a short teaser to share the news. Go ahead and check it out below:

As you can see in the footage above, One Hand Clapping has won a multitude of awards leading up to its full-fledged release, many of which are thanks to the sheer creativity of the title.

You see, One Hand Clapping tasks players to solve platforming puzzles by “singing or humming” into their microphones. In other words, the pitch and intensity of your singing voice affects the height and gradient of the platform you’re walking on, and you’ll have to maneuverer your way through a variety of different environments.

A new update has just been rolled out for multiplayer survive-’em-up, Rust: Console Edition, and it’s available to download now on PS4 and Xbox One.

Specifically, the new patch – officially dubbed Update 1.20 Devastation Unleashed – adds a bunch of quality of life improvements, bug fixes, and even some new features to the first-person open-world survival experience.

The most meaningful addition is a new Tech tree, which players can use to spend scrap and unlock different branches and abilities without having to rely on random blueprints anymore. All blueprints will be wiped from servers when the new Tech tree is live.

Additionally, there’ll be new gestures, new ways to build, much larger map seeds, improved gun handling, performance optimizations, and even a brand new Combat knife.

The original PC iteration was developed by indie outfit Facepunch Studios, and was released into Steam Early Access back in 2013. Rust then received a port to consoles from UK studio Double Eleven earlier this year, and it’s fast become a popular multiplayer survival title on both PC and console platforms.

For the full breakdown of the latest update’s patch notes, see below:

New additions to the game:

– Tech tree.

– 3KM maps.

– Gestures.

– Building Blocks.

– Map visual changes.

– New Item: Combat Knife.

Changes:

– Power substations no longer irradiate players.

Yesterday, Aquaplus revealed the upcoming Utawarerumono game “Monochrome Mobius: Toki no Taika” and today you can take a look at the game in motion.

The video, which you can see below from the recording of the reveal livestream, shows off plenty of aspects of the upcoming game, including the opening cutscene, gameplay, and extensive dialogue scenes.

It certainly appears to be a new route for the Utawarerumono series, and it definitely looks fetching.

Incidentally, no platforms have been revealed just yet for the game, which will release next year in Japan. The title translates as “Monochrome Mobius: Atonement of Time.”

Its release will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the series, which debuted in 2002 with the first Utawarerumono.

Incidentally, an anime series has also been revealed, titled Utawarerumono: The Two White Emperors. It’ll air in Japan in July 2022 delivering a neat one-two punch for the series.

Today Nexon released a brand new trailer of the upcoming fighting game DNF Duel, the upcoming fighting game of the Dungeon Fighter franchise (also known as Dungeon & Fighter in Korea).

The trailer focuses on one of the available characters, the Berserker, showing off his gameplay in action.

It certainly will probe rather familiar to fans of Arc System Works’ games. This shouldn’t be surprise since Nexon hired the popular Japanese fighting game developer to create the game.

You can check it out and see for yourself below.

Dungeon Fighter Online is quite popular worldwide (admittedly a lot more in Asia than in the west) and the game has social media accounts in English, so we might certainly expect a western release.

Dungeon Fighter Online is one of the most played games in the world if you look at actual revenue, so it was pretty much a matter of time for it to expand to other genres and markets.

At the moment, no platforms or release windows have been announced for DNF Duel, so we’ll have to wait for further information on that front.

Today Spike Chunsoft released a new key artwork for its upcoming game AI: The Somnium Files – nirvanA Initiative.

The artwork has been designed by Yusuke Kozaki, the character designer of the series. If you’re unfamiliar with the name, he’s well-known for his work on No More Heroes, Demon X Machina, a bunch of Fire Emblem games, and more.

Of course, the game is a follow-up of the 2019 game AI: The Somnium FIles by Kotaro Uchikishi of Zero Escape fame.

You can check out the new art below.

Koei Tecmo announced today that Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires is going to receive a playable demo in Japan.

The demo will be delivered at a yet unannounced date for PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Apparently, PC users won’t get one. No info has been revealed, for now, about a western release of the demo.

Incidentally, character customization data from the demo will be available for transfer to the finished version of the game.

We also learn new information about the game itself, which will come with special playable scenarios including the Yellow Turban Rebellion or the Battle of Red Cliffs. Meeting certain conditions in these scenarios will trigger historical battles.

Some additional scenarios will be included in the Deluxe and Digital Deluxe Editions only.

There’s no set way to win the game. You can try to unify the world while making sure that all warlords survive, or create your ideal country with your favorite ones. The outcome depends on your playstyles and you can earn titles depending on six fame parameters. Those titles affect your compatibility between various warlords, and events will branch depend on whether you play good or evil.

The game portrays human drama among heroes of the Three Kingdom. If you can create a strong bond with them, you can get married or form a bond of brotherhood.

You can have a child with your spouse and register it as a custom character with a blood relation with your existing one. You can then also play the game again with your son or daughter as the protagonist.

Below you can check out the new screenshots.

Today Azur Lane publisher Yostar launched the latest major event within the popular mobile game, a collaboration with the anime SSSS. Gridman and SSSS. Dynazenon.

The collaboration turns the anime’s heroines into shipgirls, and more specifically, you can expect the following:

• Rikka Takarada: Super Rare Light Cruiser
• Akane Shinjou: Super Rare Battleship
• Yume Minami: Super Rare Heavy Cruiser
• Chise Asukagawa: Super Rare Aircraft Carrier
• Mujina: Elite Battleship
• Namiko: Elite Heavy Cruiser
• Hass: Elite Light Cruiser

Skins for all have also been made available, on top of two for Bremerton and Independence. The skin for Rikka Takarada, Akane Shinjou, and Yume Minami are rentable, while Mujina and Chise Asukagawa will be available simply by accumulating points as usual.

The event will be available until December 8.

You can check out the trailer showing all the content below.

If you’re unfamiliar with Azur Lane, it’s is a free-to-play mobile horizontal scrolling shooter/RPG hybrid currently available for iOS and Android.

Today third-party developers had quite a few interesting reveals and releases in store for Microsoft Flight Simulator scenery add-ons in Asia.

We start with a release, and it’s Kikai Airport (RJKI) in Japan by Simulación Extrema. As one of the small airports in the Japanese southern island, it’s enriched by beautiful surroundings and scenic approaches.

It’s also interesting as it’s just a short hop away (operated by Japan Air Commuter’s ATR 42’s) from the nearby Amami Airport, available from the same developer.

This one can be purchased only on the official marketplace for both PC and Xbox for roughly $11 plus applicable VAT.

If you’ve ever wanted to run your very own dinosaur-centric theme park, then Jurassic World Evolution 2 is likely the game for you. Yes, Frontier Developments’ build-’em-up sim came out earlier this month for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC, and to commemorate its release, the UK-based studio has launched a brand new accolades trailer.

Feel free to check what the critics are saying about Jurassic World Evolution 2 in the new video below:

Sitting pretty with a ‘Generally Favorable’ critical rating of 80 on Metacritic (from 20 PS5 reviews), Jurassic World Evolution 2 has clearly resonated fairly well with critics.

Of course, Jurassic World Evolution 2 has built upon the groundwork laid before it by its 2018 predecessor. Chiefly, the game has added plenty of new modes and extra content compared to its forebear.

Today Cloud Imperium Games revealed a brand new ship already flyable in the growing space simulator Star Citizen.

The ship is the Argo RAFT, which stands for “Reinforced Advanced Freight Transport.” Fancy acronyms aside, it’s basically your big space truck.

While it’s nearly unarmed, it’s well-armored, which should give it a chance when attacked out in space. With 96 SCU of cargo in three containers, it isn’t massive, but it can get you started on trading.

It also looks rather cool, as you can see in the video and images below. It’s also available for purchase starting at $110. It’s worth mentioning that purchasing ships with real money isn’t required and that all ships are available for purchase using in-game credits soon after they’re made flyable. The option should be considered only if you care to support the development of the game.

Do keep in mind that you don’t need to spend any money (real or virtual) to try it (and most ships available currently in Star Citizen). A Free Fly event is going on until December 1, granting everyone access to the game and its ships at no cost.

As a bonus, you can also check out videos of the days dedicated to Crusader, Tumbril, and Origin, on top of a look at the most relevant feature of the Crusader Ares Inferno, in case you missed them.

DMM and Koei Tecmo released a new trailer introducing a character that will appear in their upcoming Musou game Touken Ranbu Warriors.

We get to take a look at Ichigo Hitofuri, briefly taking a look at both gameplay and cutscenes. It’s the latest of a series of trailers introducing several characters.

You can check him out below.

Here’s how Koei Tecmo officially describes the game:

Even though the main attraction in Marvel movies often tends to be the scene-stealing superheroes and scenery-chewing villains, there’s a lot to be said for the stoic side characters who do a lot of the heavy lifting behind the scenes.

Indeed, it’s fair to say that Marvel has done a fantastic job creating a universe brimming with compelling supporting roles, who may not necessarily hog the limelight, but are incredibly important and valuable all the same.

With that in mind, then, we thought now would be a good time to celebrate those key side characters who may not get all the glory, but are nevertheless lodged deep within our hearts.

So, without further ado, come join us in Twinfinite’s latest movie quiz, as we challenge you to name all ten of these Marvel side characters from just a single image. Let’s get into it, shall we?

Developer Owlcat Games and publisher META Publishing have officially launched a duo of DLC packs today for their isometric CRPG, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. The best part? Both are completely free, and are available to download now.

If you’re wondering what’ll be included in the two new pieces of DLC, worry not, as we’ll dissect what’s included in the new freebies below.

Up first, we have the ‘Faces of War’ DLC, which adds some customization options for your party’s characters. You’ll be granted access to, “[…] a couple of new portraits, new hairstyles, war paints, hair colors,” which’ll, “[…] expand the rich possibilities for character customization.”

In addition, players will now be able to zoom in on their character in the menu to check out all the wee details of their party members.

Koei Tecmo and Gust recently released Blue Reflection: Second Light and we can celebrate the launch together with a brand new giveaway.

EA DICE has officially rolled out the second update to Battlefield 2042, and it’s available to download now for consoles and PC.

Chief amongst the new additions are a few critical bug fixes that prevented a “consistent gameplay experience,” for some users who may’ve been experiencing issues relating to not being able to get revived by allies.

Additionally, the freshly deployed update adds a bunch of balancing tweaks specifically for vehicles and a number of weapons.

The LCAA Hovercraft, MD540 Nightbird, KA-520 Super Hokum and AH-64GX Apache Warchief have been adjusted to “bring them more in line with other vehicles” in the game. And from a weapon perspective, the PP-29’s recoil has been increased slightly, and most weapons have received a tweak to make for “more consistent bullet spread”.

In the Swedish studio’s recent blog post outlining the new patch, the team also teased what’s next in their upcoming third update, which’ll allegedly be the developer’s “biggest update so far.”

Specifically, the third update will focus primarily on improving the title’s performance and bringing a myriad of quality-of-life improvements to the online-centric military first-person shooter.

Our very own Ed McGlone reviewed Battlefield 2042 and loved his time with the game, ultimately awarding it a 4.5/5, concluding:

Following the reveal on Famitsu a few hours ago, Compile Heart released the first trailer of its upcoming JRPG Hyperdimension Neptunia: Sisters vs Sisters.

We already know that the game is a spin-off of the Hyperdimension Neptunia server coming to PS5 and PS4 in Japan on April 21, 2022. 

It’ll focus on Nepgear, Uni, Ram, and Rom, younger sisters of Neptune, Noire, and Blanc and it’ll be an action JRPG:

The four protagonists will have to fight their way through a world infested by smartphones, which is certainly a rather appropriate backstory, given the current situation of the Japanese gaming industry. You can find all the relevant details in our previous article.

You can watch the new trailer below, alongside the first batch of artwork and screenshots. Incidentally, the trailer reveals the first gameplay, which is always nice.

Today SNK released a new trailer and screenshots showcasing another fighter that will be playable in its upcoming fighting game The King of Fighters XV.

This time around we get to see another returning character, Ángel, who is back after appearing in The King of Fighters XIV as well.

You can check out the trailer just below and see Whip in action alongside a few screenshots from the press release.

While the spooky season has officially shifted to the festive season, there’s never a bad time to get your creep on. And for all you gore-hounds, there’s thankfully a brand new psychological horror game to keep your eye on. Indeed, developer LKA and publisher Wired Productions have announced their first-person paranormal chiller, Martha Is Dead, will be launching on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on Feb. 24.

Accompanying the announcement is a fresh teaser to whet your appetite. Go ahead and check it out below:

In the video, we see what appear to be a pair of twins, reciting the nursery rhyme: ‘Eeny, meeny, miny, moe’. However, the girl on the right’s lips are sewn shut, and intermittent footage of a mysterious coffin flashes up occasionally. Pretty creepy, right?

The Italian indie studio is best-known for its work on another horror title; specifically, 2017’s The Town of Light.

Today Sega and Creative Assembly released another brand new trailer of the upcoming strategy game Total War: Warhammer III.

This time around we get an in-engine trailer focusing on the Nurgle chaos faction, providing a better look at the units compared to the previous CGI cinematic trailer.

You can check it out below, alongside a rundown of the faction Creative Assembly.

Ku’gath Plaguefather – Nurgle Legendary Lord

Ku’gath Plaguefather, the Rotting Poxmaker, is the most favoured of Nurgle’s chosen. Fascinated by the breeding of new contagions, he frequently forays into the mortal realms to test fresh creations on the battlefield, driven by a desire to concoct the perfect plague capable of infecting even the gods themselves.

Ever since it began back in 2007, The Big Bang Theory has been responsible for so many laughs and emotional moments. Whether it’s the relationship between Penny and Leonard or Sheldon’s oddball jokes, fans still consider this show one of the best sitcoms ever created.

To celebrate the show and its fandom, we’ve come up with a quiz that will show just which of the main characters from The Big Bang Theory fans are most like. Will you end up as the straight-laced one that holds them together? Or maybe you’re the dorky, yet charming nerd that everyone can’t help but love.

Well, let’s not wait any longer to find out! And don’t forget to let us know what your results are in the comment section below.

Today third-party developers had quite a few interesting add-on reveals and releases in store for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

We start with popular freeware and open-source developer FlyByWire, which released a video of its A32NX Airbus A320 Neo mod (which recently merged its custom flight plan manager into the development version).

A new video shows a much-requested feature, holding patterns and entries, which will be added soon.

Next, we move on to new screenshots of the upcoming Mackay Airport (YBMK) in North Queensland, Australia, revealed by Orbx.

Ubisoft is continuing to roll out trailers and build some excitement for the newest season of Rainbow Six Siege: High Calibre. The new Siege Operator, Thorn, will make her way to the game when the update goes live on Nov. 30, but until then, you can watch this new animated trailer.

There isn’t any gameplay here, but the video builds a bit of a story and clearly shows Thorn’s personality as she takes on Sledge one-on-one in a training exercise. Thorn mentions growing up with four brothers and having to fight, so this sparring match between her and Sledge is an interesting and entertaining one.

You can have a look at the trailer below to see Thron and Sledge go at it in hand-to-hand combat:

If you’re looking to see what Thorn can do in-game, check out her Siege reveal trailers and gameplay breakdown from earlier this month. Her Razorbloom Shell gadget is nothing to mess with. Additionally, the Outback map is getting a rework for the upcoming High Calibre season as well.

Today’s issue of Weekly Famitsu revealed a brand new Hypedimension Neptunia game titled Hyperdimension Neptunia: Sisters vs Sisters with the first screenshots and details.

The game is coming to PS5 and PS4 and will release in Japan on April 21, 2022. Compile Heart also revealed that development is currently 70% complete.

It’s a JRPG focusing on Nepgear, Uni, Ram, and Rom, younger sisters of Neptune, Noire, and Blanc. It’s also described as another spin-off game for the series.

The story will prove hilariously familiar to many JRPG fans annoyed by a certain semi-recent gaming trend.

The CPU candidates wake up after having been in a deep slumber for two years. The world has been invaded by smartphones and everyone has the latest model named “Magiphone.”

This has started the “Buzzle” phenomenon, triggering an invasion of monsters in Planeptune, while the older sisters seem to have disappeared.

This is a story of destruction and rebirth for the Goddesses raising from despair to a future of hope.

As usual, the storytelling is done with a visual novel-like portion of the game with 2D illustrations, while the 3D models have been redesigned. It’s an “evolved form” from previous Neptunia games.

Battles are fought in real-time with three characters in the party. You control one and the other two are controlled by the AI, but you can switch at any time.

10. Brock

It’s a bit weird to say that Brock is one of the toughest Gym Leaders since he’s the first Gym battle in the very first Pokemon games. But depending on which starter you choose, those Rock/Ground-types can absolutely crush you.

Good luck to all the Charmander owners in the original Red and Blue because that Pokemon is not budging Brock’s Geodude, Onix, and his five Full Heals. You could catch a Caterpie or Nidoran and grind to level up high enough to overcome the challenge, but that would take forever against the low-level Pokemon found just before his Pewter City Gym.

The far easier solution here is to pick Squirtle or Bulbasaur in the original games. To those who stuck it out and persevered, I salute you and your soon-to-be Charizard for your bravery.

The post 10 Hardest Pokemon Gym Leaders, Ranked from Hard to GameBoy Out the Window appeared first on Twinfinite.

Adult Swim has revealed that sci-fi fans are going to get yet another feast the day after Thanksgiving, though this one will be for the eyes. As part of a showcase that starts on Friday at 11:00 pm and ends at 4:30 am, Toonami is going to air a Blade Runner Marathon.

This Adult Swim Marathon includes Blade Runner 2049, Black Out 2022 (short), and the first three episodes of the new anime, Blade Runner: Black Lotus.

• 11:00 pm to 11:15 pm – Blackout 2022 (short)
• 11:15 pm to 3:00 am – Blade Runner 2049
• 3:00 am to 4:30 am – Blade Runner: Black Lotus (3 Episodes)

While fans of the series have obviously heard of the sequel, this marathon will give a lot of viewers a first look at the 2017 short that was filmed as a tie-in between movies, as well as an introduction to the current anime that Adult Swim has been airing each week.

Today Bushiroad announced the release date of its upcoming game dedicated to the popular manga and anime series Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid.

The game, which was announced back in September as ”Kobayashi-san Chi no Meidoragon Sakuretsu!! Chorogon Breath” (which translates into “Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid Explosion!! Chorogon Breath), will launch in Japan on March 24, 2022, for PS4 and Nintendo Switch.

It’s a shoot ’em up developed by Kaminari Games that lets you play as Thor, Kanna, or Elma and fight your way through vertically-scrolling stages while destroying enemies with long-range and melee attacks.

At the moment, a western release has not been announced just yet.

If you’re unfamiliar with Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid, it debuted as a manga in 2013 by Coolkyousinnjya, also spawning several spin-offs.

The manga’s success was consecrated in 2017 with the first anime series, while a second was aired just a few months ago n the summer.

An official website is currently available in Japanese.

Of course, you can expect further news here on Twinfinite if anyone announces a western release.

Epic Games has revealed its plans for the grand finale of Fortnite’s Chapter 2 season of content, and boy does it look suitably grand in its trailer today.

An accompanying blog post over on Epic’s website offers a more detailed overview of what we can expect:

With The Convergence complete, The Cube Queen prepares her endgame for the Island and nothing will ever be the same. Grab your weapons and fight the ultimate destroyer of all reality.  Join “The End,” a one-time only, in-game event and battle for your legacy.

“The End” marks the finale of Fortnite Chapter 2. This climatic event takes place on December 4 at 4 PM ET as players take on The Cube Queen in one last stand for the fate of the Island. 

Squad up with your friends and players around the world to take on the Sideways corruption. “The End” supports large parties of up to 16 players queued together, so bring the whole squad along. Be sure to log in early — ‘The End’ playlist will be available in Fortnite 30 minutes prior to the start time for players to jump in.

“The End” is a one-time only, in-game event. Content creators and players looking to relive the final moments of Fortnite Chapter 2 should take steps to record and archive their experience as replays will not be available. Players will be unable to edit their settings once “The End” begins, so please adjust any visual options to your preferred viewing experience before joining. Because the Season will end a day early, all players who log in before the end of the Season will receive a 225,000 XP reward.  

To immortalize “The End,” players who fight back The Cube Queen by attending “The End” will unlock a special Loading Screen and Wrap!
