Ubisoft announces the next beta for The Division Resurgence
After the previous regional beta that ran throughout the past June and July, Ubisoft is back with the next chance for fans to experience the fun early in The Division Resurgence. The upcoming beta will start on November 16th, and give you a chance to get involved in a huge range of content. This beta will allow players to tackle Resurgences’ story, taking you up to the Campaigns Main Mission 8, enough time to get to grips with the specializations and weapons on offer.

It isn’t just the story you can engage with, as you can also enter the series' iconic endgame area.…
Relive a 2005 legend on your iPhone as Resident Evil 4 gets a release date
After recently welcoming the Game of the Year Resident Evil Village, iPhone wielders will be able to enjoy another GOTY-winning behemoth of the franchise next month, as Resident Evil 4 has a launch date. Gamers can get their hands on one of the series' best titles from December 20h. Resident Evil 4 was a marked departure from the first three in the series, trading the slower more tension-fueled survival aspects in for a more action-packed, and perhaps most noticeable a much more dynamic camera system. Whilst this was quite a brave move by Capcom, it paid off in the form of numerous Game of the Year nods as well as a raft of other wins and nominations, in addition to infamously the worst vid…

Marvel Contest of Champions celebrates National Native American Heritage Month with two new heroes
We are currently underway in this year's National Native American Heritage Month, and Kabam alongside Marve are marking the occasion with two new fighters entering the Contest of Champions. Apache warrior Kushala will be joined by Kabam's first original character, the First Nations hero Chee’ilth. An ancient and powerful enemy has come to The Contest and threatens to destroy the entire multiverse.

Seven Knights Idle Adventure introduces one of the Four Lords to its roster
Netmarble has announced the release of a new legendary hero for Seven Knights Idle Adventure, who is sure to send a chill down the spine of any PS2-era hack-and-slash fans. Lu Bu has arrived, and will no doubt tear through the battlefield leaving many more players scared by his indomitable strength. In the Seven Knights universe, Lu Bu is one of the Four Lords alongside Rin, Sun Wukong, and Ace. Known as the Invincible, he is in fact a Defensive hero, a surprise to any victims of his very attack-heavy Dynasty Warrior rampages. Living up to his lofty title, he looks to be a truly awesome character. As a start, Lu Bu comes equipped with a debuff skill that lowers his foes' defenses, so your…
Apple Arcade will welcome a brand new adventure for Segas iconic mascot in Sonic Dream Team
At the risk of upsetting the almighty gods of gaming, and probably 70% of readers, I have always preferred Sonic to Mario, so the recent resurgence of the speedy blue Sega mascot has been most welcome. Luckily for Apple users, the storied series will arrive on Apple Arcade on December 5th with Sonic Dream Team. The malevolent Dr Eggman is up to his old tricks and has stumbled upon The Reverie, a mysterious device that has the power to manifest dreams in the real world. As can be expected, no one wants this, so it is up to Sonic and his marginally less rapid friends to navigate the twisted realities of Dr Eggman’s mind and end his plans for world domination. You aren't locked into pla…
Dragongeir: Silent Gods begins a two-year collaboration with a titan of gaming entertainment
It feels like Dungeons and Dragons hasn’t been more popular, thanks to the recent movie, ongoing web series from the likes of Smosh, Dimension 20, Critical Role, and, of course, Baldurs Gate 3, and now to carry on the hype for mobile players, Dragonheir: Silent Gods will be kicking off a collaboration with the tabletop giant from November 17th. This isn’t just a one-way transaction mind.

Square Enix releases trailer and announces closed beta for GPS Action Kingdom Hearts Missing Link
One of the biggest mobile gaming losses we faced was when Square Enix closed down Kingdom Hearts Union X, or Dark Road, however, now we have a chance to fill that hole, as Square has released a whole dump of announcements for the upcoming Kingdom Hearts Missing Link. The new trailer gives us quite a big look into this new world, with a few clips showing us how the GPS action will work. Something interesting to note is the caption that says “Travel the world without stepping outside”, so even though you need location services turned on to play, you might still be able to enjoy a lot of content from your couch. Gameplay-wise, there seems to be the usual Kingdom Hearts fare, with…
State of Survival crosses over with the grandfather of Zombie survival franchises in latest collaboration
According to Benjamin Franklin, the only things certain in this universe are death and taxes. However, we gamers know of a third; at some point, every zombie game will collaborate with the great Resident Evil series, and now is the turn of FunPlus’ State of Survival. Having arrived just in time for Halloween, the first part of this collaboration brings the world of Resident Evil Village to the game, with the indomitable Lady Dimitrescu.

The night of a thousand pumpkins is almost upon us, and Netmarble has snuck in a Halloween event for its MMORPG Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds.

In a piece of good news for fans of foxes and Maegu, Black Desert Mobile has announced the arrival of Maegus’ Awakening class. After mastering the use of her Foxspirit Charm, she can freely channel her innate powers of the Fox Goddess to become the fan-wielding Hwaryeong.

Gothic demon collector My Lovely Wife releases on the App Store
Neon Doctrine and GameChanger Studio announced the release of their gothic creature collector, My Lovely Wife, during The Indie Horror Showcase this year. An intriguing mix of dating sim, management and alchemy, it has what has to be one of the most intriguing concepts I have seen in a while. You take control of a budding alchemist named Jake who gains the knowledge to summon demonic entities to do his bidding, primarily through working in the shop and whatnot using the game's management mechanics. Each demon has its own stats which affects how much gold they earn. The better you do, the more your whole town upgrades and you might just find love in the process. Sounds nice right? Well give…
Celebrate the Halloween season a little differently with Vampire Survivors
For a horror-themed game, it might be difficult to decide how to celebrate the Halloween holiday, but this year Vampire Survivors has quite the novel solution. They are absolutely ignoring the spooky season and instead starting Christmas early with the release of its Whiteout update. Vampire Survivors is a multi-BAFTA winner that touts itself as a “be the bullet hell” game, where you face wave after wave of monsters for you to mow down. Each stage gives you the chance to select a new weapon or power-up going forward, with the goal of surviving as long as you can. You will fall, but you can still try to take everyone down with you. Whiteout will bring a host of new content with…
