Take a journey into the past and explore the origins of Teppen
It is time to peel back the curtain and take a look into the past of Teppen with the new card pack Demon Dogfight. Bringing in reinforcements from Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak and Darkstalkers, you will find yourself ankle-deep in a war to gain control of the ultimate power. One hundred years prior to the world of Teppen that we know, a Forbidden Fruit suddenly appeared under the light of a red moon, bestowing overwhelming power to those who held it. Of course, this caused wars, with the demons from Darkstalkers recruiting allies from the Monster Hunter series to their side, for earth-shattering battles. In a bid to protect the source of this power, Shiranui from Okami wades into the fray.…
Prepare to rampage through the world in style with upcoming Dead Cells update
It is not a secret that some of the enemies in Dead Cells can be particularly dishevelled-looking, so why not give them a hand? Released on PC and coming to mobile games soon, the Clean Cut update gives you the tools you need to become the world's most violent hair stylist. Sweeney Todd will be taking notes, as you will be able to pick up two brand new weapons, starting with the Sewing Scissors. A Survival weapon, unfortunately, this massive pair of cutting utensils has the ability to instantly dispatch all enemies it touches provided that one of them will fall by the attack’s standard damage. The Giant Comb, a rather ridiculous-sounding weapon, is a weapon that somehow scales on Bru…

Mobile's most downloaded game gets a new sibling with Subway Surfers Blast
Subway Surfers are one of those games that no matter who you are, you have heard of it, either through virtue of it being the most downloaded mobile game or being in the background of every other social media video.

Before you start to worry, bringing in Outplay is a very positive move, as they have a pretty successful background in puzzle games. Its stand out is probably Gordon Ramsay’s Chef Blast, which picked up Best Puzzle Game at the 2022 TIGA…

Have you ever looked at golf and thought “I wish I had an overwhelming fear of being eaten by space aliens as I play this”?
