FunPlus drops a new trailer for DC: Dark Legion showcasing more of the nefarious Batman Who Laughs
It has been almost a year since the Official Teaser Trailer for DC: Dark Legion dropped, and quite frankly I had forgotten it was a thing. Now, however, FunPlus is pushing their upcoming strategy game back into the limelight, with a new teaser trailer, and it looks quite enticing, to say the least. At this point, it is fairly obvious that The Batman Who Laughs is going to be the main villain of the story, and for good reason. If you haven’t seen much of this character, I heartily recommend you do, at least his origin. It is a character with the intellect and resources of Batman and the insanity of the Joker. It’s going to be a tough battle. Unfortunately, things keep getting wo…
Continue the story of Leon and Ethan as the latest titles from Capcom’s hit survival horror series prepare to launch on Apple devices
Halloween has come early as Capcom announces the latest Resident Evil titles to shuffle their way onto iOS. We are going backwards, as Resident Evil 7 Biohazard has a release date of July 2nd, and there is also confirmation that Resident Evil 2 is in development. Even though it may be off in the distance, Resident Evil 2 coming to iOS is very exciting. It is one of the definitive PS1 games, and the remake, which is the version being ported, is excellent. With Resident Evil 4 already on iPhone, we can continue playing the Leon Kennedy saga on the go. To help with mobile controls, Resident Evil 7 biohazard will include a new Auto Fire feature. Simply aim at an enemy for a set amount of…
Honkai: Star Rail unveils a new trailer at Summer Game Fest that both delights and disappoints
To fill the void that E3 left, Geogg Keighley hosted the Summer Game Fest recently, and it was certainly a thing. As of right now, Keighley’s own Twix poll has the show at 40% Grade D and below, which is a whole other story altogether. Hoyoverse took part, and dropped a new trailer for Honkai: Star Rail, as well as a reveal rather in keeping with the whole show reception, at least in my opinion. Star Rail dropped a new trailer for this show, full of the reunion that a lot of fans were waiting for. Some of the trailer relies on knowledge of some spoiler-y reveals so bear that in mind. What we can say is that version 2.3, due June 19th, is the finale of the Penacony story. It centres ar…
Steady your breathing and zero your scope as Sniper Elite 4 is coming to iPhone and iPad
If your main concern when looking for a phone is gaming, then it is safe to say that Apple is making its mark in this sector. Bringing titles like Resident Evil 4 and Death Stranding to mobile is a big coup, and soon Rebellions’ Sniper Elite 4 will be joining that lineup. For those who don’t know Rebellion, they are one of the world's biggest independent video game developers, generally known for their shooters more than anything. They made the Zombie Army games, they popped out Strange Brigade a few years back which was briefly the game of the week, and, of course, the popular Sniper Elite series. Sniper Elite 4 places you in the midst of World War Two, in idyllic Italy in 194…
Marvel Snap invites a little bit of chaos into matches with latest set
In order to win in any form of card game you need to have a pretty solid strategy, but it seems with the June 2024 season, Marvel Snap is trying to ruin everyone's well-thought-out plans. How, you ask? Well, one of the locations and two cards in this Celestial’s Finest set seem intent on injecting a lot of randomness into proceedings. Let's start with the low-cost cards. Thena is a two-cost/one power who gains plus three power each turn if you've played exactly two cards, pretty niche. The three/three Phastos will give each card in your deck either minus one cost or plus two Power which is nice for the price. Finally, after a turn, the three/three Makkari will run from your hand to a…
Boxing Star gets an upgrade with what could be a game-changing buff system
Thumbage Co has announced that their sports simulator, Boxing Star, has received a few new updates. Promising pugilists are now able to train for some new buffs, repair equipment for nearly nothing, and even receive some neat gifts for simply showing up. Not a bad time to get into the ring. Getting right into the update that caught my eye the most; the Sparring System. You will now to able to undertake some training to gain buffs for both attack and defence characters. These will last for a set amount of time, and undergoing any form of sparring when this is active will cause it to be replaced, so no stacking. This does open up the game to quite a big degree and there are now a multitude o…
Capcom announces pre-registration for Monster Hunter Puzzles Felyne Isles
Back in the Nintendo 64 days, there was a puzzler called Pokemon Puzzle League, a fun romp through Kanto with a Tetris flavour. It was enjoyable, but the market is now oversaturated with IPs just cramming their own characters into puzzle games with zero meaningful mechanical changes, it's getting old. And now, thanks to the upcoming Monster Hunter Puzzles Felyne Isles, Capcom is adding another to the bloated pile. Felyne Isles follows the tale of one of Monster Hunter's adorable catty critters, the Felynes. Through the use of the classic match-3 mechanics, you will need to, you guessed it, make matches to clear the board. Combine the right things and you will find yourself surrounded by exp…
Warframe's final devstream before TennoCon delivers on the new Mission Type and character
TennoCon, Valhalla for all things Warframe, is coming up fast and Digital Extremes have recently released their last Devstream before the hallowed event. We got a new look at Warframe Jade’s upcoming abilities, the new mission type Ascension, and a breakdown of what to expect at the con. Jade is sitting firmly in the support camp of Warframes, requiring quite a high level of skill to play well. There is always a lot of action to track. She can sing a solo to buff damage or shield regen, inflict slow on foes, or unleash some heals. And, if you get too annoyed with enemies, unleash her ultimate to take to the skies and rain down holy hell. For those excited for a new mission type, we g…
Blue Archive goes supersonic with the release of two powerful new recruits

There is also a new guide task to tackle, resulting in quite a few nice goodies just for some daily missions.

We can all continue our journeys in New Eridu across whatever device we have at hand. Set in a post-apocalyptic urban environment, Zenless Zone Zero centres on a world devastated by Hollows. There is one last bastion of humanity; New Eridu. To lear…

Genshin Impact is making it a big two months with massive updates
It’s going to be a big two months for Genshin Impact fans, as HoYo lays out their upcoming new version and a monthly challenge domain. An Everlasting Dream Intertwined will land June 5th, and bring new characters, more secrets about Khaenri'ah, and the return of Travelers and Dainsleif. After you have raced through this new story it will soon be July 1st, which brings the debut of the Imaginarium Theater, a hidden chamber in the Mondstadt Library. At this point, the Spiral Abyss will also switch to a monthly cycle, resetting on the 16th. The Theatre has a variety of modes restricted to characters of certain elements and a limit to how many times they can fight. As you battle you will…
Earn ungodly power thanks to to mountain of Summon Coupons available during Ni No Kuni: Cross Worlds second Aniversary event
It has been two years since Netmarble released Ni No Kuni: Cross Worlds, and they have since steadfastly refused to release a single new class. To celebrate its second anniversary, Netmarble will continue this stubborn path, instead releasing special missions, a new foot race, and the chance to net over two thousand coupons. Until June 19th you can strap on those running shoes and take part in the 2nd anniversary Foot Race Sagartha.

Strive to survive in the unforgiving underground as Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York opens for pre-registration
In most video games that include vampires, they are usually portrayed as incredibly strong combatants, but that’s often all we get to see. If you want to dive into the, loosely used, real narrative behind the curse, The Masquerade series does this with aplomb, and now you can pre-register for the next chapter in the saga, with Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York. First released as a tabletop game in 1991, it would be fair to assume The Masquerade series came to most people's attention in 2004 with Bloodlines. Yes, Redemption did win an award, but to this day Bloodlines has a mass following as a narrative masterpiece thanks to its exquisite look into the daily lives of vampi…
