A max character level of 50, which will prepare players for the level 60 cap in Shadowlands.
Exile’s Reach, a complete overhaul of WoW’s new player experience with its own epic story, which introduces players to the game’s core elements.
Hundreds of new character customization options for all character races.
Item and stat level adjustments to support the new level caps.

This is not to be confused with the Shadowlands pre-launch event, which adds a new quest involving Sylvanas and The Scourge. That event will release closer to the yet-unannounced launch date for Shadowlands.
World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is the latest expansion to the long-running World of Warcraft MMO. It sees players travel to the Shadowlands, the afterlife of the world of Azeroth. It features a new covenant system, where players can ally with one of the four zones of the Shadowlands to help save them from the machinations of a being known only as “The Jailer”.

From what we gathered, the scenario is written by Fukami Makoto, while Iwamoto Tatsuro will take care of character designs. As the protagonist, whose gender can be selected, you have the ability to summon demons using your smartphone via the ‘Devil Downloader’ (Dx) app. As a member of the “Liberators,” a secret organization tasked with protecting the world, you are embroiled in a conflict between Dx2 users.

By going through “Aura Gates”, you will be exploring 3D dungeons where you will be encountering demons. The trademark demon negotiation and skill inheritance systems are intact will return. Combat will be somewhat different however, as you yourself will not participate in the battle. Instead, you will have four demons who will do your bidding.

With the Tokyo Game Show taking place next week, expect more details on the game.

Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader CRPG Announced

Games Workshop has announced the first Warhammer 40K CRPG, titled Rogue Trader and based on the RPG of the same name.

Details of the game are sparse- but based on the gameplay shown you’ll have some serious branching paths, as your character can walk the path of an Imperial Guard or even become a Rogue Trader as you adventure through the galaxy.

What we do know, though, is when the game launches it will be doing so for both PC and Consoles, though the specifics of that are also still being kept in the dark by Owlcat Games.
Here’s the description of the game, courtesy of Warhammer Community:

Embark on a journey to the dark reaches of the Imperium in Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, the first-ever cRPG set in the worlds of Warhammer, coming to PC and consoles. Award-winning developers Owlcat Games present an adventure full of fascinating characters, non-linear quests, and fateful decisions that will shape the outcome of your game.
Sadly, thanks to it being based on the Rogue Traders themselves, it looks like there won’t be any options to play as any of the other races in Warhammer 40K, though as previously mentioned it looks like you’ll have a wide array of Imperium picks..
Still, the trailer does show you’ll be meeting several of them- such as Eldar, Chaos and Necrons, if the stinger at the end of the trailer is anything to go by.
Like most CRPGs it looks like combat will be grid-based tactics, as you move your character akin to the Warhammer tabletop games.

Beelzebub and Narmaya now available in GBVS! [Granblue Fantasy: Versus]

DLC characters Beelzebub/Chaos Bringer and Narmaya are now available in the Japanese and Asian region versions of Granblue Fantasy: Versus/GBVS! The North American version of the game will also be receiving the DLC once the game goes live in their region.

With their release, this naturally means there will be two new playable characters! Even if you do not own the DLC, Narmaya will be available as an opponent in Arcade mode, so we can assume the rest of the character DLC pack will follow suit. New RPG mode quests, lobby avatars and titles come with the addition of the new characters.

Bug fixes have also arrived with the latest update, which Granblue_en has once again helpfully translated. We can presume the patch notes are available in English in-game, as well as to be on the official English website once it goes live in North America. If you haven’t seen them already, see Beelzebub’s and Narmaya’s trailers below:

The DLC includes the new in-game skin for Narmaya, and the release of the Astral Weapons in the main Granblue Fantasy.

Narmaya has a unique interaction when going against Gran, so do check it out for yourself! Considering Djeeta is basically the same as Gran, we might be seeing the same applied to her as well.
Other additional DLC includes System Voices in the playable character’s voices and Colour Packs. The System Voices also have unique lines depending on character, which is a nice touch. A sample can be heard in the official tweet:

新たなDLCコンテンツとして「カラーパック4～6」の3種と「システムボイスパック1～3」の3種、および「システムボイスパックセット」の配信を開始しました！公式HPに詳しくまとめていますので、ご購入の際お役立てください！ #GBVS #グラブルVS pic.twitter.com/THslQhCjW4

We’ll likely be seeing plenty of Beelzebub and Narmaya on the GBVS rank in the coming days, so why not join them?

PMCO SEA League 2019 – An interview with the Malaysia representatives (Team Secret, Yoodo Gank and Victorious In Play)

PMCO SEA League 2019 has gone live in China with 24 top PUBG Mobile teams from Southeast Asia competing for a ticket to the PMCO 2019 SEA League Grand Finals. A total of 5 teams including Team Secret, Yoodo Gank, Victorious In Play, Junior Talent and AROV Esports are representing Malaysia for the tournament. We are fortunate to have an interview with Team Secret, Yoodo Gank and Victorious In Play, so here is a compilation on the interviews.

Team Secret

Previously Team Genexus, the team has signed a contract under Team Secret after the Malaysia final of PMCO. As the contract is only signed last month, the team is yet to receive support for their eSports journey and many things are still in preparation including their training, which is 3 to 6 hours per day.

From left to right: Stewart9k (Sniper), BiuBiu (Captain), Alex (Rusher), SinB (Support)
We asked whether their family support them to become professional eSports players, all the Team Secret members tell us that their family understands their decisions and have found a way to help them chase their dreams. BiuBiu also shared his thoughts about the eSports industry in Malaysia, saying that eSports in Malaysia has been improving a lot these few years with a lot of tournaments being held every month.
Yoodo GANK

All the team members in Yoodo GANK are currently working, so their training times are only about 3 hours per day after work. Most of their families are supportive of what they are persuading, while JimBoy’s family couldn’t understand him yet. However, JimBoy tells us that he will try his best to make his family proud of him.

From left to right: Draxx (Carry), ManParang (Captain), JimBoy (Flanker), GeeK(Support)
On their thoughts about the eSports industry in Malaysia, they could see that Malaysia is making a lot of effort to improve eSports as the Ministry of Youth and Sports even have plans to train future Malaysia eSports representatives. They also hope that the internet speed and coverage in Malaysia could be improved furthermore, and there will be more training place provided for those who wish to get professional training.
Victorious In Play (VIP)

We are surprised that except Hyqul who is a semi-professional eSports player, all of VIP members are joining the eSports industry as a full-time player. They contact each other often to manage their training time, but they will still train at least 21 hours per week.
From left to right: BenV (Flanker), Yakuza (Captain/Tanker), Hyqul (Defender), Jumper (Support)
We asked the same question about whether their families are supportive, and we are glad that all of them gets 100% support from their families. Of course, they also promise that they will do their best to win the tournament and make Malaysia proud.

Becoming a full-time eSports player or joining the eSports industry is not easy, but with the support from their families, friends and fans, they can focus on what they are doing and do their best to achieve their dream. Let’s wish them good luck in the following weeks of PMCO SEA League 2019!

An Interview With Taro – A Mysterious Malaysian Comedic Video Narrator

You have probably heard or seen of a video narrated with a Malaysian accent. The script paired with the video in the background provides a comedic experience for viewers especially from Malaysia and Singapore who pretty much understood where this is coming from. Nonetheless, Taro is Narrating, has made waves of fans pouring in the last month. Because of that, we took this opportunity to get an interview with him!

Taro – Momotaro in Malaysia
He may look like this….
Taro, is a Malaysian guy with a Malaysian accent who narrates us his take on movies and even games! With him rising in popularity, we took the pleasure to have an interview with him. Though he admits that he looked like a skinnier Hideo Kojima, there was no face reveal during the interview. Instead, we have only gotten this picture:

But actually he looks like this
Expectation vs Reality
Because his voice and Malaysian accent captured many of the media stalkers, we have requested for a voice recording of his interview. You can check it out below:

As a content creator, it is never easy as you need ideas and time (the most expensive currency) to create a content that will be published to entertain viewers. Here are some of the things Taro has to do to create his content in pictures:

Though the Taro is Narrating Facebook page isn’t that old, Taro’s comedic talent has caused a surge of fans to follow his page. Since then, he has reaped some of the rewards off from his hardwork and shared with us some of his best moments in making video contents for us:
Special screening of Incredibles 2, movie tickets courtesy to Walt Disney Studios!
Best moments in Movie genre
Best moments in Game genre
For all the things that he has done for us, it’s not just some Tom, Dick or Harry that could do it. The contents were the fruit of Taro’s hardwork, and his work is to watch movies. Look at the amount of movies he has gone to collect that thick pile of tickets!

For those who’d still like to read it, here’s the interview in words below:

So why Malaysian style?
I’ve try English accents and its sibeh funny as you can hear it now, so Malaysian style lo.
Why the nickname ‘Taro’?
Taro it’s originated from Japanese folklore Momotaro, its sounds so gay and long gas la if people call me momotaro so I change it to Taro.

I started doing a narration video for Avengers 1+2 to test out Adobe Premiere Pro, then continue to test out the software by adding subtitle for narrating spirited away, mana tau it booms and I decided to make that page lo.
How do you choose which content to create every week?
I choose the content based on our childhood, or what’s trending (for Tuesday gaming section) and upon major request.
So far which of the videos you created are your favorite?
I personally like The Greatest Showman because my fans actually like my singing even though its sounds like “killing chicken”, I was surprise when people say “walau taro can sing”
What are some of the reactions you get from non-Malaysian fans on your videos?
Most of them do enjoy and support my video la, however there’s also people who go against it because they don’t understand the Malaysian style, but overall its cool, I love all of them anyways.
Do you think you can you do live commentaries for games in your style?
I actually started as a game commentator on YouTube and it doesn’t work out, maybe I will try again in the future la.

Is being an entertainer your dream?
Yes, of course, I always like to make people laugh, using my words or my face (yea face problem).
Does your family support in what you’re doing now?
My family goes against it and advise me to find a proper job for stable income, however they always “mouth yes heart no” (talk one style do another style) one la, now they support me liao because I kinda on track.
Any hints on your upcoming videos?
I narrate everything. =)
Anything you want to say to your fans?
Thank you guys for the support since spirited away until now! Thank you for loving me as a person and not only because for my video. I will make even more great content in the future to make sure u guys don’t over stressed and punch your boss or your teacher ok? *pinky promise*

Erm 2 and a half Microsoft word’s line I guess?
What’s the highest count of re-record of your narrates?
21 times haha ( cuz im too bodoh to realise there’s audacity to use)

Since you can’t show us your face, can you tell us which famous actor/singer you look closest to?
Face reveal will be very near in the future, I just want to do an epic one to entertain my supporter! I looks like uhm slim version of Hideo Kojima (thou he is not an actor or singer haha).

Taro is a fun and entertaining person. Even when he’s off screen, he still maintains his ‘Taro’ facade with his original Malaysian accent for the interview. As Taro has just started his media stardom, we could all show some love and support for our Malaysian talent!

With all the hot takes done and dusted, the Nintendo Switch OLED version has arrived regardless. As its name suggests, the selling point for this “new” model of the extremely popular console is its OLED screen. While the industry and fans at large continue to wonder if there will truly be a “Pro” version released some day, this will make do for now.

BASICS
First thing’s first, let’s get the pricing out of the way. The retail price of the original Nintendo Switch console is USD299, while the OLED version goes for USD349.99, varying according to regional prices.

BUILD
I was immediately taken by the really clean white finish for the Nintendo Switch OLED. For aesthetic reasons alone, the few design tweaks might actually be worth the higher asking price. Since it is a white model, I can understand the concerns of it getting dirty easily. For what its worth, it should be fine besides any dust on the buttons or joystick, which you can pretty easily clean off to maintain its pristine condition.

Since I hadn’t originally planned to get an OLED model, I hadn’t paid too much attention to its specs that weren’t significant hardware changes. That was why it surprised me that the OLED version fits just fine in my hard case, despite the bigger screen. More screen real estate is always nice when it comes to portable gaming. The screen itself will be elaborated in a separate section.

Looking it over, the OLED model’s power and volume buttons have been made bigger. Presumably because it’s brand new, these bigger buttons also feel extra “clicky”. Other minor changes include slight differences in the vent and 3.5mm jack design, and a slightly wider card slot. Flip to the back, and the kickstand now stretches across the console instead of being the flimsy thing the original has, and is definitely way more stable. The microSD card slot has also been moved to the left side of the console (as viewed from the back), rather than being tucked under the stand of the original.

The dock’s edges are rounded, with matching white finish of the OLED model. Instead of a hinged lid, the back covering of the dock is now completely removable. If you want to snap it back on, it’s easy, and there’s a slightly more stylish space out of which the wires can snake out. The LAN cable port is on the back as well. For those who wanted the dock solely for this port, it’s compatible with the original Switch if you had any intention of getting it separately. The dock also now has two USB slots to the original’s one, placed on the right side when you view it from the back.
Everything else in the looks department is untouched.

SCREEN
The pièce de résistance of the OLED model is the OLED screen. How much difference could a screen possibly make? A lot, as it turns out, when it comes to the visuals. Games look so much more vibrant, they virtually look completely different. Dearly beloved Legend of Mana Remastered looks so stunning, the colourful world popping out as it deserves. The portable gaming experience is absolutely enhanced with the screen.
Nintendo Switch OLED top, regular bottom.
It’s probably too early to determine how “bad” the “risk of image retention or screen burn-in” is at this stage with the OLED model still being relatively new. According to Nintendo, this issue may arise from “the same image on the OLED screen for extended periods of time”. I’m no expert in this matter, but I would like to think this would be an unlikely occurrence for a vast majority of owners. If you’re concerned, there’s a setting on your console to help with reducing screen burn-in.
While I gush about the quality of the screen when in handheld mode, the docked output remains capped at 1080P.
CLOSING WORDS
The Nintendo Switch OLED has the increased internal storage from 32GB to 64GB, while maintaining the battery life of the refreshed original Nintendo Switch model, the HAC-001(-01). Actual game performance, e.g. loading times, frame rate, and the like, are also identical to the original Nintendo Switch.

Overall, the model is not the biggest upgrade to the Nintendo Switch line, but it still is quite an attractive model all things considered. As I see it, if you only want to play some games on the console, your cheapest option would be the Lite. For existing owners of a Nintendo Switch, the OLED is likely lower in priority, besides the dock itself. Those who haven’t already gotten a Nintendo Switch and would prefer having the option for docked gameplay, the OLED model is honestly one I can recommend as the best version for a better portable gameplay experience, simply for the visuals.
The rest of us will have more waiting to do for the legendary “Pro” Nintendo Switch.

A Job For Every Player
Currently, there are over 50 different heroes in the game for players to collect. Each hero has its own in-depth job system. There are 4 main jobs in the game, Warrior, Rogue, Archer and Acolyte. As Players progress through the game, you can further branch out into other sub-Jobs such as Crusader, Assassin, Ranger, Samurai, Mage and many more. Each hero can choose from among 7 Job paths to progress with, and there’s a total of 20 different sub-Jobs that players can explore.

Aside from levelling up your jobs, your heroes have other ways of increasing their strength such as the rarity upgrade from SR to UR, where you can gain additional stats and skills. You can also equip them with Equipment and Runes that will further enhance their stats. Your hero’s visuals will change and look better as they grow stronger.

Different Every Time
Shining Beyond has a unique roguelike system that helps to prolong the longevity of the game. Each time the Player enters a mission, the game will randomly generate a brand-new battlefield through its AI system, creating a unique experience with each playthrough. There are over 400 story missions for players to explore.
On top of that, there’ll be random encounters such as a secret treasure chest map where players can open the treasure chest through a DPS check, or secret missions with various Buffs or Debuffs that will affect both your heroes and the enemies. Completing these random encounters will help players gain many special rewards to aid in progression.

Level Up Even When You’re Not Playing
As mentioned above, Shining Beyond is also an idle game where players can continue to generate Gold and Experience offline. Not only that, you’ll also be rewarded with equipment, runes and other items that can help with your progression, making sure that you will not be lagging behind even when you’re not playing the game.
Content wise, there are various PVE and PVP game modes for Players to explore. Players can participate in various PVE game mode such as Tower, Raid, Treasure Hunt and even real time co-op with up to two friends. For those of you who prefer PVP, the battles in Shining Beyond are in real-time thus testing not only strategy but also your mettle.

Visually, the game bares some resemblance to Valiant Force. I believe the developers are fans of J-mobile games as most of the character design to the UI, and various battlegrounds visuals are similar to what you’ll see in a Japan developed mobile game. Furthermore, XII Braves has also invited Hitoshi Sakimoto-san, a Japanese music composer best known for scoring massively popular video games such as Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy XII, to produce the original soundtrack for Shining Beyond.
Closing Thoughts
In conclusion, Shining Beyond is a great idle-action, hero collection game for players to jump into. You do not have to commit a lot of time in the game to progress your characters to enjoy the same amount of extensive content you can find in various other mobile games of the same genre.

Pre-register for the game now to unlock many exciting in-game rewards such as 10x Premium Summon Tickets, Gems, Equipment and even an exclusive Immortal’s Valour Wings.

Shikimori’s Not Just A Cutie First Impression – Well, Actually

This weekend saw the start of the new anime season, and with it, what was largely heralded as the big waifu of the season with Shikimori’s Not Just A Cutie, the new rom com about a clumsy boy and his impossible girlfriend who dotes on him.

I should mention that I checked out the manga before the anime came out- I quite liked the premise of just having a really cool girlfriend. After Komi San fed the masses of people wanting some soft girl they can fix, Shikimori seemed poised to be the opposite. Finally, a waifu for those of us who just want to be doted on by a gorgeous girl.

Despite this, I found Shikimori’s Not just A Cutie an absolute slog to go through. It’s core premise isn’t so much its core- it’s the entirety of the episode. It makes sense in the manga, considering how short the chapters are. They’re almost akin to Way of the Househusband where each chapter is just multiple ways to fit the same joke into new angles. But with the jump to anime came the need for adaptation, and the root of the series is just so shallow that there’s really nothing to adapt.
Shikimori *Is* Just A Cutie
This is pretty much my major gripe with the anime and the manga- Shikimori is a boring character. She’s hopelessly obsessed with her boyfriend, Izumi, who’s a lovable clutz that keeps getting into accidents. But outside from him she literally has no personality.

Look, I’ll give the series its props- it’s very clearly the mangaka’s fetish to be doted on by a beautiful girl and watching the anime you can feel that energy. There’s nothing inherently wrong with media just being the fetish of its creator- I mean, I love Helltaker for exactly that
.
The problem is is that with all the rom coms around, you need to raise the bar a little. Shikimori is such a dull character and defined by her boyfriend that it’s near impossible to figure out what’s going on in her head that isn’t related to him. This is just the first episode, sure, but I’ve read a little ahead in the manga and it doesn’t get much better down the road, either.
I think the best example I can make of this is Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai, which equally feels as in love with its heroine Mai Sakurajima. The thing with that is that while a lot of Mai is defined by her relationship with Sakuta, you actively know she has non-Sakuta thoughts. In Shikimori’s case that simply isn’t true, she’s just a pretty girl made to sell scale figures that you hug to sleep while hoping it will come to life and give you headpats.
It’s not like she only hangs around him either- she has two other friends in the first episode, yet somehow never has a converstation with them that isn’t about Izumi. It’s a bechdel miracle- three women having a conversation and it’s still about a man.

While Izumi isn’t much better as a character, he is still, marginally, better. He’s your typical self insert, dense as a neutron star and clumsy with a dash of bad luck to make sure Shikimori is always there to save him from being isekai’d. Maybe it’s just my age showing but it’s getting tiring to see spineless main characters who never have that issue addressed. You can do great things with these characters, but Shikimori’s refusal to do so just makes it feel like any extra personality traits just came with the setting template.
Still, at least you do get into his head a little- he wants to stop being pathetic and has a fetish for cool-type girls. It’s not much, but at least it’s a neat detail about the character.
Well Produced

It’s not all bad though- a huge draw I can imagine people having for this is the fact that the anime is downright gorgeous. Every shot looks great, and the studio truly took care to execute on the mangaka’s vision- that is, making Shikimori look hot in the various money shots of each chapter.
There’s also the case of the series pacing- the manga, as I mentioned, is a series of short gags. In this case the anime succeeds by actually fleshing everything out with a sense of cohesiveness, and I have to say just for that it’s a great example to hold up of how to bring your manga to anime if the chapters itself don’t suit the format.
The first episode covers the gang’s entrance day ceremony and subsequent bowling trip, with a few in-between gags as well. I really hope the anime continues this level of pacing going forward, because these short stretches of time work so much better for slice  of life than trying to cram as many chapters in as possible. Considering how much the manga likes to jump to different settings, I don’t know how they plan to form a cohesive timeline- but the first episode certainly gives me hope.
Closing Thoughts

I honestly don’t know how much more time I want to put into Shikimori’s Not Just A Cutie as a series. As someone who loves banal slice of life rom coms Shikimori somehow consistently feels like a slog to go through. It’s not that I hate one-note plots its just that a lot of them only work because the characters themselves are interesting.
It’s a shame because I want to like it- the idea of a main character just being head over heels for his girlfriend is always sweet, and in the case of the mangaka’s fetish, well let’s just say real recognizes real. But somehow I found myself just unable to actually finish it in one sitting- a terrible thing for a slice-of-life anime to be.
Of course, I’ll probably watch it until episode 3 of Shikimori’s Not Just A Cutie at least for its fair shake. With frequent pauses in between, though.

The world of The Witcher expands in this anime origin story: Before Geralt, there was his mentor Vesemir — a swashbuckling young witcher who escaped a life of poverty to slay monsters for coin and glory. But when a strange new monster begins terrorizing a politically-fraught kingdom, Vesemir finds himself on a frightening adventure that forces him to confront the demons of his past.
The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf is written and produced by Beau DeMayo, and co-produced by The Witcher Showrunner and Executive Producer Lauren Schmidt Hissrich and Studio Mir’s Kwang Il Han, who is also directing.

On top of that, they’ve also announced a mobile game, made with the same core mechanics of Pokemon Go.

Malaysia’s very own Dato’ Michelle Yeoh is set to join the cast of The Witcher: Blood Origin, the prequel to Netflix‘s The Witcher.

She is set to play the role of Scían, the very last of her nomadic tribe of sword-elves in the series. No one can come close to her artistry with the blade, and no one carries as much loss within their heart. When a chance presents itself to retrieve a stolen sacred sword, taken from her fallen tribe by nefarious means, she launches herself into a deadly quest that will change the outcome of the Continent.

Blood Origin will be a six-part, live action limited series and a prequel to the hit Netflix series The Witcher. Set in an elven world 1200 years before the world of The Witcher: Blood Origin will tell a story lost to time – the creation of the first prototype Witcher, and the events that lead to the pivotal “conjunction of the spheres,” when the worlds of monsters, men, and elves merged to become one.

Besides joining the cast of The Witcher: Blood Origin, Michelle Yeoh is renowned for acting in films such as Tomorrow Never Dies and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. More recently, she appeared in Crazy Rich Asians and will soon make another silver screen appearance in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

[ TGA 2022] Transformers Reactivate Is a Co Op Action Game Coming To PC And Consoles

Hasbro has announced Transformers REACTIVATE, an upcoming Transformers co op game coming to PC and consoles.

While the reveal at The Game Awards didn’t yield too much in the way of actual gameplay information, the game’s website and YouTube channel provided more context on what the game actually was.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

Looking at the developers Splash Damage, it’s hard to suss out just exactly what Transformers REACTIVATE is going to be, gameplay wise- the developers have experience across multiple genres, such as the strategy RPG Gears Tactics and the FPS Dirty Bomb.
Considering the lack of any familiar faces in the trailer among the enemies, it’s safe to assume The Legion are an entirely new threat- likely unconnected to the Decepticons.
What the trailer does show off, however, is what appears to be Autobots Ironhide and Ratchet also fighting off the Legion in their vehicular modes.

Transformers fans are hungry for a new Transformers console experience- the last shooter with the Transformers branding was High Moon’s Cybertron trilogy on the PS3, famously delisted following licensing issues with Activision.
From the trailer, the HUD in some of the segments seems to imply that REACTIVATE would bring the series to first person, though we’ll have to stand by for further information to confirm it.

A feature called “Summon” will also be included. Using your smartphone, you can hire various helpers by paying a sum of yen. You’ll be able to see cameos from other yakuza, and even a crayfish…?

Yakuza: Like a Dragon is set for a 2020 western release as well, as can be seen on the official website. With a few of the Yakuza series also on PC, one would hope the newest entry will soon make its way over as well.

As for Lance (New Year’s 2021), the Pokemon champion forms a sync pair with Gyarados. Gyarados can dish out pain using physical and special attacks. Lance and his Gyarados can use the sync move Rising Dragon Flying Impact.
Both sync pairs are recruitable as 5★ , but can be made even stronger by raising them to 6★ EX. In addition, they come with their respective sync grids expanded, making it easier to max them out. As usual, you cannot have the original Trainer and the seasonal variant with the same name in the same team.
Besides the new characters, a new story event is also added. These festive versions of Lance and Lillie, together with their Pokemon, are featured in Story Event: Season’s Greetings story. By playing through the event, players can earn Cards. These cards are then redeemable for prizes and items. Note that the two new sync pairs provide the greatest bonus to Card drop rate when placed in your lineup.
With so much new content for players to catch up with since December, we hope that you can get your hands on these two new Pokemon Masters EX characters!

Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway Review – Hathaway’s Splash

Netflix recently announced the addition of Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway– the latest movie in Gundam’s Universal Century timeline. The movie follows Hathaway Noa- son of esteemed captain Bright Noa from the original Mobile Suit Gundam, and catches up with him after his actions in Char’s Counterattack.

From gorgeous visuals, a banger of a soundtrack and the reputation of one of the best Gundam movies, there’s a lot to live up to. Does Gundam Hathaway actually do it? Read on and find out.

Three People Sit Around And Talk About How Rad Char’s Counterattack Is

One thing I really like about Gundam Hathaway is that if anything, the marketing has been pretty misleading. I won’t go into too many spoilers, but Hathaway is totally not in the position you’d think he was based on the trailers- rather than being some special agent hunting down the terrorist Mafty, the first scene ends with the revelation that Hathaway is Mafty, and the rest of the movie is showing him interact in a world that wants many things of Mafty, and what he personally wants for the terrorist organization.

Hathaway meets Gigi, a rich girl who takes an interest in him immediately as she finds out his secret. I wanna say there’s great chemistry here, but there really isn’t. Gigi reminds Hathaway of Quess, the girl from Char’s Counterattack that ends up being a major player for every character that wasn’t Char or Amuro. The problem is that outside of treating us to some nice re-drawn footage from Counterattack this never really goes anywhere, especially since we never see what Hathaway’s actual thoughts about Quess are, other than the fact that he’s aware she’s dead.
It’s really easy to not spoil movie because outside of the Mafty reveal nothing really happens in this movie. Hathaway meets Gigi, who practically throws herself at him when she finds out he’s Mafty, he goes off to monologue about how rad Char’s Counterattack was as a movie also available on Netflix, and then we get some token Giant Robot fights. It’s not a lot to go off of, and none of the characters ever feel particularly explored.

I Dig Giant Robots
If there’s a reason for the Penelope Gundam’s hideous appearance, I’d like to hear it- considering how much we know that the “Gundam Shape” is a propaganda tool, the Penelope and Xi are a mystery to me.
So, if you’re of the “Gundam should be about giant robots” crowd, give Gundam Hathaway a miss. While not totally void of Mobile suit fights, they’re definitely not the focus of the movie.
I also really don’t like the two Gundams in the movie, the Xi Gundam and Gundam Penelope. Their design really runs counter to a lot of the UC’s design aesthetic, and they just look incredibly cluttered. Their silhouettes are way too bulky, and the scenes they appear in are just unpleasant to watch. The only suit that looks really good is the new Messer, and that’s just because it’s an even more roided-out Geara Doga, which has always been in my opinion the height of Mono-Eye grunt suits.
You Made A Movie About The Worst Character In Char’s Counterattack
There’s a lot of interesting places you could go with a guy who was so down bad he committed treason- too bat Gundam Hathaway didn’t do any of them.
There’s also the problem of Hathaway himself- personally, I love the direction Gundam has taken with its less paragon-of-virtue protagonists and more cynical approach. The problem is Hathaway is a weird character to assume this mantle considering the last time we saw him was in Char’s Counterattack, where he straight up steals a mobile suit and murders a member of his own crew because he had a crush on a girl. I get that the events of Zeta literally started because someone got Kamille’s name wrong but at least we got to follow Kamille through the aftermath of that.
In Hathaway’s case we’re just told that he used his father’s connections (I swear by now Bright Noa has seen enough that I wouldn’t be surprised if they canonized him as a living saint) to sweep away all the nonsense he pulled in Counterattack. I mean, I already didn’t like the guy in the first movie but this kind of hand-wavey approach only makes you dislike him more, since he’s somehow swept away the consequences of Char’s Counterattack while still retaining enough of it to have his own edgy backstory.
There’s also the problem of messaging- You could kind of accept Hathaway’s role in Counterattack because the point was he was a child, and you could make some long video essay about how Hathaway and Quess are two people easily influenced by the “meh-ification” of war. But Gundam Hathaway never engages with that in any meaningful way, making his stint in the final battle sound more like Amuro Ray hijacking the Gundam than, you know, an actual big problem.
Heck, you could have probably made a new protagonist have been one of the pilots of the Ra Cailum who witnessed Hathaway’s slap on the wrist and made a way more engaging Mafty than Hathaway. Instead all you have is a pretty petulant manchild who’s been seemingly rewarded for his tantrum
The Gundam Series As A Whole

One thing I both love and hate about Gundam Hathaway is that a lot of parts feel like they’re echoing the Greatest Hits of the Gundam UC timeline. Aside from the obvious references to Char’s Counterattack, the overall “Don’t trust the Federation” overtones definitely feel straight out of Zeta Gundam, and a scene early on in the series really gives off War in The Pocket vibes.
The problem with Gundam Hathaway though is that nothing really happens in the movie, so a lot of these references just feel like they’re there for the sake of being there. Unlike in Gundam Unicorn, which actively reminds you about the Federation’s unreliability, the only way Gundam Hathaway really tells you they’re bad is by constantly showing snooty rich people and Hathaway’s disdain for them.
Heck, one of the major characters is supposed to represent the Federation side, and he’s kind of just wasted since he has no reason for being around other than to tease Hathaway about faux-love-interest Gigi while Jegans operate in the background.
I guess it’s unfair to compare it to Unicorn, which was a whole 7-part OVA and is blessed with the gift of hindsight. The problem is Gundam Unicorn was marketed as just that- a multi-part OVA. Each part had its own subtitle, so even though Episode 1 of Unicorn is incredibly dry you know that everything set up was ultimately going somewhere.
It’s also a problem of the Gundam series as a whole- there’s enough Gundam out there that there’s always bound to be another series that does it better. Unicorn’s whole schtick is raging against the tyranny of snooty rich people, as was Zeta Gundam. Meanwhile Gundam Thunderbolt (Which I implore Netflix to bring to its platform) does the whole “we’re people from different sides watch us do whatever needs to be done” story way better, especially considering most of their cast have physical scars on them that you can always see to remind them that what little skin they have left is in the game.
An Interesting Place In The The UC Timeline
I actually wouldn’t be surprised if the in-universe media started crazedly announcing every charismatic individual as “The next Char Aznable”.
Interestingly enough, Gundam Hathaway doesn’t take place where I thought it would. From the promotional material I was wholly expecting another case of Twilight Axis, wherein they try to squeeze more in between the events of Char’s Counterattack and Gundam Unicorn. Instead the anime tells you very early on that Gundam Hathaway takes place after the events of Unicorn, roughly about 10 years.
Considering the events of Unicorn are a pretty big deal, it’s almost interesting to see how Gundam Hathaway completely sidesteps it, especially when both series have a well-rooted hatred for big wigs. I don’t mind it too much- more self contained series are always great, but it does feel weird knowing that one of the Big Families in this world was arrested for Grand Terrorism and being Space Racists and it’s never brought up while Hathaway is discussing how much he hates rich people.
Heck, despite so much of the plot revolving around politicians, it’s almost weird that you never hear of any of the big families from Unicorn, when in-universe they were all brought front and center  a decade ago. I’m not mad that they’re not there, but serial Gundam fans are sure to feel an air of disconnect when you realize that Hathaway takes place 6 years after the government tried to fire what was essentially the Death Star before a university student became president of Space Russia, yet everyone acts as if it’s been nothing but roses since the events of Char’s Counterattack.
Visuals
Minor complaint: too much of this movie is super dark. Let me see your pretty art direction, please.
Like all modern Gundam productions, Gundam Hathaway looks amazing. The art style is very reminiscent of Gundam The Origin – easily one of the best looking pieces of Gundam media to date. Even the CG mobile suits look great, blending almost seamlessly with the rest of the world.
One thing I really like about Gundam Hathaway is the backgrounds, though. The movie takes place mainly in Sulawesi, and the entire movie looks it with pretty authentic-looking South East Asian backgrounds. Everything looks gritty, but not in a way that’s meant to show poverty- instead it just looks part of the culture.
Meanwhile the luxury hotels are practically megastructures, with gaudy features I’m sure I’ve seen on any island resort. It’s a nice contrast, and I really appreciate that the movie doesn’t treat sights like traditional South East Asian grocery stores like some posterboy for poverty. It’s a really big step forward in representation, and I’m glad for that.
Another thing I really should bring up is the opening credits for the movie, which are a neat recap of the events of Char’s Counterattack. It’s not enough to catch up the uninitiated though, and good lord will they need to be caught up because so much of this movie relies on you knowing who Hathaway is as a character. Still, seeing Hathaway’s big fight in 3D is a great touch, and it was a cool watch.
Closing Thoughts
In hindsight, “Hathaway sulks on the beach while a mobile suit is in the background” is a pretty apt summary after all
Honestly, Sunrise should have just dropped the act and announced Gundam Hathaway as an OVA, similar to Unicorn. Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway hard sequel baits you at the end, with the teasing of more returning UC characters and a “our three protagonists go their separate ways” beat. As it’s own thing, Gundam Hathaway is an incredibly slow movie about a guy monologuing references to Char’s Counterattack while Shinjo Akane from Gridman desperately throws herself at him.
Knowing that it’s all going to lead somewhere would have really helped the movie, because the movie is actually pretty devoid of any critique that hasn’t been done better in other Gundam films. I get it- there’s only so many ways you can say war is bad, but you could definitely afford to build off of the Gundam Universe’s already rich history to have made something with a little more bite.
Despite all this, I’m hoping they actually do continue to make more in the series- I’m totally ready to have my expectations turned around here, just like I was with Unicorn. It’d be a shame if they didn’t build up what they’ve already laid down here, because there’s potential for something really interesting. It’s also great that the film was released internationally via Netflix, because I definitely don’t regret watching it like I would have if I actually had to go out and risk a deadly lung virus just to watch Hathaway moan about his gripes for 90 minutes.

Concept art revealed in the live stream show skins based on Eren Jeager and Hange Zoë, which will be available for the two survivor characters, Dwight and Zarina.

As for the killers, there will be a skin for Oni based on the Armored Titan. It is a little disappointing that you can’t play as a little titan and chase down victims but this makes up for it just a little. The Armored Titan’s skin seems to have crystal-like hardening, much like the character in the anime.

Dead by Daylight is available for PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and mobile devices.

Two New Mobile PUBG Games Which Includes Naval Combat!

PUBG has made the news this week with its invasion onto the mobile games market. There has been plenty of other developers that have tried to make a copy of PUBG on mobile. However this time, it’s the real deal and Bluehole will not stand on the sidelines as they watch their masterworks being used as a jumping pad in the mobile games industry. With that said, Bluehole is collaborating with Tencent to bring mobile players the original PUBG experience on mobile.

Despite the recent release of their trailer for the mobile PUBG by Tencent, they have also revealed two separate PUBG mobile titles that are currently in development. First is Army Attack (translated from Chinese) which includes naval combat. This means players will no longer be restricted on the island only and players can take battles on both sea and land. Timi Studio, the developer for Honor of Kings, will be developing Army Attack which has yet to reveal more details soon.

Next is the PUBG Mobile: Battlefield which we all hoped to gain as close experience with the PC version. The game is developed by Tencent’s Lightspeed and Quantum Studio which is rumored to be built with Unreal Engine 4. That means if you don’t have a high-end phone, you might not be able to play it on your mobile. Nonetheless, it is expected that a game such as this would require a higher end phone to support but let’s not keep our hopes down and wait for the official release with its minimum requirements.
