Trails of Cold Steel 3 Online mobile set for August 2021 release

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel 3 will be getting an online, mobile RPG, scheduled for release in August 2021. The game is currently set to be available for the Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau regions. According to this Tweet thread, Trails of Cold Steel 3 Online is based on the original game, where you will be able to experience the curriculum of Thors Academy II branch.

The game is developed by Yi Mi Interactive Entertainment, distributed by WANDA CINEMAS GAMES, with support from GREE. As a student, you’ll be able to watch the growing tensions within the Erebonian Empire, as you interact with Class VII, Class VIII and Class IX alongside the townspeople of Leeves.

You can check out the game’s official Facebook page, as well as the weibo post. Screenshots are also available through the Falcom database. You may likewise register for the limited test via the website.
This seems pretty much in a similar vein of Ys VI Online, with an original character being inserted into a pre-existing story. It’s curious that they’ve opted for Cold Steel 3, when you could argue this series in particular is highly interconnected. With the August release window, the test should be beginning soon for better reference footage before the launch.

EVO 2022 To Be Held In-Person In Las Vegas

EVO, one of the biggest fighting game tournaments in the industry, has announced that EVO 2022 would no longer be offline.

In a tweet today, the official EVO Twitter account announced that the series of tournaments would be held in-person, in its usual venue in Las Vegas.

“We have loved the competition through our online events, but nothing beats live, in-person tournaments between players from around the world. It has been too long since we have experienced the spirit of the FGC in person together. Evo is back in Las Vegas August 5-7 in 2022”, the tweet reads.

— EVO (@EVO) August 14, 2021

It’s no surprise that this year’s EVO was lacking considerably in hype compared to prior years. This year’s edition of the tournament was full of firsts, being the first EVO Online, as well as the first event under the stewardship of Sony, who had bought over the tournament.
However, things like connectivity issues, as well as executive decisions like not streaming as many matches as well as confusing schedules  brought down the overall reception to the tournament, leading many fans to miss the more exciting days of in-person events.
Obviously, not being able to hold EVO in person isn’t anyone’s fault- the world has been in limbo for close to two years now thanks to a deadly virus. And that same virus might also have something to say about EVO 2022, so starting celebrations now would be premature.
If nothing else though, it’s good of EVO to give fans something to look forward to.

The series became popular for its violent trials and commentary on capitalism and the exploitation of the poor. It also ended on a cliffhanger so leaving a lot of questions to be answered in the show’s new season.

PUBG Adds New Reward System But Is It Good?

PUBG Corp. has been hammered over their decisions in “making the game better” over the past couple of months. The best thing that has been updated in the game so far is probably the Training Mode where we get to roam around a 2×2 km map filled with our favorite toys and vehicles to train ourselves for the next Hunger Games. But with the upcoming update 21, aside from the bug fixes and improvements, they have added in a new reward system.

They call it, the Supply System. The Supply System is the new reward system that will reward you with items every time you increase your Survivor Level. How do you increase your Survivor Level? Well there are missions which will be refreshed daily and some weekly which will provide you with EXP. The missions will have you do some silly things like:

Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

As you increase your Survivor Level, you will be greeted with a reward! Though don’t be too happy about it as it’s a time limited item – a 7 day limited time item. The rarity of the item is random where you can gain from the most common of items to the rarest Olive Branch Pan. But don’t be quick to dismiss this yet! You actually will get a permanent item every 10 levels! So, in spite of receiving useless items that would leave you a week later (like my money), at least you do get some permanent items every 10 Survivor Levels you reached!
However, the question that’s begging for an answer is; “Is it easy of a grind to reach 10 levels?” If it’s easy to grind up 10 levels, great! But if it’s a chore, you might just get frustrated to begin with just like earning BPs to buy your crates. On another mind boggling question, what are the chances of you getting an item you’ve never had before anyway?

Can you imagine grinding up to Survivor Level 50 only to get 5 permanent Polkadot T-Shirt? I can. Sure, it’s FREE. But what are you going to do with your 5 Polkadot T-Shirt? Though currently the Supply System is already up on the PUBG Test Server, it could change for the better when it’s official on the main game.
You can also read more about the patch here.

According to Royal Selangor, the release is in conjunction with the 40th anniversary of the now-iconic Empire Strikes Back.

It features Darth Vader with his arm outstretched, his hand in the same pose as when he chokes out an imperial officer in Episode IV.
The sculpt is excellently detailed, with close-ups showing even small details under the back of his helmet being represented in the bust.
Darth Vader is arguably one of the most iconic villains in pop culture, with many of his lines becoming a treasure trove of movie parodies.
Royal Selangor is no stranger to the sci-fi juggernaut, having produced many Star Wars products in the past. These include a 1:1 scale replica of Obi-Wan Kenobi’s lightsaber, as well as pewter statues of other characters such as Yoda.

ROG Mothership, new Glacier Blue laptop color and desktop lineup announced by ROG Malaysia

ASUS ROG Malaysia has announced a new lineup of gaming products for Q3 2019 onwards during the “Be Unstoppable Launch 2019” event today. The lineup includes the innovative ROG Mothership and the compact ROG Huracan, while a new colour option – Glacier Blue will be available for Zephyrus S GX502 and Strix G G531 in Malaysia soon too! Here are the details.

ROG Mothership GZ700GX
Serving as the future of desktop replacement, ROG Mothership give the cooling system unrestricted access to airflow at the back by standing tall instead of lying flat on a desk. The keyboard is detachable and foldable, so you can freely position it to your desired stance. Detaching the keyboard also reveals a row of four speakers that aimed directly at the user, creating an effective sound bar right beneath the display.

The upright design improves airflow and lets ROG shave down the chassis without sacrificing speed. It is very slim at only 29.9mm mostly thanks to its CNC-machined body. The machine is having an ultrafast FHD panel refreshes at 144Hz with a 3ms response time too.
ROG Mothership GZ700GX will be available for Malaysia in mid-July at RM26,999. You can find more information about the product here.
Glacier Blue
The latest ROG laptops will be soon arriving with a new colour option – Glacier Blue, which is inspired by ROG’s this season’s focus on Intelligent Cooling. The new colour comes in a wintery look at first glance that becomes surprisingly saturated upon closer inspection. This specific shade has a silvery sheen in the light, making it appear paler and more polished from a distance.

Its brighter appearance helps mask fingerprints and blemishes too. Bolder blue tones jump out when up close or in darker environments, providing a shot of colour along with more contrast for RGB lighting.

Glacier Blue will be available on Zephyrus S GX502 and Strix G G531 late August for Malaysia, at RM8,899 and RM3,899 respectively.
ROG Huracan G21
ROG Huracan G21 has a unique magnetically-secured side cover that sets it apart from other gaming desktops. Opening the side cover increases airflow into the system for better cooling, and triggers internal sensors that boost CPU and GPU performance while activating integrated Aura lighting effects. The extra airflow provides the cooling needed for its high-performance components, so you can play games at the highest settings.

It is also powered by up to the latest 9th Generation Intel Core i9 processor with up to 32GB of DDR4 2666MHz memory, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 graphics. Other than these, Huracan features up to a 512GB M.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD and a 2TB HDD. A 2TB HDD with Intel Optane Memory technology is available too.
The compact 13-litre chassis of Huracan is inspired by cyber-warrior and cyberpunk themes, which you could see an angular design with sharp creases that symbolize a warrior’s battle scars. Maintaining and upgrading key components is easy thanks to the sliding side panels. It has a hot-swap 2.5-inch SSD bay as well.

Huracan G21 will be available in August at RM11,999 or RM6,299 depending on its specs. More information available here.

DESIGN

Touting a design meant to invoke the future, the GL66 Pulse is titanium gray with contour lines, a laser-engraved shield logo and angled corners on the cover for that high-tech, robotic look. The gray already makes it stand out from most other MSI offerings which are typically black. The GL66 Pulse keeps the black to the keyboard. With more tasteful engravings and honeycomb design, it definitely looks very sleek. The lid being plastic is kind of a let-down. Material use aside, the machine weighs in at a respectable 2.6kg, and a 24.2mm thickness.

First things first, the display. Packing a 17.3-inch, IPS 16:9 aspect ratio display, our review model carries Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution and 144Hz refresh rate. If you’re looking for QHD + 165Hz, you’ll need to check out the other specifications. The screen’s narrow bezels on both sides helps to give the impression of more screen real estate. The 144Hz refresh rate means you can be assured of a smooth gaming visual experience, while also having fairly good colour gamut performance for other visual media. You can find the HD webcam above the screen which works pretty well, though it will suffer if there’s low lighting.

Moving on to the keyboard, it’s a full-sized one with backlighting and anti-ghosting across 84 keys. It can run the array of monochrome or vivid colours across the keyboard, depending on your preference. While it’s full-size, it’s got that compact design especially catered to gamers. As usual, the customization can be done through the MSI Center companion software, though the actual personalization limits the lighting to one colour or zone. At this price point, other machines typically offer four zones.

The keyboard has a “squishy” feeling, for lack of a better descriptor. It’s quite comfortable, though the compact design means the keys can feel a little close and cramped. The MSI Pulse GL76 comes with a common weakness where the keyboard area feels toasty once you get gaming, so an external keyboard would be recommended.
Next up, the touchpad. It works as needed, and is just average. There are no dedicated buttons, and feels like you need a decent amount of pressure to click. It does feel nice to glide and track with though.
Last but not least, you have a decent selection of ports for your connectivity needs, with seven in total: five on the right, two and the charging port on the left. Overall, you get:

1x Type-C USB3.2 Gen1
2x Type-A USB3.2 Gen1
1x Type-A USB 2.0
1x RJ45 (Ethernet/LAN Cable port)
1x (4K @ 60Hz) HDMI
1x 3.5mm Headphone Jack

You also have a CPU Status LED indicator. The machine rounds it out with dual-band Wi-Fi 6, Gigabit Ethernet and Bluetooth 5.2, pretty standard stuff.
PERFORMANCE
With a 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD, the MSI Pulse GL76 has enough storage for just about any modern title, with two total M2 NVMe PCIe Gen3 SSD slots as needed. RAM wise, you get 16GB DDR4 3200MHz Dual Channel (pre-installed 8GB x2), so that isn’t too much of a problem either. If you’re getting this machine, you’d probably want to know its gaming performance, and it will certainly perform at max settings. As briefly touched on above, the caveat is that it can get really hot so you will need to turn that fan on. The cooling system also helps with improving a game’s performance, but the keyboard area will nonetheless feel uncomfortably warm.
WATCH DOGS: LEGION
RTX + DLSS (Ultra)
RTX + DLSS (Medium)
Typical frame
At the highest graphics settings, the game can run anywhere between 45 to 70 FPS. Ray tracking and DLSS on with Ultra settings will drop that to 15 to 25 FPS, which is pretty understandable. If you’re going to play at “only” Medium, FPS can go up to 90.
CALL OF DUTY: BLACK OPS COLD WAR
RTX + DLSS ON
RTX + DLSS OFF
Much like Watch Dogs: Legion, there’s no lag here either as the game moves along at 60 to 90 FPS.
APEX LEGENDS

Once again, you can enjoy having no lag, the game running at over 100 FPS.
Cooler Boost 5 works hard to keep the laptop, well, cool, and for the most part, it can bring down the worst of the temperature quite quickly. Avoid either side of the laptop, though, as in the process of venting the heat, those areas can get pretty hot. The fans aren’t the quiet types either. Can’t have it all.
The 4700mAh capacity battery averages 4-5 hours on just browsing and video playback in testing. While it won’t die out completely, the battery goes from 100 to 29% in 30 minutes if you’re gaming without the charger plugged in.
The audio experience is great, with balanced bass without being too noisy thanks to Hi-res Audio. Nahimic in-game 3D surround sound means you can hear things as it was intended to, with Sound Sharing via Bluetooth available.
You can further peruse the benchmarking scores below, showcasing some respectable scores.
3DMARK: 7403

WATCH DOGS: LEGION

As usual, the MSI Center companion software is where you can download, update or uninstall MSI exclusive features along with various customization needs. The MSI App Player is also included, as a built-in emulator for your mobile titles.

CLOSING
Enjoy 8K!
Overall, the MSI Pulse GL76 11UEK model has quite a few highlights: design, 16GB DDR4 Dual Channel Memory, 1TB NVMe SSD and the keyboard lighting effects. It will be a solid companion for gaming, with the experience made all the better with an excellent display. Concerns are mostly limited to the uncomfortable heat around the keyboard, and a loud fan. If those won’t bother you, then the MSI Pulse GL76 11UEK will serve you well. You can check the specifications on the MSI website.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Review – The Culmination of A Fantasy Epic

The Xenoblade series has come a long way, from the Wii game fans had to petition Nintendo of America to localize to now being the company’s blockbuster game of the summer, yet here we are. After over 100 hours in Xenoblade Chronicles 3, I can safely say it brings this strange, fantasy trilogy to a fitting conclusion.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 successfully ties the story of the first two games together while adding a cast of likable new characters into the mix. With an enhanced battle system that is complex yet easy to pick and a broad world that pushes the Switch to its limits, it’s a thrilling, surprisingly touching ride through a sea of clouds.

Welcome to Aionios

The first thing we should note is that while you can play this one standalone, I would highly advise that you play the previous two games: Xenoblade Chronicles, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 first. The story is meant to be the end of a trilogy and fans who are familiar with those first two titles will get far more out of the plot.

The game takes place in the world of Aionios which is on the brink of ruin due to constant war between the nations of Keves and Agnus. Every soldier in each nation is tailored to be a living weapon with a limited lifespan of 10 years after which they die and are reborn without any of their memories.
The two main protagonists Noah and Mio, are both “off-seers” of the opposing forces. They carry the responsibility of sending off the soul of fallen soldiers by playing the flute. Noah is accompanied by his close friends Lanz and Eunie (best girl) while Mio is also accompanied by fellow comrades Sena and Taion. Oh, and there are also two Nopons named Riku and Manana, because of course it is.
Being on opposites sides of the war, Noah and Mio start off as enemies but upon releasing an ancient artifact, are able to become “Ouroboros”. These are powerful beings that formed as a result of an Interlink/fusion between two people imbued with the same power. They also soon find out that of all the bloodshed and violence, the war is being controlled by a secret organization called Moebius. Whether it’s trying to end the war, finding a true purpose behind life itself, or bringing about a world of peace, one thing is for sure: they need to find the answers. Thus starting our latest chronicle.
Flutes And Welsh Cat Girls

That’s a pretty long synopsis but it’s not even scratching the surface of the overall plot. I’ve always felt that the best JRPGs feel almost like fantasy epics and Xenoblade fits that definition of perfection. Its world it vast and alive. but also grim and heavy. If you didn’t like Xenoblade 2’s more lighthearted story, you’ll also be happy to know 3, while still having its fun moments take itself far more seriously, which in term made it far more gripping to see what will happen next.
The game never lets you forget that these are a group of child soldiers, who raised their whole life to fight and obey orders without question and have less than ten years to live, especially Mio who only has three months before her time comes. You can feel how it eats away at each of them on the inside and there are times when you really just want to give some of these guys a hug.
That being said also times were their laugh-out-loud hilarious. That’s a good thing mind you. The game strikes the right balance between intense bleakness and comic relief which made the story flow a lot easier. Said, comic relief can also make the dark scenes all the sadder, and trust me, they very much accomplish that job.

The game addiotnally puts a much stronger emphasis on the romance between Noah and Mio. I know some people tend to hate romance in JRPGs but Xenoblade 3 finally handles these elements far better to the point that I’d honestly say it has one of the best romances I’ve seen in gaming.
The two have great chemistry and watching them learn about the world and each other is truly touching. There are legitimately cutscenes in this game that could bring you to tears, something I’d really didn’t expect after how action-oriented Xenoblade 2 could be. I can’t say more than that without going into spoilers but if you’re a fan of more story-oriented RPGs, you’ll have a good time with this one.
The Ouroborous Arts

The combat of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 works more or less the same as the previous games. The game features MMO-style real-time action where you approach an enemy, draw your weapon, and begin auto-attacking them while charging up Arts (normal skills) and Talent Arts (ultimate skills) with different effects. That’s the basic idea at least because the combat gets far more complicated the more you progress through the game.
The barrage of tutorial scenes isn’t quite as bad as the last few games but it will take some time to understand each new mechanic you can use for battle.
You control seven party members are can be split into three primary classes: attacker, healer, and tank. That’s a lot more fighters on screen than the last game’s three (plus three blades). This is balanced out however by them all being a bit more fragile meaning that team coordination, positioning, and keeping your healer safe are important.

The powerful Chain Attacks also return from the past game and it’s way better executed than ever before. This is a super move kind of like an All-Out Attack in Persona games where all of your characters will beat an enemy in one full combo. The difference is that it’s a lot more strategic since you need to accumulate the right amount of Tactical Points (TP) to reach at least 100% before successfully executing an Order.
Once you do though, it’s incredibly satisfying. Laying an onslaught of attacks on that one boss for massive damage feels great every time.

A new addition to the game is by using The Ouroboros, you can perform an Interlink to fuse two characters and transform them into a more powerful being that looks kind of like a mix of a Gundam and a Power Ranger. In this form, you can access a more powerful set of Arts and won’t take damage, but there’s a time limit indicated by Heat Gauge where you can go into an Overheated state and need to wait a while before you can transform again. As far as invisibility forms go these are quite fun and give you a real sense of empowerment. I do wish they were a little longer though.
Much like its predecessor, I think the best aspect of Xenoblade’s combat is its flexible accessibility. When you start the game, the amount of mechanics can feel overwhelming but in truth, you can still get buy just by getting to know the basics. The game knows it’s asking a lot of players so most of the flashy, big damage moves are easy to pull off and they’re really all you need, at least on the normal difficulty.
If you want more or a challenge, take it hard and learn about technical points and elemental types. If you want it casual, no sweat, here are your chain attacks and ouroboros and you’re good to go. The game’s great at letting you play it the way you want.
In The Presence of Heroes

So how can you have seven party members when there are only six main characters? Well, that’s because one extra slot is reserved specifically for “Heroes”. These are basically the replacement of Blades in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. You can have additional party members that follow you into battle. Each Hero has their own backstory and personality with 19 to collect across the game by completing different quests.
While there aren’t as many Heroes as Blades in Xenoblade 2, I prefer them since they require so much less boring busy work. You don’t really need to invest in their skills tress or raise their affinity to make them battle-ready and they can pack a lot of damage. You also don’t get them through gacha. That alone makes them better than blades.
The World In The Clouds

Exploration has always been one of the main focuses of Xenoblade games with their grassy green meadows and crystal clear sky. While it’s not an open-world game, Monolith Soft sure knows how to create a living breathing world with a wild sense of scale, and Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is easily their biggest yet, rivaling Xenoblade Chronicles X in that regard.
There’s a lot more stuff that you can do and discover. My favorite thing to do is trying to reach every “?” around the map and see what events it leads you to. Sometimes it’s a boring fetch quest, sometimes you’ll find a new Hero for bonus EXP. As off-seers, Noah and Mio can also help the fallen soldiers to pass on which, alongside being incredibly somber, can also build affinity with the colonies they belonged to, in turn unlocking new skills and stat buffs.
It’s a small thing but you can also perform small activities at Rest Spots found throughout the world. These include things like crafting gems, cooking, discussing new topics, and even cleaning clothes (you don’t want to fight mechs while dirty do you?). It’s cute watching the characters interact and you do get rewards for these activities like new items to use in battle.

While the game is certainly gigantic, the navigation as a whole is improved. There’s a handy navigation feature that acts as a route guide that you can activate seamlessly at any time. This means the days of spending ages lost in the forest because the map won’t account for obstacles in your path are finally over. It’s very relieving and I’m very thankful for the update.
Blurs In The Blades

Here comes the not-as-good part of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 which is the technical performance on the Nintendo Switch.
I can safely say the game actually runs fine, minus the occasional FPS drop when visiting busy areas or when there’s too much stuff going on in battles, but it’s far from unplayable.
 That being said the graphics can be inconsistent. Don’t get me wrong, Xenoblade 3 looks amazing, especially in some story cutscenes, but the backgrounds and some items can be a bit on the blurry side. Nothing game-breaking but you do wish The Switch was a little more powerful to iron out these kinks. We can only hope Nintendo’s next console will allow Monolith Soft to cut loose.
Many people might also not like the English dub but I’ve personally always found the British voice acting charming and something that sets the series apart from other RPGs. Also, how can say no to Tsundere Welsh Cat Girls?
Final Thoughts

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is huge, the world is vast, the mechanics are complex and the characters are well-developed. It’s the full fantasy epic that JRPG fans long for. It delivers a powerful experience not only from its amazing story but also in a much more fleshed-out and richer gameplay experience. The Heroes are a vast improvement over Blades and combat continues to be deep yet casually accessible for all parties that wish to play.
If not for the occasional blurriness holding it back, it would be near perfect. Even then, however, this is probably the biggest Switch exclusive of the year and if you’re looking for the next big RPG to get lost in, the world of Xenoblade awaits you.

Gotham Knights reveals new gameplay for Nightwing and Red Hood

Warner Bros. Games just revealed new gameplay for their upcoming title, Gotham Knights, focusing on Nightwing and Red Hood. You can check out the 13 and a half minute-long video below:

Players can choose to play the game solo or co-op as one of four Knights—Nightwing, Robin, Red Hood and Batgirl. The gameplay video above showcased some of the gameplay differences between Nightwing and Red Hood, with the former possessing a more acrobatic fighting style and the latter favouring ranged combat with his dual guns.

Each of the Knights also has their own method to traverse the rooftops of Gotham quickly. Nightwing uses his glider, the Flying Trapeze while Red Hood uses Mystical Leap. The Knights can also ride the Batcycle to travel on the streets.
In the gameplay video, we also had a look at the Belfry, the base of operation for the Gotham Knights. In this segment, Nightwing and Red Hood could be seen walking around in plainsclothes without their costumes.

On the League IP in the SEA region, talking with Justin Hulog and Jennifer Poulson

For League‘s 10th anniversary media event, we got the chance to do several interviews. You can read up on Jia Tan and Jane Chen from R&D, or Chris Tran and Marc Johns as heads of Esports and Marketing respectively, for SEA, HK and TW.

With all these new properties branching out of the original League IP, it would be curious to know some insider thoughts on the potential of growth within a region like Southeast Asia, especially when it would be competing with other established games in the region. Mobile Legends comes to mind as one of its competitors. Jennifer says they see the huge potential of the region, hence making SEA a focus market.

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 103 – The Glory of The Barbie/Oppenheimer Double Feature

They want to have a bigger portfolio as a game company, that they can offer different experiences to players. They want something that can match to different playstyles, more so mobile. They understand the mobile market is incredibly vast in SEA, so putting a greater focus would pay off in delivering games directly to players in the region.

As for goals to accomplish within the year, they want to announce their games, which one could say they’ve already done. “Announcing and telling people about our pipeline is the first step so that we can actually start having conversations and start thinking on how we put the right team to service SEA correctly,” is an expressed sentiment. Jennifer is a new face to Riot, with other people to be announced later on. “We are looking for the brightest gaming talent in SEA to come and join our team so that we can better figure out how to serve our game effectively.”

Could we see an office in Malaysia then? They don’t think it necessary to have a physical presence per se, believing it more important to develop ways of listening and talking to players, then getting that feedback to game developers to implement the changes. Nevertheless, it’s not completely out of the question. They will be starting up with the Singapore headquarters and establish that first, with the right team.
From there, it’s figuring out the communication process, before having offices elsewhere. After all, a lot of the team is currently based in Los Angeles, and having a Singapore branch is a step in involving SEA in developing their games. While Garena will continue to publish League of Legends, Riot will be looking to self publish the rest of their games.

In regards to the next 10 years of League of Legends, Justin talks about Riot not thinking about games having “defined lifecycles”, so the following decade would be measured in the strength of links with the community, that they develop in a way that resonates with players. Taking Teamfight Tactics as an example, it managed to spin off into a different game thanks to great community response. The future of League depends on creating adequate touchpoints between them as a company, and with players, and with those in SEA.
It’s also about expanding the lore and universe, the overall IP. Things will continue to grow the way the community wants, and there’ll be other avenues of storytelling that would be open in the future. That way, people can get into the League universe in the near future through these new touchpoints.
Taking Wild Rift into consideration, while they can’t exactly answer about having different World Championships for that and PC League, having a strong playerbase is needed before a strong esports ecosystem. Sure, it would be easy to just have big prize pools for tournaments, but the health of the game should take priority before forming any professional scene. This would be evolving over time, for sure.

After all that, you may know of the sentiment of SEA players feeling not really being listened to, since League is published by Garena and not Riot directly within the region. The event and office in Singapore is the stepping stone towards improving the communication. They acknowledge it’s difficult for Garena to service players across the region “that makes sense for their business”. They can’t give specifics, but the future structure is said to be “pretty direct”. In the mean time, they will continue working closely with Garena. They don’t want to confine players to a specific forum in SEA, and intend to build teams to go to the players at their preferred communication platform. The forums themselves doesn’t matter; what does is a conversation that can bring change.
Speaking of regional things, yes, localization is in the works. Exact details depend on the game. Wild Rift is also meant to service China, so that will definitely be coming out in Chinese. Depending on what players want, more localized languages could be worked on. The new games are intended for global release, after all.
Players have plenty of League properties to look forward to in the coming years. Likewise, players can look forward having better chances of getting their voices heard. What are your thoughts?

Featuring a blend of Korean MMORPG aesthetics and Norse mythology, the game certainly seems promising. The trailer also shows what appears to be a warrior, rogue, sorceress, and priest in combat against monsters. Currently, not all of the classes for the game have been revealed. However, considering that is it an MMORPG, players can expect to see the MMORPG staple classes or their equivalent in the future.
Officially announced last year, Odin: Valhalla Rising is a new title by Lionheart Studios and Kakao Games, both based in Korea. The game will be available for PC and mobile, reportedly being able to support crossplay between the two platforms. The game will release later this year. Currently, Kakao Games has not revealed an official release date for Odin: Valhalla Rising.

In addition to the gameplay found in all of the Story of Seasons games, such as raising crops and caring for animals, a wide range of unique Doraemon-themed activities are available. These include using secret gadgets as well as new gameplay elements and a touching new story.

“Due to a strange confluence of circumstances, the friends find themselves transported to an unknown planet. There, they meet a boy named Lumis, and they agree to live and work on his farm to help him realize his dream. Together, they watch fireworks, gaze at the stars, and get up early to watch the sunrise. The days they spend together will be a treasure to be cherished forever.”
The storybook feel of the game’s world has been upgraded further by the addition of more realistic features including natural light, wind, and environmental sound effects. The game also depicts a wide array of stunning locations, from golden fields of wheat and the view of the distant horizon from the headlands to deep and mysterious forests which will all change as the seasons pass.

Gameplay-wise players can use Doraemon’s secret gadgets to make farming life more convenient. The ‘Mini Raincloud’ can be used to water your crops, while ‘Farm Restaurant’ can harvest them and create wonderful meals. The more secret gadgets you use, the more enjoyable your farm life will be.
The game also includes a multiplayer mode that will allow you and a friend to live your farming life together. In co-op, you can work the fields in tandem, including harvesting crops and other items that may not be achievable with just one person.

Doraemon Story Of Seasons: Friends of The Great Kingdom will be available for consoles and PC later this year.

My Hero Ultra Impact players upset as game goes into maintenance immediately upon launch

My Hero Ultra Impact has officially launched globally, but players are still unable to play the game as it immediately went into maintenance. The game has been on impromptu maintenance for over 4 hours now, leading to many players getting frustrated.

The game was originally planned to launch at 3.00 pm JST today. Players who logged in were met with a puzzle authentication that they have to complete, similar to Genshin Impact. However, no images for the puzzle would appear, making it nigh impossible to complete. A few minutes after 3.00 pm, the game has since gone under impromptu maintenance.

With no estimated end time for the maintenance, players are understandably upset. Players who try to get into the game will be met with the following notice:

On the Google Play Store, the game’s review score has dropped from 4.8 stars to nearly going under 4 stars. If Bandai Namco Entertainment doesn’t resolve the issue soon, chances are likely that the game’s score will drop even further.

Previously, a similar issue happened to the launch of Slime ISEKAI Memories, another mobile game from Bandai Namco. The game was playable for a few hours immediately upon launch, before being unable to be played by the majority of the player base for almost an entire day.

Lineage W to launch for smartphones

NCSoft has just announced Lineage W, a new entry in its popular MMORPG series, for the Android and iOS platforms. The game is scheduled to make its way to the PC as well.

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 103 – The Glory of The Barbie/Oppenheimer Double Feature

As part of the announcement, we are treated to a teaser website that reveals a bit more of the game’s concept, although no actual gameplay was shown. We will instead have to make do with the numerous cinematics which have been posted on the website and guess from there what the final product will be. One interesting to note is that there will be cross play between the mobile and PC, with details to be fleshed out at a later date.
In any case, NCSoft will be having a presentation on 19 August 2021, where it will further detail the game, including of course, actual gameplay. Although Lineage W is not the first game in the franchise to come to the mobile, it is the first one to feature cross play, which is always nice. That said, one does wonder how the control scheme will be since has to run well enough on the small screen. Genshin Impact, while not featuring crossplay, did have controls work on the mobile, so it does show that any game with fairly complex combat mechanics can be executed.

Nextbit acquired by Razer

According to a report by TechCrunch, Razer has just acquired Nextbit. For the uninitiated, Nexbit started off with its Kickstarter project in the form of a smartphone known simply as The Robin, which managed to raise USD 1.3 million from the crowd-funding platform.

Of course, by virtue of being gaming hardware company, Razer may wish to develop a gaming-centric smartphone, although as history as proven through the likes of the Nokia N-Gage and Sony Xperia PLAY, such devices may not be such a great idea.

Togetsu Rei Voice Actress Kanon Shizaki Stepping Down From D4DJ

D4DJ has announced that Kanon Shizaki, voice actress of the character Togetsu Rei will be stepping down from her role in the multimedia project.

In a statement today, the D4DJ gave no explicit reason for Kanon Shizaki resigning as the voice actress for Togetsu Rei, only that she would no longer be attached to the project.

“We regret to inform you that due to various circumstances, Kanon Shizaki will be stepping down from the role of Rei Togetsu in the D4DJ multimedia project and all its related works”, the statement reads.
They also haven’t announced any future casting plans for the character, though we can expect more information on that down the line.

Kanon also features in the BanG Dream series, where she voices the keyboardist for the unit Roselia, Shirokane Rinko as well as playing the role during their on-stage performances as well.
No announcement has been made about her continued involvement in BanG Dream as of the time of writing.

Bushiroad’s multimedia projects are far more intense than a simple voice acting gig- on top of voicing the characters in any anime appearances, they’ll also have to prepare voicelines for the gacha game, as well as rehearse for any stage appearances.
Considering Kanon’s double-dose of responsibilities by also being involved with BanG Dream, this could simply be related to reducing her workload, since she was previously diagnosed with Vocal Cord Edema.
That being said, Bushiroad have neither confirmed nor denied that her stepping down was because of her prior health issues.

Tower of Saviors and Kimetsu no Yaiba coming soon

Tower of Saviors will have its collaboration event with Demon Slayer / Kimetsu no Yaiba soon, whenever that is. The collab was confirmed back in January, with previews posted over on the game’s official Instagram. We have Tanjiro, of course, alongside Zenitsu and Inosuke as the Kimetsu no Yaiba representatives thus far for Tower of Saviors.

The Instagram post notes that the collab will go live in version 19.8, where the characters will take on a variety of challenging demon slaying missions. The post also says that “All relevant events and rewards of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba are Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand exclusive only.”.

It seems rather unfortunate that it’s only limited to certain regions, but licensing issues to be like that. With the three lads revealed so far, and no date for the update, we could see Nezuko also eventually joining the lineup, or whoever else they decide to throw in to the gacha.

Playstation Fixes Discount ‘Error’ With Asian PS Plus Accounts

The overhauled tier-based PlayStation Plus (PS Plus) subscription service was launched the week in Asian regions including Malaysia, however many users have reported problems with upgrades erasing discount subscription prices.

Playstation has announced on Twitter that this was an ‘error’ and should now be fixed.

Players who were affected will be compensated with credits.

Due to a technical error, players in Asia who have previously purchased a PlayStation Plus membership at a discount have been incorrectly charged for their upgrade pricing. This error has been fixed and impacted players will receive a credit. We thank you for your patience.

— Ask PlayStation (@AskPlayStation) May 25, 2022

According to Twitter user @PS5India (vie PushSquare), a Thai Playstation user confirmed that the service was corrected following the Playstation Twitter announcement.

Well I’ll be a monkey’s uncle. One Thai user (/u/mrculi) is reporting that their Deluxe upgrade is no longer requiring them to compensate Sony for their PS+ discount. First image is from Monday, second is today. pic.twitter.com/8sBObvn3hp
— Is PS5 Out in India? 🇺🇦 (@PS5India) May 25, 2022

When the new PS Plus service was launched, Asian players found a problem. If they purchased PS Plus using a discount, for example, a Chinese New Year 30% off discount, the service would now ask them to compensate for that 30% if they try to upgrade to a higher PS Plus tier. This comes in the form of an extra fee when purchasing the upgrade. Many users decried this as greedy and disingenuous on PlayStation’s part.
On Wednesday an email from Playstation Hong Kong was posted to Resetera (via VGC) which implies that the discount erasure that implies that it was an official policy. This suggests that perhaps Playstation has backtracked on discount compensation after seeing how unpopular it was and is now claiming it to be an error.
Whether it genuinely was an error or Playstation was forced to change it upon getting caught, it is good that the problem has been fixed, especially before the new service came to other regions.
That being said, they have not fixed another problem with the service involving account stacking. If a player ‘stacks’ their PS Plus subscription, meaning that pay for the subscription for multiple years. If they wish to upgrade to higher PS Plus tiers they will be charged for the entire duration that they are subscribed.
It is not possible for a person to upgrade to PS Plus Extra for one year and then go back down to PS Plus Essential the next.

Sony announces its first mobile exclusive IP, Aida of Sky and Sea

To capitalise on the oh-so-very lucrative mobile games market, Sony formed ForwardWorks, a studio dedicated to making to what it calls ‘full-fledged’ mobile games. We now have the name of its first IP in the form of Aida of Sky and Sea, which is accompanied by a rather pretty trailer.

All we are able to get from Aida of Sky and Sea so far is that it takes place in the future, when there are no longer any fish in the sea. For some unknown reason, humanity then decided to set up huge fish tanks. In space. Enter you, the player, who has been placed in charge of six girls, as you are tasked with catching said fish. In space.

The trailer does not give away what kind of game this will be, so your guess will be as good as ours. From what little screenshots that have been posted on the official website, there seems to be a lot of tapping involved, which seems par for the course for a mobile game, and as such does not really say anything. Expect more information on the game to trickle in, although for the time being, you can pre-register (link below).

Castle Burn Review – A pleasantly entertaining entry to the Clash Royale genre

Clash Royale has been so successful that even inspires many other games modelling its formula, and Castle Burn appears to be one of them. Before its official launch (which the date is undecided yet), we are lucky to be given a chance to try out the game beforehand so here is our Castle Burn review.

The graphics of the game is pleasant to look at, not the best quality but good enough for a game in portrait mode. Its overall user interface is well-designed, however (in my opinion) it should have been better if the “Battle” button is placed at somewhere middle instead of the very last corner of the whole display. Well, I kinda faced difficulties in finding that button.Talking about the gameplay, it is similar to Clash Royale but with its own twist – more emphasis on economy. You start a battle with only a main castle, then you will slowly build up your base and units with the aim of destroying opponent’s castle. Building camp increases capacity and expands territory, while building mana sanctum collects mana continuously.

Mana management should be your main focus, as you will be in big disadvantage if you are lacking mana to build up units (especially if you are under attack). Capacity (numbers of units you can have at a time) is also important to take care of, following by your cards selection.

Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

You can add your card selection to your deck (maximum 6) as you play (requires mana too). Stronger/higher tier units unlock according to your castle tier, which it will upgrade automatically after you add 2 cards to the deck. Noted that once you make your selection it is unchangeable, so think before you add. You can also bring one of the 4 heroes into your battle, their unique skills will help you a lot in the battle (even leads you to victory).

The battle mode separates into casual and ranked match, winning a ranked match gives you a victory card pack (coins and cards inside). There are Quests to keep you busy too and you can get a card pack by completing any of it. Also, a free card pack will be available every few hours (4 if I not mistaken).

The interesting part of the game is that you will know what your opponent has in their hands (you can see their cards) but you can’t see the units coming until they step in your visible area (due to the territory vision). This makes the battle more intense because you just can’t prepare a counterattack. But at the last, the one who manages his/her resources and units better will always get the victory. You know what to do right?

Castle Burn is now in soft-launch stage for Android in the Philippines, while Australia and Thailand iOS users can experience the game very soon. No specific date of official launch yet, but since I had a blast playing it, I recommend you to try it out when it is available in your country too!

While the PS5 version of Genshin Impact has been announced, they haven’t settled on a release date. Instead, the trailer only says the next-gen update is coming soon.
“The PlayStation®5 is an ideal platform to enhance the vast open world featuring in Genshin Impact, allowing the team to incorporate more thoughts and ideas into the game, both now and in the future,” said Forrest Liu, President of miHoYo. “That’s why we’ve been working to bring the native PlayStation®5 version of the game to our players as soon as we could.”

It’s not like fans who’d already owned a PS5 have had to go back to their own console to play the game, since the game’s been playable via Backwards Compatibility, where players get access to better load times thanks to the SSD. However, miHoYo says that the PS5 native version will include improved textures, as well as 4K support.
However, no mention was made if it would use any of the DualSense’s unique features, such as haptic feedback or adaptive triggers.

The Westward: Burning Soul announced by Tencent

Tencent Games announced a new mobile game based on the Journey to the West comic by Hong Kong comic writers Zheng Jianhe and Deng Zhihui, dubbed The Westward: Burning Soul. It’s not the first mobile game adaptation the comic has received, previously also having at least one other in Westward M, by Abjuice.

Tencent also announced The Westward: Burning Soul today.

It is a mobile game based on the comic IP of the same name which also has a popular TV animation. It is the first core game developed by Kuaishou's echo game studio.

The Westward: Burning Soul seems to be a third person action RPG. It certainly looks much more visually impressive compared to Westward M‘s take, with various locations fully rendered, various attack combos and skill effects flying about, larger than life bosses and of course, flashy moves. From the teaser, there appears to be a fighting game-esque PVP mode, with two characters per player. Check out some of the screenshots taken from the preview below:

As with many China releases, it’ll be pretty up in the air about whether if it’ll be made available internationally. Sure, the comic may not be well known outside of Asian circles, but considering the explosive popularity of something like Black Myth: Wukong, the tales as a whole can be considered pretty universal.
The game will be conducting its first closed beta test on 2 June 2021, so keep an eye out to learn more.

Bloober Team, well-known for creating horror games such as Layers of Fear, The Medium, and Observer, are developing a new survival-horror game to be published by Private Division. The title is in early development and does not yet have an announced release date. It is not expected to launch before calendar 2025. Private Division and Bloober Team look forward to sharing more details about this game in the future.
“Our next project is an exciting new survival-horror game, which will help us become a leader in the horror industry at large,” said Piotr Babieno, Chief Executive Officer of Bloober Team. “I am grateful for this cooperation with Private Division. Their expertise is extensive, and their people are also very approachable. We don’t perceive them in a typical ‘publisher-developer’ relationship; they’re more like a friend who shows us support or keeps us in line when we need it most.”
Private Division Development Fund
Alongside the publishing agreement with Bloober Team, Private Division has also announced the Private Division Development Fund. This fund provides a new vehicle to support projects from smaller developers with project financing and to empower these teams to self-publish their games. The label has committed to supporting several developers in bringing their creative visions to life under the Private Division Development Fund, including Die Gute Fabrik, Radical Forge, and Lost Native.
“Since we announced Private Division five years ago, we’ve seen a number of promising game ideas from smaller teams that didn’t quite fit with our full-fledged publishing model,” said Blake Rochkind, Head of Business Development at Private Division. “We knew we could not simply have a one-size-fits-all approach in today’s world. We never like to say ‘no’ to an incredible game concept due to the size of the project, and the Private Division Development Fund enables us to identify and support some of the best creative ideas our industry has to offer.”
Today marks the 5th anniversary of Private Division’s announcement as a new publishing label within Take-Two, and to commemorate the occasion the team has released a Private Division Label Update Video. Showcasing the talent, passion, and creativity that makes Private Division and the teams they partner with stand out, this video features the Label’s publishing team, internal studios, and recently signed developers that will drive the Private Division forward in the years to come.
