Mobile Legends crosses RM4 billion revenue in 2022 since launch

Since its launch in July 2016, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang has raked in USD 945 million (about RM 4.2 billion) in revenue as of July 2022.

While the United States leads the pack in terms of countries with the highest spending at USD 146 million (about RM 650 million), the majority of the game’s earnings come from Southeast Asia, where it accumulated as much as USD 522 million (about RM 2.3 billion), according to data from AppMagic. The SEA region contributed more than 50% of the game’s worldwide gross since day one.

In Asia, Malaysia is the most profitable country for Mobile Legends, where players have spent USD 134 million (about RM 596 million) on the game. The Philippines is next, spending USD 122 million (about RM 541 million), followed by Indonesia with USD 113 million (about RM 504 million).

It’s also worth noting that Android users in Malaysia spent far more money on the game at USD 101 million (about RM 447 million), as compared to iOS users who spent USD 33 million (about RM 148 million).

In terms of downloads, the mobile game is the most widely downloaded in Indonesia, with 190 million downloads, followed by Philippines (76 million), Malaysia (26 million), United States (12 million) and Singapore (2.5 million). Even though Singapore’s playerbase is far smaller compared to Indonesia, the average revenue per user is about 27.46 USD, as opposed to Indonesia’s ARPU of 11.64 USD.
The SEA Supremacy of Mobile Legends
While the MOBA genre on PC where it originated from is dominated by the likes of League of Legends and Dota 2, on mobile, the most successful mobile MOBA in terms of revenue is Honor of Kings, which is repeatedly the highest earning mobile game in recent years thanks to its huge popularity in China.
However, in SEA, the mobile MOBA landscape is where Mobile Legends reign supreme. Despite rising competition from the League of Legends mobile port Wild Rift, MLBB is still the most popular choice for players in the region.

Comparing Wild Rift‘s and Mobile Legends‘ earnings in Malaysia, the former only earned a measly USD 1.9 million (around RM 8.7 million), as opposed to the latter’s USD 134 million (about RM 596 million). Granted, Wild Rift only released in Malaysia towards the end of 2020, but the difference is staggering.
Of course, it helps that game also has a strong esports presence in the region. Mobile Legends is an official sports category in the SEA Games, the biggest sporting event in the region.
To conclude, with Mobile Legends earning a revenue of RM 4 billion in 6 years, it seems unlikely that its dominance in SEA will change towards the second half of 2022 and possibly the coming years.

Orient Arcadia, Chinese-style RPG to launch Spring 2022

Qookka Games is set to launch their mobile RPG, Orient Arcadia, in Japan in Spring 2022. As the name suggests, its story and style is highly reminiscent of typical Chinese / wuxia aesthetics. Pre-registrations are live, offering premium currency, SSR guaranteed ticket and a limited icon frame at milestones up to 400,000 users.

As the story goes, the spiritual energy of opposing dragons created both a land and leaving behind relics with mysterious powers, said to give one the power to rule the world. The protagonist is an ordinary guy who arrived at this certain “Utopia of the Orient” by chance, encountering both monsters and heroes and somehow saving the world. And still, he will need to confront his fate of apparently becoming a demon king…

Orient Arcadia doesn’t appear to have a very complicated game system, where you field a party of 6 into battle, the strategy coming from team composition and their position. Interestingly, characters can be easily swapped in and out, with the replacement inheriting the stats of the previous unit. There are also mini games and the usual “bond with your characters” mechanics.

The Hard Drive Trends On Twitter Following Repeated Burning Of Elon Musk

The Hard Drive, a gaming satire site that posts articles akin to The Onion, has made Twitter’s trending list following a public row with Elon Musk.

It all started with Elon Musk’s habit of posting pictures of The Hard Drive articles, refusing to credit the original source, which The Hard Drive called him out on repeatedly.

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

The straw that broke the camel’s back came in the form of a Hard Drive article titled Zodiac Killer Letter Solved By Opening It With VLC Media Player, which Musk did as he does by posting photos of it without crediting the site.
The Hard Drive replied to Elon Musk’s tweet, promising to “give him a horse”, a reference to Musk’s sexual harassment scandal where the billionaire allegedly showed a SpaceX flight attendant his penis and wannted to give her a horse.

Musk of course tried to clap back at the parody account but was ratioed repeatedly, considering you can’t buy comedy and legally name yourself funny.

well you're the expert on SNL's bad days pic.twitter.com/Ysb5oJsRBK
— Hard Drive (@HardDriveMag) May 30, 2022

The Twitter feud has resulted in a lot of support for the Hard Drive, enough to get the name of the publication trending on Twitter.
“hard drive trending nationally? congrats to all gamers“, reads the Hard Drive Twitter, in response to the news.
The publication also went on a victory lap, publishing a sardonic “apology” on their website titled Hard Drive Apologizes to Elon Musk for Dunking on Him Too Hard.
Meanwhile, while Elon Musk has since deleted the offending tweet, the internet isn’t quite letting him live this down:
“Elon keeps stealing shit from Hard Drive Mag and goes full meltdown right wing culture warrior when called out on it. If they’re so unfunny and woke why does he keep stealing their shit“, writes Twitter user steinkobbe.
Jeremy Kaplowitz, editor for the Hard Drive, posted his own thoughts on the row, which sees many of Musk’s critics enjoying some fine schadenfreude.

“Is posting @HardDriveMag articles without credit the worst thing that Elon Musk has done?”, he asks. “Not even close. but is it fun that we probably made the richest man on earth feel shitty today? a little bit, yea. a little bit”

Despite his rabid fanbase in some circles, Elon Musk remains deeply unpopular in others- an attempt to kiss up to the billionaire by Genshin Impact was cancelled for exactly this reason, after it was revealed that actual gamers with a sense of internet awareness tended to not think too highly of the man.

Tales of Luminaria First Impressions – Is it my screen?

I’m not a massive Tales series fan myself, but it has always interested me over the years. Tales of Luminaria is the latest release for mobile, boasting a staggering 21 protagonists, each with episodes centering around them. Unlike the previous mobile offerings, this one doesn’t have, say, a self-insert of sorts who will be interacting with the cast of its predecessors. It’s entirely new, and gives me the impression of giving a low-ish barrier of entry to those completely unfamiliar with the storied JRPG franchise, without needing to wonder why Yuri Lowell and Leon Magnus have been blacklisted from popularity polls. I mean, besides any late arrival spoilers.

PRESENTATION
Players would typically expect a landscape view, but Luminaria is portrait only. It’s not a big deal to me, personally, but I know that many others asked about it considering it was addressed in their Q&A video. I tried out the Japanese release, which as promised, came out earlier than the global version. I could play it with English text, with the voices in English. I assume the game uses your device’s language settings, so there was no “gaming” the system, so to speak. The Q&A did mention the worldwide release will only be featuring the English dub, though adding Japanese because of fan demand was on the table.

A cutscene.
The English voice actors perform their roles well enough, so it’ll be preference if you think their voices are somehow unsuited to the characters. As a self-professed “weeb”, I will certainly appreciate the Japanese cast more. Besides that, my Poco X3 struggles a little on medium quality graphics; the game does remind me of its console brethren, with the 3D models / cutscenes and rendered environments.
The user interface is kind of interesting too. The main menu lays out everything at once, and you can keep scrolling to see characters at a glance, or maybe missions here and there, or current events. If you find that too cluttered, just use the tabs at the top. You can change how your characters look with some accessories and the outfits / weapons you get from the gacha, which I initially thought was only limited to accessories.

The opening song is a banger, by the way.
GAMEPLAY
It’s basically an action RPG played vertically. As an idea, it’s pretty novel. Its execution, however, leaves much to be desired. The verticality makes it feel like there’s not much room to properly maneuver. You need to flick to dodge, but I don’t feel like it’s responsive enough. The attack commands also appear limited to the one tiny tap area in the bottom center of the screen which seems like a massive oversight when you likely would have moved around with your finger away from that area.

In the world, you run around and fight enemies you may come across. Countering is possible, with a prompt that pops up above the enemy, and a slow-down on your screen. Your other combat options include active Artes attached to your equipped weapon, and Mystic Artes on your outfit, besides your regular combos and charged attacks. That aspect is not complicated, for better or worse.
In a character’s Episode, you’ll find it broken up into chunks, to serve as checkpoints to auto-save and allow you to return another time. The map will be mostly linear, though you can go slightly out of the way to destroy barrels / crates for items, find shards of premium currency, or gather up items besides monster drops. You can come across these “cracks” for Secret Missions, which are basically challenges. For what it’s worth, the scene transitions are mostly seamless, though perhaps the model quality could be improved.

Then there are multiplayer raids, where 4 persons can hop in to take on a boss. If you’re defeated, someone else can come revive you within a certain amount of time, but otherwise you’ll have to stay down. It seems like healing that isn’t from food is attached to getting certain weapons, which seems alarmingly bad for people who would want to play a support role. Why do none of them start with a healing Mystic Arte?? Speaking of food, a character can have their favoured foods to have it be more effective on them, though the cooking itself is pretty much a matter of just getting the ingredients.
GACHA
At a 5% rate for 5-stars, it seems pretty generous. Thing is, there are 21 characters you could potentially get equipment for because this is an equipment gacha game. Weapons and accessories can be shared across multiple people without issue, so it’s a matter of getting their outfits for stats or Mystic Artes. Each duplicate of a piece of equipment raises its level and therefore their power. It’s 300 currency for a 10-pull.

It could be worse I suppose, as in the universal items get locked to only a single character instead of getting shared around. It’s whatever.
The game currently offers a daily free summon, that gets upgraded to guarantee a 4-star with a premium pass. I guess that’s nice?
VERDICT
I admit I bounced off really hard Tales of Luminaria. It’s not even a matter of “I hate it because they won’t let me use the Japanese dub”, it simply feels awkward to play. Maybe the game would have benefited from a beta testing period, who can say?
It’s not for me, that’s for sure.

On top of that, the anime opening was also previously voted the definitive anime song of the Heisei Era. Yoko Takahashi, the song’s singer, took to twitter to thank fans for their continued support.

While it remains ever-popular in Japan, Neon Genesis Evangelion recently got a spike in global interest after the series was licensed for streaming by Netflix. This featured an improved english dub, as well as a controversial editing of the game’s subtitles and ending theme.
A Cruel Angel’s Thesis also beat out several other iconic anime songs in the poll, such as God Knows from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. The list wasn’t all old anime, as newer fans managed to get Snow Halation from Love Live and Gurenge from Demon Slayer on the list as well.

“Spriggan” – A type of underground business born from the diversity that is the Calvard Republic. At times as a detective, at times as a negotiator, at other times as a bounty hunter, they accept all types of requests from anyone. Subcontract work from the police on request that they can’t handle, consultations about things “can’t see the light of day” from civilians, even “legitimate” requests from criminals and underground groups. That is the way of those that are called the “Spriggan”.
The year is 1208 of the Septian Calendar. In the slums of the capital city of Calvard, in a rundown old building, a refined looking girl wearing the uniform of renowned school was paying visit. “Arkride Resolution Office” She stared dignified at the simple letters on the plate. She swallowed audibly and knocked on the door three times … “(YAAAWN), a visitor before lunch… that’s unusual…” At a glance, lazy but composed, seemingly mature but rather quite the young man’s voice rang out and the doorknob turned slowly. -Here is the beginning of a new “Trails (story)”.

Trigun Stampede Announced, A New Anime From The Makers of Beastars

A new anime based on Yasuhiro Nightow’s manga Trigun has been announced under the title of Trigun Stampede.

The anime will start airing in 2023 and will be simulcasted by Crunchyroll in over 200 countries.

Key art from the official website
Trigun follows the adventures of Vash The Stampede, a notorious outlaw with a $$60 billion double-dollar bounty on his head. We soon find out however that Vash is nowhere near as vicious as his reputation would have you believe. It’s just that he has a bad habit of leaving any town he visits in a state of chaos, even though it’s usually not his fault.
The new anime is being produced by the animation studio Orange. They are most well known for their work on the critically acclaimed anime Beastars and Land of the Lustrous. Both shows are well known for being CGI-heavy titles that actually look really good, proving that CGI can work well in anime when used right. Hopefully, Trigun Stampede will continue this trend.

This will be the second time that Trigun is adapted into an anime. The first adaption was the 1998 anime by Studio Madhouse, generally considered a classic and often appearing on many ‘best anime of all time’ lists.
A tie-in animated movie called ‘Trigun: Badlands Rumble’ later premiered in 2010, over tens of years after the original anime.
The dub by Animaze is also credited with launching the career of Johnny Yong Bosch (Ichigo from Bleach, Lelouch from Code Geass, Adachi from Persona 4) in anime voice acting when he was cast as Vash. It would be great if they could get him to reprise the role if the new anime gets a dub.
Crunchyroll will hold a panel at Anime Expo on July 2nd which will reveal more about the anime.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok Review – Into the Muspel Frying Pan

Related Posts

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

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

Dawn of Ragnarok is the third major expansion to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. That bombastic name is somewhat of a precursor to the content that awaits, because it’s easily the biggest one, a size that can rival a standalone Assassin’s Creed game with a potential 30 over hours of gameplay. Do check out our earlier preview here.

As you might expect, this review will contain spoilers if you haven’t finished the base Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Compared to the previous expansions, Dawn of Ragnarok is much more of a standalone experience. From the menu itself, they give the option for you to jump straight into Ragnarok. The story itself features an Eivor who’s become Odin, so new players are definitely recommended to play through the base game first. Besides all the late-arrival spoilers, there are also restrictions if you’re solely playing the Dawn of Ragnarok as a standalone.

and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

You’re only allowed to start from Svartalfhheim at Power Level 340, without access to the open world of the base game and a limited selection of weapons, besides missing out on any key plot points. Still, despite the limitations, it’s still a welcome feature especially if you’re someone who has yet to complete the main game. Power Level 340 is pretty high up there itself, with almost all of the Skills and Abilities unlocked.
Dawn of Ragnarok is the latest chapter of Eivor’s adventures as Odin, the Norse God of Battle and Wisdom. We start off with Eivor travelling to the realm of Svartalfheim in order to confront Surtr, an immortal giant king who kidnapped their son, Baldr. Despite all their power, Eivor finds themselves powerless against Surtr, who’s backed by an army of ruthless Muspel people. Taking on the name of “Havi” for this story, Havi must learn of Surtr’s weakness, while aiding the displaced dwarves in the realm.

The story picks up quite quickly and is quite easy to follow even if you haven’t much context. Depending on your tolerance for some cheese and cliches, it feels like the more emotionally charged moments can fall flat, which is unfortunate.
IN SVARTALFHEIM
In this beautiful – and hostile – kingdom, this realm is home to dwarves currently being invaded by Surtr’s Muspels. There’s plenty of surprises awaiting even veteran players, allowing for some freshness to the gameplay structure as you work to adapt to the environment. Earning the dwarves’ trust is key as you need their knowledge to rescue Baldr, and the war has scattered them across the realm in exile. It’s up to Havi to be their beacon of hope.

Since they are invading, get used to seeing the Muspels standing in your way. The living magma aren’t especially tough, but they still pack quite the punch. In the mix are archetypes like Flame Keepers who can resurrect their fallen allies, or manifestations of Surtr’s fury that will rush at you and explode. Individually, they’re manageable. As a group, their aggressiveness could potentially combo you into death, so watch your step.
Svartalfheim is absolutely gorgeous as a set piece. Exploring it, however, doesn’t have the same majesty. The structure may have changed up a little, but the things to actually do haven’t really differed from clearing enemy camps, finding settlements and other things that already exist in the main game. It is nicer to have a smaller map regardless, as navigation is easier even without overt hints or waymarkers. Work those observation skills!
GAMEPLAY
The basic gameplay loop and controls remains the same: good for veterans, but there are no tutorials for anyone opting into the standalone completely fresh for whatever reason. The hazards like lava pools in combat areas add wrinkles to the same old systems, since stepping into them by accident as you’re trying to strafe is pretty much saying goodbye to your health.

The dwarves will be your BFFs when you help them out, as they’ll gift you a new toy in a bracer early in the story. This unlocks Hugr-Rip, letting you steal your enemies’ powers. Peruse your fallen foes to add new tricks to your combat repertoire, and you’re highly encouraged to do so since they’re incredibly useful. Those lava pools? Unlock Power of Muspelheim and become immune to them and avoid embarrassing deaths, while also transforming into a Muspel yourself to help you blend in with your enemies. Other powers can further aid this sneaky assassin play, such as teleportation and animal shapeshifting. Maybe this might feel too “high fantasy”, but considering the setting and the franchise’s action stealth roots, it’ll do just fine.

Hugr powers can be activated at any time, at the cost of a blue “energy” meter, shall we say. This bar needs to be refilled manually, which you can do so by sacrificing a portion of Havi’s health at a Yggdrasil Shrine, or obtaining Hugr Bloom essence from the flowers scattered all over the world. Naturally, the skill tree sees an expansion with more abilities to learn, including strengthening your Hugr-Rip. It won’t be easy as the materials asked of you are quite rare – Silica, for one – which is obtainable only from dangerous Raid missions.
Depending on how you choose to play, the skills can definitely fudge the difficulty some, besides reacclimating to the controls. Revisiting this from, say, Elden Ring, can make it feel easy, hampered a little by slightly more janky controls like when dodging. The lock-on can disappear if your target is moving too fast if you were dependent on it. The parry has a very generous window in Valhalla, and it can even allow you to stun-lock foes. That’s not even mentioning how absurdly strong the bow seems to be even with a mere flick. Nonetheless, there is still fun to be had in the “easy” and “messy” combat.

IN CLOSING
Assassin’s Creed has come a long way from its humble beginnings, and the direction the series is taking right now appears to be staying. It can be tough to balance the elements your old time fans have come to love, while still adding distinct flavour to keep it fresh. They’ve still managed to pack a lot of stuff into Dawn of Ragnarok on top of an already massive open world game, qualifying it for one of the biggest of its kind yet, with hundreds of hours to trawl through.

The Treasure Hunt
In this game, the player will be enrolling in even Naranja (Scarlet) or Uva (Violet) Academy as a student. Here you are tasked with an independent study project called ‘The Treasure Hunt. The mission is to simply find a treasure.
There are three grand stories in the game where you can attend to find ‘treasure. One of these stories is the Gym Battle challenges. Unlike previous games, however, you can challenge the gyms in any order you want.
They didn’t say what the other two stories are however you can start either one from the very beginning of the game.
New characters

The overview also introduced us to a number of new characters. In addition to the previously revealed Professor Sada and Turo, there will also be the academia director Clavell and homeroom teacher Jacq.
In terms of students, you’ll meet Namona who loves to battle, Arven who likes to cook, and Penny a shy student in your grade.
We’ve also been introduced to the ice-type gym leader Grusha.
New Pokemon

For new pokemon, they introduced a new regional form with Paldean Wooper who seems to be based on a mudskipper.
There’s also a new good boy dog pokemon called Fidough, who as the name implies is incredibly squishy.
Finally, there’s a walking narwal-like monster called Cetitan who has a large horn.
The Terastal Phenminon

The overview ended by introducing the new evolution gimmick of the generation called the terastal phenomenon which makes pokemon shine like gems and gives them cute little headwear like a bouquet for grass types and a candle for fire types.
This boosts the become’s type and makes their moves stronger. Some pokemon can also change their type when they terastalize which is based on their ‘tera type’. Most pokemon’s tera type will be the same as their regular type however certain members of a species could have different tera types.
While evolution gimmicks tend not the used in competitive play, being able to change types could be pretty interesting for those that play Pokemon more seriously.
Like with Dynamaxing in gen 8, there will also be raid battles with the Teralistlized pokemon.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will be available for Nintendo Switch on the 18th of November 2022.

Metal Slug: Awakening unveiled by Tencent

Metal Slug: Awakening seems to be the official name for Metal Slug Code: J, that was announced in June 2020, as authorized by SNK, under development by Tencent Games’ subsidiary, TiMi Studios. You can check out the trailers for Metal Slug: Awakening and Metal Slug Code: J below:

A closed beta test for the title will be commencing in June for China, with details to follow at a later date. Considering the official SNK Youtube posted the original trailer, we should probably expect this one to arrive internationally eventually. The newest preview doesn’t include what could be assumed to be the game’s hub area, with NPCs, shops and the like milling about, where you can also presumably run into other players.

Nioh Collection review – rediscovering Nioh and Nioh 2 in 4K HD

As the next-gen upgrade to the Nioh games, we decided to review the Nioh Collection and how it stacks up against the originals.

The Nioh Collection is a bundle of Nioh Remastered – The Complete Edition and Nioh 2 Remastered – The Complete Edition. As these are two separate games, this review will not focus on the story of the Nioh Collection. We will cover the differences and changes between the original PS4 games and the PS5 versions from the Nioh Collection. If you are interested in the story or gameplay mechanics, check out our review of Nioh 2 instead.

This is our review of the Nioh Collection on the PS5.

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

Graphics
The original Nioh and Nioh 2 on the PS4 support two different graphic modes, action mode and movie mode. The former focuses more on better frame rates while the latter supports higher-quality graphics.
However, the Nioh Collection allows players to choose from three different modes. There is the 4K mode, 120 FPS mode and PS5 Console Standard Mode. Obviously, the 4K mode and 120 FPS mode require monitors which support 4K HD and the necessary frame rate.
Note that the 120 FPS mode captures quality in 1080p resolution. The PS5 Console Standard mode is somewhat of a middle option between the other two modes, offering a balance between graphics and performance. Also, when taking in-game screenshots, the game will switch to 4K mode.
When comparing the graphics between the original Nioh and its equivalent in the collection, it is crystal clear that the PS5 version is vastly superior. When playing in both 4K and Console Standard Modes, your character model and environments have much greater detail. Shadows also appear a lot more life-like and realistic. However, do note that the 120 FPS mode is about the same graphics-wise as the original on the PS4.
For Nioh 2, the difference is not as obvious. Considering that the original Nioh 2 released just last year, the improvement in graphics is somewhat minimal.

Load times
By far, this is the greatest improvement in the Nioh Collection. The PS5’s high-speed SSD was definitely put to good use.
When we timed how long loading would take in the original, it takes about 15 seconds for a level to completely load. Note that this is just an average as different levels also have different load times. Also, this was tested on a PS4, not a PS4 Pro, so hardware is also another factor that affects load times.
In comparison to 15 seconds, the PS5 version will not take more than 3 seconds to load any level. The difference is like night and day. Upon pressing a button, the screen turns black. One would expect that a loading screen will pop up, but instead, the level already loaded. As a result, some of the loading screens with level descriptions disappear entirely and is replaced by a quick black screen.
Furthermore, the load times when respawning after death has drastically reduced. The PS5 version only takes 1 second to load each time we die which is perfect for players who tend to die a lot. Great news for speedrunners looking to perfect their craft!

Controllers
Another cool feature is how the PS5 DualSense controllers feel when playing the game. The adaptive trigger capabilities of the controller are clearly felt when using the R2 and L2 buttons.
Thus, archery feels a lot better with the PS5 version. The weight of pulling a bow feels apparent. Even the weight of the trigger of a gun feels realistic. For those who prefer feeling the sensation of a blade slicing through soft flesh, there is also stronger feedback from the controller while doing just that. As a result, overall immersion is greatly enhanced.
While this feature is very neat, some players may not prefer to feel the adaptive triggers at work every time. Playing the game for extended hours can cause finger fatigue after all. Thankfully, players can turn off this feature or adjust the degree of feedback in the options settings.

Closing
Overall, playing the Nioh Collection on the PS5 is a more enjoyable experience than playing the original two games on the PS4. New and returning players should definitely consider the Nioh Collection.
Furthermore, the Nioh Collection allows players to transfer their data from the PS4 to PS5. As such, even if you do not own the PS5, you can purchase the collection and upgrade to the PS5 version for free should you ever decide to buy the console.
You can get the Nioh Collection on the PlayStation Store.

Tencent’s Call of Duty Mobile is now in closed beta, screenshot leaked

Back in early August, we have reported about the partnership announcement between Tencent and Activision, where they will be developing an original Call of Duty mobile title for China. The game is now in its closed beta phase and unsurprisingly, a few leaked information has surfaced on the social media.

*Update: The game is now soft-launched!
Check out the leaked screenshots below:

Judging from the screenshots, it does feature elements from the previous Call of Duty titles including the iconic multiplayer maps from Black Ops and Black Ops 3. The graphics are looking good (almost comparable to console quality) too, so you may expect it to perform its best only on high-end mobile devices.

The game is said to be released for Android devices in China in the coming months. We will keep updating about the game so stay tuned!

It’s another gacha game! Characters range from 1- to 5-star rarity, likewise with weapons and armour. Each character has a weapon and armour slot. When you get a dupe, it will limit break the character, so it’s another matter of luck for you to get repeats to upgrade them. You can limit break them up to four times. The game is not fully voiced, with only characters at 3-star rarity and above getting introductory lines in the gacha. Likewise, the story doesn’t have full voice either.

Battle is pretty standard: up to six characters will be on the field on the left, monsters coming in from the right. A gradually filling blue bar on the bottom left is how you use skills: each skill use will use up a bar. Burst on the bottom right will give your characters a large boost in power, and triggers all your character skills at once!
Boss monsters have a bar that will fill as you hit it, to enter a so-called “overdrive” mode. Likewise, it will also enter a “break” mode. Watch out for the little pips under the boss’ HP bar too. When those fill, it will use a special attack! Of course, there is also the elemental weakness/strengths in play too, so keep those in mind.

Battle speed can be increased with the top left buttons, as well as the auto battle function. Pressing the pause button will allow you to see any buffs or debuffs on your characters, handy! Characters can be improved not just by limit break, but also personal skill nodes. Those will require coins and materials.
Ayakashi Rumble! doesn’t bring anything new right off the bat, but it IS new, so give it a try to see if you like it. You can follow their Twitter for other information.

The article on ‘How Diablo IV and Overwatch 2 Are Meant To Distract From The Ongoing Blizzard Controversy’ was available a week earlier through the Gamerbraves Newsletter. Sign up for free to gain access to more articles about news and trends in the gaming industry and community.

At the Xbox Showcase it was announced that Overwatch 2 will be released free-to-play this October, and if that’s not enough Diablo IV is launching in 2023 with signs up for the beta launching last week.

What great news! Two of Blizzard’s most popular IPs coming out soon after years of delay. Well, at least it would be if it wasn’t for the fact that these were announced in the very same week that the much controversial “out of season April Fools Joke” Diablo Immortal became the lowest user-rated game on Metacritic, currently sitting at a measly 0.5 of out 10.

Now I usually don’t pay attention to the easily manipulated user-related scores, but then you realize Diablo Immortal asks you to spend an estimated $110,000 or ten years to get enough in-game currency to fully max out your character. Netizens have been accusing it of being everything gamers were afraid it was going to be when it was first poorly announced at Blizzcon 2018: a money-grubbing mobile whaling boat.
But it’s ok because we have Diablo IV, and even just yesterday Blizzard promised that it won’t have the same monetization scheme that Immortal does. Isn’t that nice of them?
This has been a trend Activision Blizzard has been following over the past few years since Diablo Immortal was revealed. Every time they fall under the fire of the public eye, Blizzard tries to shield themselves from controversy under the promise of Overwatch 2 and Diablo IV, the two big-name releases they have left.
Image Source: The Verge
It’s a trend that goes right back to both games’ initial reveal at Blizzcon 2019. This was just one year after the fallout of Diablo Immortal’s reveal and a few months after the Blitzchung scandal where Blizzard banned a Hearthstone player and took away their prize money all for his Pro Hong Kong statements. For fans, it felt like any good news surrounding Diablo IV only followed on from bad news about Immortal.
Back then it almost worked. They were making games people actually wanted. The then Blizzard CEO J. Allen Brack gave a half-hearted non-apology about Blitzchung, and for many fans that was enough. It was ok to like Blizzard again and enjoy Tracer’s butt guilt-free.

Image Source: The Verge

That became a lot harder when Activision Blizzard was sued and faced protests for sexual harassment charges, allegedly caused a woman to commit suicide and the fact that their CEO Bobby Kotick not only knew about these issues for years but protected known abusers and threatened to have an assistant killed.
Now of course we’re not saying the company created two triple-A video games out of the aether just to look better. It’s certainly an interesting coincidence though. Every time Activision Blizzard comes under fire, they always got an exciting new piece of gaming news to counter the controversy.
This can best be seen in their failed efforts to look ‘progressive’ in the midst of the outrage. For example, a report found that Activision attempting to stop subsidiary Raven Software from unionizing via threats, firings, and transfers.

How did Activision respond? They released a Diversity Space Tool, that is meant to show unconscious bias when creating characters and plots in games.
This ended up backfiring as you can’t really quantify what makes a person “diverse” and many minority groups tend to not like their identities being turned into quantifiable points but that’s beside the point. It really exists because love it or hate it, it’s a distraction from more serious matters. No different from renaming McCree to make up for years of office harassment.
Pls Forget
The world has certainly become cold around Blizzard. They were once such as beloved studio, the makers of some of the industry’s best games: Diablo, Warcraft, Overwatch. They want you to remember them that way because the more you remember their great games, the more you don’t think about their recent scandals.
And unfortunately, this is also why this strategy tends to work so well. For every armchair analyst decrying Blizzard’s actions, there are likely five more fans excited for any new information about their most anticipated upcoming games.
The best we can do is not let Blizzard’s recent scandals be forgotten in the hype for their new games. As good as Overwatch and Diablo could be, they shouldn’t hide the fires that Blizzard is currently trying to put out.

Welcoming a new era with NVIDIA Ampere LT

New year means shiny tech, and NVIDIA‘s bringing it in the form of its Ampere tech, its 2nd gen RTX architecture making its way to laptops 26 January. GeForce RTX 30 Series Laptop GPUs increase efficiency by up to 2X, accelerate performance, and introduce new 3rd gen Max-Q Technologies, allowing gaming laptops to be the fastest they have ever been yet to deliver stunning ray-traced experiences in top gaming titles, as well as enabling content creators to produce incredible art pieces in hundreds of GPU-accelerated apps. With the recently concluded CES 2021, there must have been some of these laptops that’s caught your eye.

What is NVIDIA’s Ampere tech that’s powering the GeForce RTX GPUs and laptops though?
Featuring the NVIDIA Ampere Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs), the 2x FP32 throughput is capable of delivering vastly improved performance with improved performance per watt, as well as PCI Express 4.0 support and numerous other architectural enhancements.

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

The new 2nd Generation Ray Tracing Cores have up to 2x the throughput, enabling GeForce RTX gamers and content creators to enjoy high quality ray-traced effects, from Cyberpunk 2077 to Minecraft with RTX, and 3D rendering apps like Blender.
Assisting with that acceleration are new 3rd Generation Tensor Cores, with up to 2x the throughput of Turing-architecture Tensor Cores powering NVIDIA DLSS. That in turn accelerates performance in many titles like Control and Death Stranding, while generating beautiful, crisp game images that are often clearer and sharper than native resolution rendering with Temporal Anti-Aliasing.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

The Tensor Cores have also enabled NVIDIA Broadcasting – for live streaming, video calls and voice chat – and NVIDIA Reflex – for more responsiveness in supported titles – the ever expanding GeForce Experience, NVIDIA Studio and so much more.

Third Gen Max-Q: Optimal Power and Performance
Max-Q is a system design approach that delivers high performance in thin and light gaming laptops. Thanks to this, laptops are now designed and built to ensure every component and element of the laptop – GPU, CPU, software, PCB design, power delivery, thermals – is optimized for power and performance.
The GeForce RTX 30 Series laptops is utilizing new third gen Max-Q Technologies for new system optimizations to deliver substantial improvements to efficiency, performance, battery life, and acoustics.

Dynamic Boost 2.0

In new laptops will be Dynamic Boost 2.0 which uses AI to balance power between the CPU, GPU and GPU memory. The AI system manages power on a per-frame basis so that your laptop constantly optimizes performance according to where power is needed the most.
Whether the application is loading the CPU, the GPU, or the GPU memory, the result is a larger performance boost than ever before. In a GPU-bound workload, like gaming or 3D rendering, the system can allocate up to 20W more to the GPU, automatically and seamlessly boosting frame rates or reducing rendering times.
Dynamic Boost 2.0 is available on all GeForce RTX 30 Series Max-Q laptops and is enabled out of the box, helping maximize performance in every app and game.

WhisperMode 2.0
WhisperMode 2.0 debuts on GeForce RTX 30 Series laptops for a new level of acoustic control for gaming laptops.
Reengineered from the ground up and custom-built into laptops at a system level, users can now choose a desired acoustic level, and WhisperMode 2.0’s AI-powered algorithms will do the rest, dynamically managing the CPU, GPU, game settings and fan speeds to deliver great acoustics and the best possible performance.

NVIDIA DLSS
Not forgetting NVIDIA DLSS, it’s now available in over 30 games with support coming to more games with many upcoming integrations in the works. DLSS accelerates performance by up to 60% in Cyberpunk 2077, and doubles the frame rate in Minecraft with RTX.
DLSS works by using AI and RTX Tensor Cores to deliver up to 2X the performance in the same power. Compare a regular GPU which needs to calculate almost 4 million pixels for a single 1440p frame to DLSS requiring only a fraction of the pixels, which improves efficiency and increases performance.

NVIDIA DLSS is also available in content creation apps, such as D5 Render, letting you visualize beautiful 3D environments in real time as you create them.

Resizeable BAR Support
The standardized PCI Express interface features a technology called “Resizable BAR”, which allows modern CPUs to access all GPU VRAM simultaneously, rather than the much smaller multiple requests of old. As the CPU and GPU are constantly swapping data, doing this in one big batch rather than multiple smaller ones can increase performance in certain games.

Resizable BAR improves performance without increasing power usage, helping increase efficiency and battery life, giving players more battery-powered game time. And when plugged in, it’ll help gamers achieve even higher frame rates.
GeForce RTX 30 Series laptops will support Resizable BAR via a driver release for laptops that implement it.

The Ultimate Play
The GeForce RTX 30 Series isn’t limited to just desktops, with laptops getting in on the action too. With award-winning NVIDIA Ampere architecture, 3rd Generation Ray Tracing Cores, 2nd Generation Tensor Cores, and streaming multiprocessors, you can get the most realistic ray-traced graphics and cutting-edge AI features anywhere, anytime.
New GeForce RTX 30 Series laptops with innovative 3rd gen Max-Q are able to maximize performance, efficiency, battery life and acoustics, to give you the best user experience possible.
