In the new DLC, Eddie Brock, aka Venom joins the Midnight Suns to right the wrongs he committed under Lilith’s demonic influence. Blood-sucking vampyres have infested the sewers beneath New York City. With help from the Midnight Suns, Venom is fighting to regain control of his actions and rid NYC of the undead scourge but unshackling himself from one manipulative demon has attracted the attention of another.

Content in the Redemption DLC includes:

A New Recruitable Hero: Venom, a savage symbiote wielding 10 unique Hero Abilities
New Story Missions: Continue the fight against the vampyre threat in New York City
New Abbey Upgrade: Whisper Web
3 Additional Hero Skins, 7 Abbey Outfits, and 2 Swimsuits for Venom

Venom is recruited by completing his first story mission “The Devil’s Due,” which becomes playable after completing the “Shattering Expectations” mission at the end of Act One.

In combat, Venom starts off each encounter with a big damage bonus in the form of Ravenous. This is a unique mechanic for Venom where he starts off with three stacks and each stack increases his base offense. Using an Attack or Heroic uses one stack of Ravenous, which then gets refilled a bit each turn. This makes Venom particularly bursty as a character. He requires careful play order management to maximize his damage potential, but his abilities can allow him to sustain longer periods of intense power.
You can also build Venom’s Whisper Web upgrade in the Abbey. This unlocks the ability to use Intel to modify general missions, applying a random modifier such as switching the mission leader and decreasing the mission difficulty. Upgrading Whisper Web adds an additional reward to the mission, such as Credits, Blueprints, or Essence.

Marvel’s Midnight Suns is available for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The game is scheduled to release for PS4, Xbox One, and Switch at a later date.

Apple stops updates for App Store games in China

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

Game developers for iOS have found their luck run out in China, as Apple stops updates for thousands of titles in the region’s store. The titles all lack a license from the Chinese government, with Apple halting these updates as the company receives mounting pressure to comply with local regulations.

The Financial Times reports that Apple’s biggest App Store market is China, with most of the $16.4 billion App Store revenue coming from games. The thing is, the Internet Content Provider licenses have been required for all paid-for apps or those with in-app purchases since 2016 for China, with licenses granted after government review. It can be appropriately difficult to obtain.

Android app stores have mostly observed the ruling, while Apple has allowed the games to be published while they await authorization. There are supposedly roughly 60,000 affected games while only around 43,000 licenses have been issued.

How Apple managed to skirt by the ruling is unknown or why the crackdown is happening now, but Apple did try to prepare developers. Reminders were given out in February, then warnings to obtain the licenses by 30 June, before finally taking action now that it’s July.

It probably won’t be the first time such extreme measures will be taken, especially with these proposed rulings we reported on in April. While people may try to keep games “politics-free”, the rulings are still rulings to be followed.

Wonder – A Switch-like Android Device In The Making

Wonder is a startup company by Andy Kleinman who’s coming up with an Android device that is centered for gaming. The ambition of Wonder is to provide the flexibility of gaming on the device and on a bigger screen like Nintendo Switch. From a sleek, square cornered and a massive screened device, Wonder aims to create a hybrid device running on Android that can perform or outperform the Nintendo Switch. There are powerful devices like the Xiaomi Black Shark and Razer Phone already in the market, however they have yet to show their capability like the Nintendo Switch. Though Razer did come up with Project Linda allowing the Razer Phone to dock and become a laptop.

Though Wonder is said to be an Android device, it will not be running on the base Android OS but rather a custom version of Android which can be known as WonderOS. This custom version of course will allow the device to overclock the processors just like a PC and beam it onto a TV screen when docked just like the Switch. Unlike the Xiaomi Black Shark, the hardware package that Wonder is offering will come with a subscription service “a smartphone, dock, controller and access to a suite of software services.”

Currently, a price has yet to be set but the eventual product is on track to be revealed next year. A prototype is currently in the making but the specifications of the phone itself is not confirmed yet. Wonder is still looking for formal partnerships to make this a full-fledged project which will give it an official name. While Wonder isn’t a bad name, but I wonder if this could lead to a new generation of gaming smartphones which could eventually lead to the death of portable consoles.

Hortensia Saga R First Impressions: For a princess in hiding

Hortensia Saga R is now available in Japan, with a Traditional Chinese version to follow suit at some point. For the unfamiliar, Hortensia Saga R is a full 3D remake of the original Hortensia Saga that launched in 2015. It has a currently running anime series, featuring Yoshimasa Hosoya as the main character Alfred Albert and Yui Horie as Marius Casteledo, actually the disguise of Princess Mariel of Hortensia.

You’ll be able to log in and redeem the variety of pre-registration rewards, as well as start playing the game to complete the newcomer missions as described here. So how does it play?

PRESENTATION

Now, I’m not familiar with the original Hortensia Saga, so I’ll just speak based on this game. As promised, the game is done up in full 3D, with the story sections also rendered in 3D instead of just having 2D spritework, along with full voicework. I’d say the 3D work won’t be the best you’ve ever seen, but hey, I can forgive it for being a primarily mobile title even if Genshin has made that standard really high. They still do have the 2D arts which you’ll see in the unit gallery and during the gacha, and those look pretty damn good. There’s not much to say here, since it can be highly subjective. Visuals aside, animations are alright, and the music is also fine. I think the sound effects do sound a little odd…
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves

Tweet to @GamerBraves

As you complete the main story quests, they fill up the related story image hex by hex, and forms into the main image. I think that’s pretty neat way to show your progression.
GAMEPLAY
The game is a turn-based tactical RPG, selecting your skills and taking your turn. Your turn ends only once all your units have acted, then the enemy’s turn will begin. Even without knowing Japanese, it’s easy to at least know what range the skill covers, with offensive skills colouring a tile in red to show it hitting the enemy.

To start, you’ll have 3 units on the field, and you can shuffle them around in the white tiles before you commence battle. The auto battle system only works during battle, not before, and won’t work until you actually start the fight, so there’s an extra step of setting unit formation (unless you don’t want to) first. You can shift the camera angle if you like, though the top down would work just fine.

As you can see from the battle screens, there’s the weapon triangle to denote the strengths and weaknesses so you can place the appropriate units. You can also check enemy details if the mascot pops up on the right of your screen, though being in Japanese, it doesn’t do anything for me. Characters have their animations and cut-ins for special attacks, as you might expect.

Characters can increase their star rarity by utilizing shards, the number of which will gradually increase. You’d mostly get these from pulling dupes in the gacha, which will be discussed later. Besides that, characters can have up to 6 equipment slots, and at certain levels, can go into a pseudo-skill tree system to choose between two skills, which works like your X-COM promotions. The skills can be reset with premium currency. Later on, you’ll get access to weapon emblems, where you can place down tiles and it’ll confer the bonuses within those tiles.

So many things require the relevant stamina system in this game, and ranking up doesn’t fill the bar, which is somewhat concerning…
GACHA

As usual for a free to play/start title, the game operates a gacha system. Base SSR rates are 2%, which is on the lower end. To start the game, your initial rigged roll will always have one SSR, and can be rerolled up to 30 times. Why not unlimited? Who knows…
The game does have a somewhat interesting system where you can choose to increase your SSR chances after a 10 roll, or increase the probability of obtaining the character you desire. It’s only a 0.1 increase if you choose to increase an SSR rate, or a 10% increase to a specific SSR’s drop rate. It’s not a hard pity, but better than nothing, one supposes?

CLOSING THOUGHTS
There is quite a decent bit to chew through this game, with quite a bit of systems to fiddle about and grind for as you go along. It can make your device chug a bit, which will hopefully be ironed out once the game’s launched for some time longer with optimizations to be worked in. The gacha system is a little hit or miss and I won’t know how effectively you can go through the game with low rarity characters, but if you like some turn-based strategy, you should give it a shot for yourself.

Attack on Titan Theme Artist SiM is Moving Label to Pony Canyon

As the second half of the Final Season of Attack on Titan begins, SiM, the artist who made in the new series’ opening theme is now moving to a new label.

The new opening song by SiM is called ‘The Rumbling’, a fitting name considering the series is at least in part about fights between giants. The lead vocalist of the alternative metal band, MAH said that he tailored the lyrics to fit the most recent developments in the anime after reading through the manga.

Attack on Titan The Final Season has begun airing on the 10th of January 2022 for both Japanese and international audiences.

Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm is a game by Cornfox and Bros. that was first announced back in August 2016. They also revealed a 14 minute gameplay video played on the iPhone 7 which showcased amazing graphics and Zelda-esque gameplays!

The demo that they showed will also be playable at the Game Developers Conference 2018 that’s held in San Francisco this week. So if you’re there, you can try out the game first hand! As seen in the demo trailer, players will explore the Great Jungle of Pirta, where it’s run by the Owru nation divided by an old grudge. The mission here is to unite the Owrus and get them to join the fight against Mesmeroth’s Dark Army.

Two members that I mentioned who will be tagging along are Trin, the granddaughter of Arcadia’s leader Archimedes, and Gen, a mysterious robot who wields an old samurai weapon Eki. From the demo trailer, we saw enemies with a shield bar and players will be able to shoot electric bolts with a gun that will take that shield off to deal more damage on their HP. There’s also a bomb where players can throw at the enemies and ignite it with a gun shot, dealing direct HP damage to them. Did I mention you also get a free grappling hook too?

On reddit, people have left comments showing their appreciation for the Vtuber, who was best known for incredibly comfy streams and a quirky sense of humor.

Xiaomi Black Shark – The Upcoming Gaming Phone With Switch-like Controllers!

Xiaomi has been working on new phones to match against the revolutionary Razer gaming phone. With the competition hot on the market, they have found a company called Nanchang Black Shark Co. Ltd. to collaborate with. With their collaboration, they gave birth to the Xiaomi Black Shark gaming phone equipped with high-end hardware that will be launching later today, 13th April 2018, 3 p.m., at Beijing, China.

Looking at the leaked picture from Weibo, China’s social media site, the phone has a detachable gadget on the top of it. There should be a gadget at the dark-colored rectangular area for the bottom part but it was taken off for this picture for unknown reasons. The gadget we’ve been talking about will be the suspected detachable gaming controllers like Nintendo’s Switch which will probably be connected via Bluetooth.

Check out the short video leak by Slashleaks:

The phone from the back-view seems to have two cameras with a flash. While the specs has already been revealed by Techadvisor to have a Snapdragon 845 processor, Adreno 630 graphics, 8GM of RAM and a storage of up to 256GB with 120Hz refresh rate support. There are even performance scores which revealed to rival Razer’s scores at 270,680 and 8452.

Currently there’s no news on how much will the phone and the detachable controllers will be priced at (which will probably be revealed later today and updated here). But looking at the competitive market, they will probably be slightly cheaper than Razer’s Phone which is priced at $699.99 (about MYR 2715.61).

World of Warcraft: Dragonflight – Returning to Core Azeroth in Modern Times Q&A with Patrick Dawson and Laura Sardinha

It’s finally official: World of Warcraft: Dragonflight is going to be the long-running MMORPG’s tenth expansion. Anyone keeping tabs on the game have likely seen many leaks flying (haha) around, and there’s no doubt there’s going to be a lot of speculations until more blue posts emerge.

In our comfy presentation session, on call with us is Patrick Dawson, Production Director, and Laura Sardinha, Lead UI Designer. Without further ado, let’s dive in! Interview has been edited for clarity.

WITH REGARDS TO THE EXPANSION
There’s been a level squish before, so what’s the reasoning behind raising the level cap?
Patrick Dawson: This is something that goes hand in hand with our new talent system / overhaul. One of the things we wanted to get back to – the core World of Warcraft – was making every level you gain feel meaningful. Now that you get a point every level for your talents to make those choices, going through that process and engaging in that system from level 60 to 70 will let you play with that new talent system and grow your character throughout that process.

About Dragonriding, can you take us through how you designed this new feature? Challenges, interesting tidbits?
Patrick Dawson: What’s a dragon expansion without flying, right? Historically when we added things like flying, it usually comes near the end. While this won’t be traditional flying as you know it, we wanted to make sure it connected to that fantasy of soaring through the air, gaining momentum, making flying feel like a “modern” activity…
Flying hasn’t really changed fundamentally in 17 years at this point, so this was a new take on what that might be. A dive bomb or barrel roll aren’t things you can necessarily do with the current flying mounts, this being really specific to Dragonriding. There’s something fun about playing with the physics on top of all the customization and the collection system of getting all these new ways to change your character and / or drake that’s been really rewarding. You’ll enjoy both aspects of them.
Laura Sardinha: Think about the Dragon Isles being the homeland of the dragons. They’re massive, big, and the zones are meant to accommodate them. Think about yourself as a regular human walking around with all these mountains, waterfalls or places only dragons can reach. The idea to give players the ability to fly early on just fits so well and made a lot of sense for this expansion.
Dragon Isles Continent concept art.
The game’s Vanilla and Burning Crusade zones on Azeroth are masterpieces in world design, but they’re also 15-18 years old. New players are largely discouraged from exploring the majority of this world, which seems counterintuitive since it’s the place our characters are fighting for.
With Dragonflight and its mechanics, is Blizzard, in a way, creating a new expansion that appeals to modern sensibilities and breathe life into players?
Patrick Dawson: What we’re trying to do is get back to that core Azeroth fantasy. We just came from Shadowlands, which was an exploration into the afterlife and what that would mean. That was cool and fun, but we’ve also heard players wanting to get back to Azeroth. Dragonflight is that wonder, the moment of exploration of a new-found land that’s existed that we haven’t been to, and really, no one has for 10,000 years. I think players who really wanted that core Azeroth fantasy are going to get a kick out of this.
Laura Sardinha: About modern sensibilities, I think the UI revamp helps with that because the game will look fresh with a new, cleaner, easier to use UI. We’re going to give you a lot of options, while our current one doesn’t allow you to do as much without add-ons. It’s a fresh new era, like what Dragonflight is bringing like as a whole.
I was wondering if the move from the afterlife of the Shadowlands to the fantasy of the Dragon Isles could be seen as too jarring? I understand if this treads spoiler territory, though!
Patrick Dawson: We frequently go to new lands in World of Warcraft: the afterlives of Shadowlands, a completely new continent with Mists of Pandaria, discovering Zandalar and Kul Tiras, and we’ve been to other planets at times too. It’s like exploring new areas like we’ve done previously. We’ve been really leaning into having the core Azeroth in this world, and it’s been rewarding to go back to that and I think players will enjoy it too.
Froststone Vault.
Earlier you mentioned that Dragonflight aims to recapture the fantasy aspect of Azeroth, so how were the inspirations similar / different to what we currently have?
Laura Sardinha: As Pat was saying, we’re going to this new place that’s been dormant. As soon as we get there as players, there’s going to be a lot of magic and everything is going to feel so alive. I don’t think we’ve really seen that before? Nature, volcanoes, canyons, waterfalls, just “coming back”. It’s going to give that feeling of “freshness”, and it’s going to be great.
Patrick Dawson: It’s that familiarity and wonder at the same time. It’s hard to capture, but it’s something we’re focusing on. Across the zones, you’ll meet Centaur clans, primordial Trolls, or even revisit the Tuskarr. It’s a nice balance between the “new” and “familiar”.

ON THE DRACTHYR EVOKER
Can the Dracthyr Evoker ride dragons?
Patrick Dawson: Dragonriding is absolutely a feature that all the races and classes can interact with. The Dracthyr Evoker may interact slightly differently with it, but it’s something we want you to participate in throughout the expansion experience.
The race and class combo feels limiting, yet also versatile with healing or ranged DPS specs. How did you balance giving them a strong sense of identity while providing playstyle flexibility?
Patrick Dawson: I actually don’t think it’s limiting at all, In fact, choosing a new race to bring this class to life allows us to go really deep with character customization. It’s not just customizing your dracthyr form on the battlefield, it’s also your visage form – your more humanoid form. There’s a lot of cool personalization you could do with your horns, scales, and all that.

The gameplay is also pretty dynamic. We’re introducing this as a mid-range DPS, as well as healer spec. We haven’t really added a lot of ranged DPS to the game with our recent classes, so we wanted to stay away from the melee focus. Plus, it really fits the fantasy of the dragons soaring over the battlefield and breathing fire at their enemies.
Another cool feature of the race / class combo is this new mechanic called Empowered Spellcasting. You’ll see your cast bar start to fill up. At different breakpoints, you can choose to cast it or hold onto it to empower it even more. Empowering it may make it do more damage or hit more foes, so it’s a new mechanic we’re playing around with.
What is the inspiration behind the new class?
Patrick Dawson: We wanted something to do with dragons. It’s a dragon expansion. We felt we could use another ranged damage dealer. Healers are always welcome and in demand. And something that fits the fantasy of what the expansion is meant to be.
There’s actually plenty of story behind this new race, with their own starting zone where we get to go through and experience the dracthyr, why they exist, how they came to be, and why they’re waking up now. You’ll get to experience all that in the first hour or so with the new class / race with a lot to uncover and explore there.
Laura Sardinha: One of the inspirations is Dragonflight itself. The DPS spec uses the red and blue magics, and the healer is using the green and bronze. As a healer myself, I’m very excited because you’re going to be able to play with time, which is really cool.

ON CUSTOMIZATION
What are some of the customizations we can unlock for Dragonriding?
Patrick Dawson: We’re still adding stuff right now, but the ones I’m aware of are different horns, scales, colours, or just the general look of your drake as some of the basic ones. We’ll have more in the alpha.
Laura Sardinha: You’ll be able to pick different types of dragons. The UI changes we’ve had in the Shadowlands Barbershop allow this customization; you’re going to be very familiar on how to do that with the whole UI going to be super useful and nice to use. With the new systems, we can add so much more into it. (Ed. note: See: Druid customization.)
ON THE USER INTERFACE
Will we be able to keep our already customized UI position prior to the update, or will we have to change it again?
Laura Sardinha: We’re still deciding on how we’re going to do this transition, if it’s pre-patch or day of launch. But, everything that you can do today (e.g. moving elements, etc.) are still going to be there anyway, so I don’t see any issue of us keeping that. We’re going to be adding things like an edit mode to move pretty much anything from your HUD and save it as a preset for yourself based on your spec if you need that. So, when you switch, it’s going to be easy and the game will automatically change it to the UI you set up. Basically, we’re adding a lot and not removing anything.
Uldaman dungeon concept.
What considerations do you have to make when it comes to customizing / adjusting the UI? I think we often take it for granted.
Laura Sardinha: We know add-ons do a lot for customization, and we’re really grateful for that as it’s so amazing. Now, we think that the default UI should have that as well, because there are players who are just not comfortable downloading things and adding extra stuff to their game. We felt ready to give that to players, and also, technology has changed so much over the years. The UI we have today just doesn’t support huge monitors.
Whether you have a 40-inch monitor or just a normal one, one of our main goals for this project is to have the UI scaled accordingly, and look great.
ON THE OVERHAULS
Could you give an example of the upcoming talent revamps?
Patrick Dawson: We’re doing something new to the talent point system: there are points that are spec specific, and points that are universal. There’s going to be different sections of how you’re going to allocate these talent points. It’s meant to help you get the throughput, the customizability, in how you want to play your character or what the class means to you, rather than just going for the min-max.
Laura Sardinha: On the UI side, we wanted to make sure the talents, visually, have that class fantasy in them no matter how much you look at them. We wanted to do something nice for the backgrounds and have it be easy to tell when you switch specs. For example, as a healer, you could be playing PVP or Mythic+, and you may have different talents for different situations. It will be like your transmog menu where you can easily save and name your preset, like a section with a drop down menu to set up your talents the way you like to play. Again, it’s very flexible for customization.
What can you tell about the tech behind the evolution of flight?
Patrick Dawson: I think it’s definitely an exercise in experimenting with physics and different animation styles, so there’s the art, tech and design components. If you were to fly downward on your mount right now, you would have to choose to do so. No momentum, no gravity or physics or anything like that. We’re experimenting on velocity or swooping up to a higher area; it’s exciting to see in action and there’s more to come. I think you’ll be able to see that in the videos and deep dive we’re going to show.
CLOSING NOTE
Dragonflight brings about the “10th” version of WOW, or a player’s 20th year in the game if they’ve stuck around since Vanilla. This is a pretty substantial milestone, so will Blizzard be planning any special celebrations for it?
Patrick Dawson: Historically speaking, every fifth year we put on something more revolutionary for something to look into as we go forward. I don’t have anything to announce today, no specifics, but it’s certainly a momentous time for any game, and the players that have been with us.
Primalist Tier Sets concept art.

That’s all the time the duo had with us after giving us a peek at Dragonflight! With “10.0”, it sounds like it’s a return to the basics while adding in elements to keep up with the times. How about you champions of Azeroth out there? Is it time to go back? We’ll see you next time.

At the time of writing the figure is already sold out not 24 hours after its announcement, but that’s not to say the figure won’t be reproduced in future.
Fatalis is a huge part of Monster Hunter history, being the final boss for the original Monster Hunter back on the PS2. It created the archetype of the Black Dragon- the big final boss, usually with its own fanbase to boot. While bossfights usually don’t change much between versions , Fatalis was given a rework in Monster Hunter World, where it was the final boss for the Iceborne expansion.

It’s summertime, schools are on break, and people are on holiday but the anime doesn’t stop and there are a number of notable new shows coming out during the Summer 2022 anime season.

Now that we’re a good few weeks into the summer season, a number of shows have made headway within the anime community with the return of old favorites and a couple of surprise new shows. Here are six anime that you might find are worth a watch as we make our way through the summer months of 2022.

Devil is a Part-Timer Season 2

After all these years, The Devil is A Part Timer makes its long-awaited return with season 2. In an age filled with run-of-the-mill gimmick isekai, the series feels all more excited as it’s essentially being a reverse isekai.
The devil of an alternate universe and his minions are transported to our regular human worlds and without powers, status or money, he must now work at a fast food joint as a part-timer. Soon after, he learns that his mortal enemy, The heroine of the other world has also crossed over. She’s now just a normal office lady but still wants to kill him. In this second season, a young girl has entered into the character’s lives and claims that the Devil and The Heroine are her parents. Hijinks ensue.

The first season was a fun comedy which a fantasy twist and the second season seems to continue this going forward. Watching the character stumble around with how to take care of a toddler is surprisingly sweet. Can the devil stand up to the challenge of being a working parent? With great characters and exceptional gags, I look forward to finding out.
Made In Abyss Season 2

The first season of Made in Abyss is one of the best fantasy anime to come out in recent years. Behind the cutesy art style is a disturbing, tragic story about two young children exploring an expansive eldritch abyss, and encountering both the beauty and horrors within. This series is certainly not for the faint of heart but if you can sit through it, you’re met with one of the most rewarding fantasy anime in recent years.
It should be noted that this season takes place after the events of the movie ‘Made in Abyss: Dawn of The Deep Soul’ which in itself is a fantastic and heart-wrenchingly sad film. At this point, our brave explorers Riko, Reg, and Nanachi are entering the sixth and lowest layer of the Abyss and learning the fate of the many explorers who’ve been there before, and how none of them seem to have come back to the surface.
After the Made in Abyss movie, I didn’t think this series could get any more sadistic but I was soon proven wrong within the first three episodes. Regardless, it all serves the tight world-building and keeps you invested in seeing the heroes overcome these challenges alive and safe. There are still many mysteries of the Abyss to uncover and I’m excited and somewhat terrified, to see how they unfold.
Call of The Night

So how about a slice-of-life show about a vampire girl who thinks the main character’s blood is the tastiest liquid on the planet? Every anime season has its premier waifu and Miss Nazuna Nanakusa from Call of The Night is certainly in the running for this summer.
Kou Yamori is a student who has trouble sleeping so he ditches school and spends his nights wandering around the empty streets of the city where he soon comes across the vampire Nazuna. From there he decides he wants to be a vampire but in order to do so, he has to fall in love with her.
Considering Nazuna is a lewd, beer-loving monster girl who wants to sleep with the protagonist and suck him, that doesn’t so too hard, but nothing can be simple in a comedy anime. Regardless watching two make small talk is fun and even a little relatable in a lighthearted way.
The visuals of the anime are also gorgeous with one of the most thrilling depictions of the night I’ve seen. The late-hour night sky lit up with neon blues and purples. If a cute vampire girl flying across a lit-up night sky sounds like your cup of tea, this is one that’s worth checking out. Also, the opening slaps:

Overlord IV

Ainz Ooal Gown returns once again to set his sights on conquering the land with Overlord’s 4th season.
Overlord Season 4 has come out four years after season 3, meaning that anime has quite a lot of expectations to live up to from its eagerly waiting fans, especially as the previous two seasons were criticized for feeling a little rushed.
Thankfully the first few episodes of the new Overlord season have already proven to be a real crowd pleaser with the series adapting The Ruler of Consoriacy and The Craftsmen of Dwarf arcs. These consist of some of the most celebrated moments from the original light novel with a great emphasis on world-building and politics. It’ll be interesting to see how our boney hero will get out of this one.
Tokyo Mew Mew New

A remake of the classic magical girl series, Tokyo Mew Mew New sees the return of Ichigo Momomiya and her merry gang of animal girls fighting against a group of evil aliens and their chimera animals.
I’ve been enjoying this show simply because you don’t really see a lot from the magical girl genre nowadays. It sort of feels like after Madoka Magica, all of them need some sort of subversive or dark twist. Tokyo Mew Mew however plays the genre refreshingly straight.
Cute girls, transforming into colorful costumes to save the world and maybe falling in love with a bland pretty boy on the side. It’s sweet and simple fluff that is easy to watch after a hard day. What more could you want?
Lycoris Recoil

You know when Hideo Kojima is praising your anime you’re doing something right. It makes sense as well since Lycoris Recoil feels kind of like Metal Gear was mixed with K-On.
The anti-terrorist organization Direct Attack (DA) raises orphans to be professional assassins under their ‘Lycoris’ program. After performing an act of insubordination, top recruit and perfectionist Takina Inoue is transferred to work at LycoReco alongside her new partner Chisato Nishikigi. Chisato is the opposite of Takina, she doesn’t take her work seriously and would rather drag her partner around the city doing odd jobs helping people in need. Takina wants to get reinstated into Lycoris, and Chisato wants to show there’s more to life than being an assassin.
Have you ever felt that slice-of-life shows were cute but could get a little boring with how slow-paced they are? Well, Lycoris decides to fix that problem by having the girls fight in a number of high-stakes gun battles and it’s great. The choreography is well put together and are buddy cop duo really brings each other up with their contrasting yet complementary personalities. This is the surprise hit of the season, a lot of people didn’t see it coming but it’s certainly made in impact.

That was our look at some of the anime currently this summer 2022. There are of course several other notable anime releasing this season but these five a some of the more popular that are worth keeping an eye out for.
Watching them is also a lot easier now as there are far more options to watch anime in Malaysia and the Southeast Asia region. Aside from Netflix, we now have MuseAsia, and most recently BiliBili has launched its platforms in the country, giving us a wider catalog of anime to choose from.
It’s a good summer to be an otaku.

Ghost Trick and Ace Attorney Are In The Same Universe If Fans “Expand Their Imaginations” Says Shu Takumi In New Interview

The remaster of Capcom’s Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective HD Remaster will be released at the end of this month. We were able to speak with the lead developers of the game: the Original Director Shu Takumi, the Remaster Director Atsushi Maruyama, and Producer Shingo Izumi to learn more about the Ghost Trick Remaster and even the series connection to Takumi’s work in Ace Attorney.

                    Shu Takumi

                    Shingo Izumi

                    Atsushi Maruyama

Outside of directing the original Ghost Trick, Shu Takumi is most well-known as the creator of the Ace Attorney series. He directed and wrote the original Pheonix Wright Trilogy as well as The Great Ace Attorney titles and the series crossover with Professor Layton. The quirky style of humor seen in those games is very much present in Ghost Trick.

Producer Shingo Izumi joined Capcom in 2016 and has primarily worked on the Monster Hunter series, being the Producer of Monster Hunter World Iceborne and Monster Hunter Riders. Atsushi Maruyama likewise has a background in Monster Hunter, being the director of Monster Hunter Quest and the main planner for Monster Hunter Riders before acting as the Director for the Ghost Trick Remaster.
The interview began with Shu Takumi speaking about the fan theory that Ghost Trick and Ace Attorney take place in the universe. The developers go on the speak more about developing the HD Remaster and the challenges of bringing the game to next-gen consoles.

There have been many rumors from fans that the two take place in the same universe. Could you further comment on this rumor and are there any connections between the two series?
Shu Takumi: The concept behind the creation of Ghost Trick’s world was to not specify the time or place. That’s why I didn’t use any “text” information in the background graphics and made the characters’ names sound like they don’t exist anywhere else.
I want everyone who plays to imagine as they like. So, regarding the connection between the world of Ace Attorney and Ghost Trick… I would be happy if everyone could expand their imaginations as they can.
It’s been over ten years since the original Ghost Trick was released. How does it feel to be returning to the title after such a long time?
Shu Takumi: I had absolute confidence in this game when it was completed. The enthusiasm of the development team was high and it is still a good memory. So when I heard about the remake planning, I was really happy and thrilled.
In addition, this remake project was greatly motivated by the voices of fans who have loved and supported this game for more than ten years. I am very grateful to all fans. Thanks to that, I am happy to be able to deliver it to everyone.
Will the HD Remaster include any new features that weren’t in the original game?
Shingo Izumi: You can enjoy the new Ghost Trick art & music in the Collection, sliding Ghost Puzzles, and Electrifying Challenges which have been added to the HD Remaster.
Since the original Ghost Trick was a DS game that used two screens and touch controls, was it difficult to adapt the game to modern consoles?
Atsushi Maruyama: The hardest part was arranging the UI. The UI displayed during the game has a great impact on gameplay, so we worked with the UI members to consider “where” and “how” to display and improved it.
Among them, the display of “Trick” power was particularly difficult. After being possessed, it is very important to whether the object can be a “Trick” and what it can do, so we made improvements while considering the user’s perspective when playing the game.
The original Ghost Trick was praised for the smooth animation of its character models. Could you tell us more about the game’s animation and was it difficult to recreate these for the remaster?
Shu Takumi: The original version in 2010 was software for the Nintendo DS. In order to express the individuality of the characters on the small screen of the DS, I was very particular about their movements. The development team had a lot of fun creating this dynamic, comical action that you won’t forget once you’ve seen it. The game is on the big screen now, their actions are even more powerful.
Atsushi Maruyama: Character animation is created by the 3D model by adding motion and making it an image for each frame to create a continuous animation. In this remake, the graphic of the original version has been retouched and improved in resolution, and using the same method in the original one to make animation. I paid a lot of attention to the additions and corrections to the characters.
One of the big features of the HD remaster is the newly arranged soundtrack done by Yasumasa Kitagawa in addition to the original music by Musakazu Sugimori. What was it like working with the two to recreate the soundtrack?
Shu Takumi: Mr. Sugimori is the genius who created the music for the first Ace Attorney. Even after 20 years, the music has a strong vitality that does not get old. His strength is that he can create original new worlds, so it was a happy time able to team up with him again with Ghost Trick.
Mr. Kitagawa is the genius who created the music for The Great Ace Attorney. He is analytical, produces a strong melody, and grabs the listener’s attention. I love Ghost Trick’s music very much, so I feel very lucky to have Mr. Kitagawa, who I trust the most handling the rearrangement this time. The BGM can be switched between the original version and the arranged version at any time during the game.
While playing the preview, we noticed that the game was running on the original aspect ratio of the game as opposed to widescreen. Could you tell us more about this decision?
Atsushi Maruyama: Ghost Trick’s gameplay is greatly affected by the information you see on the current screen. By changing the aspect ratio, you can see things that were not visible in the original version, the difficulty and experience will change from it also. In order to prevent the above issue, we decided to leave the aspect ratio as it is.
If you could pick one aspect of Ghost Trick that you’re excited for new players to try, what do you think it would be?
Shingo Izumi: First of all, I want you to enjoy a unique and excellent story. We have prepared a Demo as an entrance for you, so please try it!
Atsushi Maruyama: It is a story that is avoiding death and changing fate.
Shu Takumi: Ghost Trick, as you can see when you play, is foreshadowed by very small details. So, when you know the truth and play again, the same story should look completely different. I would like you to play it again and enjoy this feeling.
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective

We thank Mr. Takumi, Mr. Izumi, and Mr. Maruyama for speaking with us for this interview on the Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective HD Remaster.
Going back to the first question regarding Ghost Trick and Ace Attorney sharing a universe, I think Takumi’s answer is pretty succinct. The story of Ghost Trick is meant to be timeliness, it can take place in any universe at any place or point so if fans want it to take place in the World of Ace Attorney, it can.
Personally speaking, and without spoiling anything, I could see Pheonix and Maya helping out Sissel and Lyn if they ever got into court.

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective HD Remaster will launch on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series One and PC via Steam on the 30th of June 2023.
