~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Welcome to the eleventh annual announcement event for TalixArts. It will showcase several new announcements for upcoming games, new ips, updates on few games. Similar to last year's event, everything will be covered under a single-day format.
Shadelight
Shadelight is the first reveal and the first new TalixArts ip to step into the genre of psychological horror action and survival. Described to be a "Resident Evil"-like game, the player plays the role of Jonas Ebbs, a young psychology major, who seeks to rescue his friends and his girlfriend from shadow demons known as Onyxmons. 
Premise: Jonas Ebbs was just having a normal road trip with his three college buddies and as well his girlfriend, Carly. However a fateful stop at Twilight Falls ends horrific when strange creatures that hunt in the dark abduct Jonas' loved ones. Desperate to save them, Jonas tracks the creatures' last steps to an abandoned mansion. With the unexpected help from a rogue demon hunter named Xar, Jonas must use the ulitmate weapon...light...to defeat the shadow monsters while saving his loved ones.
The gameplay will be focused heavily on the light and shadows. Playing Jonas, he will gain control of a spotlight/shotgun hybrid. Using the weapon, the player has to carefully traverse the darkest areas around Twilight Falls as well Umbra Manor and use the light specifically to unravel any onyxmon. As onyxmons blend well in the dark, the gameplay will be strategic in order to expose the onyxmon and destroy it. At times the player will have to use other means of light like lighting a torch to expose a bigger darken area still playing strategic. There are about 40 onxymons in the game for Jonas to defeat.
The main mode is Story Mode; another gameplay mode is known as Hunter Mode, in this mode there will be missions the player will play as rogue demon hunter Xar. Yet the hunter mode can only be unlocked once the story mode is completed. 
Shadelight will be released in August 2023 for Nintendo Switch, Switch Pro, Notus X2, and PC.

Pokémon Arena Online
Pokémon Arena Online, the semi-reboot to the popular Pokémon Arena series and the combat massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), has allowed players explore Battlefare Island and battle their way on top to become the Battlefare Island Champion. There are several new updates for this game that are set to arrive sooner and sometime in the following year.
With the introduction of the PokeLocker, players can collect their pokemon and store them to use for their battles and previous generation games. The "Violet and Scarlet" pokemon you can save on the PokeLocker cam reappear in Arena Online and use for any freestyle, raid, quest, or tournament battles. 
One of the biggest updates is the appearance of Raids. Throughout out the island as your player explore and progress, some of your missions are raids, where players and their friends join forces to battle other teams in efforts to win skill points for their pokemon and skill points for the trainer. Factions have a big role in raiding; Your faction can play several raids hidden throughout the island in an effort to prove which faction is the best. 
The next big update is the addition of Quests. Like raids, the goal of many quests involve winning pokemon skill points, trainer skill points, and even access to exclusive new moves like "Fury Wild" and "Glory Drive". Exploring the island, players can follow the progress of how many quests they have accomplished while discovering new quests. The number of completed quests could help the player unlock further skill points and customizable items for trainer appearance and pokeball. When playing with your Faction, players and their faction members can unlock faction-driven quests that can unlock skill points to push your faction's progression all the way to the top. Some of the faction-driven quests involve raids.
The Raids and Quests additions in Pokémon Arena Online will be available March 2023 for Nintendo Switch, Switch Pro, Notus X2, and PC.
