Everyone has a fighting chance
League of Angels: Origins is an upcoming mobile title that is based on the long-running series of games. As it approaches launch, the game has already seen over a million players pre-register. Origins features “Sky Battles and flight, high-quality graphics, complex and multi-layered storylines, large-scale PvP and PvE”.
If it’s December, you know it means a ton of holiday happenings in just about every MMO on the planet. Earlier this week, Perfect World Entertainment revealed all of the cheery activities that players can participate in throughout its stable of games including Neverwinter, Star Trek Online and more.
The Game Awards 2018 have come and gone with more than a few exciting surprises but its also important to note a couple of great wins for the fighting game community.
Dominique “Echo Fox|Sonic Fox” McLean was voted Best Esports Player of 2018, rounding out a very successful year for the multi-title fighting game player. Echo Fox|Sonic Fox not only won Evo 2018 in Dragon Ball FighterZ but also became the number one player for Injustice 2 for the second year in a row at the Injustice 2 Pro Series 2018 Grand Finals.
While his achievements in fighting games are undeniable, there are also many who see him as a shining example of diversity in Esports which makes this a big win for more than just the FGC. Check out his acceptance speech below!

And speaking of Dragon Ball FighterZ, the licensed anime title that rocked the world by Arc System Works and Bandai Namco Entertainment, it also won an award last night, making DBFZ the Best Fighting Game of 2018. It certainly rose above and beyond the expectations of the licensed anime fighting game, with its solid gameplay, groundbreaking visuals, and pitch-perfect adaptation.
Dragon Ball FighterZ has become a shining example for not only licensed titles but for all games within the genre. Hopefully, Dragon Ball FighterZ continues to see support throughout 2019 and for many years to come.
On behalf of everyone at Bandai Namco we want to thank all the FighterZ for making #DRAGONBALLFighterZ the BEST FIGHTING GAME of 2018! SUBARASHII!

MMOBomb is reporting that 70 employees at Daybreak Game Company have been laid off. The news came via former president John Smedley who tweeted his disgust at the layoffs in December and who noted the number of affected employees. Daybreak released a statement to say that it is “optimizing our structure to ensure we best position ourselves for continued success in the years to come”.
During last night’s The Game Awards 2018, Midwinter Entertainment announced its take on a cooperative / competitive (co-opetition) survival shooter, Scavengers. The announcement came with a fantastic looking cinematic trailer and the news that play testing will begin in 2019.
The Epic Games Store was announced just a few days ago, but no moss gathers on a rolling stone. The new multi-games platform is now live with a few titles including Annapurna’s Ashen, Supergiant’s Hades and TinyBuild’s Hello Neighbor: Hide & Seek. But wait! That’s not all! More than a few titles are said to be “coming soon”.
BioWare was on hand at last night’s Game Awards 2018 and finally officially announced Dragon Age 4: The Dread Wolf Rises. There is honestly little more known than that as the trailer shows very little other than a camera slowly panning over a painting on the wall seemingly surrounded by red (lyrium?) writing and the shadow of a wolf’s face. The words say, “So…you found me at last…”. The voice may be that of Solas, one of the main characters from Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Studio Wildcard, developers of ARK: Survival Evolved, announced its new game, a pirate-themed MMO called Atlas. The announcement was made by ARK’s directors Jeremy Stieglitz and Jesse Rapczak who also revealed that Atlas is 1,200 times larger than ARK. Atlas will first be out for PC on December 13th and will set sail on XBox One as part of the game preview program in 2019. Check out the trailer!
Viewers were expecting big announcements from The Game Awards 2018 but you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who could have guessed that the first DLC fighter for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate would hail from the Persona franchise, let alone the main character from Persona 5, Joker.
While there isn’t any gameplay for the upcoming fighter, Joker’s trailer has all of the razzle-dazzle you’d expect from a Persona teaser. Check it out for yourself below to be enveloped by the undeniable style of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate x Persona 5.
Players can purchase Joker individually through Challenger Pack 1 for $5.99 or through the Fighters Pass for $24.99 which will come with 5 characters in total. Each pack comes with one fighter, an additional stage, and multiple music tracks, so if you know anything about the Persona series, its got some of the best jams in gaming.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is nearly here and depending on your time zone, it might already be available to you! The first DLC character, which can be acquired as an early-purchase bonus, is Piranha Plant, so be sure to snag your copy before January 31, 2019.
As always, stick around for more Super Smash Bros. Ultimate news right here at SRK.
