Everyone has a fighting chance
After a day of news about the acquisition of Trion Worlds by Gamigo, the German games publisher has finally issued its official statement. The press release cites three main points about the buyout including extending its games portfolio, the strengthening of its position “as a leading EU and American gaming company” and the potential revenue increase as a result of the Trion World’s IPs.
Gamigo has sent word that darkness has descended into all of its stable of games. Players from Echo of Souls, Aura Kingdom, Fiesta Online and Dragon’s Prophet (to name a few) can look forward to all things that go bump in the night over the coming weeks.
Webzen has sent word that its mobile MMO, MU Origin, has been updated to v4.0 “Force”. The patch brings the new Force System into the game that allows players to tap into “supreme power” while playing through a specialized map with Force bosses, quests, resources and themed rewards.
Trion’s Director of Community Relations Linda “Brasse” Carlson has seemingly revealed that Trion Worlds has been sold to Gamigo in a post on Discord. “I am sorry to say that Trion has been sold, and that a great many of us are packing to leave today. Trion has new owners, and I trust that they will treat you well, as you all deserve.” the post reads.
NIS America has just announced when they will be revealing the next DLC character for SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy. The new character is set to be revealed at the London MCM Comic Con on Thursday, October 25.
Of course, this wouldn’t be an SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy announcement without them teasing the character. As such, NIS America has released the silhouette — that you can see above — of the upcoming character.
From the silhouette, we can see that the new character has some sharp nails as well as a distinct bob-style haircut. This does seem to narrow them down to certain specific characters from SNK’s various IPs.
Whoever this character is, we’ll find out their identity on October 25.

While the home versions of Tekken 7 have been getting a steady stream of additional content, the same can’t be said for the arcade version. However, it seems that’s going to change when Tekken 7: Fated Retribution Round 2 arrives in arcades in February.
Tekken 7: Fated Retribution Round 2 updates the arcade version with DLC characters from the console and PC versions. This of course includes guest characters Geese Howard, Noctis Lucis Caelum, as well as season 2 characters such as Anna Williams, Lei Wulong, and more.
As part of the announcement, Bandai Namco has released this trailer for Round 2.

World War 3 entered early access last Friday with the game’s server infrastructure falling first victim. While EA began on Friday, players reported an inability to connect to servers that day, though many were able to on Saturday after a flurry of patches stabilized servers somewhat, though still leaving many out of combat. The Farm 51 has only stated that there are “connectivity issues” but that it is working to squash bugs and get things stabilized for the majority of players.
Arcade UFO has served as the stomping grounds for the Austin, TX FGC for a decade now. First formed in 2008, it has produced top players in a wide range of games and hosted events for SBO Qualifiers, Namco’s Tekken Tag 2 location tests, and more.
With a growing scene for Tekken 7 that has drawn top players from surrounding cities like San Antonio and Houston, Arcade UFO has now moved into regular streaming for its growing weeklies. Every Saturday at 8:30 PM CT/ 6:30 PM PT is Tekken, and you can watch right now:

SoulCalibur VI is here! It’s been years since the Calibur community has had an explosion of recognition like this. With new attention comes new content, so let’s take a look at what the community has cooked up on day one!
It was already known that Yoshimitsu was going to be a wildly versatile and efficient character, but I’m not sure how many people saw he bringing Tekken-length combos like this along with him.

When we first learned that Zasalamel’s Time Orbs were combo-modifiers, it seemed almost inevitable that something like this would be the result. This might be the only mid-juggle RE I’ve seen used thus far: do you have any other examples?

There is, inevitably a large amount of beginner tutorials and system primers out for a brand new game. But, at an hour long, Namco wants to make sure that their’s is the definitive one:
Cervantes, armed with a Gun full of Just-Frames, was clearly designed for high damage combos.
Watch out — that 3B+K drop may not be a drop at all. Xianghua has a nasty crouch throw tech trap here:
And lastly, we close out with the new character Azwel showing off his damage potential from the odd FC3A, a high string with great range and loops.
Thanks to everyone that submitted content to us! If you have some SCVI tech you’d like to share with the world, reach out to us through our tipline.
