Everyone has a fighting chance
Nexon has announced that Master of Eternity is now available for both Android and iOS devices. The game lets players battle in epic mecha warefare. Battles and raids are all part of the game’s “immersive universe”. MoE features turn-based strategic combat alongside a wide variety of customization options, PvP, temple exploration and much more. To celebrate the launch, players can take part in a number of events.
Earlier this week, Funcom began its 25th anniversary celebration. In a new video at YouTube, the spotlight shines on the wide array of games the company has made including pixel platformers all the way through MMORPGs. Funcom has made games for Super Nintendo, SEGA Genesis, PlayStation 1, SEGA Saturn, PC, XBox One and PlayStation 4.
Tekken 7 is no stranger to special collaboration content with other IPs — so far, the game has had collaborations for Idolmaster, Taiko Drum Master, and New Japan Pro Wrestling. This time Tekken 7‘s arcade version is getting a special collaboration event with Namco’s own Summer Lesson VR game on April 4.
For those who aren’t familiar with it, Summer Lesson puts the player in the virtual shoes of a tutor who’s tasked with teaching three schoolgirls over the summer. While it seems like a strange IP to collaborate with, Summer Lesson itself is a project of Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada.
The collaboration consists of the following items:
Whether or not this content will make it into the PlayStation 4, XBox One, and PC versions of Tekken 7 is, as of yet, unknown. However, considering that the previous collaborations with Idolmaster, and Taiko Drum Master did make it into the home versions, it’s likely this one will as well. In the meantime, check out the trailer for the collaboration below.

Pokkén Tournament DX is getting its second wave of DLC pretty soon. For those who haven’t caught up with the additions coming to the game, some new details and screenshots have surfaced of the latest playable Pokémon, Blastoise.
There’s also two assist Pokémon being added — Mew has a move unique to this game called Miracle Power. This increases the synergy gauge, as well as both attack power and critical hits. Celebi, on the other hand, uses an attack that causes a Phase Shift (which switches the game from 3D arena phase to its more traditional 2D phase), even when it’s blocked.
In addition to these, the DLC will include new player outfits, and outfits for Nia. The player outfits are a Blastoise T-Shirt, Rock Guitar Set, Bi-Colour Hair, Glasses, and a Refreshing Stole.
Finally, along with the DLC, there will also be a special Group Match called “Gun Destruction”. This event, which runs from March 23 through March 25, is a team battle competition held in the Fixed Battle Arena. Participating in the event will earn players a Blastoise-based title reward, as well as other titles based on their placement.
Blastoise, Mew, and Celebi are coming to Pokkén Tournament DX on March 23. In the meantime, check out these screenshots of the new ‘mon, and of Pokkén’s latest outfits.

Looks like the rumors about the White Wolf joining the cast of Bandai Namco’s upcoming fighter were true — Geralt of Rivia is the first official guest character in SoulCalibur VI.
So far, we only have the reveal trailer to look at, but IGN produced a helpful look at the video footage with slowdowns and some speculative analysis. In it, IGN brings up Geralt’s swords — one is steel, and the other is silver, which is used for special monsters.
The SoulCalibur Twitter account wrote that Geralt uses both along with his “Signs” (according to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Signs are “simple magic spells that can prove effective when used properly.”) IGN guesses that the silver weapon would specifically come out for monstrous enemies (e.g. Lizardman), but my personal prediction is that Geralt will take out that sword when activating his “Soul Charge” mechanic. A lot of the video focuses on the Signs that Geralt uses.
We can’t wait to see more of Geralt — and there will be an opportunity to do that at the SoulCalibur VI event in San Francisco at the end of the month.

If you’ve been missing the Might & Magic IP, you may be interested to hear that Ubisoft has announced Might & Magic Elemental Guardians for mobile devices. Further, Ubi revealed the pre-registrations for the game are currently being accepted and fans who do will receive a special in-game reward.
On March 28th, Elder Scrolls: Legends will be growing with the Houses of Morrowind expansion. It is the largest addition to the card game since last year’s Heroes of Skyrim. Players will find more than 140 new cards to collect as well as adventure through the content facing off against “otherworldly creatures and coming face-to-face with living gods” and the dragon, Dagoth Ur.
After a short break — peppered with exciting character reveals — it’s time for the Soul to burn once again and give players some opportunity to try the game in action. The latest build of SoulCalibur VI will be available for the public at an event in San Francisco at the end of March.
The Ring Out Event will feature special guests: famous French player Kayane and Bandai Namco brand ambassador Mark Julio. Musicians R3LL and Arius plan to take over the DJ sound booth. Attendees will get their hands on the latest version of the game, which, in addition to the characters we’ve seen in action, should include newly-revealed Ivy and Zasalamel as well as special guest character Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher games and novels.
The event is free as long as you reserve your ticket online at Eventbrite; there are event details there including address and time (the event is 21+). For the unlucky ones who aren’t in San Francisco area, Ring Out will be streamed on the Bandai Namco US Twitch channel from 7:30 PM PDT on March 29th.

After expectant Street Fighter fans saw the preview footage of Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection from PlayStation Underground, some concern arose about the speed that Super Street Fighter II Turbo appeared to be running at in the demo build — despite being played at only speed setting #1, Super Turbo was looking a little too turbo.
James Chen is on site at Final Round 2018, where Capcom has presented a build for attendees to try for themselves. Based on his own hands-on experience, it seems that the speed Super Turbo runs at is not actually as skewed as it appeared to be in the PlayStation Experience demo, thankfully. Have a look for yourselves in the video below!
We can also see in Chen’s video that a “versus” mode outside of the regular arcade mode structure is available for Super Turbo, the apparent lack of which was once of Maximilian’s criticisms in his time with an early build.
Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is expected to hit PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC in May 2018.
