Yelan and Kiki Shinobu have been revealed by Genshin Impact surprisingly early.

I must say, this drip marketing release caught me way off-guard. I’ve been happily saving my primogems for Kaedehara Kazuha, not even considering the characters on the horizons of 2.7. Yelan is a character that I’ve been looking forward to also, as she uses my favourite weapon – the bow.

Genshin Impact seems to be releasing drip marketing earlier and earlier these days, perhaps in an effort to beat the leakers to it. Anyhow, the two new characters look gorgeous.

Yelan appears to hail from Liyue, and works for the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Her design is really lovely, with blue details fitting of the hydro element.

Yelan's identity has always been a mystery.
Like a phantom, she often appears in various guises at the center of events, and disappears before the storm stops.#GenshinImpact pic.twitter.com/XVCffaDUpL

We’ll have to wait for more details on her kit, but she is meant to be a five star.

The other new character is Kuki Shinobu, the Deputy Leader of the Arataki gang. Yes – that’s Itto’s gang! People are suspecting that Itto may be getting a rerun soon, with Kuki featured as a four star on his banner. Kuki wields electro and apparently is the ‘mender’ of the Arataki gang. I can’t wait to meet her and see how she interacts with Arataki Itto, a favourite character of mine.

I think her design is also gorgeous, though it’s received mixed reception. I personally really like it, she has a cool vibe. Her mask especially. I’ve actually been asking for ages to see playable members of Itto’s gang – particularly a female character. Needless to say, I’m very excited for Kuki’s release.

Who are you most looking forward to? Or are you still set on obtaining Kamisato Ayato?

The post Genshin Impact releases drip marketing for two new characters first appeared on Get2Gaming.

The new advert for the iPad Air features Genshin heavily in its marketing. However, fans were quick to pick up on a fatal mistake.

If you were wondering how Genshin Impact will run on the iPad Air, Apple seem set on assuring you that it’ll work just fine. Unless you’re facing an electro-immune boss with an all electro team, which for some reason outrageous Apple player has decided to do.

About 15 seconds into the ad, you can see the player attacking a level 93 (AKA endgame world level) Thunder Manifestation – a powerful electro boss immune to all electro attacks – with the Raiden Shogun/Electro Archon. She’s in her ultimate state, which normally would have her doing tons of damage.

But instead she is doing NO damage because this boss is immune to electro. The other characters on the team include Keqing and Yae Miko, who are also electro attackers. There’s also the traveller, who could potentially be using electro as well, as the traveller is able to wield any of the elements by resonating with local archon statues.

Obviously, they wanted to match the game to the purple aesthetic of this part of the commercial, but the IMMUNE tags instead of big damage numbers that endgame players are used to just look ridiculous. Also, this team composition has no healers or shielders, so not only will it not do damage to the boss but it will probably get dusted unless our Apple player is an expert dodger.

What is arknights

Arknights is a Tactical Tower defense game from Chinese Developer Studio Montagne that is available for Android devices. 

The game follows the story of “The Doctor”, who you play as, after they awaken from a coma and are quickly put incharge of the Private military portion of “rhodes Island”, a pharmaceutical company looking into a cure for the highly infectious disease known as Oripathy. Also Catgirls. Lots of catgirls. And catboys is thats your thing. At the same time, the Extremist Faction known as “reunion”, comprised of people who are infected with Oripathy, have began a terrorist campaign that threatens to destabilize the world. Arknights story is part political thriller, part tragic character drama and part Anime.

The game is a gacha Game, meaning you need to “Pull” for units which are graded on a star based rarity system, similar to Genshin Impact. The characters you pull are known as operators and can then be used in stages that take the form of A tower defense style system. Every character is unique (although most do fit into broader Classes and subclasses) and everyone’s strategy with a stage will be different based on what team they have.

Arknights has recently been confirmed to be getting an anime adaptation, scheduled for release in the not too distant future, so if the game itself doesn’t seem to be your style then maybe check out the show when it launches. You can watch the teaser trailer here:

Vigilo: Doctor Who?

Vigilo is the latest mini event from the game. This one is a bit different from others as its way more story relevant than mini events normally are, focusing on the backstory of the doctor. Bearing in mind the last time we got a super story focused Mini event was Children of Ursus, an event whose story is regarded in the community as one of the most dark and disturbing portions of the games story… yeah I think we are in for a doozy.

The event will feature 10 stages, although the story of the event is not told through these stages, instead being unlocked as visual-novel esque scenes through a separate part of the store. Event currency is earned from completing any stage in the game, not just story stages, so dont feel you need to farm event stages. the 10 event stages are extreamly tough, however, with all of them being boss stages, and the final stage having 7 bosses that you need to defeat.

Event store

This event is relatively simple as compared to previous events. There are no new operators added to the game, no new skins in the shop (the skins that were meant to appear where added alongside the Gavial and the great chief returns rerun that has just ended), and there is no new furniture sets. There is a new skin, available though the event store, the “wastewalker” skin for Provenance.

The Japanese indie game has launched on macOS and is also coming to iOS next year

GameTomo, the mastermind behind the magical adventure game Sumire, has announced that the indie title will be coming to iOS in the new year after its launch on macOS.

Sumire is currently available on Nintendo Switch and PC and was released earlier this year.

Sumire 

Sumire is a magical narrative adventure about the choices you make as you embark on a one-day journey through a gorgeous Japanese village where you take on the role of Sumire who is trying to make her wishes come true.

Sumire comes across as a simple game with gameplay that might not appear as anything special, walking around, interacting with old and new friends, and delivering items, but the real draw of the game is everything in between. In particular, the art, characters, music and narrative all add to the experience of playing Sumire. 

Sumire has now officially launched on macOS today and GameTomo has also confirmed it will be released on iOS in 2022 as well.

Sumire is currently available on Steam and Nintendo Switch for $14.99 (£11.31), but it has been discounted on the Mac Store for $9.99 to celebrate the macOS release. No release date or price has been announced for the iOS version, but it will hopefully be announced soon.

Bowling Ballers is an adorable, endless-runner bowling game, developed by Netflix themselves. This specific game is only available with a Netflix subscription. With the ‘Kawaii’ (cute) aspect to it, they are sure to draw in a young audience. Rather than avoiding obstacles, the players are encouraged to knock items over, which is logical as they are controlling a bowling ball. “Mechanics include skateboarding, flying and more, all with simple, intuitive gameplay.”. As mentioned in the game description, this does seem very unique and has features that many other endless runners do not have. It also seems as though the course changes and becomes increasingly difficult over time, the layout and presentation don’t stay the same.

Shall We Date – Obey Me! Will Have New Characters Arriving At RAD

Obey Me! Developed by Game company ‘Shall We Date’ has become one of the most popular otome games out there. Due to their gender-neutral MC, the player gets to decide who they are, not the writers. They can be any gender or non-binary if they wish. They are one of the only otome games to make an otome game that’s inclusive for everyone, they are certainly heading in the right direction.

They’ve shown three new character silhouettes, we don’t know their genders, but fans suspect there will be a female, non-binary and perhaps a trans character being added in the game. This could be potentially added to the new season coming up. Hopefully early 2022.

Special offers on games, bags, items and more!

A message from the Obey Me! Team

“Dear Exchange Students, as you all know, our aim is to keep Obey Me! inclusive and enjoyable for all people, regardless of gender or preference. This is one of the reasons we will be adding new characters! We hope you’re looking forward to this new development that will definitely enrich your gaming experience.” – Obey Me Team –

It has been confirmed that new exchange students will be joining RAD in the NEAR future! Here are the silhouettes of the new characters. We hope you're looking forward to their presence. Thank you for your continued support of Obey Me! ✨#Obeyme #obeymemasters #obeymejp pic.twitter.com/uf10NeIxLJ

— Obey_Me_Official (@ObeyMeOfficial1) November 20, 2021

Fans are very excited about this option being added, as it allows everyone to be a part of the otome game community. It isn’t just one set of personality, gender, character or race. This game is for every and anyone. It will be wonderful to see more humans, angels and demons included not to mention how they’ll be added to the plot.

The plot is thickening and with 60 lessons and 3 seasons so far, it’ll be season 4 next. It’ll be interesting to see what they have in store.

Special offers on games and more!

What is Obey Me?

Obey Me! Is an Otome dating-sim, that doesn’t just concentrate on love, in fact, the love aspect is more of a feature as in Obey Me! players get more of a plot with unexpected twists and turns. It’s set in a realm called the ‘Devildom’, where the player is a human who becomes an exchange student in a realm of demons, along with angels and a sorcerer. The future king of the ‘Devildom’ aims for humans, angels and demons to get along in peace and harmony, hence the exchange programme.

Obey Me! has been successful with over 4 million downloads across 166 countries and have gone from a small otome game app into making Album singles, podcasts, Audio shorts, monthly spin-offs and finally their own anime shorts series. Now, they are adding New Characters!

Earlier on the 2nd of April this year, they released a special anime short to announce they would be starting an anime in the summer, at the time they hadn’t announced an official date for when they would start their anime but it did have a lot of fans excited and game them a realistic idea of what to expect in terms of art style, plot and gender representation.

In past Otome games that have been adapted into an anime, they have continuously made the protagonist either a weak, clueless female or a shy male who’s a little bit of a pervert. It’s never been genderless or had no offensive stereotypes, so Shall We Date has changed that by making the main character look like a sheep plushie, it becomes a running joke in the fandom, game and anime series.

Sky Children of The Light, Adventure Pass Preorders Will No Longer Be Available

Discontinuing Seasonal Pass Pre-Orders

Once the season of Flight ends, there will no longer be any preorders for Adventure passes and Adventure packs, AKA seasonal passes.

We appreciate everyone who has used the preorder feature for Adventure Passes and Adventure Packs to share with friends. Unfortunately, due to changes to update procedures and scheduling, once Season of Flight concludes we will no longer be able to offer Adventure Pass preorders for future seasons.” – That Game Company –

From the start of the next season that starts in early 2022, Adventure passes can only be purchased after a season begins however, the prices will continue to be the same.

The pre-order bonuses will now be added to all the Adventure passes, they’ve also given the possibility to those who receive these passes as a gift and all who receive a pass will also get access to 30 seasonal candles.

Previously only those who pre-ordered the adventure pass could get access to the bonuses, but this possibility has been extended to everyone.

There will also no longer be a countdown to the beginning of a season as TGC mentioned, as it was linked to the Adventure Passes. They may install a countdown in the future, but for now, it will be discontinued.

TGC has mentioned that players should keep an eye on social media to see when a new season will be approaching.

What is Sky: Children of Light?

Sky: Children of Light comes under the ‘wholesome’ games category and was originally released in 2019 for IOS, then 2020 for Android. It’s an open-world exploration game, where a player can go through seven different realms while befriending other players to help them along the way.

The player follows the story of ‘The Children of Light’ who witness their world falling apart in seven different realms after the stars fell from the sky. As a part of this group, it is the player’s quest to find all the stars ‘winged light’ and bring all the children back to life.  This is achieved by exploring the areas, sharing love and light around the kingdoms to awake the ancestors that perished and find out the hidden truth so the stars can be restored. While the storyline is minimal, the concept of becoming friends with different players, chatting and heading out on a great journey, ties it all together.

There are also multiple items to collect such as masks, capes, hairstyles, outfits and musical instruments that allow the player freedom of expression through their character. These items can be obtained by purchasing with real money or with in-game currency.

Sky: Children of Light also have seasonal events, which each have their own unique currency. The currency is called ‘Seasonal Candles’ each seasonal event has a new area to explore in the game, however, each season goes on for a limited amount of time.

What could be more festive and cozy than playing Creative Assembly’s iconic survival horror game this winter?

Feral Interactive, who also handled the game’s Switch Port, will bring Alien: Isolation to iOS and Android this December.

Feral Interactive claims to have replicated the “stunning AAA visuals, arresting narrative and terrifying atmosphere of Creative Assembly’s award-winning sci-fi masterpiece” for mobile devices “without compromise.” They have also added customisable touchscreen controls, or you can connect an external controller via Bluetooth (if your device supports it). The game includes all 7 DLC packs at the price of just £12.99, and is available for pre-order already.

Alien: Isolation is set 15 years after the events of Ridley Scott’s classic sci-fi horror film ‘Alien’. Players take on the role of engineer Amanda Ripley, who attempts to uncover the truth of her mother Ellen Ripley’s disappearance.

The game quickly became a classic, as Creative Assembly did a fantastic job of recreating the film’s unnerving atmosphere. We can only hope that the mobile version will be as well executed as the Switch port, and make this classic accessible to those who don’t have access to a PC or gaming console.

Rocket League Sideswipe, the Psyonix’s new mobile game, had launched into pre-season. starting in Oceania with a wider launch coming on the way. The game was revealed for iOS and Android earlier in March as a mobile, 2D version of Rocket League. You’ll be able to play solo or team up with a friend for two on two matches.

Instead of the regular 3D perspective of Rocket League, Sideswipe has a 2D side-on view, as the name would suggest. It uses simple touch controls for casual players, according to Psyonix, but will also offer advanced control mechanics for players who desire more of a challenge. As with the original game, it will offer a ranking system for competitive modes and a variety of customization options.

As the gameplay trailer above shows, it looks to capture the spirit of the original game. As the developers have explained, logging in with your Epic Games account for online matches will let you earn extra XP across both Rocket League and Sideswipe. This is a great incentive for fans of the original to check it out, even if they’re not usually into mobile games.

Every time you level up in Sideswipe, you’ll earn a ‘Bonus Win’ in Rocket League. Then, once you win an Online Match in Rocket League, you’ll get extra XP for that Bonus Win. Bonus Wins can also be earned for Sideswipe by playing Rocket League, so enjoy the extra XP in both games,” Psyonix wrote.

Psyonix no doubt launched Rocket League Sideswipe in Oceania to shake out any bugs before is global launch, which should be before the end of the year. So far, however, Psyonix has yet to provide any details on when exactly it will be.

Last week, Netflix made its new game selection available to all subscribers with access to an Android platform. Starting today at 6pm GMT, iPhone / iPad users will be able to join in on the action as well.

In the Netflix app, you will see a dedicated row for games, from which you can choose what you want to download. The iPad app will allow you to select the games category from a dropdown menu, too.

Thanks to Apple‘s policies in regards to the App Store, the process will work slightly differently from its Android counterpart. The main Netflix app will still provide access to the games library, but the games will launch as a separate app.

Once the app opens, you’ll have to authenticate your Netflix account. Then you’re all set to game!

The games coming to iOS are the same ones that launched on Android, including Shooting Hoops, Teeter Up and Card Blast. Additionally, there are two Stranger Things titles: Stranger Things 1984 and Stranger Things 3.

The next game heading to the platform will supposedly be a League of Legends rhythm game called ‘Hextech Mayhem’. It will launch on November 16th for Nintendo Switch and PC, and should join Netflix at a later date.

Though the new service’s catalogue is very small at the moment, it’s available to Netflix subscribers at no additional cost (and who doesn’t have Netflix in this day and age? Even if you’re squatting on a friend’s account).
