Begin the adventure of multiple lifetimes with Dinosaurs and Ancient Gods. Untold riches and new dangers await in the caverns below…

17 November, 2023 — Wizards of the Coast today released The Lost Caverns of Ixalan, the latest set for the world’s original, and most popular trading card game, Magic: The Gathering (MTG). The call of adventure brings players back to the prehistoric-inspired realm of Ixalan, where mystery has revealed itself in the deep underground caverns, promising treasure, and undiscovered dangers. As the factions of Ixalan race to the hidden core of a subterranean world, who will you join on your expedition? The Lost Caverns of Ixalan was released on Arena on 14 November and launched for tabletop today.

Race to the Core

Four rival factions descend into the caverns of Ixalan, racing to be the first to uncover the source of Ixalan’s power. Will you walk with Dinosaurs of the Sun Empire, seek fame and riches with The Brazen Coalition of Pirates, revel in demonic shadows with the Legion of Dusk, or heed the call of the depths from the shamanistic Merfolk? Each faction is represented in a preconstructed The Lost Caverns of Ixalan Commander Deck, ready to be played straight from the box for both new and experienced players. Below are their respective face Commanders.

Delve Into New Mechanics

As you discover The Lost Caverns of Ixalan, you decide how to conduct your expedition with new thematic gameplay. The new mechanic Descended can trigger effects based on the number of permanents put into your graveyard on a given turn, remembering the lessons of those who were lost. Treasure delvers can turn the mundane into the magnificent with the new Craft mechanic, which transforms artifact cards into powerful new items when paying mana and exiling the required components. The third new mechanic Discoveris for those who pursue knowledge at all costs, allowing players to exile cards from the top of their library until they find a non-land card of equal or lesser mana value to cast for free or put into their hand. No matter which tools you choose, each mechanic will provide unique gameplay directions which may benefit you or be your undoing.

A Collaboration 65 Million Years In The Making

The next Universes Beyond collection arrives with Jurassic World, bringing the excitement and thrills of the blockbuster franchise. Featuring charismatic characters, clever dinosaurs, and fantastic locations, these cards will delight fans of Ixalan and Jurassic World alike and can be found occasionally in Set Boosters, in every Collector Booster and some Secret Lair drops. Hold a piece of the park with a total of 26 collaboration cards including Ellie and Alan, Ian Malcolm, the classic Tyrannosaurus.

Discover Special Guests and Treasure Troves

Debuting with The Lost Caverns of Ixalan, powerful Masters release-level reprints will be aesthetically reimagined with the introduction of Special Guests. These guests will bring their unique and powerful effects as they join the expeditions into the depths. Also included in The Lost Caverns of Ixalan are a host of powerful artifact reprints in dazzling new art. These can be excavated as non-foil Box Toppers in Draft and Set Booster boxes, and in traditional foil in Collector Booster boxes. 

Adventure In Style

The natural beauty of Ixalan will bewilder with gorgeous new styles and returning fan favourite treatments collect. Found exclusively in Collector Boosters, extremely rare Cosmium Neon Ink cards lie, waiting to be uncovered by the bold. The Gods of Ixalan remind us of their power with Showcase Frames designed to represent the horrific beauty of the underworld. Additionally, collectors can find stunning treatments such as Mesoamerican, Travel Poster basic lands, Extended Art, Borderless, and more throughout all The Lost Caverns of Ixalan boosters.

November 16^th, 2023 – World of Tanks team is excited to introduce a new gameplay feature: Random Events, that marks a significant milestone in the evolution of the game’s battlefields. Random events are the series of dynamic activities that occur with its own specific probabilities in designated areas of four maps: Himmelsdorf, Ruinberg, Prokhorovka, and Safe Haven. Red smoke will mark the event zone, with a notification as players approach or cross its border. Tankers should exercise caution in the event zone, as their vehicles may be destroyed by large falling wrecks.

Each event will significantly alter the terrain of the respective maps and offer new tactical opportunities for the players. This transformation opens new paths for vehicles, creates fresh cover, and offers unique firing positions. As a result, players will not only get more action-packed and dynamic gameplay that will keep them on their toes, but it will also visually enhance the gaming experience, making it even more immersive.

The types of events will vary depending on the map:

• On Safe Haven map, the plane crashes onto the bunker’s roof, leading to the collapse of its structure and creating additional cover between the bunker and the port.
• On Himmelsdorf map, an air strike hits the locomotive as it’s leaving the train yard. Here, the scattered train cars will serve as good cover. Also, a falling zeppelin changes the landscape on the central square and “tank alley”, creating a descent from the hill to the heavy tank positions.
• On Prokhorovka map, planes crash into the alley, scorching part of the bushes and creating new cover.
• Ruinberg map is attacked from the air. As a result, an additional pass through the central blocks appears in the town, forming a new direction of attack.

Random Events will be launched in the upcoming 1.23 update.

LOS ANGELES – November 15, 2023 – Netmarble, a leading developer and publisher of high-quality mobile games, has released a new game update for its collectible card game RPG, Tower of God: New World. Players can experience a new teammate, costumes, and in-game events.

New teammate SSR [Demonic Fragment] Hoaqin (Purple Element, Warrior, Sorcerer) is a fragment of the monster sealed in the Hell Train. He was once a legendary High Ranker, among the top 100 most powerful in the Tower, who reigned as FUG’s top slayer White. Hoaquin has a childish appearance but possesses a cruel personality who enjoys making humans fight each other. He sometimes shows an unexpected moral side by keeping a promise once it is made. Hoaquin uses the Spell of Soul-Eating, which steals the souls of others to make their powers his and continues to devour random souls in pursuit of complete resurrection. Additionally, his Rampage, Jolt and Teleport skills inflict high damage on enemies. Two types of costumes are also available for Viole (Red Eyes) and Bam (Second Flipper).

Players can participate in the following limited-time events:

• Formation Strategy Lesson Event (Nov. 15 – 29): Players can enter up to six times a day by selecting one out of three formations: Balanced Formation, Guard Formation and Wedge Formation. With earned tokens from the event, players can exchange for various rewards including SSR characters (i.e. Xia Xia, Lero Ro, etc.), Equipment enhancement material and more.

• Alliance Expedition Event Season 4: During the Search Phase (Nov. 15-22), players will work with alliance members to find Alliance Weapons. These can be used during the Boss Phase to use the Alliance Skill. In the Boss Phase (Nov. 22- 25), Alliance Points are earned according to the amount of damage dealt to the Boss. Use the Alliance Skill to deal more damage to the boss and earn more Alliance Points to receive a higher Alliance Ranking and rewards. Based on the Alliance Ranking the following rewards will be offered: Alliance Coins (up to 25,000), Tri-Essence Facility (up to 3,000), and Season 4 High Ranker/Ranker Alliance Border.

• Cooking Competition Countdown Check-in (Nov. 15 – 29): Those who check-in the game for 14 days can earn abundant rewards including Normal Summon Tickets, Suspendium, Soul Crystals and more.

In Tower of God: New World, players can take control of fan-favorite characters to ascend the Tower. Join Twenty-Fifth Bam – and more than 70 characters – as he fights his way through the Tower in gorgeous 3D animation that will make players feel like they have stepped into an anime world. Players will experience fast-paced battle mechanics while utilizing a unique Slot System that powers up a particular “slot” instead of a specific character.

The game is now available on Google Play and the App Store while the PC version is available to download from Google Play Games Beta. Players are encouraged to sign up on Discord and other social channels (YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and Facebook) for the latest information.
