A new system will see the beloved Pro Tour return as part of a major Premier Play announcement from the world’s oldest and best trading card game

Thursday March 31, 2022 — Wizards of the Coast today announced an update to the Magic: The Gathering Premier Play System kicking off on 2 July 2022, featuring four levels of tabletop play which culminates in a World Championship tournament with a US $1 million prize pool. The new system will see a return to the Pro Tour structure of previous years, with each Pro Tour offering a US $500,000 prize pool. Players will have the opportunity to carve a path to the World Championship via a series of regional qualifying tournaments.

Regional Championship Qualifiers

The ANZ Regional Championship Qualifiers are a series of local tournaments and will be hosted by tabletop game and hobby retailer Good Games across Wizards Play Network (WPN) locations within Australia and New Zealand. Titled the ‘ANZ Super Series’, the Regional Championship Qualifiers will be open to all players aged 13 and over. Prizes and entry fees will be determined by each Wizards Play Network store location. Top placing players will be invited to Regional Championships tournaments to further test their skills.

All players will receive a promo Lava Spike card for participating, with top finishers earning themselves a Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx card.

Qualifying windows:

• Season 1 Qualifying Window is 2 July to 5 September 2022
• Season 2 Qualifying Window is 1 October to 18 December, 2022
• Season 3 Qualifying Window is 7 January to 2 April 2023

Players can learn more about the ANZ Super Series and sign up. To find your local participating WPN store, visit https://locator.wizards.com/.

Regional Championships (Information for ANZ)

Players who conquer their local Regional Championship Qualifiers will be invited to a major Regional Championship tournament with a US $15,000 prize pool. In ANZ, this Regional Championship is titled the ‘Super Series Final’.

The top 12 players from each Regional Championship qualify for the Pro Tour with the winner also securing a spot at the World Championship. The only way to qualify for a Regional Championship is to place highly at the Super Series Final, or via the Last Chance Qualifier held the day before each Regional Championship. Players unsuccessful in qualifying can still participate in side events at the Super Series Final, including a US $5,000 Super Sunday cash prize pool event.

A number of funds have been allocated as a travel allowance for New Zealand players to ensure qualified members will be able to attend the Regional Championships. This will be managed by Good Games and will require players to apply for their travel allowance.

All players will receive a promo Teferi, Hero of Dominaria card for participating in the Super Series Final, with top finishers earning themselves a foil version of the card.

Series dates

• Season 1 Regional Final will be 25 to 27 November 2022 in Sydney
• Seasons 2 and 3 Regional Finals will be announced at a later date

Pro Tours

Three times a year, qualifiers from the Regional Championships will gather to compete for their share of US $500,000 in prizes, invites to the World Championship, and the right to claim their place among the best in the world. Pro Tours will be hosted by Wizards of the Coast at locations to be announced at a later date.

World Championship

The culmination of everything a competitive Magic player could dream of, the World Championship will serve as the capstone event of each season. Around 128 players will compete for their share of US $1 million. For the 2022-2023 season, this event will be held later in 2023 in the United States. The one-and-only winner will be crowned Magic: The Gathering World Champion.

In addition to this multi-levelled system, Wizards of the Coast has announced plans for a digital Premier Play path for players to qualify via Magic: The Gathering Arena and Magic Online. Full details on this path will be unveiled in April.

The new Premier Play system will debut on 2 July 2022 with the ANZ Super Series which will be run as Standard, Pioneer, Modern, or Limited (to be determined by Good Games).

Embark on a New Journey in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night as the Child of Light’s Aurora Today

CALABASAS, Calif. — March 31, 2022 — Global publisher 505 Games and developer ArtPlay Koji Igarashi’s gothic side-scrolling action RPG Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, crosses over with Ubisoft’s Child of Light in a free patch launching on March 31st at 9am PST on PlayStation 5 + PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S + Xbox One, and PC via Steam, and GOG. The Nintendo Switch version will be arriving soon after. 

Miriam is no stranger to crossing paths with characters from other gaming series. She’s worn Shovel Knight armor into battle, ridden horseback in the dead lands of Kingdom Two Crowns, faced the horrors of Blasphemous, and guest-starred in Mighty Fight Federation. This time, she’s stepping out of the spotlight and letting someone else explore the Hellhold Castle: Aurora, the Child of Light herself.

After saving Lemuria on her own adventure, Aurora finds her journey home cut short when she awakens in a land full of demons. Her only hope of returning to her friends involves breaking Hellhold’s curse in a new storyline complete with poetic, rhyming cutscenes and dialogue inspired by Child of Light.

Witness Bloodstained’s events from a new perspective by choosing Aurora from the Main Menu. The Child of Light has her own distinct moveset and abilities, making this romp through the castle feel fresh.

Call upon sacred powers to wield the devastating Light Ray and decimate foes with elemental damage. Evolve to meet new challenges and unlock new areas of the castle: gain wings to fly, become an adult to swim underwater, and don spike-proof armor to bypass deadly spikes.

Aurora’s loyal firefly friend Igniculus assists her by healing her, casting slow spells on opponents, and providing helpful passive boosts. Earn experience through combat to level up his abilities so he q can use these spells more often and more effectively. 

While Aurora does not have Miriam’s Shardbinder abilities, she can use shards to improve her own skills and access Familiar (passive) and Conjure (active) shards. Each represents one of her lost friends, all with their own powers to aid Aurora on her adventure. Upgrade abilities further with help from Miriam’s friend Johannes using alchemy and items she finds in chests and defeated enemies.

“I feel honored to be able to collaborate with such a prestigious title!” said Koji Igarashi, Artplay co-founder. “Lots of time, effort and coordination have gone into this and I hope you all enjoy Aurora’s active participation.”

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is available on PlayStation 5 + PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S + Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam, and GOG.

To ensure the Nintendo Switch version is equipped with the best possible performance stat points, it will launch later this year.

Set foot into an adorable, fantasy world filled with amazing creatures known as Coromon.

In the name of peace and science, put a stop to a nefarious organization’s plans to unleash the destructive power of legendary Coromon Titans.

Journey across six distinct biomes, teeming with life and mystery, stylized by detailed pixel art reminiscent of RPG classics. Discover over 120 Coromon and assemble a squad to battle through puzzling dungeons, frostbitten caverns, and sand-ridden deserts. Customize your Coromon squad with different element types including sand, magic, foul, heavy, air, and cut. Choose exactly how to distribute the stats of each squad member to turn Coromon into sturdy tanks, quick hitters, or something entirely unheard of to fit any style of strategy in skill-based (or casual) matchmaking, cross-platform online multiplayer.

Forge multiple paths of adventure thanks to three open save slots to see what each and every squad combination of Coromon has to offer across four varying difficulty modes. Enjoy a relaxing journey or go hardcore with built-in fan-favorite “Nuzlocke” and randomizer options. Take advantage of extensive character customization to create an adventure-ready Coromon trainer.

“Coromon is our all-in-one take on an industry-defining sub-genre and we really want to make sure we get it right, especially on Nintendo Switch,” said Jochem Pouwels, Founder, TRAGsoft. “As long-time lovers of these games, we have poured years of fellow fan dreams and feedback across the history of monster taming adventures into Coromon.
