Atelier Firis Brings Back Sophie, Plachta, and Others

This week’s issue of Dengeki PlayStation has revealed that fans of Atelier Sophie will be seeing at least a couple of their favorite characters returning as full time characters in the next game in the series, Atelier Firis: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Journey. It has been revealed that Sophie Neunmuller, Plachta, and Oskar Behlmer (who has apparently slimmed down since the last game) will be returning in this second game in the “mysterious” series. Alongside these three returning characters a new character was also revealed by the name of Drossel Weissberg.

This woman is filled with curiousity and doesn’t mind the minor details despite being a playwright. She has high combat abilities thanks to instructions she has received from her father but suffers from extremely poor sense of direction. Currently Koei Tecmo is aiming to have Atelier Firis: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Journey released in Japan for the PlayStation 4 and PS Vita on September 29th.

Pokémon Sun & Moon Adds Mimikkyu and Kiteruguma Pokémon

Those who have found the designs of the new Pokémon that will be appearing in Pokémon Sun & Moon will likely be able to add some more fuel to that fire with the latest two reveals. The latest issue of CoroCoro magazine, courtesy of Serebii, has revealed two new Pokémon that will be in the game with one being a normal/fighting type bear Pokémon that is currently called “Kiteruguma” and a ghost/fairy type called “Mimikkyu.”

According to the leaked details, Kiteruguma will possess the Fluffy and Klutz abilities and that the people of Aloha are scared of it and usually place warning signs up thanks to the fact that they are incredibly strong but like to hug their owners, resulting in them being a bit of a dangerous Pokémon to raise. As for Mimikkyu, it will possess the “Disguise” ability and its creepy Pikachu exterior is thanks ot it wearing a popular Pikachu themed item that was popular many years before in an attempt to try and be friendly with humans.

Obviously when Nintendo makes an official announcement for these two Pokémon they will likely be given a name change in the West but for now fans can still look forward to Pokémon Sun & Moon being released in North America on November 18th and in Europe on November 23rd.

Overwatch’s Newest Hero is the Support Sniper Ana

After a few hints and plenty of guessing by fans, it seems that the popular fan theories about the next Overwatch character have turned out to be correct. Today Blizzard Entertainment has revealed that the new hero that will be added to Overwatch is none other than Pharah’s once thought dead mother Ana, a female sniper capable of healing her allies and buffing them with her super while also putting enemies to sleep, preventing them from healing, and of course, shooting them in the head.

Ana is currently available on the “Public Test Realm” servers on PC though it is worth noting that at the moment the wait is over a thousand people long. For everyone else, Ana has been given a full overview of her abilities by Blizzard as well as two trailers covering her origins and showing her in action.

After hanging up her rifle for over seven years, one of Overwatch’s founding members is returning. Introducing Ana—a battle-scarred veteran who supports her teammates from a distance using a unique and highly specialized collection of weapons.

Ana’s primary weapon is her Biotic Rifle, which fires long-range darts that can restore the health of her allies or deal ongoing damage to her enemies. Meanwhile, her Biotic Grenade is perfect for a close-quarters clash, because it simultaneously heals teammates and injures foes caught in its small area of effect. (Affected allies will also receive a temporary increase to all incoming healing, whereas affected enemies can’t be healed for a few moments.) And if the battle starts to get out of hand, Ana’s side arm can fire a Sleep Dart, knocking her adversaries’ unconscious.

Plus, Ana’s ultimate ability, Nano Boost, transforms teammates into super soldiers, granting faster movement, increased damage, and resistance to enemy attacks.

SPIDER-MAN SWINGS INTO MARVEL AVENGERS ACADEMY IN BRAND-NEW LIMITED-TIME UPDATE

Play the game for a chance to win tickets to the premiere of Spider-Man: Homecoming

(San Francisco, Calif.) July 12, 2016 – Further building upon the recent Civil War update, TinyCo and Marvel are proud to announce a brand-new, limited-time in-game event for their highly successful MARVEL Avengers Academy mobile game. This update, available now, centers on Marvel’s beloved iconic character, the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, as he swings into MARVEL Avengers Academy. MARVEL Avengers Academy is available to download for free on the App Store® and Google Play™.

In celebration of the Spider-Man update to MARVEL Avengers Academy, players will have the chance to win an all-expenses paid trip to the premiere of the upcoming film Spider-Man: Homecoming from Sony Pictures Entertainment and Marvel Entertainment just by playing the game. To enter, just download and play the Spider-Man event in MARVEL Avengers Academy.*

After winning the high school science fair with an experiment that impressed Tony Stark during last month’s Civil War update, Peter Parker found himself as an intern at the prestigious Stark Industries. Under the guidance of Tony, Peter secretly hones his powers as the Amazing Spider-Man while learning everything he can from the Avengers Academy and his fellow powerful peers. Young, ambitious, and extremely quick-witted (perhaps too much so for his own good), Peter’s personal journey only continues to grow in this brand new update for MARVEL Avengers Academy.

The notorious Norman Osborn opens The Osborn Private Science Institution right next door to the Avengers Academy. Claiming to have invented the “Symbiotech” technology, he aims to create the world’s greatest super-suits. Together, Norman and his star protégé, Doctor Octopus, build their army of gadgets and machines with the goal of taking over S.H.I.E.L.D, the Avengers Academy, and total world domination.

Intent on finding out what Osborn and his henchmen are up to, Peter begins a brand new internship at the new Daily Bugle satellite office located at the Avengers Academy. Well-versed in the suspicious activities of Osborn and using his keen Spider-Senses, Peter gathers his Super Hero classmates in order to defeat the likes of Green Goblin, Doc Ock and the rest of the Sinister Six. The world will depend on Spider-Man and his Super Hero crew as the evil symbiote powerhouses, Venom and Carnage, pose the largest threat ever seen in MARVEL Avengers Academy.

Also, players on Android™ devices will be able to earn a free download of the first five episodes of Marvel’s Ultimate Spider-Man animated TV series exclusively on Google Play when they unlock certain Spider-Man characters in the game. Upon unlocking each of the requisite characters, players on Android™ devices simply need to tap the “redeem” button in the event’s redemption hub to download the TV episodes. **
