DITTO TO REVEAL ITSELF IN POKÉMON GO

Elusive, Shape-Shifting Pokémon Known to Disguise Itself as Other Pokémon

London, United Kingdom —November 23, 2016—Pokémon GO Trainers now have the chance to catch Ditto, a Pokémon with a curiously blobby shape and the capacity to mimic the looks and traits of other Pokémon. This means that a Pokémon you think you captured could be Ditto, which reveals its true form only after it’s caught. Also, when training or battling at a Gym, Ditto will copy the appearance, types, and moves of the first Pokémon it sees, and it will stay that way through the remainder of those Gym battles.

Techland discloses Glaive character class details and video for Torment: Tides of Numenera

November 23, 2016 – Wroclaw, Poland Techland is pleased to announce details on the ‘Glaive’ character class, making its debut in Torment: Tides of Numenera.

Note: We will be issuing the final character class video next week so stay tuned for that announcement.

View the Glaive character class video here or download it in multiple language formats from the official FTP here

Glaives are the elite warriors of the Ninth World – brandishing a diverse range of weaponry and offering a balance between might and speed. They are also the only class who can attack twice in one turn. Glaives engage in direct combat and enjoy a high defence rating. If you’re looking to develop a warrior with slow and powerful attacks, capable of absorbing lots of damage, or one who relies more on speed and agility then the Glaive should be your character of choice.

Torment: Tides of Numenera is an epic role-playing-game set across Monte Cook’s stunning science-fantasy world that takes place a billion years into the future. Offering exploration and innovative turn-based combat, Tides of Numenera is a unique experience that is a thematic successor to the critically acclaimed Planescape Torment.

For more info on Torment: Tides of Numenera, check out the tormentgame.com website.

Torment: Tides of Numenera will be available on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2017.

Indie Gala’s in-house indie game development team released the first trailer for their upcoming first person exploration-survival title Die Young.

Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon Delayed to February 2017 in Japan

nights-azure-2-artwork-009

Despite just revealing some new information about Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon yesterday, with that info being that the protagonist from the first game, Arnice and the enemy character Christophorus will be returning in this sequel, Koei Tecmo has announced today that they are delaying the game a couple of months. Previously the title was meant to be released on December 22nd but it will now be released in Japan on February 2017 for the PlayStation 4 and PS Vita.

The reason given for the delay was to improve the game’s quality but they are also adding in two new pieces to the game as an apology. One of these is a new female NPC that will be able to join with the player and fight alongside them and the other is the ability to have characters wear swimsuits as actual costumes after they have appeared in them once.
