Dynasty Warriors: Eiketsuden will feature grid based battlefields where commanders will be moved through the square spaces in the map and aim to complete various objectives to win a fight. The only other detail really provided is the “Resonance” system that will use the power of bonds between commanders and that players will also be able to partake in free battles and that all action is shown through skippable Warriors styles fights.

Rocketbirds 2: Evolution picks up right where the cinematic adventure of Hardboiled Chicken left off. Players again will gear up as Hardboiled, the tough-as-nails, plucky chicken super-agent and the original “Cock of War.” The evil megalomaniacal despot Putzki, who wants nothing more than to bend the world to his wing, is still alive, and his evil plans force Hardboiled to hunt him down and eliminate him once and for all.

Featuring new game modes such as Rescue Mode, where up to four players (drop-in/drop-out, online or off-line) can go on rescue missions to free hostages deep behind enemy lines. During missions, players will be able to find hidden items and artifacts; and each time a new hostage is freed, they’ll join your team as new, fully customizable playable characters.

With super responsive and fluid gameplay controls, new combat systems, an expanded arsenal, cross-buy/cross-save, and stackable chicken crews, Rocketbirds 2: Evolution’s new level of depth and replay value is fueled with jetpack action in a glorious explosion of finger-licking fun.

London, UK — April 6, 2016 — Today, Ubisoft® and Blue Byte released the new Anno 2205™ Veteran’s Pack, which is free for all players, and revealed plans for upcoming downloadable content.

The Anno 2205 Veteran’s Pack offers challenges for experienced Anno players and introduces new features, such as additional quest types, user interface options and ornaments. At the core of the Veteran’s Pack lies a new, harder difficulty mode, pushing players to their limits where more careful planning is required to grow their corporations. Players can adapt the new difficulty settings to their existing profiles or start a new corporation from scratch. Players will also experience new types of quests, a community-requested quick view mode for all buildings in the sector, and the option to exclude certain goods from consumption. Three new ornaments allow players to make their cities more diversified and performance updates such as improved start and loading times are included as well.

More new content is already in development for Anno 2205. This May, another free DLC, the Big Five Pack, will be released, bringing the Economic Warfare feature to the game. Here, players have to battle for shares of the Big Five, the five most successful competitive corporations, but they also need to defend their own corporation’s shares. Moreover, new Sector Effects can add a permanent or temporary positive or negative effect to players’ sectors.

In June, the Anno 2205 Orbit DLC will allow players to build their own modular space station, which offers a brand-new science and research system to upgrade different areas in their corporations. Orbit is part of the Anno 2205 Season Pass but can also be purchased separately.

Anno 2205 is in development at Blue Byte, a Ubisoft studio, and is available now.

RISING STAR GAMES TO BRING BELOVED MECH-ACTION TITLE ASSAULT SUIT LEYNOS TO PLAYSTATION®4 AND PC THIS SUMMER

RISING STAR GAMES TO BRING BELOVED MECH-ACTION TITLE
ASSAULT SUIT LEYNOS TO PLAYSTATION®4 AND PC THIS SUMMER

Defend the Earth from a Mysterious Invading Force with
Powerful Customizable Mechs in this HD Remake

Los Angeles, CA – April 6, 2016 – Rising Star Games, the video game publisher renowned for bringing unique and diverse games to players everywhere, has announced a new partnership with Dracue Software to publish Assault Suit Leynos for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, and PC. Drawing from the fantastic action of the classic 16-bit series (also known as Target Earth), the Assault Suit series is well-known for fierce and fast shooting action, challenging boss battles, and an amazing array of weapon options. Assault Suit Leynos stays true to these gameplay elements and delivers HD visuals for the ultimate alien-blasting experience.

“The slick production values and fast-paced action make Assault Suit Leynos an incredibly addictive game,” said Martin Defries, managing director of Rising Star Games. “This title is both challenging and rewarding and a great example of the type of game, borne out of Japan, that we love working with here at Rising Star Games. Fans of old-school shooters will absolutely feel that familiar thrill and quickening of the pulse when they start blasting wave upon wave of enemies.”

Take on armies of robot enemies and huge mechanized bosses in Assault Suit Leynos.

As Earth reels from the impact of a fourth world war and dwindling resources, an uneasy truce between nations sees mankind reach for the stars. Colonies are settled, resources are mined, and the future starts looking a little brighter. But just as peace finally seems possible, an unknown enemy emerges from the deepest region of space to threaten the very existence of humanity. Only one thing can stop them – It’s time to deploy the Assault Suit Squadron! Gamers will blast through the opposing enemy forces with devastating weapons like machine guns, rocket launchers, and laser beams while discovering the hidden truth behind the invaders.

Developed by Dracue Software, Assault Suit Leynos will be available summer 2016 on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and PC through select digital retailers. The physical boxed release of the PlayStation 4 version includes a deluxe double-sided poster featuring artwork from the Japanese release as well as original art from the classic 16-bit release.

Mages that focus entirely on skills that use mana, and Banishers that apparently just love to smash enemies.

The-Idolmaster-Platinum-Stars-screenshot-(59)

At the start of the year Bandai Namco had plenty of details to announce about The Idolmaster: Platinum Stars for the PlayStation 4 but since then they have been a bit quiet about the upcoming game. That changed today when the company announced that they plan on releasing the game in Japan on July 28th where it will be sold for 8,200 yen at retail and as a digital download and that all first print copies of the game will come with a code that, when redeemed, will give the player a PlayStation 4 theme featuring the thirteen idols from the game.

As previously detailed, this game will place players in the role of a producer who must manage the thirteen idols as they enter a training camp in the remote countryside in order to restore their popularity by tapping into their hidden talents.

New Details Revealed for Divine Prison Tower: Mary Skelter

Divine-Prison-Tower-Mary-Skelter-screenshot-004

Back in March Compile Heart announced that they were working on a new PS Vita dungeon crawler that would be turned into a multimedia franchise with the help of Dengeki’s various branches by the name of Divine Prison Tower: Mary Skelter and today they have opened up the game’s official website. The website has revealed that the game will take place in the “living prison” called Jail which is a city that suddenly collapsed, allowing creatures called Marchen to create the prison.

Jack, a longtime inmate of Jail has long forgotten everything that makes him human but one day a group known as “Chishiki Girls Squad” rescues him and thus begins their attempt to escape. So far only a few characters have been revealed with Jack, Alice who is a girl that grew up with Jack at a young age and is also rescued, and Akazukin the first-discovered member of the “Chishiki Girls” and is hot-blooded when it comes to taking care of others.

Akira Toriyama Interview Hints at Dragon Ball Super Continuation

dragon-ball-super-manga-cover-01

Dragon Ball Super is currently in the middle of the ‘Champa Arc’ with the TV version being slightly ahead of the manga now, however we have no idea for exactly how long these two productions are scheduled to run for. With the first ten chapters of the manga being combined into a single volume for release, Dragon Ball series creator Akira Toriyama and the author of the Manga who goes by Toyotaro produced a joint interview answering a few questions about the series and its future.

Thanks to Twitter user Herms we have a nice translation of that interview that holds some hints as to Super’s direction. In response to a question asking where the series is heading, Toyotaro replies that a certain future related character is going to be involved and Toriyama chimes in saying that it’s a popular character that the kids should love. This most likely pertains to the more adult version of Trunks from the future who has since made many appearances across video games thanks to his time travel antics.

trunks-dragon-ball-screenshot-01

A similar but separate answer to that same question also brought up that another Universe might be involved. Based on the translation the above information seems accurate, however it is possible the use of the word future may just be in regards to the general future of Dragon Ball Super. Either way it means more Super content is on the way and that a popular character will be involved!

With the ending of Battle of Gods revealing there are 12 unique Universes, the series really has unlimited potential to explore new worlds and characters. The interview also reveals more about how the Manga is put together. We know Toriyama only provided the rough plot for the series, however the more fleshed out details are being penned by both Toyotaro and the staff in charge of the animated version of Super back at Toei Animation, which helps explains the minute differences between the two.

dragon-ball-super-screenshot-01

Toriyama mentions at the end of the manga that he hopes Toyotaro will become more involved with the story writing process as the series continues, so perhaps the series will continue long after Toriyama stops wanting to produce content if he is happy for certain approved individuals to continue the legacy.

Another fun interview revelation explains that the blue Super Saiyan form (known officially as Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan or simply Super Saiyan Blue) is blue simply because Battle of Gods used red for the Super Saiyan God transformation. Toriyama was going to make the form have white hair, however this would colour clash with the ‘next enemy’ (giving more promise to another arc for the series with a new villain).

dragon-ball-z-revival-of-f-screenshot-004

We also got some reconfirmation on things we have known about for a while. Gohan was meant to become the main character of the series during the Buu Saga and take over from his late father, however the more Toriyama drew the Orange Star High School episodes the more he realised Gohan prefers studying over fighting. Toriyama had also not created the villain Majin Buu while creating the slice of life Gohan material, only doing so when he felt it was time for a new villain to appear.

So with all that being said we look to be in for at least one more arc of Dragon Ball Super once this Universe 6 vs Universe Tournament is over with and hopefully many more! Let us know in the comments if you would like to see Trunks return and any other ideas you might have for the series.
