Japan is only a few days from getting their hands on the next game in the “Persona” series (“Persona Q: Shadow Of The Labyrinth“) and the rest of the world could not be more envious. Thankfully the Japanese branch of ATLUS have decided to be kind to the world by releasing another two introduction trailers for the game so close to its release. Within the past couple of weeks ATLUS has released a whole bunch of different trailers for “Persona Q”, each of which has introduced us to a new or returning gameplay features and characters from the “Persona” series.

The two latest trailers (re)introduce players to the Persona creation mechanic and the infirmary; a place where you can go to heal up your team and accept different mission to help boost the levels of your party members. Despite the fact that both of the trailers are entirely in Japanese, it isn’t too hard to get the jist of just what exactly they’re explaining.

Seasoned “Persona” players will already be well-aware of the fusion/creation mechanic and the new “infirmary” gameplay option is exactly how it sounds. The two new trailers are available to watch just below and don’t forget to hit up our comments section to let us know what you think. “Persona Q: Shadow Of The Labyrinth” is set for a Japanese 3DS release on the 5th of June with a Western release to come sometime in Autumn/Fall.

FIGHT THE ENEMY IN THE FROZEN FIELDS OF EASTERN EUROPE IN VOLV INTERACTIVE’S WARFARE NATIONS FOR iOS

FIGHT THE ENEMY IN THE FROZEN FIELDS OF EASTERN EUROPE IN VOLV INTERACTIVE’S WARFARE NATIONS FOR iOS

Beijing – June 2, 2014 – Wargaming on iOS just got better. Introducing Warfare Nations by VOLV Interactive, an online strategy game following in the footsteps of Advance Wars and Neo Geo classic Metal Slug. Warfare Nations can be downloaded for free from the App Store today.

The Great War has descended upon Europe. You’re the Commander, the only one standing between glorious victory and certain death. Your troops need your leadership–now more than ever—to survive one of the bloodiest conflicts in human history. Enter the shallow trenches of Europe and show the world what true fighting spirit looks like!

Choose a side (Silver Fox or North Polar), and then assemble troops and resources in order to take over enemy bases of increasing difficulty. Train your troops (riflemen, sharpshooters, medics, grenadiers and more); build armor units (armored cars, lightweight/heavy tanks); summon air support when needed (air superiority fighters, bombers); and establish outposts on enemy territory to generate indispensable iron and gold—the key resources for expanding your army and upgrading your troops.

Warfare Nations offers players the complexity of a PC strategy game with the usability of a mobile app. It’s a game we’ve wanted to make for a long time—and we’re happy it turned out the way it did,” says Jack He, marketing manager at VOLV Interactive. “We think players will enjoy the look of Warfare Nations as well as the soundtrack inspired by epic war movies. Silver Fox or North Polar? May the best army win!”

Warfare Nations can be played solo (single-player campaign) or against opponents from all over the world through the PvP Outpost.

Key Features

  • Two sides to every story: Pledge your allegiance to either Silver Fox or North Polar.
  • War can be beautiful: Gorgeous retina graphics with 4 unique environments–Outskirts, Forest, Countryside, and Ruins.
  • Dominate both land and sky with 50+ powerful combat units: 9 different infantry troops and armored units, plus 7 unique air support units.
  • Conduct research to take your army to the next level: 35+ resource bases to explore and research new technologies.
  • Draw your troops into battle: Line-drawing control system (think Flight Control).
  • Engage in boss fights: 7 personality-laden bosses between levels—each fight worthy of a victory bonus.
  • Build your army: Collect enough gold and iron to upgrade your HQ and strengthen your troops.
  • Quick online battles: Always fast-paced—with just 1 minute to get started, and 5 minutes per round.
  • Obliterate your enemies online: Challenge thousands of other players, raid their bases, and enjoy the spoils of war!
  • Marching madness: Awesome soundtrack that pays homage to the heroic war movies of the 20th century.
  • Smooth operator: Seamless connection for smartphones and tablets with matchmaking; supports Wi-Fi and 2G/3G/4G.

Warfare Nations is free to download and play. A discounted Starter Pack will be available for a limited time ($1.99)—providing players with enough diamonds, iron, and gold to teach the enemy a few valuable life lessons 🙂

The game is also available on Android (through Google Play and Amazon’s Appstore), and it will soon be available on Windows Phone.

MKX-Trailer-01

“Who’s Next?” Well, it looks like Sub-Zero was next… poor guy! The Lin Kuei master really doesn’t have a good track record against his (im)mortal enemy Scorpion, and it continues in the Mortal Kombat X announcement trailer. That’s right, Mortal Kombat X has been revealed by mister Ed Boon on Twitter, and now Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment have provided us with more official details of the title. NetherRealm Studios’ next instalment in the iconic fighting franchise will release in 2015 for the Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 and PC. It will make its first public appearance at E3 in just 8 days.

MKX-Trailer-02

Mortal Kombat has always been about over-the-top, visceral fighting and with Mortal Kombat X we wanted to utilise the power of new-gen consoles to give players our most intense game yet. The team has worked hard to make sure Mortal Kombat X delivers everything fans expect along with new characters, new game modes and an all new graphics engine. – Boon

MKX-Keyart-01

Mortal Kombat X will present the most cinematic experience in the series yet, one that is every bit as brutal as its predecessors (if not more!) and fully-connected, boasting a persistent online contest where players will fight for global supremacy. For the first time ever, Mortal Kombat X will allow players the choice of multiple variations of each characters, promising to offer different strategic and stylistic impacts as a result. As has been the case with the team’s last two releases, there will also be an original Story Mode, featuring fan favourites such as the franchise mascots in Scorpion and Sub-Zero, whilst introducing all-new challengers.

Also unveiled as part of the game’s announcement is an original track by Rostrum/Atlantic recording artist Wiz Khalifa entitled “Can’t Be Stopped”. The rapper is a huge Mortal Kombat fan – as is evident by his reference in “The Race” – and wrote this song specifically for the trailer.
