Celebrate the year of the Dragon in Monster Hunter Now to commemorate Lunar New Year

We are approaching the Lunar New Year, and 2024 marks the year of the Dragon, which I think we can all agree is pretty cool. Besides all the interesting cultural celebrations that will occur, Capcom will also be marking the occasion with a Lucky Lunar New Year event on Monster Hunter Now. Running from February 1st to the 15th, you will be able to hunt the monstrous Pink Rathian both in the field and at Hunt-a-thon-Points. As well as these fearsome fights, you can also collect Fortune Lanterns for time-limited events, and get your hands on two special weapons, and some headgear with Critical Boost. As you hunt these Rathian or defeat any monster at the Hunt-a-thons, you will rack up LNY 202…

The Winter Summit lays out a host of updates for Old School Runescape

If the freezing cold, ice-pop vehicles, multiple storms, snow, or the myriad of other harbingers of the cold are anything to go by, we are still deep in the heart of winter, which can only mean two things; perpetual frostbite and the Old School RuneScape Winter Summit. You can view the whole thing on Twitch if you have a spare three hours, but here are the bullet points. Kicking off with the biggy that was teased back during the Summer Summit is Varlamore, a whole new area for players to explore. The first part of this locale will be launching on March 20th and will include the Civitas illa Fortis, and the vast yawning chasm of the Avium Savannah. Those stalwart amongst you will be able to…

We are seeing more and more mobile games running tournaments and giving players a chance to earn money with their skills, and I for one am right behind it.

Puzzle & Dragons join forces with Sanrio for a sixth time

It is tremendously dark times, and the world of Puzzle and Dragons is under threat; warriors are lagging under contest assault from enemy forces, and the people desperately call out for a hero. Then, on the horizon, the latest collaborative characters enter the fray, led by a grizzled veteran of many a bloody and horrific battle; Hello Kitty. This marks the sixth time that Sanrio has teamed up with GungHos’ puzzle game, and I for one will never stop being amused by the thought of a vanquished foe's last sight being an adorable white cat brandishing a massive weapon. Until January 29th you can recruit fighters such as Sea Wolf Pochacco, Kuromi the Great King, and the somehow terrifying…

Super Meat Boy smashes our hopes for a peaceful start to the year with a new update

It is time to dust off those thumbs and say goodbye to your sanity, as auto-running platformer Super Meat Boy Forever is starting off 2024 with a huge update with two huge new modes. If you made a New Year's resolution to cut down on stress, this might not be for you. For those not acquainted with Super Meat Boy Forever, it is quite a tricky platformer where you have no chance to take a break, you are always moving forward towards at least one thing that wishes to harm you, and the levels are randomly generated every time you enter so you can’t learn it. In short, welcome to pain. The rather delightfully named Meat Grinder comes complete with two new ways to play. The Daily Grind is…

Gulp some ghosts and munch some pellets as Pac-Man comes to Stumble Guys

As it does every year, the holiday season has destroyed all sense of time, so it might seem long but it has only been two or three weeks since Stumble Guys teamed up with gaming legend Tetris, and now it has moved onto another giant. Their next team-up target is a simple little maze man, with one of the most iconic sound effects in history. It’s time to get your waka waka one as that gluttonous yellow orb known as Pac-Man chomps his way into Stumble Guys, bringing with him a new level, cosmetics, and a special collection mechanic, because of course. Whilst we will only be getting one new level, looking at the trailer, that is all we will need. Taking the lead from the famous game,…

Put on your waders and big thick coat as it’s time to go ice fishing in Play Together

Kaia Island is experiencing something of a snap-freeze, as ice overtakes all in Play Together. Luckily, this is not an apocalyptic event that will see Jake Gyllenhaal kicking in your door. Instead, it is a time to celebrate with a host of new fish to catch, event missions to complete, and a special new house that those cold-blooded amongst us will love. If you peer into the sea, you may spot what look like floating frozen shards, but open your angler eye, and you will instead see one of the new Icy Fish species, of which there are 30. These frozen-looking wonders can be caught during wintertime in the sea, as well as in other generic wet bodies of water such as the Camping Grounds, ponds, a…

Harness the power of darkest edge in PUBG Mobile's latest version

Someone at Krafton has been watching a little bit too much Mandalorian, as they saw the Darksaber and went, “I am going to make an update about this”, and that’s exactly what has happened in PUBG Mobile. Version 3.0 completely changes the game's maps, and introduces a new weapon. The new themed game mode, Shadow Force, spawns a powerful new melee weapon; the Shadow Blade - feel the edginess seep from it. The Draw Slash skill allows its users to quickly dash to and away from targets, and its Assault Blade skill allows you to deflect incoming projectiles - cause Star Wars. For a faster way to travel, the Skytether Hook will allow you to well and truly launch yourself across…

Sea of Conquest: Pirate War launches worldwide after a hugely successful soft launch

After a highly successful soft launch that racked up a staggering 100 million downloads, Funplus has released its highly anticipated strategy game Sea of Conquest: Pirate War. This mobile release will be followed by a PC one later this month, but that takes away a lot of freedom being stuck to a desk, and how un-piratey is that? What makes this number even more impressive is that the soft launch was only in a select few territories, which speaks volumes by itself. Following a story created by AAA writers and full of adventure, and more importantly treasure, now the whole world can hit the high seas together and rule the waves. Sea of Conquest: Pirate War mixes base management with some thr…

It has been five years since Mattel163 brought its iconic, and relationship-ruining, card game to phones, and since then UNO! Mobile has become a hit.

Defence Derby celebrates one hundred days with free Legendary Hero

It's been one hundred days since Defense Derby launched and made quite the mark on the tower defence genre, and RisingWings is looking to celebrate. The Radiant Start season has launched and brings two new units, and a new Legendary Magic Human Hero, Lana. In terms of skills, Lana brings the goods both offensively and defensively. Her Heavenly Resonance covers your castle in a shield that defends from damage, stacking depending on your max HP, whilst Divine Judgement hammers the enemy with the highest max health, and when this tagged foe dies the skill cooldown decreases. Both are pretty cool, which makes it even better that this Legendary Hero is awaiting all players in their inbox for fre…
