Following the trend of past Persona games, Persona 5 will be getting its own animated television adaption. Atlus and A-1 Pictures have announced Persona 5 the Animation, an anime television series planned to air in Japan some time in 2018. Atlus shared the news in a post on Twitter, as well as released a trailer that is live on the Aniplex official site. Unfortunately, it’s only available for viewing in Japan....
Now that the long wait is over for Persona 5’s global release date, the video game developer Atlus has decided to celebrate the title’s availability worldwide by providing Western audiences with an official launch trailer for the Japanese role-playing game. Although the game has been available for quite some time now in Japan, fans of the series in the rest of the world are surely happy to learn that the JRPG is finally available for all....
Another day, another discovered cut scene from Persona 5 Royal. Datainer pan-hime is at it again, and this time, she’s uncovered an unused scene featuring The Phantom Thieves hanging out at the Tokyo Skytree. Pan-hime grabbed this scene from the Chinese build of Persona 5 Royal, and a video featuring an English translation was uploaded to YouTube by gamer Faz. The video can be seen below. Note that although the in-game date in the video reads “5/16”, that is just a placeholder....
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, like From Software’s previous games, is notoriously difficult. In fact, From Software considers it harder than Dark Souls and Bloodborne, so even veterans of those games will likely have a hard time with Sekiro. Sekiro’s challenge has attracted the attention of PewDiePie, who rarely makes gaming videos anymore, but has decided to do so with an attempt at playing through the game without dying. It doesn’t take long for PewDiePie to lose the challenge, but he keeps playing Sekiro anyway, and continues to rack up deaths....
Frontier’s Planet Zoo is a zoo construction and management simulation game and is considered the spiritual successor of the Zoo Tycoon franchise. It uses the same game engine as Planet Coaster, meaning much of the building and management elements work in the same way. Planet Zoo focuses heavily on realism and includes incredibly detailed animal portrayals as well as a huge amount of conservation awareness that’s carefully wrapped into the gameplay....
Last week, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds developer PUBG Corp. launched a potentially industry-shaking lawsuit against NetEase, the creator of several battle royale mobile clones. The company accused NetEase, the Chinese publisher behind battle royale games such as Rules of Survival and Knives Out, of violating copyright and trademarks it holds PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. While the lawsuit is one to watch given that it could have significant implications regarding other PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds clones, this isn’t the only reason why people are talking about it....
Free access to online play has been a selling point for the PlayStation 3 since launch but at a Sony investors conference being held today, Sony directors will hint at a “new revenue stream from subscription” in one of the PSN presentation slides. You can view the presentation slides in context with your own eyes at Sony’s business site. At launch the PSN experience paled in comparison to the offerings of Xbox Live and, up until recently, it was easy to understand why the service remained free juxtaposed against Microsoft’s subscription prices....
Pokémon GO made its official debut on smartphones and other mobile devices in the summer of 2016. When it did, it instantly became a massive cultural hit all across the world. Multiple generations of fans both new and old came together to download the app and play. Millions upon millions of Pokémon GO players appeared in just about every city, walking around through many destinations, trying to catch them all. It got so crazy, that businesses started catering their marketing towards Pokémon GO players, and law enforcers had to be extra proactive in making sure players don’t trespass into private properties....
Cryogonal is currently available via three-star raids in Pokémon GO - meaning it can be taken down solo, but it won’t be easy. Raids have been a topic of controversy ever since they were first introduced to Pokémon GO. They come in five different tiers, with tier-five raid Pokémon being the hardest to take down and catch. In fact, taking down a Pokémon in a tier-five raid is all but impossible....
Here’s how to get Porygon in the Pokémon Sword & Shield expansion, Isle of Armor. It’s hard to get a bead on Porygon. It’s a Normal-type Pokémon, which is Pokémon’s catch-all for anything that doesn’t really fit anywhere else. It’d be better to label Porygon as a “digital” Pokémon, but now that Temtem has taken that typing, I doubt Game Freak will ever add it as a new type in future Pokémon generations....
Although many Pokémon are judged based on their base stats alone, it’s easy to forget that the majority of Pokémon in the series are able to learn moves that can increase or decrease those stats in battle. Sometimes these moves aren’t worth the space on a moveset, since they can only learn a maximum of four moves at a time, but in some cases, these stat-boosting moves mean the difference between a good Pokémon and a great one....
Pokemon GO trainers may not be able to go out and walk around cities to hatch Eggs quite as freely as they could a few months ago, but that doesn’t mean that the Egg distance feature is no longer a part of the mobile AR experience. Egg rotations are still happening in the game and the current phase of the Throwback Celebration event is placing some of the most exciting rewards inside the game’s distance locked items....
The summer’s biggest Pokemon GO event, Pokemon GO Fest in Chicago, is officially underway! That means that players at the event are getting access to all kinds of special spawns and bonuses and even have the chance to be the first to work through a brand new special research chain to unlock a Jirachi encounter that will hopefully be tweaked and launch for the rest of the community sometime after the event....
The Lake Trio have officially arrived in Pokemon GO, which means that players around the world are out battling in raids and trying to secure their region’s available third of the legendary group. Now that Niantic explained how the Lake Trio appearances work, the community has a better idea about which creature they’ll be able to encounter in their own region. Although the majority of our readers may be facing off against Azelf right now (here’s a guide to Azelf counters), we still want to explain how the other two fights will go down, as well....
Pokemon GO is a game that is all about getting out and exploring real world locations with other local players, so it’s no surprise the game is having to make some major adjustments in response to the social distancing protocols related to the coronavirus. PoGO already delayed the upcoming Abra Community Day event that was scheduled for the weekend of March 15, but that’s not the only change. Pokemon GO is also bringing Cobalion and Lugia back outside of the originally announced Legendary Raid Weekend hours to make sure trainers have enough time to try and complete the encounters....
The Pokémon Go team has revealed the first details for the popular mobile game‘s next event: Luminous Legends. “A legend will soon illuminate our world: Xerneas, the Life Pokémon, will make its Pokémon GO debut during the Luminous Legends X event,” says the Pokémon Go team. “Some Dragon- and Fairy-type Pokémon originally discovered in the Kalos region will be coming along for the journey as well, such as Spritzee, Swirlix, and Goomy!...
Even though Pokemon GO already has a reputation for plenty of events to keep its player base engaged, it seems the developer Niantic is planning on ending March on a high note. For example, March 23 is Treecko Community day where fans can earn themselves a shiny Grass-type starter. The Equinox event is running from now through March 26, with players also having received new Equinox event Field Research Tasks and Rewards....
When Pokemon: Let’s Go Pikachu & Eevee were first announced for the Nintendo Switch, old-school fans of the series were delighted. Returning to the magical world of Kanto, the games feature the original 151 Pokemon as well as one or two special additions. Unlike the original games, however, there are still quite a few fierce battles to be fought even after the Indigo Plateau. Much like many of the recent Pokemon games, Let’s Go Pikachu & Eevee have plenty of post-game content that should keep players busy long after they’ve become Pokemon Champion....
The partner Pikachu and Eevee are both fantastic Pokemon in the Let’s Go series, receiving a boost to their stats compared to a regular Pikachu or Eevee. Both also received a handful of exclusive moves that are seriously overpowered, with Eevee having one for each of its evolution types. If you have Let’s Go Eevee and want to make use of these fantastic moves, it’ll depend on what your overall build consists of....
Pokemon Sword and Shield released last year for the Nintendo Switch. Unlike previous entries in the series, this game has opted to support a single title with DLC instead of releasing an updated third version of the game. Thanks to the team at GameFreak deciding to support the title with DLC, the game has continued to see support from the fanbase even a year after its initial launch. The first installment of the Pokemon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass unveiled the Isle of Armor....
