Tekken, one of the world's best known fighting game franchises is getting a mobile release. Bandai Namco"soft launched" the iOS and Android versions of Tekken on August 18, 2017 in Canada. No global launch date has yet been released, but if the Canadian soft launch does well, it shouldn't take long. This is by no means the first time a fighting game was released for mobile devices. Injustice 2, and Marvel: Contest of Champions are both very success games. I haven't played Tekken mobile yet, but if they found an acceptable way to get around the control limitations of mobile devices, then it may not be long until we see other classic franchises making the leap! Check out the official page where you can pre-register to stay updated on the game's progress in your region.

Behold, the most pathetic battle possible in Pokemon GO . Magikarp, as many of you know, cannot actually attack in Pokemon GO : It only has Splash, which is useless, and Struggle, which is... slightly less useless, but still kinda futile. You wouldn't want to bring a Magikarp into a raid battle, which are supposed to be Pokemon GO 's toughest challenges. Hilariously, Pokemon GO has also made Magikarp into a low-tier raid boss. Normally, anyone taking on a Magikarp raid just beats a defenseless fish up. It's borderline bullying, because Magikarp can't really do much back. But here is what happens if you take a bunch of Magikarp to fight a giant Magikarp, courtesy of zecmo. Skip to around the 2:24 mark if you just want to see the battle: At first, the players don't even know if winning the battle is possible. "Are we going to time out?" one fan asks. "You can just keep struggling!" another responds. "Struggle for life! Nonstop st...

Netmarble Games has announced today (2nd August) that a mobile adaptation of the hit MMORPG, TERA, is being developed by Bluehole Squall. TERA M will be set 100 years after TERA, in a time where the Giant race rules over Arborea and the other races. As their tyranny reaches its pinaccle, a single Aman boy establishes an independant army to fight against the Giants. TERA M takes the elegant animations and fast fluent actions of TERA, to create a new mobile title. The game was initially announced at the Netmarble Together with Press earlier in January this year. Players will be able to pre-register for the game and follow the latest information on the game’s official website here .

Square Enix’s mobile RPG SINoALICE (シノアリス) finally announced that the collaboration event with its sister work, NieR: Automata, is going to launch on 24th August. In this much anticipated event, players will be able to acquire characters from NieR. NieR’s 2B, A2, 9S, Emil, Beauvoir (amusement park boss), as well as weapons and gears will be available on the event map, via medal exchange and via gacha. A preview video of 2B’s story in SINoALICE has been released. The event scenario is written by the creator of both games, Yoko Taro (橫尾太郎). It will also be accompanied by NieR’s original scores. “Without noticing my distorted feeling, what did 9S dream about? I asked him on purpose. It seems like my body signaled ‘almost begins’ when it went through memory check. Dream…it must be a dream. Reality and virtuality combined – this is a world of scream and pain.” Besides, SINoALICE has entered the second phase today (2nd August). One of the most important updates in this...

Zynga will no longer continue development on its soft-launched 4X game Mafia Wars. Available from the App Stores in Canada, Indonesia, the Philippines, Taiwan in April, the titlewas a reimagining of an early Zynga mobile hit updated with new mechanics and monetisation. During its soft launch, it ranked highest in Indonesia peaking 42nd, hitting 212nd in Canada, 480th in the Philippines, and 1,208th in Taiwan. Forever franchises “As a team, we’re being deliberate about our new starts and going after the categories where we believe we can win," read a statement from Zynga. “We have a high bar for our new releases and didn’t believe the game had the potential to be a successful forever franchise for us.” The term ‘forever franchise’ is one that CEO Frank Gibeau has adopted to focus the company on games - or “enduring entertainment brands” - such as Zynga Poker and Words With Friends that will be long-term successes. Both those titles will celebrate their 10-year annivers...
