SoulWorker: Anime Legends Announced Arrives On Mobile This Month

It's the end of the year, and it's time for rankings and awards. The latest issue of Weekly Famitsu prompted a hundred Japanese developers and industry personalities to rank their favorite games of 2017, and here you can find a translation of the full top 100. Yeah, that's a lot of titles to transl


EA announced its decision to bring its popular battle royale game Apex Legends to mobile devices last year, but fell more or less silent on the subject until its recent third-quarter earnings call. During the call, EA finally confirmed that the release of Apex Legends for mobile is moving forward as planned, as EA spent those months of radio silence locking in a publishing partner in Ch


While Teyvat may have, in many ways, been inspired by real life cultures and governments, plenty of work was put into developing the world. Every time the creators of that world make a decision on a piece Arena of Valor events lore, no matter the size, they have to ask themselves the question that players might ask: "But why?" They must come up with an answer to this question for every storytelling device they conceive. And miHoYo has done this on a massive scale in one game versus the many entries it took Nintendo to establish Hyrule in Zelda . So by saying that Genshin Impact is just a Breath of the Wild knockoff or clone , it could diminish the work the developer put into crafting this unique l


A mobile version of Apex Legends first come onto the radar during the game's season 2 content, but both EA and Respawn had little else to say at the time, and definitely no release date. While there's still no release date, EA at least offered a few more details as to how the mobile Apex Legends' development is currently far


In Breath of the Wild , players take on the role of Link, the tried and true protagonist of the Zelda franchise. Players have grown to know Link and his trials and tribulations over the past 34 years. As such, everyone knows Link is a mute, blank slate of a protagonist that must save the land of Hyrule through the power of cour


In its Q3 earnings call (the same call during which EA talked about the power of next-gen consoles ), EA revealed that the mobile game isn't being developed in-house; instead, EA partnered up with a Chinese company to both develop Apex Legends mobile for a global release and distribute it in China. According to EA CFO Blake Jorgensen, "Rolling mobile out in China, you need to have a partner, and we’re—as we’ve said in the prepared remarks today—we’re working with a partner there, and we’re very excited about the opportunity. That partner is also helping us develop a mobile Apex for the globe—more to come on that in terms of timing." EA's Chinese partner wasn't actually named in the call and considering it's fairly early in the partnership, that's likely the reason that EA doesn't have a release date for the game yet--although there is a release wind


There are a few caveats to the list. Like previous years, certain developers are plagued by massive backlogs or simply aren't up to date with what the rest of the industry is releasing. Others may have simply interpreted the question as related to the best games they played in 2017. So there are a few that voted for older games, which you'll see in the ranking. Apparently, the SNES Classic Mini was also considered a "game" by quite a


Genshin Impact , on the other hand, features 24 playable characters that seem completely fleshed-out, each with their own motivations and goals in Teyvat. Not only that, but these characters each have a unique feel to them with their own abilities that reflect their personalities, even within the same Element and Weapon type. Kaeya and Qiqi may both be long sword users that specialize in Cryo, but their skill sets are completely different from each other. Add in the fact that players can switch between multiple characters during combat on the fly, and it seems clear that Genshin Impact is striving for a different character experience than Breath of the Wi


As you probably noticed, the recently-released and extremely successful Dragon Quest XI does not appear in the ranking, and that's easily explained. It released in Japan on July 29th, over a week after the end of the survey. Due to that unfortunate timing, we won't be able to know how it would fare against Persona 5 for a wh


However, it seems this open world and the mechanics that come along with it have caused several players to talk for other reasons. Many players have taken to social media to compare the game to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild , calling it various nicknames like "Anime of the Wild" or "Breath of the Waifu" for its anime-like style of art. And while some players seem to feel that this comparison to the beloved Nintendo Switch title might be a compliment, it might actually be doing Genshin Impact a disserv


Recently, Respawn Entertainment made changes to Apex Legends ' new Battle Pass in response to the player backlash. Afterwards, the developer was asked on the game's subreddit why the developer made the initial changes to the Season 7 pass to begin with. The game director, Chad Grenier, provided a lengthy reply on the subject to dispel any unease over the mat
