Initially, Splitgate made its mark towards the end of 2021. By merging portals with intense arena-style shooting action, this free-to-play game gained significant popularity due to a strong presence on social media platforms. As a result, it attracted nearly 70,000 concurrent players simultaneously on PC.
Here’s a look at the highlights before you jump into the action.
In the recently added roster, you’ll find both fresh faces created specifically for this game as well as characters that were previously featured in a game set within the same universe. Notably, many of the new original characters have connections to our main characters, Rias Eidreise and Slade Clauslyter.
One of the novel aspects introduced here is the Character Traits for Digimon, which function comparably to the Natures found in the Pokemon franchise. Unlike in other games where characters’ traits merely influence their stats, these traits in this game can additionally factor into the process of Digivolution, determining its requirements.
In Operation VERGE, you engage in intense 6 versus 6 battles, with the winning team being the first to accomplish a map-related objective such as capturing certain locations or escorting a vehicle. Ace Arena presents a fast-paced 3 versus 3 deathmatch where teams aim to eliminate eight opponents, and players can swap their mechs during combat. Operation Storm is Mecha Break’s extraction mode, set in the expansive Mashmak map, featuring both player-controlled and AI enemies, loot collection, and a race against time to reach the designated extraction point. You can choose to enter Mashmak with a team or solo, and there’s also co-op gameplay that allows you to explore restricted zones with boss fights or timed objectives.
At the livestream event, Daisuke Nagaoka, the game’s producer, offered additional information about why these characters were chosen as the initial members from their group. He pointed out that Rekka is the character most suggested for beginners, while Nishiki isn’t far behind in the recommendation list.
To recap, we’ve known since last May that this DLC will be released on July 17th. The recently published trailer provides a closer look at the gameplay interfaces, which were not shown in the previous one. Interestingly, this trailer was unexpected as Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot wasn’t included in the Summer Showcase’s teaser.
13 characters in our team serve as forwards, with some designed to haul and others to deceive. After dedicating time, analyzing strategies, and enduring numerous games, I’ve come to understand what’s effective and absolutely ineffective.
Kari Perez, who oversees communication at Xbox, clarified to The Verge that Phil Spencer has no plans to retire in the near future. This statement came after speculation by Call of Duty leaker GhostofHope suggesting that Spencer might leave his position as Microsoft’s Gaming CEO following the release of the next-generation Xbox console. If true, this would open the door for Xbox president Sarah Bond to take over. However, it has been confirmed that this rumor is false by Microsoft’s communications chief Frank Shaw on X.
As a devoted fan, I’m sharing some exciting news from Blizzard’s official blog post. The brilliant team behind Warcraft Rumble has shared their plans to keep the game thriving with regular updates focusing on in-game events, bug fixes, but no new content additions. This approach mirrors their current strategy with games like StarCraft II and Heroes of the Storm, as explained by Blizzard’s President Johanna Faires in an internal email about recent changes, which was later reported by Aftermath.
