Most of you who clicked on this article must already know, but for years now, Falcom always releases one new game a year. And always on the last week of September. Hajimari no Kiseki is the sole exception as it launched on August 27, 2020. As such, it's surprising to hear Falcom will release at least two games in 2021. But makes sense considering it'll be a special year with the 40th annivers Though the title is already available on PC, Xbox One, and PS4, EA has already hinted at a possible mobile port coming in the near future. In EA’s Q3 2019 earnings call, which took place on the 5th of February, CEO Andrew Wilson emphasized the virtues of their new experie 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 The new map is Olympus, an abandoned floating city high above the Outlands planet of Psamathe. Respawn Entertainment has been teasing the map for some time, mostly through appearances in trailers for previous seasons, loading screen text, and the Broken Ghost quest. Back in October, the distinctive red aircraft that can be found in Olympus were added to the backgrounds of the Kings Canyon, World's Edge, and Firing Range m Wilson didn’t play coy in revealing to investors his intentions for their new property’s mobile port: it’s mostly for Asian markets. Much like Diablo Immortal , while it probably won’t do all that well state-side, EA stands to make quite a respectable chunk of change overseas where mobile games of this caliber are much more in demand. It’s hard to know what’s to come of Respawn’s newest game, but, for the moment, the future looks promis 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 This doesn't mean that Nintendo has no interest in pursuing the path of mobile games. On the contrary, they have stated their aim to release two or three mobile titles a year. Some had hoped we might see the Zelda mobile title in that push this year. But 2019 instead saw the release of Dr. Mario , Pokémon Masters , and Mario Kart To Plus, though the circumstances aren’t quite analogous, EA may risk upsetting consumers worn out over underwhelming mobile products. Blizzard recently learned that the hard way, as their Blizzcon reveal of the mobile-only Diablo Immortal went over about as well as PUBG ’s legal battle against Epic Games. Apex Legends' mobile launch may line EA’s pockets, but the publisher doesn’t exactly have much credibility to sacrifice at this po Falcom is already working on the next Ys game , thought we don't know if it's Ys X , a remake, or a spinoff. In the past, Toshihiro Kondo mentioned multiple developers at Falcom would like to make an Ys V remake so that might be it. Ys VIII Mobile is still in development as well. And a new Kiseki Vs Ys game can happen too. These are all games we could see in 2If the beginning of 2018 has taught us anything, it's that Dragon Ball Z can deliver a fantastic tournament fighter if it wants to. The high-octane fighting the franchise is known for lending itself well to the fighting genre and the next step for these otherworldly characters to test their power levels will be on the small screen in Dragon Ball Legends. Smartphones and tablets have become incredibly popular gaming platforms, though the nature Arena Of Valor Esports the touch controls seem like an unusual instrument for carrying out combos. After experiencing Dragon Ball FighterZ, it's only natural to have some skepticism about the format transferring to the small screen, but given Bandai Namco's recent track record, this title deserves to be examined with an open mind. With its huge variety of cultured and synthetic flora, Olympus is certainly the most colorful of Apex Legend 's three maps. The drab grass and volcanic soil of World's Edge is left behind, and every building in Olympus just reinforces how luxurious the city was. Interiors are awash with brushed metal, flawless glass, anti-gravity chandeliers and stunning views of the surrounding cloudscapes. Overall, Olympus has a radically different look to Apex Legends ' World's Edge , highlighting the disparity between the different societies that once occupied the derelict m
