Elder Scrolls: Legends First Impressions

It's safe to say that Heroes of Skyrim has shaken up the Legends online metagame, and has enticed a significant number of new players to give the game a look thanks to the iconic status of Skyrim. B ut it's mostly just more of the same - which is fine, for already entrenched players, but will do little to make dedicated players of Hearthstone or other titles consider jumping s


In Legends , the battlefield is divided into two lanes. This is part of where the game strays from the Hearthstone and Magic formula, though it is similar to the lane structure of SolForge . Players can place their creatures in either lane when they enter the battlefield, but the creatures can only attack opposing creatures that are in the same lane (they can also attack the opposing player of course). This introduces a very challenging new level of strategy, as players are forced to consider how to divvy up their forces, instead of just emptying their hand onto the battlefi


For those unfamiliar with the project, Elder Scrolls: Legends is a digital collectible card game that takes place, you guessed it, in the Elder Scrolls universe. Players have the option to work through a campaign against the AI to unlock cards, play against real opponents for fun or in ranked matches with pre-constructed decks, or draft a deck in the arena Of valor hero counters and play with a limited pool of cards. New packs can be unlocked as rewards, but there will also be in-game transactions that allow players to buy packs of cards with real world mo


Lastly, Falcom and Dengeki announced on November 6 a new event titled the Falcom Day 2020 Winter, to be held on December 20. The event will feature new information for Falcom's plans in 2021, multiple seiyuu (Japanese cast) from the Kiseki series, Toshihiro Kondo, and a live performance by Falcom jdk BAND. At this point, it's all but officially confirmed this is where the next game will be announ


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


A new job listing on Respawn Entertainment's website seems to suggest that a mobile version of Apex Legends is currently in the works. While the job listing itself says the company is looking for a senior game designer to work on "unannounced mobile games," it is under the Apex Legends section of the site, making it pretty obvious that the games in question are likely related to Apex Legen

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


In most games, one of the lanes is identified as a shadow lane and creatures played there can't be attacked by opposing creatures for a full turn (though they can be targeted by special abilities). This adds another layer of complexity to the lane mechanic, as players must also balance how many resources they want to place in the shadow lane. Splitting the board in half like this makes it feel a bit like managing two unique board states. This is great for players who enjoy a challenge and like the extra strategy, but could be intimidating to gamers who are new to C

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


This job listing seems to reconfirm what Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson during an EA Fireside Chat back in June. At that time, Wilson had stated that EA intended to do a soft launch of Apex Legends for mobile by the end of the year . However, with it almost being October, job listings for the project still being posted, and Respawn being focused entirely on the full Apex Legends experience and its cross-play update, that 2020 launch estimate is starting to seem unobtaina


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
