The collaboration between Cookie Run: Kingdom and KPop ****** Hunters has officially launched. What at first glance seems like an unusual crossover between a game about cute pastries and a movie centered around K-Pop music makes much more sense after taking into account the fact that the developers of Cookie Run: Kingdom, Devsisters, are based in South Korea. The collaboration between its game and the two-time Oscar-winning film thus serves not only to promote both productions, but also provides an opportunity to highlight the Korean influences and elements that Devsisters has incorporated into its strategy RPG.

One way in which Marvel Rivals never ceases to impress me is when it comes to creative abilities. Sure, a few are copy-pasted from other hero shooters and a couple even take inspiration from other Marvel Rivals heroes, aka: ****** Cat's dash is very similar to ****** Panther's. But there's still so many unique ideas in this shooter, the latest example being ****** Cat micro-economy... Read more.View the full article
A new Marathon update finally adds the one thing it's been desperately missing - a reason to respect your fellow players. The immaculate style and Bungie's trademark FPS game fundamentals make Marathon easy to get into, but the immediately hostile nature of basically every encounter with another real person can quickly grow stale and frustrating. Compared to Arc Raiders, which has that 'will they or won't they' tension of trying to convince other teams to work alongside you, it's rather one-note. But not any more.

Mark your calendars, Pokopia fans. The game's next big limited-time event now has a date, and it stars the OG Grass Starter, Bulbasaur The limited-time event, called Bulbausar's Jump Rope Contest, kicks off on April 19 and will run until April 26 at 4:59am local time. As its name suggests, the event revolves around Bulbasaur's jump rope mini game, and prizes will be awarded based on players' scores. To earn points, you have to jump over Bulbasaur's vine jump rope without getting tripped up. While the event is live, players can compete alongside others in their worlds or on Cloud Islands in a multiplayer version of the event. "In another player’s world, both the host and guests can participate in the jump rope contest, including those playing in spectator mode," the event's official page reads. "The highest number of jumps recorded by any participating player will become that world’s high score, but only the host will receive prizes." Have you brushed up on your jump rope skills? Image via Nintendo Cloud Islands will work a little bit differently. All players on the island can participate, but the highest number of jumps by any participant will be attributed to the Cloud Island's high score. Only the player who logged that number of jumps will earn prizes. Though we don't currently know the full list of prizes available for players, we do know there will be a trophy for players to earn that they can then put on their islands to prove their skill. Though Pokopia's next limited-time event doesn't officially begin until April 19, you can start the festivities early by setting your Nintendo Switch 2's internal clock to the date through its console settings. If you're wanting to practice your jumping skills before it begins, though, you can currently try out Bulbasaur's jump rope mini game by talking to the Grass Starter. Pokopia's last limited-time event that introduced a new item to the game was the April Fools' Day event with the Inflatable Sudowoodo decoration. Before that, Hoppip, Skiploom, and Jumpluff made their debut in the life-sim with the "More Spores for Hoppip" event that introduced a host of themed items for the evolution line. According to data-mined info, the next event after Bulbasaur's will introduce Sableye and will require players to collect a new currency from Dream Islands much like Hoppip's Cotton Spores. The post Bulbasaur is hosting a jump rope contest in Pokopia, and yes, there are stakes appeared first on Destructoid. View the full article
The Ashes of Creation lawsuit continues to rumble on at pace, and former Intrepid Studios founder and game director Steven Sharif has delivered a fresh statement alleging a "deliberate misinformation and defamation campaign" against him. Astonishingly, it's been only two months since the dramatic implosion of the MMORPG and its studio, and a deep legal battle between Sharif and a group of investors led by Robert Dawson is ongoing. In his latest message, Sharif brings up a reported $250 million offer from League of Legends maker Riot Games, which he claims he was advised against accepting. Read the rest of the story...

God of Warhas bounced from one mythology to another in the past, but so far, each game has stuck with a fairly insular approach. While strains of the past emphasis on Greek mythology are still present in the Norse games, they're largely committed to their own setting. View the full article
