Seven Knights 2, Netmarble’s acclaimed MMORPG sequel for mobile, has just received a new Mythic Hero, costumes, and more in its latest massive content update. 

The new addition to the game’s hero roster is Mythic Rudy, a Universal type Ranged hero whose special ability involves turning into a Demon after getting his hands on the God of Madness Buff. 

But his talents don’t end there. Mythic Rudy is also able to decrease the duration for which his allies are under the Crowd Control effect, meaning they can stay limber when facing off against lockdown teams. 

Then there’s PvP. Against other players, Mythic Rudy shrinks the Skill Cooldown of his allies when all targets have been revived. He recovers their HP, too, and imbues his team with a continuous damage duration increase as long as he’s in the fight. 

But Mythic Rudy isn’t just a collection of abilities. He’s a person, and you’ll get to meet him through a series of new story episodes. 

Finally, the latest Seven Knights 2 update adds a whole new outfit to collect. It’s called Costume of Moon Slicing Yacha Ace, and you can pick it up in two color palettes: Devilish Slash and Demonic Slash. 

Naturally, Netmarble has put on a series of events to mark the arrival of all this new content. 

From the top, the Rudy’s Ruby Event will let you obtain 1,111 Rubies a day for seven days by checking in between July 5th and September 13th. 

Also beginning on July 5th there’s the Check-In Event with Moon Slicing Yacha Ace, which gives you a series of rewards at certain intervals for checking in every day for two weeks. 

On the first day you’ll get Summon Vouchers, on the seventh you’ll get a Legendary+ Equipment Set Selection Chest, and you’ll get the Hero Summon Tickets on the 14th day. This one ends on August 2nd. 

Next, there’s the Month of 7K Carnival Event. This is a three-month bonanza running throughout July, August, and September, letting you earn various different rewards by completing missions. 

The actual rewards you’ll receive will vary depending on what kind of player you are: new, returning, or active.

Lastly, there’s the Super 7 Crafting Event Celebrating Month of 7K. Running from July 5th until July 19th, this one sees you completing missions in order to earn Super Seven Coins, and then using those coins to craft a Super Seven Box, containing Legendary Pet Summon Voucher Fragments and a variety of Summon Tickets. 

It’s all happening in Seven Knights 2. To join in the fun, head to the Google Play Store, the App Store, or the official site to download the game for free right now. 

MMORPGs have been stuck in a rut for some time now. The genre has had its heyday, and is now propped up by a small collection of evergreen titles like Final Fantasy XIV or The Elder Scrolls Online. These are great games, but they don’t really provide that hit of nostalgia some of us are looking for.

Enter Ancients Reborn, a brand new take on the classic MMORPG. This mobile entry takes the foundations laid down by the likes of RuneScape or Albion, providing a huge open world to explore with your friends or strangers.

But its real strength lies in its robust crafting, skilling, and player-driven economy systems. Just like in RuneScape, you can spend time developing a variety of different skills, from blacksmithing, to fishing, to woodcutting. While doing so, you’ll gather resources that you can turn into vital equipment and items that you can then sell to other players.

That’s where that economy comes in. You can sell your items in the marketplace, or your very own in-game store. Then, you save your cash in the bank. Using these systems, you can run your very own business in-game, never needing to lift an actual sword and fight.

Those who do like to battle will find plenty to keep them busy though. You can complete quests and fight monsters to level up, take on challenging dungeons to test your skills, or just explore and see what you can find.

The world might be big, but that doesn’t mean it’s a chore to wander about. You can unlock a variety of mounts to help speed up travel. If you like animals in general, you should be pleased to learn that you can also unlock pets to join you on your adventure.

So, basically, if you like classic MMORPGs like RuneScape or Albion Online, you’ll find plenty to like here. It provides a similar gameplay experience, but with visuals that are more reminiscent of the early days of the genre.

So head on over to Google Play or the App Store to grab Ancients Reborn right now for free. You can also keep up to date with the latest Ancients Reborn news at the official Discord.

Games are available on multiple devices, including PCs, consoles, mobile phones, etc., and PCs and consoles have always dominated the market, but with smartphones becoming more powerful day by day, the player base has shifted a lot. 

Based on the survey conducted by ExpressVPN, 70% of people out of 1,000 professed gamers in the U.S. and 1,000 in the UK have said that their preferred platform is a mobile phone, making them the number 1 gaming device.

It doesn’t mean that PC and console gaming has faded away, as 61% of the gamers who participated in the survey love to play on consoles, and 50% of them like PC gaming. 

However, the high percentage of people playing mobile games is an interesting fact, and according to Astra from Ninjas in Pyjamas, “It makes sense because the phone is a device we use 24/7 in our daily lives for everything. Buying extra consoles or even a PC costs much more. The phone, in a sense, is kind of all-in-one (gaming, calling, watching, etc.).”

A lot of publishers are trying to target mobile gaming audiences, which is why many popular titles like Call of Duty, PUBG, Genshin Impact, and more are available for mobile devices, with more releasing soon, including Valorant Mobile, Call of Duty: Warzone, etc. 

“I’ve already seen a few mobile LAN tournaments pop up that are adapted from the same areas where I’ve competed,” Aleksib from Ninjas in Pyjamas tells ExpressVPN. “Mobile games are just getting bigger and bigger.”

Sacred Summons, Appguru Technology’s popular Asian MMORPG, finally has a global release date – and it’s right on top of us. 

According to the press release we’ve just received, Sacred Summons will be available in North America, Australia, Indonesia, Europe, the Philippines, and a number of other regions on April 18th. 

That’s pretty much now. 

Sacred Summons is already a massive hit in Asia. More than 10 million players have downloaded it so far, while the recent Open Beta for the global release attracted over 250,000 eager MMO fans. 

Those fans helped the game’s developers to create a number of tweaks and improvements, all of which will be included in the full release.

They include more balanced pets, summons, and class skills, along with improvements to a raft of game features including event rewards, daily rewards, loot drop rates, server downtime rewards, summoning rates, and more.

There’s some brand new content to enjoy, too, with story quests, cosmetic items such as wings and costumes, and a whole new class making their first appearance in this global version. 

Here’s the lowdown on what could be one of the biggest mobile titles of the year. 

Sacred Summons is a graphically lush MMORPG that sees you playing as a Summoner, charged with defending the human realm from the evil forces of Chaos. 

Your first task is to pick a class from the six available, each one representing a different style of combat. There’s DPS, ranged, melee, and more, and once you’ve made your choice you get to customize your character’s skin tone, hairstyle, and much, much more.

There are more than 40 Guardians to summon into your stable, and over 100 different cosmetic items to collect, equip, and upgrade. 

Gameplaywise, you’ll spend your time completing story quests, taking on World Bosses either alone or with your fellow players, amassing loot in a range of different casual modes, and going toe to toe with human opponents in PvP. 

To begin your Sacred Summons adventure, head to the Google Play Store or the App Store on April 18th and get downloading.

It’s not hard to find a casual arcade game on Google Play or the App Store, but it can be hard to find a good one. 

For every Crossy Road, there are roughly a billion duds, clogging up your storefront and blocking your path to true happiness. 

What you need – what we all need – is for our games to be professionally validated, and PXLPLAY comes with some of the most impressive validation around.

Not only was it a finalist at the Pocket Gamer Connect Seattle 2023 Big Indie Pitch event, but the studio behind PXLPLAY reached the finals in the Best Indie Developer of the 2023 Pocket Gamer Mobile Games Awards too. 

If you haven’t played PXLPLAY yet, here’s what you’ve been missing. 

Created by indie developer Pixel Play LLC, PXLPLAY is an arcade game in the tradition of titles like Crossy Road and Pac-Man 256. 

That means it’s simple to play and boasts a colorful 3D art-style that manages to be both cleanly minimal and packed with charming detail. 

The aim of the game is to survive an endless series of randomly generated stages. You start off playing as PXL, a loveable cube bouncing along a floating platform, collecting smaller cubes that translate into points, which translate into leaderboard supremacy. 

Over time you get to unlock more than 80 different characters, so if PXL doesn’t float your boat you’ll have plenty of options. 

Each of the game’s suspended walkways is full of twists and turns – by which we mean sharp right angles. To stay on solid ground you need to tap on the screen to change direction whenever you reach a corner. 

The same action lets you activate power-ups whenever you bounce over them, allowing you to shrink under high obstacles, vault over low ones, expand in size, and temporarily speed up. 

And that’s pretty much the game. PXLPLAY is rated for EVERYONE on Google Play, and it’s part of the Families Program, so it’s genuinely one for the whole family.

You can download PXLPLAY for free right now on the App Store and Google Play.

Netmarble is back again with a brand new update for Seven Knights 2. It introduces a brand new hero, Iota, alongside a water festival-themed event, celebrating the nicer weather to come.

First, that hero. Their full title is Roar of Tarragon Iota, but it’s Iota for short. This melee fighter is a DPS powerhouse that can also support their allies with heals, recovery, and faster attack speed while dishing out the damage.

But what of that festival? Well, it’s made up of four separate events, all of which shower you with rewards for participating. It goes by the title of the Water Festival and kicks off with a check-in event that gifts you for logging in a total of seven days while it’s live.

Then there’s the Shoot and Loot event. In this, you play as Cosette and have to fire water guns to earn Mythic Upgrade Stones, Pet Fragment Chests, and Rubies. Meanwhile, a crafting event helps you to unlock Iota’s event outfit, as well as netting you Mythic Enhancement Stones, Pet Fragment Chests, and more.

Rounding up the festivities is a level-up event for Iota themself. First, unlock Iota, then level her up to at least level 36 to start gaining rewards every two levels to a maximum of 58. These rewards include Iota Soulstones, Water Festival Coins, and Universal Soulstone Shards.

You can check out the brand new hero Iota, as well as the Water Festival, by grabbing Seven Knights 2 from the App Store, Google Play, or on PC right now.

IGG – the studio behind megahits like Lords Mobile and Clash of Lords – is bringing a whole new Viking-based IP to mobile. 

Viking Rise’s pre-registration campaign is currently in full swing ahead of an imminent launch. The game will be available for both the Google Play Store and the App Store on 14th April.

If you’re familiar with IGG’s library of games, you won’t be surprised to learn that Viking Rise is an accessible and graphically impressive 3D strategy MMO.

It boasts a distinctive graphical style that employs new 3D modeling techniques to create super-realistic character models and film-level fight animations. 

Gameplay-wise, Viking Rise sees you taking on the role of a Viking chief leading their tribe into the new world of Midgard. 

This uncharted continent contains opportunities and dangers in equal measure. Developing your tribe earns you wealth, fame, and power – but you’ll have to fight to hold onto these prizes as other players attempt to carve out their own destinies on Midgard. 

To aid you in your quest you’ll be able to summon a variety of recognisable heroes from Viking and Norse mythology. These heroes can help you out by making gameplay suggestions and carrying out management tasks on your behalf. 

Given the martial nature of Viking culture, you can expect an awful lot of thrilling, strategic combat. But Viking Rise also offers incredibly deep city management.

Not only can you recruit soldiers to fight for your cause, but you can bring in workers to collect, hunt, build, and carry out other tasks within a unique day/night cycle. Plus, you can choose whether to turn your stronghold into a commercial trade center, a resource hub, or a military fortress. 

In other words, you can tailor the gameplay in Viking Rise to suit your own style. 

There’s a huge amount of stuff to do in Viking Rise, from exploring the seas in your Drakkar Ship to taking on multiplayer boss dungeons with your fellow alliance members.

Valhalla is calling! Head to the Google Play Store or the App Store and pre-register now to get your campaign of terror started the instant the game is launched!

If you’re a returning player, meanwhile, you can earn Mythic Weapon Selection Tickets, Legendary+ Hero Summon Vouchers, Mythic Armor Summon Vouchers, Legendary Pet Summon Vouchers, and Legendary+ Pet Summon Voucher Fragments, among other prizes. 

The other event is called Immortal Lightning Empress Eileene Upgrade Support & Step Up Summon Challenge Event, or ILEEUSSUSCE for short. 

Despite its epic name, this event is a pretty straightforward affair that sees you acquiring various rewards that increase in value and abundance as your level goes up. 

Finally, there’s a new Legendary+ Platin Special Pass, activated using Legendary+ Platin Special Coins. You obtain these by checking in, playing upgrade dungeons, and clearing missions.
