We had an interaction with Xin ‘Machine’ Ma, VP of GOAT Games, and Laurent Crozier, Executive Producer at Gameloft to talk about the upcoming Dungeon Hunter 6. In this exclusive interview with GamingonPhone, the spokespersons talked about all things Dungeon Hunter!

Dungeon Hunter 6 will take place 200 years after DH5

GOAT Games has an exclusive licensing deal with Gameloft to develop this newest title in the Dungeon Hunter series. We started with why Dungeon Hunter and not any other IPs considering Gameloft has many popular IPs including the NOVA franchise. While answering that Mr. Machine Ma explained the depth and likeness of the Dungeon Hunter series and also mentioned the loyal fanbase of this classic MMORPG. For a mobile game in the past decade, things were a lot different, and still the game managed to come up with 5 titles and that simply talks about its dedicated fan base and popularity.

The storyline for Dunger Hunter VI, however, will continue after 200 years of Dungeon Hunter V. Mr. Crozier did not reveal much about it concerning spoilers. And it is totally understandable, we would rather wait and explore it on our own. We also discussed whether the game will follow the same style of both PvP and PvE, and yes, those will be there. The game will have story expansion with future updates.

Dungeon Hunter 6 will also have social features and an extensive guild system. For an MMORPG like this, the guild plays an important role and while we talked in brief about it, Mr. Machina Ma confirmed that there will be an extensive social system to keep the players engaged. This will be a rewarding experience as well as provide the players with a sense of belonging.

There will be a Class system and an extensive Arsenal

The game will feature a class-based combat. As of now, there are five classes – Warrior, Assassin, Archer, Mage, and Boon Sister. There will also be Lieutenants for the players to choose from.

Players will have the option to customize their characters with different types of gear and weapons and each of them will have its own rarity. As the players explore the game, they will be rewarded with better equipment and they can also get superior items from raids, boss fights, etc.

We also discussed the game’s monetization system a little, however, it is under wraps for now and going to be a surprise for the fans!

Dungeon Hunter 6 global release is starting in October

As confirmed during the interview by Mr Machine Ma, Dungeon Hunter 6 will start its global release in phases, starting on October 13, 2023. The game will launch in the United States and a few countries in its first phases and then slowly expand to other regions.

Gamescom 2023 Mobile Games Announcements Overview

The opening night opened to a couple of mobile game news and updates, but overall, we did get to see two important announcements in Marvel Snap and a new title announcement from Super Evil Megacorp, which will be a follow-up to an upcoming movie series. gamescom ONL also teased Delta Force Hawk Ops which later fully revealed the next day.

Marvel Snap arrives to PC

Popular and award-winning strategy card title on mobile, Marvel Snap, officially announced the game’s arrival on PC via the Steam client. Although we mobile fans didn’t get any in-game announcements, in particular, the Twitch Drops event to celebrate the game’s PC launch was helpful in earning rewards.

Rebel Moon by Super Evil Megacorp

Another interesting announcement for mobile came in the form of Super Evil Megacorp confirming a new Netflix game based on Rebel Moon. This will be based on popular American film director Zack Snyder’s upcoming action sci-fi film based on the same name.

In this two-film project, the first movie of the series, Rebel Moon: A Child Of Fire, will be out on the 22nd of December 2023, and the sequel, Rebel Moon: Scargiver will hit the theatres on the 19th of April 2024. The game will follow up on the story of the second, where players pick their rebel character and team up for wild missions in a four-player co-op setting.

Day 1: August 23

The first day of Gamescom 2023 had the much-awaited Level Infinite showcase, which presented interesting details regarding the upcoming mobile titles such as Tarisland and Assassin’s Creed Jade, while we also got to see some HoYoverse gameplay trailers, which were pleasing to the eye and added to the overall excitement of the day.

Assassin’s Creed Jade gets a new logo

Level Infinite in their ‘Into the Infinite‘ showcase made it official that Assassin’s Creed Codename Jade is now simply called Assassin’s Creed Jade, with the “Codename” tag taken off from the original title. In addition, a logo was unveiled.

This concluded with the announcement for the 2nd Closed Beta Test of Assassin’s Creed Jade. This will be arriving with new features, which, along with the date, hasn’t been revealed yet. To note, the first closed beta kicked off on the 3rd of August 2023, which went over a week and concluded on the 11th of August.

Tarisland to conduct second closed beta in November

Another important update for the awaited fantasy MMORPG Tarisland arrived with the scheduling of its second closed beta test in November 2023 and will be conducted within select regions from Europe, Asia, and America. We did get additional confirmation from the developers that Tarisland’s 2nd CBT will be arriving with more rich game content, much to the fans’ delight.

This came after the game entered closed beta tests exclusively in China this June and was shared by the developers at the SPARK 2023 annual conference which concluded in May before early access for Android in select regions. However, the release date with this would be more delayed for sure, but hopefully, it won’t be a wait.

Command & Conquer: Legions game reveal trailer showcased

We also got to see some additional information being revealed about the newly announced installment in the Command & Conquer series through an exclusive trailer. Also, on August 25, a new test phase will commence for Android players in Australia, Canada, France, Mexico, New Zealand, and the Philippines, with other regions to follow later this year.

For those who do not know, the title was first named Project C&C before being renamed Command & Conquer: Legions. The reason behind the hype is that the game draws its inspiration from the well-known Command & Conquer series which were real-time strategy games.

Delta Force: Hawk Ops game reveal

Day 1 of the event gave us more info about the global announcement of Delta Force that happened the same week. The renowned tactical first-person action shooter, inspired by the Black Hawk Down movie, will be available to players across console, PC, and mobile platforms upon launch. The dev deep dive gave us more insights into the game, its features, operator abilities, and more.

This came after the game’s China reveal in July, which wasn’t any rich in detail but had drawn a resemblance to the now-defunct game Area F2. Upon arrival, the developers of Delta Force: Hawk Ops have confirmed that the game will feature both Campaign and Multiplayer modes.

Genshin Impact unveils exciting updates and concert tour

Kicking off with the HoYoverse universe, Genshin Impact’s Version 4.0 has announced the arrival of its fifth nation, Fontaine. To the delight of fans, the game also announced its inaugural international offline concert series, Genshin Concert Tour: Melodies of an Endless Journey.

This global tour is set to take place between Q4 2023 and Q1 2024, spanning 12 different cities which will be carried over in 2024 as well. The first tour will be starting from Singapore on October 2nd, and concluding in Germany on January next year. You can check here for more details.

Zenless Zone Zero showcases an anticipated update

Through an engaging trailer and the presence of Zhenyu Li, the game’s producer, on stage, viewers were treated to a sneak peek of the exhilarating action gameplay, distinctive aesthetic styles, and the latest developmental progress of this upcoming action RPG Zenless Zone Zero.

In May last year, Zenless Zone Zero opened registration for its closed beta test where sneak peeks of the game were shared in the Summer Game Fest 2022. However, after a year of initial announcement, we finally got to see something worthwhile. Given the game has been in development for over a year, this should come as a delight to fans.

Honkai: Star Rail showcases new trailer

The final HoYoverse showcase was with their recent hit title Honkai: Star Rail. In the latest trailer for the anime RPG, the spotlight was on Fu Xuan as she assumes the role of a general, actively contributing to the reconstruction efforts of Luofu. The viewers were treated to once again fantastic visuals, which might have ignited thoughts from non-players as well.

Each character possesses a core movement skill like parkour, swinging, or wall-climbing.

The post Gamescom 2023 Mobile Gaming News and Announcements appeared first on GamingonPhone.

Why would a presence in the mobile games market for Xbox be the move to make

According to Phil Spencer in his interview with Eurogamer, he acknowledges the importance of catering to the mobile gaming market in order to get a stronghold in today’s gaming industry. In the words of Mr. Spencer, “It is about a capability on mobile, and some broader ambitions that we have on the largest gaming platform, which is mobile phones.” Thereby confirming his wish as the CEO of Xbox to make some moves relative to the mobile gaming market in the near future.

By bringing original mobile games, Xbox will attract a much larger group of individuals to their brand and make their products and projects a lot more viable with more room for creativity given the diversity of platforms. With mobile games on board, the brand will become an esteemed platform for mobile games as well as console games as it is right now.

How Xbox plans to execute the said plan

The primary plan of Xbox in order to get a stronghold in the mobile gaming industry is their acquisition of Activision Blizzard which owns the Call Of Duty Mobile franchise as well as King, the popular mobile game developer behind the Candy Crush IP, which is also part of the Activision deal. In fact, he even stated that the main reason behind the $68.7 million plan to acquire Activision Blizzard is for their mobile gaming capabilities, something that Microsoft’s Xbox is lacking.

When asked about a plan B regarding mobile games on Xbox if the Activision Blizzard deal does not materialize, Phil Spencer said that the thought was not something he had considered and that the company would push for a footing in the mobile gaming market either way. He also said that the previously mentioned idea of an Xbox Mobile Gaming App Store is still in the books and will materialize.

We think that’s important, yeah. So that’s something we’re looking at as well. And when we look at that the reason we think content is important there is, ‘how do you attract people to your stores?’

Phil Spencer, CEO of Xbox about the possibility of a Xbox Mobile Gaming App Store

From this interaction between Mr. Spencer and Eurogamer, we can conclude that Microsoft is indeed very serious about securing a spot in the mobile gaming industry if they cite it as the main reason behind a whopping $68.7 million deal. He said that the company is optimistic about the deal and that it will be the breakthrough they need at this stage in order to capture the mobile gaming market by getting mobile games on Xbox.

The gameplay showcase of Assassin’s Creed Jade gave a glimpse of what’s in store for the fans

The gameplay showcase of Assassin’s Creed Jade offered fans an interesting preview of what awaits them. As previously announced, the game is set in ancient China, and the visuals vividly capture the essence of traditional architecture, including the Great Wall of China, creating a compelling atmosphere. You easily get involved and might even rewatch to see the bits if you missed any, because that’s how good the presentation is.

Another noteworthy aspect is the new logo, which is notably more appealing compared to its predecessors. It retains the shape and style reminiscent of a dynamic moving arrow akin to the traditional design of Assassin’s Creed games, while also incorporating Chinese cultural symbolism with dragon heads on each side, alongside a lighter shade of green mixed with gold.

First announced by Ubisoft in 2022 through its Ubisoft Forward showcase titled Project Jade, we got more insights later that year thanks to a few gameplay snippets. However, on the 18th of July, they officially confirmed the name as Assassin’s Creed Codename Jade and announced the first closed beta. It kicked off on the 3rd of August 2023, which went over a week and concluded on the 11th of August.

How to register for Assassin’s Creed Jade 2nd Closed Beta Test

The registration process, however, is the same procedure as the previous round. Interested participants will need to visit the official website where players can enroll for the beta tests using their email addresses and receive a code to enter.

As of now, the specifics about the Closed Beta remain undisclosed, including the period of testing, new features added, and the rest. While the announcement has been made, no detailed information has been provided, which might be made known before the commencement of the test.

As of now, Ubisoft has chosen not to reveal any details concerning the official release date. With the pace at which the tests are going, there is hope that the announcement regarding the release will arrive soon. Stay tuned for further updates on the game as more information becomes available.

Delta Force: Hawk Ops will feature both Campaign and Multiplayer

The original Delta Force was known for its absolute ‘tip of the spear’ shooting and the core gameplay is expected to provide the same experience in this new title as well. In an interview with IGN, the game’s producer Shadow Guo revealed that “Our objective is to uphold the authentic essence of the original Delta Force game while infusing a near-future flavor from both artistic and narrative perspectives.”

As a Producer Mr. Guo’s first game was Delta Force and he mentioned the long-lasting impact the game had on him. The developers at TiMi Studios are working on developing the game and they’re creating a captivating storyline that has a fair balance of realistic gameplay, photogrammetry for 3D world creation, and tactical military movements. The development team has also taken help from Special Forces personnel to imbibe a true military experience.

The campaign mode for Delta Force Hawk Ops is inspired by the Black Hawk Down movie. If you have watched the movie, you already know how good it was, if you have not, make sure to watch it once before you start playing the campaign. On the other hand, this game is also made in a way to accommodate a large-scale PVP multiplayer combat to keep the game true to its original 1998 version.
