Both The Legend of Heroes: Hajimari no Kiseki and the game after it, now confirmed to be out by September 2021, were first teased by Falcom in March 2019 . Both games have been developed simultaneously. The next game will start a new arc and it's supposed to be the "Calvard arc". Both games were furthermore teased with screenshots and story hints  in June 2019, at the Kiseki  Series 15th Anniversary Event . Lastly, Falcom mentioned in November 2019  that a new Kiseki game would launch in Japan by September 2020. Hajimari was finally announced on December 18, 2019 , at a shareholders meet
Falcom explained its goals for its next fiscal year, ending in September 2021. Nihon Falcom was founded on March 9, 1981, and will thus be reaching its 40th birthday in 2021. To celebrate, multiple new console games will be released, including a new Trails / Kiseki Series g
Afterwards, Grenier stated the two key changes the team made to the Apex Legends Battle Pass and why they were made. First, Respawn streamlined the star system to reward more stars to players, in order to simplify how the battle pass system operates. Second, the difficulty was adjusted in order to lessen the amount of time players would have to spend engaged in the Apex Legends challenges . This change was made because Respawn received data showing that players were actually completing challenges much earlier than expected, leaving little post-content for t
To correct this, Respawn attempted to make the player progression in the game more engaging by providing greater challenges for players. The changes were made in a "calculated manner" with the expectation that players would have a better time with updated Apex Legends ' Season 7 content that would be more fulfilling. Especially without purchasing more Battle Pass levels to do so. Of course, the developer didn't count on the amount of grinding this would create, as well as the resulting player backlash that follo
Although Genshin Impact is similar to Breath Arena of Valor Items the Wild , it seems clear that these games accomplish very different goals. It's the same reason why someone wouldn't say Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is like Doom Eternal . Yes, they're both first-person shooter games, but that's about where the similarities end. And by saying Genshin Impact is like Breath of the Wild , it obfuscates the hard work that was put into the g
Nihon Falcom published on November 12 its latest financials , for its September 2019-September 2020 fiscal year, revealing in the process it will release multiple games by September 2021. Including a new Trails series / Kiseki series game. This will be the game starting the next arc, following The Legend of Heroes: Hajimari no Kiseki , released on PS4 (and PS5 ) on A ugust 27 in Japan and A
As you probably noticed, the recently-released and extremely successful Dragon Quest XI does not appear in the ranking, and that's easily explained. It released in Japan on July 29th, over a week after the end of the survey. Due to that unfortunate timing, we won't be able to know how it would fare against Persona 5 for a wh
With Apex Legends on track to earn $1 Billion for EA by 2021, it is unlikely that the company stops pushing and supporting the game anytime soon. If there is a gaming platform released without Apex Legends playable on it, it is a safe bet that it will not remain that way for l
Recently, Respawn Entertainment made changes to Apex Legends ' new Battle Pass in response to the player backlash. Afterwards, the developer was asked on the game's subreddit why the developer made the initial changes to the Season 7 pass to begin with. The game director, Chad Grenier, provided a lengthy reply on the subject to dispel any unease over the mat
While Teyvat may have, in many ways, been inspired by real life cultures and governments, plenty of work was put into developing the world. Every time the creators of that world make a decision on a piece of lore, no matter the size, they have to ask themselves the question that players might ask: "But why?" They must come up with an answer to this question for every storytelling device they conceive. And miHoYo has done this on a massive scale in one game versus the many entries it took Nintendo to establish Hyrule in Zelda . So by saying that Genshin Impact is just a Breath of the Wild knockoff or clone , it could diminish the work the developer put into crafting this unique l
With Apex Legends recently arriving on Steam , EA seems to be doing all they can to get the Respawn battle royale played by as many gamers as possible. With Apex Legends constantly being updated with balancing changes and new content like with other free-to-play titles, it is likely that the game will retain much of its player count and popularity for some time to come. The eventual mobile release will only see the Apex Legends ecosystem extend further, and it is a smart move to help give the game new l
