Among Us 2 cancelled, devs to focus on improving the first game

By 2 Mins Read

With the recent announcement of Among Us 2, the devs have confirmed just as easily that Part 2 has indeed been cancelled and will instead focus on adding all the content and improvements planned into the current game.

The announcement was made on a blog post by Developers Innersloth, saying that “All of the content we had planned for Among Us 2 will instead go into Among Us 1. This is probably the more difficult choice because it means going deep into the core code of the game and reworking several parts of it. We have lots of things planned and we’re excited to bring new content to everyone as you continue to enjoy playing!”

The planned improvements down the line will include Colorblind support, a friends / account system, a new stage (yay!), and continuous server improvements.

No schedule has been revealed for these improvements but we can expect it to take a while because of all the code support that the game will need to get it up to spec. We’re sure the fans won’t mind!

Similar to Fall Guys, Among Us was a surprise hit this year, not only for the fact that it isn’t a triple A game or that it wasn’t marketed heavily, but simply because it was a 2018 game that saw a huge resurgence due to a Twitch following.

Haven’t heard of Among Us and are interested about all the hype? Check out some gameplay videos below from PewDiePie and MrBeast.

Genshin Impact, the free-to-play action RPG, set for a September 28 PS4 release

By 2 Mins Read

As announced on the PlayStation Blog, Genshin Impact will be making its way to the PlayStation 4 on September 28, the same day it launches on the PC and Mobile devices as well. It is a free-to-play open world action RPG that, if you remember, was heavily maligned because it bore a striking resemblance to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. While it does have some similarities, extensive gameplay footage show marked differences as well.

The overview of the game reads as follows:

In Genshin Impact, you play as a mysterious being known as the Traveler. After you are suddenly separated from your sibling, you find yourself stripped of your former powers and helplessly stranded in a new unfamiliar world. You have arrived in Teyvat — a fantasy world where the seven elements flow and converge. But you are not alone. Here you will embark on an epic journey to find your lost sibling and unravel the many mysteries of this world, meeting a host of faithful companions along the way as well as powerful enemies who seek to challenge your quest.

The PlayStation version will have exclusive content along with a pre-order bundle that will give you a headstart in the world of Teyvat. PlayStation owners will get the “Sword of Descension” and “Wings of Descension” items that will require some gameplay to unlock. North American pre-orders are live as well for $9.99.

You can access the game via the PSN storefront of your respective region. For PC, head on over HERE. For mobile devices, HERE for iOS and HERE for Android.

New details and screenshots for Monster Rancher 2 have been revealed

By 3 Mins Read

Initially announced a couple of days back, Koei Tecmo have now released new information about the upcoming Monster Rancher 2 game scheduled to release in Japan later this year.

According to a post on 4Gamer, The game will retail for 2,820 Yen or around PHP1,400 but it is unclear which platform this pricing is for. Apart from featuring 400 monsters, the “Slate Reproduction feature from the original game also returns, allowing players to import their monsters from Monster Rancher into Monster Rancher 2.”

There will also be some sort of monster generation via “Disc Stone Reproduction”, which allows you to “enjoy monster reproduction by inputting the music information. With 20 years of music and the largest number of monsters in the series, you can enjoy creating monsters with twice the effect.”

You can view all of the new information and screenshots below (Via Gematsu)

The Fun of the Original Game Returns

Enjoy a Monster Rancher 2 significantly enhanced from the original Monster Rancher for Switch, iOS, and Android. Various elements and content have been enhanced, including 3D graphics, the “Part-Time Job” mini-game, and an increase in the total number of monsters from 200 to 400, the largest amount in the series. The “Slate Reproduction” feature from the original game also returns, allowing players to import their monsters from Monster Rancher into Monster Rancher 2.

*The method of monster reproduction via “Slate Reproduction” differs between the Switch and iOS / Android versions of Monster Rancher 2. You can only import monsters from the same platform. Depending on the type of monster, they may also change to a different type.

Enhanced from the Original

The port of the original Monster Rancher had bug fixes and fine-tuning from the original PlayStation release, and Monster Rancher 2 will go even further in that respect. Koei Tecmo gathered improvement feedback from series fans via the Monster Rancher series official Twitter account, and some of that feedback will be apparent in the game. The fun of the original game remains, but now with greater ease of play.

Enhanced Battles

In addition to downloading and battling against monsters raised by other players, features such as the Bluetooth controller support and tournament mode added to the port of the original Monster Rancher post-release will be supported in Monster Rancher 2 at launch. Enjoy genuine monster battles. Also, like the first game, the Switch version supports local two-player battles with one Joy-Con per player.

More “Music Reproduction”-Generated Monsters Added

“Disc Stone Reproduction,” Monster Rancher‘s key feature that lets you create monsters from CDs, was reproduced via a “Music Search” database for the port of the original Monster Rancher, and that database returns for Monster Rancher 2. Even if you do not own the CD itself, you can enjoy monster reproduction by inputting the music information. With 20 years of music and the largest number of monsters in the series, you can enjoy creating monsters with twice the effect.

Now Accepting Monster Requests

From July 9 to 27, Koei Tecmo will be running a “I Want this Monster to be Born from this CD” campaign, which invites users to combine “artist and song title” with “monster born from CD” on a special website. If you are lucky, the ideas you submit during the campaign may be adopted in the actual game.

Monster Rancher 2 is scheduled for a Fall 2020 release in Japan, no word yet on a Western release.
