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
Both PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and Fortnite have proven how successful mobile versions of console and PC battle royales can be, and it is easy to see why EA would like to replicate that success with Apex Legends . Call of Duty is another major AAA title that successfully transitioned to mobile devices, with the game’s many achievements making Activision Blizzard want more mobile games for all its major franchises. While EA may not be looking to go quite that far just yet, the release of Apex Legends on iOS and Android devices makes plenty of sense from a business standpo
Lastly, Falcom and Dengeki announced on November 6 a new event titled the Falcom Day 2020 Winter, to be held on December 20. The event will feature new information for Falcom’s plans in 2021, multiple seiyuu (Japanese cast) from the Kiseki series, Toshihiro Kondo, and a live performance by Falcom jdk BAND. At this point, it’s all but officially confirmed this is where the next game will be announ
With the release of Hajimari , the Trails / Kiseki series has now sold over 5 million copies worldwide. Falcom stated it will keep developing new IPs, alongside its flagship IPs such as the Ys series and the Trails ser
Wilson didn’t play coy in revealing to investors his intentions for their new property’s mobile port: it’s mostly for Asian markets. Much like Diablo Immortal , while it probably won’t do all that well state-side, EA stands to make quite a respectable chunk of change overseas where mobile games of this caliber are much more in demand. It’s hard to know what’s to come of Respawn’s newest game, but, for the moment, the future looks promis
Though the title is already available on PC, Xbox One, and PS4, EA has already hinted at a possible mobile port coming in the near future. In EA’s Q3 2019 earnings call, which took place on the 5th of February, CEO Andrew Wilson emphasized the virtues of their new experie
In Legends , the battlefield is divided into two lanes. This is part of where the game strays from the Hearthstone and Magic formula, though it is similar to the lane structure of SolForge . Players can place their creatures in either lane when they enter the battlefield, but the creatures can only attack opposing creatures that are in the same lane (they can also attack the opposing player of course). This introduces a very challenging new level of strategy, as players are forced to consider how to divvy up their forces, instead of just emptying their hand onto the battlefi
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steeel 4 was just released in English by NIS America on PS4. The game is coming in 2021 on Switch and PC.

The once-opulent city of Olympus was abandoned after a Phase Rift threatened to destroy it. The disaster was centered around a Phase research station, in the Phase Gateway region of the city, yet players will be able to use this Phase Rift to teleport by getting up close and personal in the Rift reg
It’s no secret that Electronic Arts is eager to muscle in on territory previously claimed by games like Fortnite and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds , and, since those games have long since received mobile translations , it makes sense that the publisher would want to combat the competition on every possible fr
Dropping almost out of the blue on Electronic Art’s Origin platform last Monday, Respawn Entertainment’s Apex Legends has picked up an incredible amount of steam in the few days it’s been available for download. In a space seemingly cluttered with dime-a-dozen Fortnite wannabes, EA’s new title, which is set in the Titanfall universe, is proving to be a legitimate contender in the extremely competitive battle royale Arena Of Valor Patch Analysis. Time will tell if it manages to maintain a sizable player-base, but, for the moment, it certainly has everyone’s attent
Falcom only develops on PS4, PS5 nowadays, with Switch and PC ports being handled by outside companies. Clouded Leopard Entertainment , who handles Asia localizations. And NIS America, who handles the Western localizations. As such it’s likely the games Falcom launches in 2021 will first be exclusives to PS4 and
