Interview: Conceptualizing Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel’s design with Producer Kenichi Kataoka
It’s been an exciting time for fans of the Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card game. With the release of Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel, the game is enjoying a level of popularity it hasn’t seen since it first came to the West way back in 2002. Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel is designed to be the full digital experience of the physical card game. It is something fans have requested for years. Now that they have it, they’re making their thanks known. The game skyrocketed to number four on the chart of Twitch’s most streamed games in just a week. And today, Konami announced that the game surpassed 20 million downloads since its launch in January. We sat down with Kenichi Kataoka, a producer on Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel and Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links, about the design process behind the game.
While Master Duel, of course, has a PvP mode, it also features a robust single-player mode called Solo Mode. Unlike some other previous games based on the series however, it does not focus on the stories from the anime and manga. I... New Kandarian Demon trailer shows how you can possess Ash in Evil Dead: The Game
Evil Dead: The Game has been delayed, erm, twice now, but the recent deluge of new trailers shows that go time is finally getting ever closer. For those who don’t know what the game is about, think of other asymmetric PvP games out there — like Dead by Daylight. Basically, you and a team of allies made up of heroes from the film take on the series’ baddies, controlled by another player. Yesterday, a new trailer for Evil Dead: The Game sprung up from Hell, showing off what it’s like to play as the Kandarian Demon. It’s also narrated by Bruce Campbell, which should be a treat for fans.
The Kandarian Demon allows you to take control of nearly everything, and everyone, else in Evil Dead: The Game. Empowered with the ability to possess just about anything, you can take control of player characters and objects to terrorize the good guys. In the trailer, we see how the demon can take over heroes like our buddy Ash. But you can also possess trees, vehicles, Dea... Lost Ark’s March update out now, adds limited-time racing event and first PvP season
After a bit of a tease earlier this month, Lost Ark's big March update is now here, introducing the previously confirmed new end-game raids and story quests, alongside a couple of additional treats, including a limited-time Arkesia racing event and its first PvP season.
The Arkesia Grand Prix, as the racing event is formally known, will be available for the next month until April's update, and pits two teams of seven players against each other in a race where everyone is transformed into a cute axolotl/triceratops things and must try to prevent the other team from reaching their goal. Cakes are involved.
Overwatch 2 closed beta launching next month, registrations now open
When last we heard from Overwatch 2, Activision Blizzard was making noises to suggest we might not see it until 2023; now, however, the publisher has announced plans to 'decouple' Overwatch 2's PvP features from its PvE systems in order to get the team-based shooter sequel into players 'hands sooner via series of betas scheduled to run throughout 2022.
The news comes via Overwatch 2 game director Aaron Keller in a newly released developer video, and his spin, it has to be said, is a little weird, framing the beta phases Blizzard has planned for the rest of the year as some sort of generous bounty for those existing Overwatch players who've been starved of content since the developer opted to focus its attention entirely on Overwatch 2. At one point he even argues the Overwatch 2 beta "represents the most new content we have brought to our game since launch."
