Honkai: Star Rail RPG earns $42 million in first week of release

The new role-playing game, Honkai Star Rail, is taking the mobile gaming world by storm with its epic space fantasy theme and addictive gameplay. According to AppMagic, the game has raked in a whopping $42 million in revenue in just its first week of release, with China and Japan contributing a significant portion of the earnings.

The game’s vast, undiscovered territories and intricate mazes keep players entertained for hours on end. While it has a long way to go before it can surpass the revenue records set by its sister title Genshin Impact, which generated $245 million in its first month, Honkai’s consistency and strong start bode well for its future success.

But, in an amusing twist, Honkai’s popularity led to a mix-up in China. The Chinese Anti-Fraud Center mistakenly labeled the game as a scam, highlighting the need for better quality in the mobile gaming industry. It just goes to show that success can have its pitfalls.

Honkai’s rapid rise to success is a testament to its engaging gameplay and captivating storyline. Whether you’re a casual or hardcore gamer, this game is definitely worth checking out.

Cloud9 send Astralis packing to win Brazy Party 2023

Cloud9 came back despite being a map down to win the Brazy Party over Astralis.

Cloud9 vs Astralis Brazy Party 2023 Match Recap

  • Cloud9 Vs Astralis
  • Brazy Party Grand Final
  • Match Type: Best of 3 Online

Map Veto

  • Astralis removed Anubis
  • Cloud9 removed Nuke
  • Astralis picked Overpass
  • Cloud9 picked Vertigo
  • Astralis removed Mirage
  • Cloud9 removed Ancient
  • Inferno was left over

Map 1: Overpass (Pick: Astralis, Winner: Astralis, Final Score: 16:5)

Astralis got off to a flying start on Overpass, taking a comfortable lead of 5-0 over Cloud9 until it was Abay ‘HObbit’ Khassenov who locked out the Danes from the B bombsite with a 3K. 

Cloud9 tried to claw their way back in their opponents map pick which saw Sergey “Ax1Le” Rykhtorov and Dmitriy “sh1ro” Sokolov scramble for some last-minute duels to keep the ball rolling for the NA-based organization. The first half ended 10-5 in favor of Lukas “gla1ve” Rossander and company. 

Coming from the break, things just crippled further for Cloud9 as they just couldn’t pierce in through the reinforcements set up by Astralis as the latter ran away with a dominant second half and claimed Overpass under their name. The final score read 16:5 as Astralis went 1-0 up. 

Map 2: Vertigo (Pick: Cloud9, Winner: Cloud9, Final Score: 16:7)

Cloud9 on Vertigo started off the right foot only to trade rounds back and forth with Astralis who tried to recover after C9’s early lead of 4-1. But the Danes were just unable to check everything off their Strat list as the Russian lineup secured the first half, 9-6. 

The second half was a pure carbon copy of what happened on Overpass with Cloud9 leaving no stone unturned as H0bbit and his men claimed the pistol round to enter the double-digit scoreline. Cloud9 seemed to easily cruise into their map pick as they further continued to glare prominence, conceding just one round on their defense. It was sh1ro and Ax1Le all along who kept the Danes in check, helping their team to bag Vertigo 16-11. 

Map 3: Ancient (Ancient was left over in the Veto, Winner: Cloud9, Final Score: 16:12)

The final map of the series saw Cloud9 recovering from the pistol loss to rack up 5 straight rounds on their attack. Sh1ro’s 4k post-plant clutch saw Cloud9 go 8-4 up with Nicolai “dev1ce” Reedtz losing to his sniper counterpart while attempting to trick his way. A quick aggressive play from the duo of Lukas “gla1ve” Rossander and Alexander “Altekz” Givskov saw Astralis consolidate their grip towards the end of the first half which read 6-9 on the scoreboard. 

Astralis were quickly able to square off the 3-round deficit coming into the second half. But it was once again Cloud9 who left no room for errors as they were spotted running away with a 5-round lead, tallying the score to matchpoint before Benjamin “blameF” Bremer and gla1ve managed to put Astralis in a double-digit scoreline and putting up quite a show before Cloud9’s collective effort shut down their opponents as the former were declared champions of the Brazy Party 2023 and taking away the lion’s share of $130,000 USD from the prize pool.

Marvel’s Midnight Suns for the Nintendo Switch cancelled

Firaxis, the game developer behind the upcoming game, has just made a major announcement that has left some Nintendo Switch players feeling disappointed. Unfortunately, it has been revealed that the game will not be making its way onto the Nintendo Switch console. While the reason for this decision has not been explicitly stated, rumors have suggested that the Switch may not be able to handle the game’s graphics and mechanics.

However, if you’re a proud owner of an Xbox One or PlayStation 4, you’re in luck! The game is still set to be released on these consoles on May 11, 2023, just as originally planned. The fourth post-launch DLC will also be making its debut on this day, which will include new missions and introduce Storm to the character roster. And, if you’re feeling particularly daring, completing all four DLC campaigns will awaken an ancient monster of myth.

Not to worry though, as the Legendary Edition and Season Pass, both available at launch, will include all four DLCs. If you prefer, individual purchases will also be available on launch day.

Last year’s launch of Marvel’s Midnight Suns was met with positive reviews, particularly for its turn-based deck-building strategy and thrilling gameplay. However, some critics did note some shortcomings in the handling of side stories involving the superheroes, leading to some awkward moments.

While Nintendo Switch players may be feeling left out, Firaxis has promised that Marvel’s Midnight Suns will still be an exciting and engaging game for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners. Keep an eye out for more updates on this thrilling game!

Bethesda Accidentally Copyright-Strikes Redfall’s Twitter Account

Bethesda Accidentally Copyright-Strikes Redfall’s Twitter Account

In a rather droll twist of fate, Bethesda has made an unwitting error by erroneously copyright-striking Redfall’s official Twitter account, just a day prior to the highly anticipated game’s release.

This incident came to light when Twitter user PMS Jordan shared a screenshot of Redfall’s Twitter account, revealing a blocked banner photo. The text on the banner stated that the image had been “removed in response to a report from the copyright holder.”

Subsequent investigation revealed that Bethesda had been targeting leaked footage of the game on Twitter, and had implemented a bot to detect and report any Redfall-related content. Although successful in removing unauthorized game footage, the bot also caused an unexpected side-effect of blocking the game’s official Twitter account.

Weekend Warrior, a Twitter user, shed further light on the situation, revealing that Bethesda’s bot was the cause of the mishap. However, it remains unclear whether the company was using a bot to issue copyright strikes.

Fortunately, the Redfall Twitter account’s cover photo has since been reinstated to its original state. Nonetheless, it remains unclear whether this was due to the upload of a new image or a reversal of the strike.

This comical situation has drawn a great deal of attention, and serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of technology. Bethesda’s unintentional copyright strike on Redfall’s official Twitter account is undoubtedly a humorous gaffe that has left gamers in stitches.
