Free Fire OB31 Update: All You Need To Know

Every few months, Free Fire receives upgrades that enhance its experience. The previous version, dubbed the OB30 patch, was published in late September and offered a significant quantity of new material.

Users are already looking forward to the upcoming OB31 update and are waiting with bated breath for it to arrive. Here’s when players might be able to get their hands on it.

Although this is one of the most discussed subjects in the game’s community, the developers have yet to announce a release date for the OB31 update.

The preceding releases, on the other hand, followed a pattern in that they were released a day before the end of the Clash Squad Ranked Season and Gold Royale.

Given that the current season and Gold Royale will expire on December 1, 2021, the OB31 patch might arrive as early as November 30, 2021, which is only three weeks away.

On the day of the patch, there will be a maintenance break, and users will be unable to access the game.  This usually occurs between the hours of 9:30 a.m. IST (GMT +5.30) and 6:00 p.m. IST (GMT +5.30).

However, it should be noted that this is simply a guesstimation, and Garena will give a precise release date in the coming weeks, so players should stay tuned.

Additionally, before OB31 is released, a Free Fire Advanced Server will most likely be made accessible, allowing users to test out the new capabilities before they are officially implemented.

Ubisoft Confirms Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Tombs Of The Fallen DLC Following Leak

After the information of un-announced DLC in works for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla leaked on the internet, Ubisoft has officially announced that Valhalla is set to receive a new, free update named Tombs of the Fallen on 9th November (tomorrow).

As part of the game’s roadmap for 2021, Ubisoft revealed that four pieces of content are coming to the game before the end of the year. The first is Title Update 1.4.0, which releases the same day as Tombs of the Fallen on November 9. Later, a “Free Time-Limited Event” dubbed “The Oskoreia Festival” will run between November 11 and December 2. The final piece of content will be the Title Update 1.4.1, which will release later in December.

The DLC was first spotted by players through PlayStation Trophies, where two new trophies — Spelunker trophy and Crypt-ologist were available. This confirmed that Ubisoft has some unreleased content in the works which will be available soon. 

Another leak also suggests that aside from Tombs of the Fallen, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s next major expansion could be titled ‘Dawn of Ragnarök’. As per datamined information, the expansion will be set in the dwarven realm of Svartalfheim and will introduce a range of new abilities and weapons for protagonist Eivor.

Previously, Ubisoft had noted that Assassin’s Creed Valhalla had built on a strong commercial start to become the “second-largest profit-generating game” in the company’s history. Ubisoft also promised that Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will receive a second year of expansions update—a first for the series. The developer also confirmed that a new project codenamed Assassin’s Creed Infinity is in the works will be revealed in 2022.

Harry Potter: Magic Awakened Rakes In $228 Million In Revenue Just Two Months After Its Launch

Mobile game Harry Potter: Magic Awakened based on the legendary Warner Bros series — Harry Potter, has generated more than $228 Million in revenue since its launch on 9th September 2021. 

The game is developed by Warner Bros and NetEase under the publisher Portkey Games. The game was released as part of WB’s initiative to celebrate the upcoming 20th year release anniversary of Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone–also known as The Sorcerer’s Stone–in cinemas. The game was first released in China and Taiwan on 9 September 2021. Right now, WB plans to first release the game in the Asian market by the end of this year and then release the game worldwide starting next year. 

Harry Potter: Magic Awakened is an RPG story-telling and card-based combat game. Its story starts ten years after the final Battle of Hogwarts i.e. 10 years after the final battle in Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows: part 2. The game story follows the adventures of a muggle-born young boy who receives an unexpected visit from giant Rubeus Hagrid. Hagrid came to deliver the letter of acceptance to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Later he explains about the existence of the wizarding world and asks the player to accompany him to Diagon Alley where they will purchase necessary supplies for the first year of school. Upon the player’s arrival at Hogwarts, a mystery begins to unfold on the grounds where one of the first years, Ivy Warrington, goes mysteriously missing after the Sorting Ceremony. Thus kick-starting the beginning of adventures of players at Hogwarts.

The story is heavily borrowed from the first book of the series masking it an instant banger for fans of the series.

In terms of global player spending across the different games released under the Harry Potter IP, Magic Awakened already cements its place on the No. 2. While the No. 1 title is Hogwarts Mystery released in 2018, which has made approximately $342 million to date. Ranking No. 3 is Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells from Zynga released in 2020 with about $135 million in revenue. While Harry Potter: Wizards Unite from Niantic, launched in 2019 in partnership with Warner Bros, ranks No. 4 with only $39.4 million and will shut down next year.

The early success of the Magic Awakened easily marks the game as the best game implementation of the franchise IP and with the worldwide release next year the game will surely make more in revenue.

Fortnite Servers to Shut Down in China

Fortnite is one of the most popular modern-day battle royales out there in the video gaming world. The title by Epic Games has set several records in terms of player base and continues to be enjoyed by millions of fans worldwide to this day since its initial release in July 2017.

Unfortunately, players in China will no longer be able to enjoy Fortnite as Epic Games has announced that the company is going to shut down all the live servers in the country.

This comes after the decision of the National Press and Publication Administration (NPPA) in China to limit the gaming time of children. NPPA, which is the main regulatory body for media and video games in China, has limited the video gaming time of anyone under 18 years of age to only three hours a week through a new set of rules in August 2021. Children are only allowed to play games for one hour each day over the weekend.

About a month after the new rules were introduced, an announcement on Fortnite’s official Chinese website confirmed that the servers for the Battle Royale will be permanently shut down in China.

Players in China will not be able to register a new account or download the game starting November 1, 2021, while the Fortnite servers in China will remain active till November 15th. The servers will be shut down afterwards.

While Epic Games has thanked the Chinese community for supporting Fortnite, no official reason was given regarding why the servers were being shut down.

Na’Vi is the Only CSGO Team to Win a Major Without Dropping a Single Map

Ukrainian esports organization Natus Vincere were clearly the fan-favourites to win the highly anticipated PGL Major Stockholm 2021, the first major that CSGO had seen in over two years. And needless to say, the team delivered.

On 7th November, Na’Vi secured a flawless 2-0 victory over G2 Esports in the grand finals of the PGL Major, making them the first team to win a CSGO major without dropping a single map throughout the event.

While each member of the Na’Vi roster put up great performances, the star of the show was none other than the legendary AWPer Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev. The 24-year-old led his team to victory with a K/D of 32-17 on the first map and 40-24 on the second.

The first map, Ancient, went relatively smoothly for Na’Vi as they managed to secure a 16-11 victory over their rivals. However, Nuke was a completely different story.

Going into the second map, G2 retaliated hard, and swiftly managed to put up 15 rounds on the board while Na’Vi were still at 10. However, a few stellar performances from s1mple paved the way for Na’Vi to take the match into overtime. Another overtime followed once the score tied at 18-18.

The match ended with a score of 22-19, and the Na’Vi squad jumped out of their seats in unison after taking the final frag of Nikola “NiKo” Kovač, celebrating their victory.

“A lot of people didn’t believe in me and made jokes, but I f*cking did it,” S1mple said, exhilarated in the post-match interview. “The Major is ours, the major is NaVi’s. I told, we just needed to believe in ourselves, and we were going to win… We just kept fighting. I am so proud of my team, the f*cking champions! Just look at them, the champions!”

This is the first CSGO major trophy s1mple has won, and it comes after five years with the Na’Vi squad. The CSGO world is delighted at s1mple’s major victory, as no one deserved the crown more than he did. The official CSGO Twitter handle referred to s1mple as “The king of Counter-Strike” in their congratulatory Tweet to Na’Vi.

NaVi Win PGL Major Stockholm over G2 esports

Natus Vincere defeated G2 in the Grand Final of the PGL Major, in an absolute thriller of a series to win their first-ever Major in CS:GO. The win comes after losing out in the Grand Finals of a Major twice, once at MLG Columbus 2016 and then at the Faceit London Major in 2018. NaVi with their sheer firepower and determination- did not lose a single map in the Major, a feat that has never happened before, not even during the Prime Astralis era. 

‘S1mple’ gets the one trophy missing from his cabinet in the most dominant way possible, as he can finally call himself a Major Champion. For his destructive performances throughout, s1mple was also crowned the MVP of the Major, a title that is anything but undeserved for a player of his calibre.

MAP VETO

1. G2 removed Overpass

2. Natus Vincere removed Vertigo

3. G2 picked Ancient

4. Natus Vincere picked Nuke

5. Natus Vincere removed Inferno

6. G2 removed Dust2

7. Mirage was left over

MAP 1 : Natus Vincere 16-11 G2 esports

Surprise pick coming in from G2 Esports, saw them get off to a slow start, following a pistol round debacle where NAVI were able to retake, despite the French Balkan mix finding an empty bombsite.  Finding momentum early on, helped Navi muster up a sizable lead, but G2 were quick to get back on their feet, making the half extremely competitive, 8-7 favoring Natus Vincere. huNter- and JaCkz struggled to find form, to NAVI’s advantage. 

An early pistol round victory pulled in some hope for G2 Esports, which NAVI responded with a force buy conversion. G2 cut it close, but not close enough and NAVI were able to push it past the finish line with reletive ease. Aleksandr ‘s1mple’ Kostyliev found his apex, dropping 32 kills and a 1.68 rating. G2 were able to pick up four more rounds on their defense before NAVI picked up 8, thus picking up G2’s map pick.

MAP 2 : Natus Vincere 22-19 G2 esports

Going to the home map of NaVi, things looked bleak as ever for G2 having already lost their map pick. Not to mention, NaVi’s 17-0 undefeated streak was also intact, having not lost a game on it since May. But G2 seemed to relish the pressure and the huge task at hand. They started with a pistol win and conversion but NaVi found their form with 3 consecutive rounds. 

It was then that ‘JaCkz’ took the reins in his hands, and with his ridiculous lobby aggression, handed G2 round after round on the CT side. He was their highest rated player on the CT side and by a margin with a rating of 1.41 as NaVi succumbed to a 5-10 loss on the T side.

As the sides switched, G2 did not let go of the gas and kept at it even after losing a 3v5 in the force buy from NaVi. After the guns were out, the scoreline read 14-7 and we looked set for a finish on Mirage as NaVi’s streak looked to come to an end. The old guard rose like a phoenix for the CIS side as ‘s1mple’ and ‘electronic’ clawed back round after round to bring the score to 15-11. It looked all over when ‘s1mple’ had his back turned and ‘NiKo’ wrapped onto heaven in a 2v2 post plant, but fate was with the Ukrainian as NiKo fluffed his lines and gave NaVi a lifeline.

It was then the New boys’ ‘B1T’ and ‘Perfecto’ turn to step up and they did, to complete the comeback and take Nuke to Overtime.

NaVi started well on the CT side of overtime, and after converting a second round, they needed 2 more to win the Major. The Kovac brothers came alive in consecutive rounds to take the game to a second overtime. 

The story was the same in second OT as even ‘Amanek’s heroics couldn’t prevent NaVi from winning 2 T rounds. Once the sides switched again, it was all over as NaVi read G2 like a book and posted 2 rounds back to back to win the Grand Final, and their First Ever Major.

Your PGL Major Stockholm Champions – Natus Vincere

After 5 long years, Aleksandr ‘s1mple’ Kostyliev finally got the most coveted crown in CS:GO, and what a stage to do it. After 2 years with no Majors due to the Coronavirus, and almost no LANs, then to come back with a changed roster and WIN the Major undefeated – is a Cinderella story in its own right. 

NaVi take home $1 million and the PGL Major Stockholm trophy, while ‘NiKo’ is made to wait yet again as G2 end as runners up and win $300,000.
