Since November late last year astragon Entertainment‘s game Truck Simulation 19 has been a huge hit in the world of simulation games. That being said though the game hasn’t seen a huge content update until now, bringing new territories located in the cold North of the US with new missions.

States added in this recent update include Wisconsin, Minnesota, Montana, Wyoming as well as North and South Dakota. In addition to the map extension the update introduces a new weather condition to Truck Simulation 19. Seen as how these regions are farther north, they are more prone to snow and in the game players can expect light snowfall, which can also develop to a thick flurry. As always it’s nice to see developers adding new content and this should be a welcome update by players and fans alike.

Truck Simulation 19 is available on the App Store for $2.99 by clicking here.

In an exciting turn of events Tencent Games and PUBG Corporation have just announced the launch of a new gameplay mode called “Zombie: Survive till Dawn”, a crossover event between PUBG Mobile and Resident Evil 2. This comes as no surprise though as back in 2018 PUBG announced a partnership with Capcom at the PUBG MOBILE STAR CHALLENGE 2018 Global Finals.

This new gameplay mode features three days and two nights in one 30-minute round that features 60 players within the usual PUBG Mobile game structure. Players will encounter multiple types of zombies from the Resident Evil series such as Police, Licker and G1 as well as other zombies created by the PUBG Mobile team.

As Survive till Dawn turns from day through dusk and into night time, the zombies become considerably more aggressive and will pose a significant challenge for PUBG Mobile players. During the day players can defeat zombies from long range and conduct farming. Dusk preps the players for fighting as zombies become more dangerous and visibility drops. Night time sees the zombies become enraged and players will have limited PvP engagements due to very low visibility.

The legendary Resident Evil 2 characters G (Stage 1) and Tyrant will also appear through random spawning during night time. Also, players can win Leon and Claire skin sets, and Ada and Marvin costumes in-game, which are all popular characters in Resident Evil 2. PUBG Mobile is available to download for free with in-app purchases.

Earlier this month it was announced that Netmarble would be switching to bi-weekly news roundups for all their games, and I gladly obliged to cover any news from them. It’s no doubt that over the last couple years Netmarble has released a handful of quality of games, and with that grown immensely in popularity. This time around they’ve updated three of their games — Lineage 2: Revolution, Knights Chronicle, and Fishing Strike — with a variety of new content and changes, covered in detail below.

Lineage 2: Revolution Introduces New Draconian Equipment and Temporal Rift

On January 30th, several new Draconian-themed updates arrived in Lineage 2: Revolution. The new Temporal Rift, Temple of Dragon Hearts, allows players at level 230 or above to battle a Draconian boss in the dungeon for a chance to acquire Awakened Embrion’s cloak, which has a powerful effect that casts a mighty fissure upon a successful normal attack.

New Dragonfang weapons and Dragonscale armor increase damage and defense against dragon-type monsters, making them especially useful within the Temple of Dragon Hearts. The new Winter Herald Costume also debuted and features three parts: weapon, hair and outfit. A few new gameplay improvements have also been added, including the addition of the Orc race to Open Siege, an “Open All Boxes” feature added to the inventory and an adjustment allowing players to now receive all Level Up Rewards if there are more than one to be claimed.

Knights Chronicle Celebrates Lunar New Year

In celebration of the Lunar New Year, Knights Chronicle will introduce a series of new packages and a new Advent Dungeon event beginning on January 31st. The Lunar New Year 1+1 Package and the Lunar New Year Badge Package will be sold in the in-game market and will allow players to acquire a six star Rainbow Badge, five star Badge Ticket and crystals.

Also, a new Advent Dungeon “Boss Rush” event will allow players the opportunity to clear a series of Dungeon Bosses in order to be rewarded with prizes including a Grade SSR Hero, six star Marvelous Evolvemon and more. Finally, all of the Single Advent Dungeon Heroes’ Drop rates will increase during the event, and players can play the three star Advent Dungeon with half the stamina.

Fishing Strike Welcomes Back Lapsed Players with In-game Gifts and New Features

Wrapping everything up, just yesterday Fishing Strike will introduce several new updates for fans of the hyper-realistic mobile fishing experience. These updates include “welcome back” gifts and a new attendance board, exclusive for returning players who have not played in more than 14 days.

Another update is a new compensation system for disassembling upgraded fishing equipment. Now, when a player disassembles equipment over level 11, 10% of their consumed goods, such as Gold and Elite coins, will be returned. The “Fast Growth Package” will also be available for purchase in the game. The package includes 5,000 Gems, 5,000 Elite Coins, 500 Fuel and 200 Reinforced Parts

If you’ve been keeping tabs on the content around here you may have noticed that it’s been a bit lacking of coverage for Netmarble. They have a wide variety of great games for all sorts of gamers out there and while our coverage has been a bit lacking, it’s for good reason as they are now going on a bi-weekly round-up schedule. So now that means twice a month they will be sending out a round-up of everything that’s happened in the last two weeks, and from there, we will update you accordingly.

So for the first bi-weekly round up from Netmarble in 2019 comes with updates for two of their popular games — Knights Chronicle and Marvel Future Fight.

Knights Chronicle Introduces New Heroes, Quest, and Dungeon

Beginning this week Knights Chronicle will introduce several new changes to give players additional content. First up is a new hero, Vlady, who is a vampire who has witnessed the history of Garniel, and his Epic Quest shows the significant events of Garniel since the beginning.

From there the new Grade SSR heroes Momo and Arachnia will also debut. With that Arachnia’s Advent Dungeon will open after the update, offering players the opportunity to explore the dungeon using half the usual stamina.

Last but certainly not least, minor game adjustments include a user convenience update which includes an Auto Evolve setting, Auto Repeat for the Guild Dungeon and hero statistics for Advent Dungeon and Boss Battle.

The Fantastic Four Arrive in Marvel Future Fight

Switching gears now, The Fantastic Four have recently arrived in the super hero action-RPG mobile game, MARVEL Future Fight. They aren’t alone though, as they are accompanied by their nemesis Doctor Doom and his champion of Latveria Victorious.

Along with these new characters, two existing Marvel Future Fight characters Crystal and She-Hulk will receive new Fantastic Four uniforms. The update also features a a new “Monsters Unleashed!” battle armor uniform for Moon Girl. Also worth noting is a new quest that’s been added that focuses on Mister Fantastic. Players will receive the Mister Fantastic character as soon as they begin the quest and will gain strength each time a quest is completed.
