“I’ve got some disappointing updates to share from the gaming world. It looks like Date A Live Spirit Crisis (JP) is shutting down, and Football Manager 25 has been canceled as the developers are moving their focus elsewhere. On a brighter note, Pokémon TCG Pocket has addressed trading concerns, and Nintendo has confirmed they’re still working on new mobile games.

As a gaming enthusiast, here’s my take on the latest updates in the world of video games:

I’m thrilled to share some exciting news! It seems that Plants vs. Zombies 3 might be revamping its art style, which I can hardly wait to see. Moving on, a new mobile game titled Way of the Hunter Wild America has been unveiled, piquing my curiosity. Unfortunately, it looks like the Olympic Esports Games have been pushed back to 2027, but I’m sure there will be plenty more updates on that before then.

In other news, Kuro Games has recently addressed false merchandise claims, which is good to hear as a consumer. Lastly, there are rumors swirling around that Sword Heart: Carved Dragon could be making its way onto new platforms. Fingers crossed for more information on that front!

Week 3: February 15 to February 21

Executive Summary

The third week saw a continuation of new releases with notable titles such as “I Am Your Beast”, “Grand Mountain Adventure 2”, “Pocket ZONE 2”, “Jolly Match”, “Gangs Fighter: Vice Island”, and “Stick World Z: Zombie War TD”. At the same time, “Machina Waking” began its soft launch in Indonesia, while the closed beta for “Once Human” started for both Android and iOS devices.

Forthcoming launches were likewise unveiled, featuring the “NBA 2K All-Star” scheduled for a March 25 release in China, and “DC: Dark Legion” slated for March 14 on mobile and PC platforms. Meanwhile, “HAIKYU!! FLY HIGH” initiated global pre-registrations, while it was confirmed that “King’s Raid,” “The Tale of Food,” and the “Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition” will soon be discontinued.

As a gamer, I’ve been keeping up with the latest news, and it’s pretty exciting! The gaming world seems to be shaking things up a bit. For instance, rumor has it that Niantic is closing in on a whopping $3.5 billion deal with Scopely. That’s quite the partnership, if you ask me!

On the other hand, eFootball 2025 is looking to shake up the gaming landscape by considering an ad-based rewards system. I wonder how that will play out!

Lastly, it looks like Amazon Appstore is planning to call it a day on Android devices in August. That’s a bummer for me and many other gamers who enjoy their offerings. But hey, change is part of the game, right?
