Hitman World of Assassination's latest Elusive Target mission sees you taking on Snoop Dogg๐Ÿ“ฑ Mobile

Hitman World of Assassination's latest Elusive Target mission sees you taking on Snoop Dogg

Hitman World of Assassination's Elusive Targets have helped massively extend the game's relevance. Throwing in a well-known face just to have our bald, barcoded buddy take them out appears to have endless appeal with the masses, and I can see why. The latest celebrity to wander into Agent 47's sights (or some convoluted trap) is none other than Snoop Dogg, who arrives tomorrow, August 27th and sticks around until September 26th. Of course, you won't actually be killing Snoop. Instead, you're tasked with taking down Dr Cyrus Cane, an individual known for a wide variety of unusual businesses, in The Herbalist mission. Cane's latest product is called Morsizzles, a cookie that's suspiciously addictive. Unsurprisingly, some tomfoolery has taken place behind the scenes, leading to many deaths and more than a few cover-ups. ...

Petit Planet arrives this winter, letting you take care of your planet alone or with Neighbors

Hoyoverse kicked off Gamescom with a bang, revealing Nodusfall, a departure from their usual colourful art styles. But that wasn't all. They also announced that Petit Planet will release for iOS, Android and PC this winter, with pre-registration open now. The reveal came alongside a new trailer, which you can check out below. It's all lovely visuals and calming piano that, while unlikely to be representative of the actual gameplay, definitely gives us a sample of the vibes. It's cosy and cute, as most home-building games are these days. ... MORE(https://www.pocketgamer.com/petit-planet/winter-release-date-announced/)

Aniimo confirms release date so you can start prepping for a new creature-collecting adventure on mobile๐Ÿ“ฑ Mobile

Aniimo confirms release date so you can start prepping for a new creature-collecting adventure on mobile

Pawprint Studio really knows how to build the hype. We got a taste of the release window for Aniimo a week ago, and now, the open-world creature-collecting RPG has revealed its official launch date - and it's sooner than you might think! As another one of the big reveals at gamescom, Aniimo's release date is set for September 23rd on mobile, while console players can get their hands on it a tad earlier on September 16th. If you're not familiar with it, Aniimo will basically set you off on a magical adventure as a Pathfinder across Idyll, with over 200 different creatures to discover. You'll get to tame them and set them up for battle, as you might expect, with cool evolutions to aim for to make sure your Aniimo is in tip-top shape. ...
