  • Zenless Zone Zero is getting in on the tournament arc craze with its upcoming update
  • Version 2.7, Champions Never Fall to the Past, releases on March 24th
  • Recruit new characters as both familiar and unfamiliar faces take up the challenge

With Honkai: Star Rail set to debut its latest version later this month, it shouldn't be surprising that MiHoYo are also bringing another major update to one of their other big hits at the same time. And Zenless Zone Zero fans are in for a treat with the launch of version 2.7, Champions Never Fall to the Past, on March 24th!

As you know, any good story needs a tournament arc. And the Hollow Champion competition promises to offer just that, as familiar faces from the Sons of Calydon and even Public Security's Metropolitan Order Division will make an appearance.

But don't expect this to be a clean sweep for your roster of characters (obligatory ZZZ tier list plug). After all, you'll be going up against unfamiliar faces, too, such as the Black Wolf Romeul, who promises to be terrifyingly powerful as a boss, requiring a solid lineup of competitors to take him down.

Champion's league

But fortunately, your roster is also getting a fresh injection of talent to help out in this championship. Starting off with the S-rank agent Cissia, who focuses on maintaining stacks of her Venom to empower her abilities. She's joined by the Angels of Delusion's Nangong Yu, another S-rank agent also focused on building stacks of her resource called Downbeat.

Aside from all this (and more), you can jump into a new side activity taking place at the Simmer Hot Pot Restaurant located in Lumina Square. Or take on a new mission from HSOS 9 to tackle additional combat challenges. All the more reason to check in when version 2.7 drops on March 24th.

Heroic Legends Reborn is the product of two brothers rebuilding an MMO from the ground up

We all get nostalgic for games which other people seem to overlook. For me, it's Two Worlds (yeah, I know), and for two brothers, it's the now fifteen-year-old MMO Heroic Legends! So, what do you do when that game has disappeared? Well, if you're like them, you rebuild it yourself. With blessings from the original creators and access to the artwork used to create the hand-painted MMO, two brothers known as SonOfBoo and Andepher have recreated Heroic Legends from the ground up. Rechristened as Heroic Legends Reborn, it's slated to arrive on iOS and Android on September 5th. ... MORE(https://www.pocketgamer.com/heroic-legends-reborn/coming-soon/)

Nintendo’s War On Switch Emulators Continues With 400 More GitHub Takedowns🍄 Nintendo Switch, Mobile, Multi-platform

Nintendo’s War On Switch Emulators Continues With 400 More GitHub Takedowns

Nintendo is doing what Nintendo does: issuing DMCA takedown notices to anyone who illegally offers access to any of the company's games. That's exactly what happened earlier this week, as Nintendo wiped out over 400 Switch emulators from GitHub. According to an August 21 TorrentFreak report(https://torrentfreak.com/nintendo-wipes-out-400-switch-emulator-repos-in-single-day-github-sweep/), the Mario maker sent the proprietary developer platform seven DMCA takedown notices targeting Nintendo Switch emulator repositories. This includes Suyu (the Yuzu successor that became popular after Yuzu shut down(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-lawsuit-shuts-down-switch-emulator-yuzu-and-3ds-emulator-citra/1100-6521589/) in March 2024), the Android emulator Skyline, and a few lingering Yuzu forks. In total, some 401 repositories were nuked off GitHub, with 311 of them being Suyu. Now that they're removed, if you attempt to visit the repository on GitHub, you'll receive either a 404 error or a pop-up notification that it's been taken down. In the DMCA pop-up notification, Nintendo states that the targeted repositories "offer, link to, or otherwise provide access to Nintendo Switch emulators." The company said these emulators violate Technological Protection Measures (TPMs), which act as digital locks controlled by copyright owners to prevent copying data illegally. "Specifically, these Nintendo Switch emulators illegally circumvent Nintendo's TPMs in order to run illegal copies of Nintendo Switch games," the notice reads. "Nintendo Switch games are encrypted using proprietary cryptographic keys (prod.keys) which protect against unauthorized access to and copying of the copyrighted games. During operation, the emulators at the reported repositories necessarily use unauthorized copies of these cryptographic keys to decrypt unauthorized copies of Nintendo Switch games, or ROMs, at or immediately before runtime without Nintendo's authorization." With Nintendo summoning the Eye of Mario on 401 repositories earlier this week, and over 8,500 repositories in May 2024(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-shuts-down-yuzu-clones-in-ongoing-quest-to-kill-switch-emulation/1100-6523158/), this brings the company's repository death count to almost 9,000 on GitHub alone. And with Nintendo filing a lawsuit against Yuzu creator Tropic Haze in February 2024(https://kotaku.com/nintendo-zelda-tears-kingdom-switch-yuzu-emulate-pirate-1851293463), which resulted in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom(https://www.gamespot.com/games/the-legend-of-zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom/) being pirated over one million times before it launched, the company's war on emulators continues.
