If there's one thing to be said for Where Winds Meet, it's that NetEase's martial arts ARPG is a real treat for fans of Chinese history. But after the Hexi expansion, the scale is set to narrow significantly, but not the scope. On May 28th, it's time to step into the forbidden walls of the Imperial Palace!

As you might expect, the Imperial Palace is an epicentre of intrigue, wonder and danger all in equal measure. Enrolled unexpectedly as an agent in the Office of Martial and Virtue, you'll find yourself embroiled in undercover missions to untangle a number of mysteries in the palace.

Speaking of which, at one million square meters and with 3000 NPCs to interact with, the Imperial Palace more than lives up to its reputation. Whether it's danger and hidden martial arts masters or just engaging in cricket fighting and discovering the daily lives of ancient China's elites, you'll have plenty to do.

Treasure hunter

Not to mention the new Sealed Treasury campaign, which sees your Wanderer drawn to a heavily guarded royal vault. Secrets will be revealed, and later in June, you'll also be able to take on the Confinement Tower campaign, which sees you witnessing the depths of the Imperial Prison.

That still barely scratches the surface of what's available. But with two new multiplayer campaigns to deal with that pit you against the mythical beast Everdeer and takes you on a moonlit battle for your life in Moongazing, well, suffice it to say you'll have plenty to do on May 28th!

In the meantime, if you're looking to reset your palate a bit, then you can try some of the most recent releases on mobile. And there's no better place to find them all than in our regular feature covering the five new mobile games to try this week!

Game of Thrones: Dragonfire ties into season three finale with limited-time event

After the disastrous reception of the Game of Thrones finale way back in 2019, it seemed as if the franchise was done on television.

And if you've been following House of the Dragon, you can now enjoy a limited-time event, available until August 24th, set to tie into the season three finale of the show. This event will see all the previously limited dragons return to the Hatchery, each modelled on their appearance in the show. ...

Lil' Guardsman is a Papers Please-style deduction adventure with you as an unlikely town guard📱 Mobile

Lil' Guardsman is a Papers Please-style deduction adventure with you as an unlikely town guard

While Papers, Please invoked a really grim and dystopian style of gaming, for better or for worse, many other developers have taken a slightly lighter view on the subject. Case in point: the upcoming deductive sim Lil' Guardsman, which is set to release on iOS and Android this winter, puts you in the shoes of the bane of all adventurers. In Lil' Guardsman, you play as the twelve-year-old Lil, tasked with covering your father's shift as, unsurprisingly, a guardsman at the gate of a city called the Sprawl. You'll need to interrogate various visitors, ranging from wizards to cyclopes, and decide whether to let them in, jail them or deal with them in some other way. ...

Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls set to close service in autumn

Well, it's about that time again. Yes, sadly we have to report that another fan-favourite mobile game is set to shut its doors. This time, the victim is none other than Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls. And unfortunately, you don't have long to jump in and have a go, because end-of-service is set for September 3rd. A side-scrolling platformer in the vein of the classic Castlevania games, especially Symphony of the Night, Grimoire of Souls already has an interesting history. Slated to shutter back in 2020, Grimoire of Souls would instead make its way exclusively to Apple Arcade without any monetisation elements. ...
