The Laboratory Arc Part 1 will see Wonder and Lufel trapped in a false Palace after a day-trip to Shibuya goes wrong.

  • Jump into The Laboratory Arc Part 1, and be sure to grab some exciting new rewards

For better or for worse, Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royale have become something of the poster child for the entire Shin Megami Tensei spinoff series. Not least with Persona 5: The Phantom X, which seeks to rub shoulders with Royale in their new Crossroads of Fate special event, which sees the launch of its Laboratory Arc today!

The Laboratory Arc Part 1 will see Wonder and Lufel trapped in a false Palace after a day-trip to Shibuya goes wrong. There, they'll run into one of the fan-favourite Phantom Thieves in the form of Violet, aka Kasumi Yoshizawa.

As expected, this arc will see the start of the Persona 5 Royale crossover event, and while I'm sure some of you are upset not to see the other Phantom Thieves make an appearance, they'll doubtless arrive soon. And this means that fans of Violet will have a chance to see their favourite character in the spotlight for this arc.

Violets are- er, red...or black?

As you might expect, the new five-star Kasumi Yoshizawa debuts as part of her Most Wanted Phantom Idol Contract, which will wrap up on April 16th. Certainly set to be an interesting pick for our

Phantom X tier list

, you can also grab this Assassin-type character's weapon as part of the Arms Deal: Silent Pistol contract.

And even if you're (somehow) a fan of Phantom X but not of Persona 5, you'll want to check in on this event anyway. Because a new login bonus available until April 2nd offers up seven Platinum Milicoins over seven days, not to mention a free bonus of 600 Meta Jewels for all players.

In the meantime, if you're looking for more action on mobile, then why not dig into our list of the five new mobile games to try this week for some of the most interesting picks from the last seven days?

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.
