One of the more interesting upcoming releases, I think most of you will have been keeping your eyes on FIFA Heroes. This five-a-side arcade sports sim from developer Enver offers a fast-paced, accessible take on the sport, and now we have a release date for FIFA Heroes to boot!

Arriving April 28th for iOS and Android, the latest glimpse of FIFA Heroes in its cinematic trailer also reveals plenty of new, exciting and sometimes baffling details. Of course, the most exciting is the unveiling of famous faces from the beautiful game, such as Harry Kane, Eduardo Camavinga and even figures from the past, like Diego Maradona!

What's slightly baffling, but interesting, is also the announcement that the lineup will include mythological figures such as Thor and Sun Wukong. Not to mention the previously announced appearance of the official 2026 mascots for the FIFA World Cup.

Mythical matchups

Given that Enver's self-professed mission statement was 'the last thing we wanted to create was another football simulation game', I think they've succeeded if these new reveals are anything to go by. Combining not just an all-star roster but special abilities and exaggerated action.

While some of you who were hoping for a purely realistic, if arcadey experience similar to hits of the past, such as FIFA Street, may be disappointed, for the rest, this is just wacky and out-there enough to make an already intriguing 5v5 arcade sports sim that much more interesting.

FIFA Heroes is set to launch, as above, on April 28th for mobile. Console players can expect it at a later date.

Meanwhile, if you want to hone your sporting skills ahead of FIFA Heroes' release, why not try out our list of the best sports games for iOS to see what we think are worth playing?

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/)

Nintendoโ€™s War On Switch Emulators Continues With 400 More GitHub Takedowns๐Ÿ„ Nintendo Switch, Mobile, Multi-platform

Nintendoโ€™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.
