Hello from Hello Games!

We’re a small indie team based in Guildford UK and I’m super excited to announce No Man’s Sky and its latest major feature content update Next are coming soon to Xbox One and will be enhanced for Xbox One X with support for HDR, 4K, and more.

No Man’s Sky is inspired by the adventure and imagination that we love from classic science-fiction. We present players with an infinite procedural universe to explore, filled with unique planets and lifeforms, and constant danger and action.

Your voyage through No Man’s Sky is up to you. Will you be a fighter, preying on the weak and taking their riches, or taking out pirates for their bounties? Power is yours if you upgrade your starship for speed and weaponry.

Or maybe you’ll be a trader? Find rich resources on forgotten worlds and exploit them for the highest prices. Invest in more cargo space and you’ll reap huge rewards.

Or perhaps an explorer? Go beyond the known frontier and discover places and things that no one has ever seen before. Upgrade your engines to jump ever farther and strengthen your spacesuit for survival in toxic environments that would kill the unwary.

No Man’s Sky on Xbox One is huge. It includes the initial ambitious release, and all three major updates which changed so much: Foundation brought base building, freighter ownerships and survival game mode; Pathfinder introduced vehicles, online base sharing, and permadeath; Atlas Rises added 30 hours of story, a new procedural mission system and a visual overhaul.

Which brings us to Next, our “next step” on a longer journey for us and the No Man’s Sky community. This is our biggest update so far, and something we’ve been working ridiculously hard on. And after its release, we’ll continue to support No Man’s Sky with significant and free content updates on Xbox One. Next has a lot we’re going to surprise people with and I can’t wait until we can share more.

With a lack of Super Smash Bros. on Nintendo Switch at the moment, alternative brawlers such as Brawlout have helped fill that over-the-top fighting action void in our hearts. Developer Angry Mob Games is still hard at work supporting the title, and it’s just submitted its latest patch to Nintendo for approval. And it’s a biggie, too.

When it finally hits Switch, it’ll bring in a 1v1 ranked mode for testing your true mettle online, which uses the basic rules of Competitive mode with a few extra tweaks to make it a purely defensive affair. Character Paco gets a character variant makeover with the shark-esque Mako, and those annoying Brawler Pinatas have been removed entirely.

Video capture will be added, so you clip those awesome knockout moments, while Dash Dancing (among many other tweaks to gameplay) will help mix up your in-fight movement repertoire. You can check all the full additions and changes via the patch notes right here.

What do you make of Brawlout’s new proposed changes? Is it a worthy alternative to Super Smash Bros. while you wait for the Switch version to arrive? Let us know in the comments section below…

A major update has been released for the smartphone game Pokémon Duel, adding a bunch of new content and new ways to play.

Certain Pokémon will now be able to change their forms during battle, adding a new layer to your dueling antics. The legendary Pokémon Kyurem is now available, and in the right deck it’ll be able to change its form to both Black Kyurem and White Kyurem; this makes sense as the legendary Pokémon Reshiram and Zekrom have also been introduced. All three of these Pokémon are available in the ‘April 2018 Recommended Booster A’ and the ‘April 2018 Booster 10-pack A’.

As well as this, a new social feature introduces the ability to follow other players and track their progress in-game – you’ll even receive special items if you follow enough players, and more if you have enough players following you in return. A brand new tournament mode is coming to the game soon (with a pre-tournament set to take place to preview the feature) so keeping an eye on the strongest decks from your friends would be a smart move.

If you haven’t already, you can grab yourself a copy of Pokémon Duel for free from the App Store, Amazon Appstore for Android, and on Google Play.
