We're still waiting for Call of Duty Warzone mobile to be released in Europe, but Activision decided to take a first step in the right direction by launching the game in Sweden, Norway and Chile in a limited release. The game's team spoke about the soft launch and said that the US, Brazil and India, as major markets for the game would access Warzone mobile last due to their too large scale of players to handle.

Seven Deadly Sins Origin gameplay video at GDC 2023

Scheduled for release on mobile and PC, the Seven Deadly Sins Origin game unveils some of its gameplay at GDC this week. I'll make it simple: the cut scenes are stunning, the world and creatures look really gorgeous on screen and the combat promises excellent gameplay. Basically, the 7DS Origin gameplay trailer shown at GDC confirms that this game deserves all its current hype.

The release date of Seven Deadly Sins Origin has not yet been revealed by Netmarble. On the other hand, we already know the release horizon of other major titles of this publisher in 2023.

After the strategy games Company of Heroes and Total War: Medieval 2, Feral Interactive invites you to try Sid Meier's Railroads soon. Become a railroad tycoon with this railroad management simulation released in 2006 on PC. Even if this mobile adptation is a bit dated, I know that some of you will join the pre-registrations that have just opened.

After pre-registration, Sid Meier's Railroads puts you in control of a railroad company, in charge of laying train lines, creating freight and passenger tracks, and choosing from a wide variety of means of transportation, from steam locos to the never-on-time French TGV. And once you've built up your portfolio, all that's left to do is buy out the competition, develop patented inventions and dream up the railroad of your dreams.

Artificial intelligence dominates GDC 2023

The speeches at the Game Developers Conference 2023 are one after the other. However, some topics are at the heart of all the discussions, and in particular that of artificial intelligence. Ubisoft, Epic Games, King and even Roblox have only this word on their lips to extend their influence on the industry.

Soon, AIs will create virtual worlds themselves from command lines, the personalities of your favorite NPCs, the background noise of soundscapes in future open worlds and even the writing of stories. With all the current advances, we thought it would be a good opportunity to take stock of AI in the future of video games in a dedicated feature we're trying to prepare for you next month.

Release of Mighty Doom on mobile: the arrival of the cult FPS in Archero-like

This is not Bethesda's first try on mobile. This time, it's the Doom license that comes with the release of Mighty Doom on Android and iOS. This Archero-like game is a dynamic and nervous take on the pioneering FPS video game license. But, like Tomb Raider: Reloaded, Mighty Doom takes the strengths and weaknesses ofArchero without fundamentally improving them.

The grind is very very present and the progression is not rewarded enough to enjoy the game without feeling stuck after chapter 4. Mighty Doom is still a good pocket game to take out from time to time, but save your tryhard spirit for other mobile releases that will be more worthwhile.

Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat opens in closed beta

With talented creators with experience on NieR and Drakengard, this trilogy comes with a free demo prologue chapter to discover how the game works.

Closing of Tales of Asteria, the little forgotten Tales Of

There's no end of game closures in 2023. But next to big titles like Apex Legends mobileBattlefield mobile, Hitman or even Autochess MOBA, the closure of Tales of Asteria didn't do as much damage. Bandai Namco ended the life of this Tales of game active since 2014 on May 18, 2023, after more than 9 years of good and loyal service. I hope you have said goodbye to the several hundred characters in the game if you were nostalgic and enjoy the other Tales of episodes on mobile.

Partnerships of the week

Among the partnerships that have marked the week, Square Enix has the most points with two major collaborations.

Apart from Square Enix titles, LifeAfter has put forward exclusives in partnership with Le Petit Prince and PUBG Mobile has taken the opportunity to raise its quality by a few decibels with a Dolby Atmos collaboration in order to offer better immersive sound to its players.

Rumors of Counter Strike 2 on mobile ?

Announced for this summer, the competitive shooter Counter Strike 2 has been the talk of social networks around its release. More marginally, some people wondered if the game would also be released on mobile given the popularity or hype around games like Call of Duty mobile, Valorant Mobile, Warzone mobile or even Payday Crime War.

While we don't have the answer to this question, there are rumors of a potential mobile release after spotting the term mobile in leaked code on Twitter. This obviously feeds the rumor of a potential CS 2 port to a mobile game, yet there has been no confirmation of such an adaptation yet and it could mostly be residual code from Valve's mobile games like DOTA Underlords or the card game Artifact in Source.

Unreal Editor for Fortnite brings the game into the metaverse

The metaverse and the blockchain were everywhere six months ago and today we only talk about AI. However, Epic Games has not said its last word about creating a metaverse and intends to prove it with the arrival of its Unreal Editor for Fortnite.
