Get ready to rumble – the party action game “Squad Busters” from mobile gaming powerhouse Supercell has officially launched worldwide! This follows a successful soft launch period that generated excitement and anticipation among gamers.
“Squad Busters” throws you into a fast-paced, multiplayer arena where 10 players battle it out to collect and hold onto the most Gems. Don’t be fooled by the seemingly simple objective – the path to victory requires strategic thinking, teamwork, and a dash of chaos.
Unlike other battle royale games, “Squad Busters” emphasizes teamwork and cooperation. Players choose from a roster of quirky characters, each with unique abilities. The key to success lies in assembling a well-balanced “Squad” that combines attackers, suppliers, and speedsters. Think of it as picking your favourite superheroes for an epic brawl – except with cuter characters and a whole lot more gem-grabbing mayhem.
The gameplay in “Squad Busters” is anything but predictable. Dozens of different modifiers and constantly shifting character lineups ensure no two matches are ever the same. One minute you might be chasing down mischievous Loot Goblins, the next you’re strategically deploying a Royal Ghost to haunt your opponents. This constant variety keeps the gameplay fresh and exciting, encouraging players to adapt their tactics on the fly.
“Squad Busters” isn’t just about mindless combat. There’s also a strategic layer that adds depth to the experience. Players can choose to play it safe by focusing on resource gathering or take a more aggressive approach and try to knock out other teams. This risk-reward dynamic adds another layer of excitement to the mix.
Supercell has built a reputation for creating polished and engaging mobile games, and “Squad Busters” is no exception. The game features vibrant, cartoony graphics and intuitive controls that make it easy to pick up and play, regardless of your gaming experience.
Whether you’re a seasoned gamer looking for a quick and chaotic party experience, or a casual player seeking a fun and accessible mobile title, “Squad Busters” has something to offer. The inclusion of fan-favourite characters from Supercell’s other popular games like Clash of Clans and Brawl Stars adds a touch of nostalgia for existing fans and a delightful introduction for newcomers.
With its global launch, “Squad Busters” is poised to become a major player in the mobile gaming scene. Supercell’s commitment to ongoing content updates and fresh challenges ensures a vibrant and ever-evolving experience for players worldwide. So, grab your friends, assemble your squad, and get ready to join the party in “Squad Busters”! It’s available on Google Play and iOS.
OPPO has exciting news for gaming enthusiasts as it partners with Epic Games to bring Fortnite to the OPPO App Market. Starting October 10, OPPO users in Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam, and India can easily access Fortnite through the app market.
This collaboration aims to make one of the world’s most popular video games accessible to OPPO’s large Android user base. To enhance the gaming experience, OPPO is introducing a steady 90fps Fortnite gameplay on selected devices leveraging the powerful hardware and technology found in its smartphones.
The 90fps feature is a significant advancement in mobile gaming, promising a smoother and more visually impressive Fortnite experience. This enhancement brings improved picture quality and responsiveness, providing users with a premium gaming experience.
The Find N3, the company’s latest foldable flagship launched in October, takes the lead in delivering this enhanced Fortnite experience. Known for its lightweight design and innovative triple camera system, the Find N3 is setting new standards for camera performance in foldable devices.

Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link, the latest instalment in Square’s hit RPG series, is making its way to Android and iOS devices. It’s set to go in 2024, with no definite date just yet. This mobile RPG will add to the Kingdom Hearts story with a new plot and play style.
Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link isn’t an augmented reality (AR) game like Pokemon GO but it still uses real-world places in its gameplay. The game uses your smartphone’s GPS to determine where you are on the in-game map. This lets the player explore the virtual world based on where they are in real life. The announcement video teases that you might be able to “travel the world without leaving your house” which would be a new twist in the game systems.
While there is very little information on the game’s plot, Square Enix has been recruiting beta testers for a closed beta program. There are 3,000 spots available split between Android and iOS users. For iOS, the closed beta phase lasts from November 29 to December 8. The Android beta will start in January 2024.
The story takes place in the city of Scala and Caelum, which fans of Kingdom Hearts III will be familiar with. Players take on the part of a main character who has no name and moves between Scala and Caelum and the real world. Real-time fighting and interactions with Disney characters are hinted at through the teaser trailers available on Square Enix’s Official YouTube Channel.
Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link was first presented at the event celebrating the 20th anniversary of Kingdom Hearts, along with Kingdom Hearts IV. Currently, there is no announcement on the date for either game released.
Google Play Pass – the company’s answer to Apple Arcade – has made its debut in Malaysia. Play Pass will allow users access to a curated collection of mobile games free from ads and in-app purchases. Think of it like Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass for your Android phone. It currently has over a thousand games available in the catalogue on the Play Store.
Stealthily launched earlier this week in Malaysia, the Google Play Pass costs MYR10.99 per month. Your first month, however, is free. If you opt to subscribe to the Google Play Pass for a year, you’ll be getting a 25% discount with the plan renewing for MYR99 a year. The pass is shareable with up to five family members within a family group.
With the Play Pass, users gain access to games like Monument Valley 2, Stardew Valley, and more, all without ads and in-app payments.

PUBG Mobile has been on a roll lately with its updates. The new version 2.7 update also marks a new content collaboration with the popular anime franchise Dragon Ball – more specifically with the latest installation in the long-running anime Dragon Ball Super. The new content partnership will see two new additional modes in PUBG Mobile and kicks off on 13th July and will run until September 4th 2023.
Shenron, Ki & Dragon Balls Reimagine Gameplay
During this time, players can take part in a new Dragon Ball Super Themed Mode where they will have to search for the seven Dragon Balls to reign supreme. The new mode will happen in-game and will continue to have PUBG Mobile’s signature PvP battle royale gameplay. Upon collecting the seven sacred spheres, players will be able to summon Shenron at the Shenron Summoning Altar for powerful in-game buffs. The altar is also the cornerstone of a new hidden Dragon Ball trial where you’ll need to gather all seven balls, defend the altar and make a wish; all while being completely exposed to your enemies. Yep – they’ll be able to see your every move!
There are also four new Dragon Ball Super areas in-game, more specifically in the Erangel, Livik and Sanhok areas. The Dragon Ball Village”, “Tenkaichi Budokai”, “Kame House”, and “Karin Tower” areas will look familiar to Dragon Ball Super aficionados as they’re built to resemble areas and the architecture from the series. What’s more, they’ll have goodies that may just come in useful in your quest for that Chicken Dinner. You can even ride the Air Car to traverse the battlegrounds.
PUBG Mobile’s version 2.7 update also comes with a new “Ki” component which allows players to gather “Ki” for increased mobility. You’ll even be able to use the legendary skill – “Kamehameha” – to make quick work of your enemies.
PUBG Mobile Goes Full Dragon Ball Super
PUBG Mobile will also be taking things a step further as it adopts the signature animated art style of Dragon Ball Super. The stylistic change will take place between July 15 and September 4th 2023. During this time, players will be able to play as Son Goku, Vegeta, Frieza, Piccolo and Ultimate Gohan complete with their signature moves in their quest to be the last one standing.
As part of this brand-new mode, you will be able to gather Spirit Crystlets and Spirit Crystals from the ground to restore energy and upgrade your moves with a cap at Level 4. In addition, you’ll be able to traverse and manipulate the map with a variety of new features such as Teleport Points and Updraft.
There will also be exclusive outfits during this collaboration which feature Goku, Vegeta and Frieza and even companions Pilaf and Karin. But that’s not all, Tencent Games is teasing even more coming on August 14, 2023.
Tower of Fantasy is getting more exciting, fresh content with the release of the major 2.1 update, dubbed Confounding Labyrinth.
New terrains and challenges await in the 2.1 update
Publisher Level Infinite and developer Hotta Studio have released the 2.1 update on the 22nd of November. With it comes a brand-new map, Confounding abyss with new challenges, bosses and the new simulacrum, Lin. Players can find the new location just beneath Mirroria and explore the diverse, underground terrain in the ruins of the Third City.
Explore the Prism Pillar (top) and Deepsoul Industrial Zone (bottom) in the Confounding Abyss
While exploring, players will encounter new challenges with enemies that have mutated under the effects of the Confounding Abyss. One such encounter is with the new enemy Crystal Hoof, where a Culton’s body has fused with a mysterious crystal, resulting in a strong, rock-like body. Experience the unique terrain of the Confounding Abyss with the official 2.1 update trailer.
Rise against the new challenges with the debuting simulacrum Lin, the successor to MIrroria. Lin thrives in the frontlines of battle and has a unique alteration ability. While other simulacrums are equipped with one element each such as flame or frost, Lin can use all elements and construct weapons of any element genre. Find out more on Lin with the simulacrum release trailer.
Experience this exciting free-to-play MMORPG
With such exciting content in the 2.1 update, it’s no surprise Tower of Fantasy has been nominated for Best Mobile Game at The Game Awards and the Google Play User’s Choice Game. Players can also show their support by voting at The Game Awards.
The biggest thing that has happened to gaming for the past few years is not really the PlayStation 5 or the Xbox Series X. They are great, they are revolutionary, but they are rather regular and expected. You still need to be sat in one location and get it plugged to a display to fully enjoy them. The most important thing that has happened in gaming over the past few years is portable gaming, or mobile gaming.
What really started this handheld gaming phenomena is not really the smartphone. It is more to do with Nintendo’s Switch. Later, Steamdeck revolutionized the handheld gaming space again bringing the entire strength of Steam’s gaming library for PC games to a handheld device no bigger than a hard cover Harry Potter book.
Then Razer comes along with the Razer Edge. The Razer Edge is unique, not really a Nintendo Switch with exclusive titles. It is not exactly a Steamdeck competitor in the hardware space as well.
Where the Steamdeck is powered by a swatch of PC like parts, AMD’s Zen 3 CPU with integrated GPU, for example, the Edge is made more like a smartphone. It is powered by Qualcomm’s snapdragon G3x Gen 1 platform. That is also an exclusive for Razer, the most powerful integrated processing chip that Qualcomm can produce at this time clocking up to 3GHz on it eight-core Kryo design.
It makes plenty of sense though the Razer Edge is not made to be a smartphone. It is made purely for gaming on the go and to be the best at it. But since it is Qualcomm, there is some smartphone qualities about the handheld device. You get to opt for 5G connectivity for example, so you can technically game anywhere you want to game. You also get WiFi 6E, which is technically still a brand-new technology even for the PC space.
If display quality is what you are looking for, the Steamdeck and Nintendo Switch has nothing on this handheld. It packs a 6.8-inch AMOLED display that refreshes at 144Hz boasting Full HD+ (2400 x 1080). It is technically the most advance display you can find on any handheld device in its class.
So, what can a handheld device that is built purely for gaming with smartphone class hardware can do? It can run on Android, obviously. In that case, you can play Android games like PUBG Mobile and Mobile Legends Bang Bang. It also comes with Epic Games Launcher app out-of-the-box which also means that it will run games like Fortnite and Rocket League Sideswipe with no issue.
It is not just made for mobile games though. It is designed with cloud gaming in mind too. So, if you have and active subscription on Nvidia GeForce Now and Xbox Cloud Gaming and you want to take them out to the world, you can.
That is not all though. While you will not be able to install PC games directly on your Razer Edge, you still can play them. The Razer Edge is the only handheld gaming device out there that comes with the ability to play Steam games at 144Hz via Steam Link remote play. You also get access to Moonlight, and Parsec. We are guessing that Razer might get PlayStation remote play available on the Razer Edge soon too. Sure, you want to be constantly connected to the internet, that is why you might want to get yourselves the 5G variant.
The Razer Edge is technically just an integrated handheld device that works like a smartphone. You can detach it from the new Razer Kishi V2 Pro that it will come with. That also means that you can even use the controllers with your smartphone, if you like. But then again, you would want to be using your Razer Edge for all your games.
The Razer Edge will be available only in the United States for now January 2023 onward. It will only be available in stores and Razer.com in its WiFi only variant at launch. Yes, there will also be a 5G variant as we mentioned, but it will only be available later and exclusively from Verizon. The WiFi variant of the Razer Edge will retail for US$ 399.99 (MYR 1,885*) at launch. Unfortunately, there are no mentions on its availability and official pricing in other regions currently. More information on the Razer Edge can be found on their website.
*Approximately based on exchange rate of US$ 1 = MYR 4.71 as of 18/10/2022 on xe.com
Those are the immortal words that many who have ventured into the world of Sanctuary hear in their minds. The words string together an epic, gothic journey to save a small town which then turned into a quest to save the world.
Diablo Immortal is, perhaps, the most contentious entry into the long running series by Blizzard. The game was overshadowed by anticipation for a follow up to Diablo 3. However, hot on the heels of the announcement of the much anticipated Diablo 4, the doors of Sanctuary are now opening once again. Diablo Immortal will be debuting globally on 2 June 2022.
However, Southeast Asia will have to wait a few weeks until 23 June 2022. According to Blizzard, the is needed “to better optimise the player experience by setting up dedicated game servers for the region”. The game will be available in Malaysia, Macau, Philippines, Taiwan Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong and Thailand on iOS, Android and PC. However, it will only be available on PC in Vietnam at the time of launch. Pre-registered users will receive the Horadrim Cosmetic Set at launch. The game also supports cross play and cross progression between platforms.
The game takes place between the events of Diablo 2 and Diablo 3 after the shattering of the World Stone. With Tyrael presumed dead and the World Stone shattered, Sanctuary is thrown into chaos. The powerful fragments of the World Stone are now littered across the world, tainting Sanctuary. Diablo’s hordes of minions are seeking that power to bring the Lord of Terror back. It falls to the player, a nephalem, to stop them.
Players will be able to play as one of six classes in Diablo Immortal – Barbarian, Crusader, Demon Hunter, Monk, Necromancer or Wizard – as they embark on a journey through eight different zones and the great city of Westmarch. You will come across many familiar faces in your journey including the wise sage, Deckard Cain as you venture to gather the shattered pieces of the World Stone before the forces of the Burning Hells.
Unlike other entries in the Diablo franchise, Diablo Immortal is a Massively Multiplayer Online Action Role-Playing Game (MMOARPG) with a social experience that is totally new to the franchise. Players will now be able to interact with others in a massive world. You will be able to form Warbands and take on intense Helliquary raid bosses and even join Clans with up to 150 other players to unlock Clan achievements. You’ll even be able to test your strength as you vie for the Eternal Crown in the Cycle of Strife with brutal 1v30 showdowns as you defend the crown.
Diablo Immortal is free to play but has a microtransaction component to it. According to Blizzard, in-game purchases are optional with the game’s core experience being completely free. The company is also teasing new content for the game in the coming years. NetEase and Blizzard will be adding new zones, dungeons and character classes regularly.
