‘Homeworld Mobile’ Gets a New Gameplay Trailer and Announces Beta Sign-Ups

Way back in 2013 after THQ went bankrupt and Gearbox Software snatched up the rights to Homeworld from them, a super vague tweet from Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford stating that they were “thinking about" a way to bring Homeworld to mobile platforms got fans excited that we might actually see the classic real-time strategy series on our mobile devices someday. It took a lot longer than any of us might have expected, but in August of last year alongside the announcement of a Homeworld 3, Gearbox also announced the tentatively titled Homeworld Mobile with just the briefest of teaser trailers. There were no other details announced at that time, but I think it was safe to say that the biggest question on everyones mind was how Homeworld Mobile would be monetized. Well we still don’t know the answer to that for sure, but this week Gearbox did release a brand new trailer for Homeworld Mobile which shows much more of the game in action, and it is downright beautiful.

Homeworld 3 is being crowdfunded through the Fig platform, and as they already announced last year anybody who has backed the game through Fig will get guaranteed access to the Homeworld Mobile beta. They’ve also announced alongside this week’s new trailer that you can sign up for the closed beta on the game’s official website. I’m still anxious to hear more details about this mobile version of Homeworld, but the shiny new gameplay trailer and the call for beta sign-ups leads me to believe that it’s coming along nicely so far and hopefully the wait won’t be too long until we can carry around this RTS classic in our pockets. Once more details about Homeworld Mobile are revealed we’ll let you know.

‘Franz’ is a Strange Mashup of Texting-Based Adventure and “Angry Tamagotchi” from the Makers of ‘Pathologic’ and ‘Knock-Knock’

That is quite a headline, but, Franz is the kind of gaming experience that can’t be easily summarized. It’s an ambitious and unique new project from developer Ice-Pick Lodge, who made their name with the open-world horror FPS Pathologic and have also dabbled in mobile with their truly weird survival horror title Knock-Knock Game , which we reviewed back in 2014 . Ice-Pick has grown to become a fan-favorite developer due to their somewhat twisted and unconventional take on developing and storytelling, and “twisted and unconventional" are two extremely apt descriptors for their upcoming title Franz . What even is Franz ? I guess if you had to summarize, Ice-Pick describes it as “a hybrid between an SMS novel and an angry version of tamagotchi" but it also seems like the type of thing that doesn’t really have anything else before it to compare to. You can watch a very cryptic teaser trailer just below followed by a fascinating behind-the-scenes video where the game’s art dire...

Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for July 31st, 2019. I managed to spend half of my birthday sick in bed, but I got a sweet birthday cake from my wife and some nice Spider-Man loot, so it’s hard to be upset. In today’s article, we’ve got a review of the recent shoot-em-up release Pawarumi , summaries of today’s trio of new releases, some tasty news bits, and a bunch of cool sales to dig into. Let’s roll into it! News ‘Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’ Now Features the Hero from ‘Dragon Quest’ I actually got a prediction right for once! Praise me!

SwitchArcade Round-Up: ‘BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL!’, ‘Moero Chronicle Hyper’, and Other New Releases, Ridiculous Amounts of Sales, and More

Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for Monday, April 29th. You may have noticed that there was no SwitchArcade on Friday. I had a bit of a medical emergency and it just wasn’t possible to put anything together. Sorry! But I’m okay now, and as such I’ve decided to catch up on everything I missed. No news or reviews today, but watch for those to make their returns tomorrow. Let’s catch up! New Releases Panty Party ($14.99) I still can’t believe this is a real game that exists and is available on the Nintendo eShop. But here we are. Take control of one of a large variety of flying panties and use your special abilities to attack the enemy panties. That sentence describes a real video game. Given that the game is rated E10+, you probably shouldn’t expect anything too provocative here. Rather, it’s a sort of absurdity that you play just to see stupid-looking situations. And you can even play four-player split-screen, provided you can find three friends that w...
