Dragon Ball Legends PvP Fighting Game Announced for Mobile

Bandai Namco has announced a new title for iOS and Android. Dragon Ball Legends was unveiled at the company's GDC presentation yesterday with the biggest feature being global, real-time PvP.

A 3D, 3v3 fighting game, Legends has players control their chosen characters by tapping cards at the bottom of the screen.

Dragon Ball Legends overseas producer, Toshitaka Tachibana, took to the stage to provide more details, describing the 3D gameplay as "heavily action oriented" and "exactly what the Dragon Ball fans wanted on a mobile app."

The global, real-time PvP is really the main event, allowing players from all over the world to face off against one another. Global PvP means players won't be separated by regions or areas, as it would "lose the point of having a global PvP system to begin with."

Justice League Is the Lowest Grossing Film in the DC Universe

DC's Justice League has ended its box office run, coming in as the lowest-grossing movie in the DC Extended Universe in the US. There's a chance that may become true internationally, too.

io9 reports that Justice League's US takings of $229,024,295 puts it dead last out of the five DCEU films released so far, grossing around $60 million less than 2013's Man of Steel.

It currently ranks last out of the five DCEU movies internationally too, sitting at $657,924,295. That's $10 million shy of Man of Steel, but the film is still open in some territories, meaning that may not be the case for much longer.

Fortnite Mobile Makes $1 Million in First Three Days

Fortnite iOS launched last week and players spent $1 million on in-app purchases within the first 72 hours.

According to data from Sensor Tower, the game has raked in over $1.5 million worldwide so far, which is impressive, considering the release has been limited to invite-only on iOS.

Sensor Tower reports that, based on cosmetic in-app purchases alone, Fortnite has grossed around a third of the revenue that Pokemon Go earned in its first four days on iOS. Niantic managed to make $4.9 million in four days, so Fortnite's numbers really aren't too shabby.

The game also topped the iOS charts in 47 countries less than 24 hours after launch, and ranked within the top 10 in 58 countries. Fortnite will be coming to Android eventually, but for now, it's invite-only on iOS.

Mr. Rogers: A War Hero Is the Latest Bootleg Universe Short

A new Bootleg Universe short film from producer Adi Shankar has been revealed: Mr. Rogers: A War Hero.

The film, which is the Bootleg Universe's spin on TV icon Mister Rogers, is the latest of a series of popular and sometimes controversial takes on popular IPs. Previous installments have included The Punisher: Dirty Laundry, Venom: Truth in Journalism, and Power/Rangers.

“When I was young my heroes had magazords, adamantium claws, and vampire slaying whips. They were spectacular and unlocked my imagination. But after the events of the past few years my heroes have changed, and now anyone who selflessly enriches a child’s life is a hero to me. This entry is a love letter to a man who showed us what being a good neighbor looks like,” said Bootleg Universe creator Adi Shankar.

SimCity Creator Will Wright Announces New Game Proxi

Proxi, a new mobile game from legendary game designer Will Wright, was revealed today during Unity's keynote at Game Developers Conference (GDC) 2018.

Wright and developer Gallium Artists are creating the new title with Unity. Like the previous games Wright has created—which include SimCity, The Sims, and Spore—Proxi is a simulation game. In this new mobile game,  however, players will construct worlds from their memories.

At the outset, players will have a blank world they can then develop by using memories as their building blocks. Players can choose any topic they want—like "family adventures," for example—and place it into the world, creating islands of connected memories that will form into 3D worlds over time.
