The adorable Wagabond Pupper event has brought dogs to Dragalia Lost. These furry friends can be played with on a special Walkies quest and in the Dragon’s Roost. There has also been a photo mode added to the game that can be used to snap pictures of the dogs at many different angles. 

The Wagabond Pupper event was added to Dragalia Lost for only a day last year but now it seemingly has no expiration.

There is also a Prize Showcase coming soon on April 1 at 10pm PT. This Prize Showcase has received a trailer showing off the adventurer Alberius (shadow/sword) and the Dragon High Chthonius (shadow). Feel free to check it out below.

A special event is live now in Pokemon Masters EX, and it’s only running for 24 hours.

Investigate these newcomers and battle their sync pairs that have abilities that are unobtainable in the main game.

Make sure to do this quickly, as the event ends on April 1, 2021 at 10:00pm PT.

Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town has reached an impressive sales milestone in its first month of release. Marvelous has announced that the game has sold over 700,000 worldwide units (counting both digital and physical sales) with a short time on the market. 

The western version of Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town has only been out for three days (launching March 23), while the Japanese version has been out since February 25, 2021. This is quite the sales accomplishment given this small time of being released and the fact the game is only on the Switch.

Hopefully, the sales will continue to climb and Marvelous will give more updates on the sales numbers soon.
