Publisher Kalypso Media and developer Palindrome Interactive have put forward the fourth Dev Diary for their upcoming empire management/turn-based strategy title, Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars. This goes over some of the game’s lore and core mechanics. Check out the video below.

Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars is due out on Switch both physically and digitally on August 28.

Fire Emblem Heroes has dropped a lot of new content, including new heroes to summon from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. These Choose Your Legends: Round 4 winners include Edelgard, Dimitri, Lysithea, and Claude and they are dressed in special outfits. One of these five star heroes can be picked to be summoned for free as a part of this event. 

Coming with these heroes is a new story chapter in Book IV (chapter 10) where players will fight on a brand new map. 2 Orbs can be earned for clearing this map as the Forging Bonds: A New Future event is live now and for seven days during the event, players can earn 2 Orbs the first time a map is cleared.

Finally, there are some more minor content additions such as the number of times Dragonflowers can be used on heroes has been increased. Heroes who could be upgraded 5 times can now be upgraded 10 times and heroes that could be upgraded 10 times can now be upgraded 15.

Dragalia Lost dropped some new content today, starting with the revival of the facility event and summoning showcase of A Crescendo of Courage. This will bring higher summoning chances for five star variants of Summer Cleo, Summer Verica, and Pop-Star Siren. 

Also started now is the second part of the summer log-in bonus, featuring wyrmite, Light Tomes, and Shadow Tomes. Both of the aforementioned content drops will run until August 27 at 10:59pm PT. 

Finally, a new chapter has been added to the main story, titled “Light and Shadow.” This continuation of the main campaign will have the prince and his allies pursue Zethia’s captor to North Grastaea and face off against a familiar warrior once they arrive.
