QNU – Brawlout, Dissidia Final Fantasy NT, Rivals of Aether & Black Clover: Quartet Knights

Brawlout features a range of characters in small arenas and has to knock them over the edge. Angry Mob Games is bringing its Smash Bros flavored fighting game, Brawlout, to PS4 and XBoxOne next week. Featuring a selection of original characters, the game is set to include appearances from the likes of the Drifter from Hyper Light Drifter, Juan from Guacamelee!, and the titular Yooka-Laylee duo will be joining the party, Brawlout launching on August 21.

Shovel Knight will join fighting game Rivals of Aether as a playable character. Due out for the PC version in September as a $4.99 downloadable add-on, the Shovel Knight and also the Troupple Pond stage from his game.

Shovel Knight comes with a huge array of tools from his game and puts them all to use in Rivals of Aether. His attacks knock gems out of his opponents which he can collect to increase his treasure. By taunting, Shovel Knight can summon Chester and spend his treasure on upgrades. This allows players to customize each fight to their needs and experience even more of Shovel Knight’s abilities. Shovel Knight’s signature Shovel Drop is a big part of his game plan in Rivals of Aether and sets up for his combos.

Rivals of Aether is available now for Xbox One and PC. According to today’s update, a “Definitive Edition” featuring all the characters, more online features, and Abyss Mode customizations is coming to PC in 2019, and more platforms are also planned.

Dissidia Final Fantasy NT will add the Insomnia Citadel from Final Fantasy XV as a battle stage in a late October version update, Square Enix announced. The arcade version of Dissidia Final Fantasy will receive the stage first as part of its August 10 version update.

Dissidia Final Fantasy NT is available now worldwide for PlayStation 4, and Dissidia Final Fantasy is available in Japanese arcades.

Bandai Namco has released a new trailer for Black Clover: Quartet Knights introducing playable character Vetto and Charmy. Charmy fabricates sweets out of thin air to recover her squad, and summon a giant sheep to fight off the enemy. Vetto is a tall, very muscular man, with long blond hair, sharp teeth and a blond beard. He has a rather beast-like appearance befitting his magic. A ruthless man, Vetto enjoys instilling hopelessness and despair into his opponents and believes that true hopelessness can be instilled when others think there is a chance of winning.

Black Clover: Quartet Knights is due out for PlayStation 4 on September 13 in Japan, and for PlayStation 4 and PC via Steam on September 14 in the Americas and Europe. A PlayStation 4 open beta will run from August 17 to 20.

Though it was recently announced that base form Goku and Vegeta would be the next pair of DLC characters heading to Dragon Ball FighterZ, there’s even more Dragon Ball news, as Kefla was also revealed as the latest DLC character coming to Xenoverse 2.

The Potara Fusion of Universe 6 female Saiyans Kale the boring one and Caulifla, the cocky warrior, together their power rivaled Goku before he mastered Ultra Instinct. Also, Baby Vegeta is apart of the next DLC pack but I don’t care that much about that guy anyway but I’ll check out his trailer. No release date was given for Kefla, but she will likely be part of DLC Pack 7

Basic base Goku will have access to his Kaioken. He usually able to perform this while in Super Saiyan Blue but once Kaioken is activated, Goku will be able to power up based on the number of Goku’s fallen allies. He’ll use the 3x version with one fallen ally and the 20x version with two fallen allies.

Basic base Vegeta is shown utilizing his Galick Gun attack. This was one of Vegeta’s signature attacks back in the day. Vegeta’s other Super attack appears to be none other than his Galaxy Breaker, the same move that he used to kill off his partner Nappa after Goku was finished with him. No release date yet but let’s just say Summer 2018.

Once again Street Fighter 5 developers are churning out another batch of beach themed costumes for the five female fighters without them and why just these ladies because Capcom has no love for their male members of the cast.

Menat, Falke, Kolin, Sakura & Juri are all getting new costumes as the third Summer Pack was announced last week at San Diego Comic Con. Come with me and you’ll see a closer look at the ladies newest threads! Who knows when these costumes will be hitting consoles and steam as Capcom only accompanied them with a “Coming Soon!” caption, WTF Capcom! Once again you know your boy got you with the update, news & information for fighting games when it becomes available.

Angry Mob Games is Streamline combat rather than slow-paced defensive battles, as Brawlout goes all-out with the lightning-fast aerobatics which platform fighters are famous for. The action is kept fast and fluid with advanced techniques like air dodging, wavedashes, directional influence, teching, ledge grabs or rage bursts. Each character in Brawlout has their own unique playstyle, catering to specific character archetypes seen in other fighters. Playtonic’s Yooka-Laylee has just been revealed as the latest guest fighter for the game. Previously released guest fighters in Brawlout include Juan from Guacamelee! and Hyper Light Drifter.

Brawlout is available now on the PC, Nintendo Switch and coming soon to the XBox One. Brawlout will finally step into PlayStation 4 rings on August 21, 2018.

Voldo returns to form here with his strange, self-taught fighting style. He harnesses his dual Jamadhar Katars, which are called Manas & Ayus. With his unorthodox playstyle, he is able to avoid all attacks in his signature fashion.

Soul Calibur 6 is headed to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on October 19th, 2018.
