Minecraft is a sandbox video game that allows players to use at maximum their creativity in order to build in a 3D procedurally generated world.

Following the success of Pokémon Go’s augmented reality (AR) gameplay, Minecraft is also making a leap into it with Minecraft Earth (ME).

The game will be playable on iOS and Android with a beta release in summer, this year. The game has a multiplayer version available through game-to-game multiplayer LAN play. The players can run their own servers or connect to another player’s game via Xbox live. Xbox live is the online gaming service of Microsoft, unlocking the full potential from Windows 10, Xbox One and Xbox Mobile apps. For Minecraft Earth will provide the foundation and the support of online play.

The company did not provide much information on ME, however it looks like an Xbox Live account will be required. If you are already an Xbox Live user you can use directly your credentials. If you do not have an Xbox Live account you can just make one for free. It is true that Xbox One users have paid Xbox Live Gold subscription however to play Minecraft Earth you just need a free Xbox Live account.

Once you create an Xbox Live account, your username and profile along with your gaming progress will be saved. Users who are already Minecraft players and wish to transfer skins and achievements can do so using their Xbox Live credentials.

In an effort to ensure young gamers safety, Minecraft Earth will use Xbox Live privacy and safety tools giving parents the option to monitor and tailor their kids gaming experience.

For fans who would like to try as soon as possible ME, the beta applications will soon be ready. They will need to make an Xbox Live account for the beta sign-up as well.

New Major Update for Brawl Stars – New Skins and Brawlers

Supercell has been playing a little with our patience, and from time to time, teasers have appeared for the famous multiplayer game Brawl Stars. Most of the talks have been on Twitter, and the new game mode has been teased as well. The teaser has been saying that a new brawler will join the club and Retroplis as well. But the wait has come to an end, so we can say at least that we have the update in question. The update for Brawl Stars it’s rolling out to all users, so let’s take a look at it.

Brawl Stars

Brawl Stars is a free multiplayer mobile game, an arena/fighter/party game, developed and published by Supercell, and released in 2018. The purpose of the game is to collect brawlers and use each one of them in the game. You can also join clubs to play with other players, or you can create your own club. In the game, you will have Brawl Boxes that contain loot chests, coins, brawlers, and Power Points. Each Brawler has a primary attack and a Super attack, and an unlockable passive ability. You have to bring down your opponents by shooting them and defeating them.

Latest Update for Brawl Stars

  1. The New Brawler – BIBI

As we have mentioned above, a new Brawler has been teased by Supercell in the last update of the game. The new Brawler’s name is BIBI, and it has three attacks. BIBI has a super attack called Spitball that uses a bouncing ball of bubble gum, and it can give damage to enemies when they are hit multiple times. Also, the main attack is the Three Strikes which knocks back her enemies when she has the Home Run bar charged. And the last one, BIBI’s star power is Home Run, which is increasing speed movement only when her Home Run is charged fully.

  1. The New Event – Retropolis

New update we have, a new event we receive. With the Retropolis event, you will receive new menu music, a unique neon style for the menu background, and new in-game music.

  1. New Skins

The new skins that come with this update are the Hot Rod Brock, the Road Rage Carl, the Bake Sale Barley, and the Maple Barley.

Balance Changes with the New Update

  1. Rosa – in this new update, Rosa is taking some changes such as the super duration that has been decreased from 4/0 seconds to 3/0 seconds. Also, its Star power has been reduced too, from 300 per seconds to 200 per seconds. For charging up Rosa fully, you need to give ten hits now instead of nine hits. The main attack will now match the area where the damage was done.
  2. Frank – good news for Frank, it’s buffed, and you can Super stun the Siege bar again, and you have the full duration.
  3. Carl- just like Frank, Carl has been buffed. Now you can pre-aim with his initial attack while using Carl’s Super. The cooldown time for the main attack is much shorter now.
  4. This last update can come without changes to the map. You will see that the map has been changed to match the Retropolis theme. Also, a reminder of the maps that have been added in the latest update – Gem Grab-Cross Cut, Heist-Pit Stop, and Side Story.
  5. Rosa has received a new voice cover.
  6. A new option in the game is the in-game mail. The Leaders & co-leaders can now mail to Club members.
