    Warhammer Blood Bowl, published by Slitherine, is currently in beta and will eventually replace Blood Bowl 3, with owners of Blood Bowl 3 getting it for free and their accounts transferring over. A Slitherine representative confirmed players will use the same BB account on both games, so all cosmetics, Warpstone and teams bought in BB3 will carry over instantly. Warpstone will still be used for cosmetics in the new game, but Slitherine said it is still thinking about how to handle teams.

    Phoenix Cyclops joins MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls on November 2 as the first Year 1 Pass DLC character

    MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls producer Takeshi Yamanaka announced that Phoenix Cyclops, the first Year 1 Pass DLC character, arrives on November 2, voiced by Ray Chase, with Classic and Legacy DLC costumes on the same day. He explained that the Phoenix version was chosen over the traditional Cyclops to offer fresher visuals and a different fighting style. Cyclops is an all-rounder using varied Optic Blasts, and collecting four Solar Shards lets him transform into Dark Phoenix for a temporary boost that also drains health. The game's first PlayStation Store sale starts today, PlayStation Plus members get a 3-hour Game Trial from today, and attendees at EVO France from October 9-11 can try him early.

    Why this: The producer explains why Phoenix Cyclops was chosen over the classic version and details the Solar Shards transformation and DLC costumes.
