E-Palarong Pambasna
Remember E-Palarong Pambasna? That E-Palarong Pambansa? Well it seems like its dead, well not dead defunct (defunct synonyms). So in a recent report by Inquirer. The E-Palarong Pambansa (EPP) organizers revealed that their national multi-esports tournament circuit has officially ceased its operations.

Why and what happened? So remember someone mentioned to us that they are a nongovernment-affiliated org? Well that became through because apparently the National Youth Commission, who originally endorsed the tournament, has withdrawn its support. Is it really defunct? So in the announcement baked on the inquirer article, this is what they said. However, we have decided to continue the noble aspirations of the youth for esports and we believe the Philippine National Esports League is the right organization to “continue what we have started” under the brand of ‘The-Bagong Larong Pambasa’.

What is Philippine National Esports League? The Philippine National Esports League is a nationwide LGU-based amateur esports organization
its current chairman is the congressman for Santa Rosa, Laguna’s Lone District Dan Fernandez. So from before we are not a government affiliate to now where promoting a fully government-operated

Nier Automata 2B Figure
If you are a big fan of Nier Automata there is a new Masterline figure that's coming out. This a figure of 2B which is around 95 CM and weighs 21 KG
And damn it really looks good. The pre-order is now available on the Square Enix Website. But if you do not want to buy overseas, I researched Datablitz is going to sell this. 22k down payment, Estimated SRPs: ₱107,000.00 - ₱111,995.00 with Tentative release date: Mar 2024.

Liga Adarna
Is anyone here familiar with Liga Adarna? Basically, it's an esports league catered to the female community. They do tournaments for Mobile Legends and Call of Duty’. There might be more game types im not sure, but you got the context right it's a female league basically. So apparently there was one team that got disqualified called DGR CYGNUS. Basically, DGR CYGNUS has been disqualified from the Liga Adarna Season 7: Ang Bagong Lipad.

Honkai: Star Rail version 1.2
If you are playing Honkai Star Rail the new update version 1.2 ‘Even Immortality Ends’ will launch on July 19. There are three new playable characters making their debut in version 1.2: Blade, Kafka, and Luka. Since they are playable they are on the banner called Nessun Dorma. There will also be 3 limited-time events.

Baldur's Gate 3
So basically Baldur's Gate III sales skyrocketed on Steam. Baldur's Gate III was released in Early Access back in October 2020.

According to news outlets, this might also be the main reason the sales have skyrocketed. So what am I talking about? Let me describe it in detail. So it started with an Elf and a Druid with in-game dialogue options. Naturally, the dialogue becomes romance options. So sparks are flying around Elf becomes interested to Druid vice versa and then more dialogue options so the druid becomes a bear. Basically, they did it Elf to bear.

Assassin's Creed
Do you guys like Assassin Creed? What is your favorite? According to a recent report by Western news outlets, Ubisoft has green-lit a remake of Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, it's still early in development though. But we have another update, the Japan-based Assassin’s Creed: Codename Red is reportedly launching in 2024.

NBA Infinite
Due to popular Level Infinite is releasing a mobile NBA game. The game is called NBA Infinite and will be a horizontal NBA game. Based on the gameplay trailer it's not an idle NBA mobile game.
