Introducing Character Deck Duel, A New PvP Mode Arriving in Yu‑Gi‑Oh! Duel Links!

Posted on by

Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. has announced a new PvP mode is now available for Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links. It’s time to Du-Du-Du-Du, Du-Du-Du-Du-Du-Duel! alongside your favorite iconic Duelists in Character Deck Duels!

Duel against each other using Character Decks, designed with the primary goal of providing an easily accessible Duel Links PvP experience while allowing players to battle in a way that reflects the playstyle of each character. These new Decks come with fixed Skills and cards that represent the specific character and can also be used in both PvP and PvE modes.

The Character Decks are designed to give players a guided introduction to each character’s signature playstyle. Dueling in this new mode allows Duelists to earn Respect Orbs, a special reward item that is based on their performance rating and can be exchanged at the Trader for cards and various other items.  Duelists can trade in Respect Orbs for a Grade Star which increases the Grade of a Character Deck. Increasing the Deck’s Grade allows Duelists to replace up to a maximum of five cards based on the Deck’s Grade.

Nine characters will receive their own exclusive Character Deck: 

  • Yami Yugi
  • Seto Kaiba (DM) 
  • Joey Wheeler (DM)
  • Jaden Yuki
  • Zane Truesdale
  • Yusei Fudo
  • Jack Atlas
  • Yuma & Astral
  • Reginald “Shark” Kastle

Each Character Deck can be obtained through a lifetime mission that is automatically completed when you acquire the corresponding character.

Watch the Dark Heresy Combat Gameplay Showcase

Posted on by

Take a look at alpha gameplay from Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy in this new trailer for the upcoming party-based, story-driven cRPG. Access to the Alpha is available with the Collector’s Edition and Developers pack.

Lead investigations, uncover grand conspiracies, master tactical combat, and wage a secret war against heresy. Make tough choices as a conduit of the God-Emperor’s will.

While Dark Heresy’s combat system retains the core principles of Rogue Trader, it also adds new layers: characters can target their enemies’ weak points with both ranged and melee weapons to incapacitate them or do maximum damage to a specific part of the body. They can also break a whole group’s resolve by overwhelming enemies with their prowess and end fights early. This befits agents of the Inquisition, experts at breaking the bodies and spirits of Mankind’s foes.

Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy is coming to PC (Epic Games Store, Steam, and GOG), PlayStation 5 (PS5), and Xbox Series X/S. Become an acolyte of the Inquisition in this grim dark, party-based, story-driven cRPG.
