So the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel just launched and we already know what you’re going to ask: Is it coming to the Philippines? The short answer is yes. As to the matter of when, we still aren’t sure.

We reached out to Lenovo Philippines and asked if they can give us a hint on when we can expect the Duel to hit the archipelago. This is their exact response:

“We are excited about bringing the Legion Phone to Asia-Pacific and will announce local availability in the coming weeks.”

So we don’t exactly know for sure when it’s coming, but we do know it will get here eventually and that’s something to be excited about.

UPDATE AS OF SEPTEMBER 12, 2020:

Lenovo Philippines has dropped a teaser of the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel. It could launch just before the holidays.

Lenovo Legion Phone Duel

The Lenovo Legion Phone Duel has a 6.65-inch AMOLED display with 144Hz refresh rate with a 240Hz sampling rate. Inside, it’s powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Plus and two RAM options 12GB and 16GB. For storage, it has 512GB UFS 3.1.

It has many more gaming-oriented design and features. It has two 2500mAh batteries — separated strategically for cooling. To juice up, it has 90W Turbo Power Charging. You even have to ports to choose from — one on the bottom like usual, and one to the side which lets you charge while playing in horizontal mode. It also has dual front-facing speakers.

If you’re into streaming your games, this is built for that too. There’s a side-mounted 20MP front-facing camera that can capture 1080P videos and record up to 4K video at 30FPS. There are also four noise-cancelling mics around the phone to help reduce background noise while you stream.

The phone will be available first in China where it’s called Lenovo Legion Phone Pro. It will hit several other markets at a later date.

Ubisoft reveals animated trailer for Immortals Fenyx Rising

Discover Immortals Fenyx Rising Animated Trailer that shapes the myth of Fenyx

You might not be too hyped for this game but this trailer might change your mind. Immortals Fenyx Rising (formerly known as Gods & Monsters) is a fun new take on Greek Mythology. You play the role of Fenyx — a new winged demigod who’s on a quest to save the Greek gods and their home from a dark curse.

This short animation film created by CLM BBDO shows Fenyx battling epic creatures. He tussles against the Minotaur, the Cyclop and the Griffin while How You Like Me Now by The Heavy insolently plays in the background.

Using the Sword of Achilles, Axe of Atalanta, and Bow of Odysseus, Fenyx defeats the monsters one after the other. Each battle she wins dents the rock and, as huge boulders detach from the summit, she ends up shaping the mountain… and her myth!

Watch it here!

Immortals Fenyx Rising takes grand mythological adventure to new heights. Only by mastering the legendary powers of the gods, overcoming heroic trials and confronting powerful mythological beasts, will Fenyx be able to take on Typhon, the deadliest Titan in Greek mythology.

It will be available on December 3, 2020 on the PlayStation 4, the Xbox One family of devices (including the Xbox One X), Nintendo Switc, Epic Games and Ubisoft Connect. The game will also be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Square Enix dropped some big news regarding their latest project — specifically, a sequel to a classic back in the day. For context, The World Ends With You was a popular and well-received action RPG released in 2007 for Japan. It saw a global expansion to most PAL regions and North America in 2008, and found its way to mobile devices in 2012.

Just two years ago, the company even brought it back for an enhanced remaster for the Nintendo Switch. Now, they’re looking to expand the series with this latest game called NEO: The World Ends With You.

Much like the first game, NEO: The World Ends With You takes place in a modern yet cartoonized version of Shibuya. This time around, a brand new cast of characters will partake in the Reaper’s Game for a chance to join the living once more.

As you go around exploring the city streets and sounds, you will uncover the secret behind everything. As Rindo, you and your group of friends must break the fate handed to you by this deadly game.

NEO: The World Ends With You is coming to the PlayStation 4 and the Nintendo Switch. As for its release date, Square Enix is targeting Summer 2021.
