The rumor since the weekend is Sony's reactive move where the Japanese company is looking and scouting potential games for Playstation exclusive deals from South Korea gaming studios. Amazon Games taught us about how serious Korean developers are on gaming with Lost Ark. Of course I am defining "reactive" due the performance of the FTC on pleading on their case for the Preliminary Injunction against Microsoft buying Activision Blizzard and that Sony foresee the transaction to close.

Amazon announced that Prime Gaming will have extra games to be claimable for free to keep via their Amazon Games launcher later this month and includes: -Dishonored 2 -Metal Slug -Metal Slug X -Metal Slug 3 -Real Bout Fatal Fury -The King of Fighters 2003 -The Last Blade -The Last Blade 2 -Twinkle Star Sprites -SNK 40th Anniversary Collection Obviously for a limited time, starting December 27th, 2022 and yes, this is mainly for those who could not take advantage of the previous SNK partnership that brought classic fighting games for free, so if you are one of those gamers, here is your chance again!

Lost Ark is a free to play Diablo-esque MMOARPG, and it launches this Friday on Steam. The award-winning free-to-play online game, from Amazon Games and Seoul-based Smilegate RPG, has millions of active players in Korea, Russia and Japan. This Friday, players in North America, Europe, Latin America, and Oceania can join the adventure! “The game features 15 distinct hero classes with unique combinations of adaptable skill sets, utilizing the Tripod skill system which allows players to select and enhance the unique traits of a combat skill when it reaches a certain level.
