Today KOG Games, publisher of the hit free-to-play MMO Brawler, Grand Chase, releases the highly anticipated Ronan character renewal.  With an impressive 19 playable characters on their action MMO brawler roster, and four functionally different job classes per character, KOG Games prides themselves on always keeping the uber-formidable concept of character balance on the radar. This time, they’ve attacked the arduous task with a complete character renewal for the epic Spell Knight Ronan.

Originally introduced to Grand Chase back in 2008, Ronan is a hybrid melee/magic character that combines in-your-face, explosive melee combat with short to mid-range casting abilities. Back then he was “the” hybrid powerhouse character. However, as Grand Chase has evolved, the number of characters has increased, character functionality changed and expanded. All things considered, Ronan didn’t quite hit the way he used to. So in order to breathe life back into the Kanavan hero, KOG has decided to send Ronan back to school.

To achieve this, every melee attack skill has changed and overall damage has been increased. The two-fold (Spell Sword/White Magic) casting system has been removed and the individual skills have been revamped, removed or reassigned to a more functional part of his caster load out.  A new combo based magic system has been introduced that will lean more on Ronan’s caster roots and less on his melee side, and finally the epic Erudon Sword skill was added. This sword skill summons a massive magic blade that Ronan wields with expert precision. By unlocking the Erudon Sword ability, Ronan gains a large attack range and special skills to use while the sword skill is activated.

In addition to the polished melee attacks and new skill additions, Ronan players will notice faster casting times, optimized delay frames, better casting animations, Skill Tree improvements and a number of forms of enhancement; too many to sum up in one shot.

School’s out and Ronan’s learned a few new tricks! Lay waste to all those who oppose the son of Kanavan. Chase the Action!

SEGA today released a brand new live action trailer for the highly anticipated Company of Heroes™ 2: The Western Front Armies, poised to launch next week worldwide on June 24, 2014, as a standalone multiplayer offering in store and online. Showing the war from two sides, the trailer follows two soldiers, one on each side of the Western Front, walking in slow-motion through the war-torn landscape; the US soldier through a forest, and the German Oberkommando soldier through an open field on the opposing front. They pass others positioned in the heat of the battle – soldiers taking cover, others ready to strike – but something is amiss. Their comrades are frozen in time, bronze war memorial statues representing the countless fallen soldiers of World War II. The two soldiers reach the frontline of the battle, now facing each other with weapons drawn, amongst their frozen brothers. As the first shot is fired, the scene awakens and comes alive with the sound of war, throwing the viewer right in the center of it.
