Soccer fans, get your shoes shined and your uniforms bleached, as Konami is getting ready to release another fresh new update for Pro Evolution Soccer Club Manager on iOS and Android soon. The big news with this upcoming update is the inclusion of a brand new event allowing gamers to play alongside other members of their association in a competition against rival associations. There will also be a new monthly “Hall of Fame” event to take part in, too.

If you have no idea what this gaming app is all about, PES Club Manager allows gamers to create and manage their own dream team generated from a roster of over 5,000 licensed players from around the globe. Gamers can train these players, build a clubhouse, and provide tactical instructions to make their team the best in the league. Then, scoop up all that training and management skills, and fight against virtual rival teams in a 3D, real-time match simulation.

PES Club Manager is free to play, enabling gamers to kick through the entire experience at absolutely no cost. However, there is an option to purchase PES Coins that in turn help gamers strengthen their team faster. For just under a dollar, gamers can purchase 10 coins to speed up gameplay, or lay down a whopping $100 in cash for a massive 1,260 coins.

PES Club Manager uses an optimized version of the console game engine used for Pro Evolution Soccer 2015. It’s an online-only experience designed for smartphones and tablets, thus gamers need an internet connection to play, whether it’s through Wi-Fi or 3G/4G cellular connectivity. The good news here is that gamers can progress at their own pace, having full control over the season. That said, they can pick up the device and play as much as they want, anywhere they want.

According to Konami, the upcoming monthly “Hall of Fame” event will enable gamers to pit their trained dream team against other gamers to achieve the highest rank. There will also be a new “National Team” feature enabling scouted players to take part on a national team, a new user interface, and a new app icon.

Konami just updated PES Club Manager late last month. The current version available to download includes FC Barcelona, the Spanish League champion of 2015/2016. There’s also a new “Classic Masters” mode, a new “Data Center” feature that records the gamer’s team history, an association event called “Chain of Goals,” entry regulation changes for Managers Cup, and more.

To get the latest version of PES Club Manager, head to Google Play for Android and iTunes for the iPhone and iPad.

Marvel Snap is an unintended victim of the TikTok ban

Marvel Snap, the ever-popular mobile game, is no longer available in the United States. It went offline at the same time as TikTok. While the focus of the ban has been around TikTok, one aspect of the ban that hasn't been discussed is that it applies to all apps from ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok. Although Marvel Snap is developed by Second Dinner, ByteDance published it.

When you try to open the app now, you see a message stating, "Sorry, Marvel Snap isn't available right now. A law banning Marvel Snap has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use Marvel Snap for now. Rest assured, we're working to restore our service in the U.S. Please stay tuned!"

5 games we want to see on the Nintendo Switch 2
Astrion holds his chin in Baldur's Gate 3.

Now that the Nintendo Switch 2 has had its formal reveal and will be arriving in 2025, we can finally shift our focus from all hardware leaks and rumors to the most important part of any console: the software. The Switch 2 was revealed with footage of Mario Kart 9 and details about its backwards compatibility, but that leaves a lot of room to hope and speculate for other games to fill the lineup of upcoming games. With a host of new features, as well as more power to keep up with games that wouldn't be possible on the Switch, a world of possibility has opened up for games we would love to play on the Switch 2. These are our top seven games that we would love to see hit Nintendo's latest console.
Crusader Kings 3

Hardcore strategy games have typically been a genre locked to PCs. While plenty of recent games have done an admiral job of adapting the complex controls and systems for controllers, the genre is clearly best played with a mouse in almost every example. The Switch 2's new Joy-cons may look like a larger version of the original, but they come with a simple yet brilliant feature that opens the doors for these types of experiences to sing. By holding the Joy-con on its side and placing it on a flat surface, you can use it as a mouse pointer. This would be the ideal way to play a game like Crusader Kings 3, which is built on being one of the most dynamic and deep simulations set in the Middle Ages. Being able to take your empire on the go and still be able to easily manage all the systems without fumbling over the controls would easily get us addicted all over again.
