What started as an outbreak in Wuhan and the delay of the LPL in China led to a plethora of canceled and reformatted events around the globe. The Coronavirus outbreak has affected many aspects of esports, here is the list so far:
As the holiday season approaches, two prominent global phenomenons will be releasing their next installments in the gaming industry on Friday, November 15 with the hopes of entertaining, inspiring, and bringing in a whole lot of money. Set to release at the end of the week, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Pokémon Sword and Shield have millions upon millions of eager fans (and skeptics) looking to see what each franchise has in store next. From the grassy knoll of the Galar region to the forests of Kashyyyk, both Nintendo and Electronic Arts, respectively, will have their hands full taking players on journeys through known and unknown worlds while working to fight off the competition.
On Wednesday morning, The Pokémon Company unveiled its newest addition to Pokémon Sword and Sword, which is set to release next month, and he's a little round in the mid-section. Based on his original model when he was first created back in 1998, Pikachu is turning back the clock and snacking on a few too many Rare Candies.
One of Nintendo's biggest franchises on handheld consoles is headed to the Nintendo Switch, Pokemon. Inven Global got the opportunity to play Pokemon Sword and Shield on the E3 show floor.
