What We Know About Operation Apocalypse Z

Category: ID@XBOX July 9, 2026 Meet the Star Operator Who Rewrites the Ranged Rulebook in Starward V3.1 Electra Xu/Editor, Shengtianyouxi Summary Tips for customizing Plizka’s playstyle. Details on the return of a favorite crossover event. Summer surprises including an underwater event. Starward Version 3.1 is now live on XBOX — featuring three original Star Operators (Pliszka, Remiel, Simona), the Frame Arms Girl collaboration rerun on July 9, and a summer event with a free Cherub swimsuit skin. Pliszka Joins the Fight — a Speedster with Heavy Firepower Since her first teaser, Pliszka has been the breakout star of Version 3.1 — and it’s easy to see why. With her striking design and a unique kit that blends aggressive mobility with devastating firepower, she’s already won over the community before even touching the battlefield. Hailing from the AODS-AFTU faction, Pliszka is a Star Operator equipped with a powerful set of gear known as the Wing Rider Assembly. This system grants her exceptional firepower and the ability to enter a Cruising State for high-speed engagements. But the power comes with trade-offs: the Wing Rider Assembly increases her hitbox size and accelerates her descent speed. Savvy commanders can detach the assembly mid-battle to shed the extra weight and unlock a more agile, nimble playstyle — turning Pliszka into a completely different threat depending on the situation. We sat down with Zongzi, the lead designer behind Pliszka, to learn more about her creation: “From the very beginning, we set out to find the perfect balance between heavy firepower and mobility. Pliszka is designed as an all-rounder who can excel in both roles. We hope everyone enjoys playing her as much as we enjoyed making her.” Pliszka’s limited-time banner is now live — jump in and recruit her while you can. Frame Arms Girl Collaboration Returns Today The collaboration that fans have been asking for is back. Starting today, the Frame Arms Girl crossover event gives you another chance to recruit Gourai-Kai, Stylet, and Baselard. Missed them the first time? Now’s your chance. Summer Fun Awaits — Dive into the Deep Starward has prepared a brand-new Summer event. Pick your favorite Star Operator and venture into the unknown depths of the ocean for an underwater treasure hunt. Complete daily missions to earn Exploration Coins, exchange them at the event shop for generous rewards, and — best of all — grab a brand-new swimsuit skin for Cherub completely free! And if that’s not enough to tempt you, Zongzi let slip a little surprise: rumor has it you might run into a completely unexpected mystery character during your exploration. Starward Version 3.1 “Summer Dive” is available now on XBOX. Download and play for free — and we hope this update brings you a summer experience like no other. 星之翼(Starward) Shengtianyouxi ☆☆☆☆☆ 157 ★★★★★ Get it now Starward Version 3.1 has arrived!

Starward is a 3D fighting game that integrates mecha girls and classic GVG combat gameplay, with 1V1 and 2V2 mode as the core gameplay. In Starward, players can control mecha girls with distinct personalities and different combat styles, and experience three-dimensional combat experiences beyond the ground. Classic GVG-like Gameplay Starward faithfully recreates the GVG gameplay that has been popular in Japanese arcade halls for over a decade. It includes actions such as Beam Rifle, Machine Gun, Charge Shoot, fighting, blocking, stepping, dashing, allowing you to quickly showcase your skill level. The Starward experience spans across three distinct game modes featuring 2V2, 1V1 and Arcade gameplay. PvP is the main, featuring fast-paced battles lasting about 3 minutes per match. Mecha Girls VERSUS All characters are mecha girls, skilled in close-range fighting or long-range shooting. You can choose characters like Aliz, SkySaber, XiaoLing to play as vanguards; or characters like Elfin, Cavalry, Hikari to play as rearguards. Each character has its unique design, such as Chinese style, elves, witches, fully armed mecha girls, and more. The COST System The character's combat power "COST" is divided into four categories: 3.0/2.5/2.0/1.5. You need to allocate the "COST" of the team to achieve the most reasonable configuration. .post-template-default .xwsrc-block-content-block .wp-block-column.flex-basis-50.push--25.column--content { flex: 100%; margin-left: 0; } The post Meet the Star Operator Who Rewrites the Ranged Rulebook in Starward V3.1 appeared first on XBOX Wire.

The ports of Call of Duty: Black Ops (2010) and Black Ops 2 (2012) are available now. The ports, which were confirmed in June, are developed by Iron Galaxy in conjunction with Activision. As announced previously, these are not remasters or remakes--if you enjoyed the games in their original states, that's what you're getting here. The games cost $40, but PlayStation Plus members can get each for $20 through August 6. There is no bundle that puts them together. Black Ops 1 and 2 are out now on PS4 and PS5. The descriptions for each state that the games offer "a classic Call of Duty experience," and as such, cross-platform multiplayer is not supported. Beyond the base games, Activision is also selling each game's season pass for $30 (or $10 through August 6 for PlayStation Plus members). The season pass bundles include additional multiplayer maps and Zombies content. The next brand-new Call of Duty game is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, which launches this October for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, and PC. View the full article
