We've added a page to the Zoids Material Hunters game section that includes some basic gameplay. This is very much a WIP and currently is only covering basic menu info. Half of which we haven't gotten to yet. We hope it can be useful later on.

    More importantly though it tells users from the US how to play the game. Normally we don't do this, but for region locked, limited lifetime games (most Zoids mobile games lasted a year or less) we figured it doesn't hurt. English players can even pay and support the game to earn Zoids Gold. We'd like to ask, though, if anyone uses this guide to sign up, to maybe send us any beginner achievements not in the current list? We missed these and can't get them without restarting the game, which would mean losing a lot of progress.

    Zoids Material Hunters has launched! A link on this Tumblr Post will show a few Twitter posts made by players of the game, who have shared many customization options for the in-game Zoids.

    Zoids: Material Hunters has far surpassed the original sign-up goal! This means that people will receive the upgraded White Tiger as well as 3,000 Zoid Gold when the game launches. A launch date has been estimated for April or May! New images can be found on Yoyaku Top 10 and on Famitsu!

    We've also added a page for Zoids Material Hunters under Games. All translations are courtesy of Falcarius! Since our last update they've posted a trailer (seen below) and six new Zoid profiles. All profiles (and world view / story information) is translated and posted in the different Material Hunter pages.

    In celebration of pre-registration reaching 70,000 members there is a Zoids: Material Hunters giveaway for Japan residents. It will raffle off three of the threezero Iron Kong figures, and one of the threezero Shield Liger figures. These designs are based on the concept art book world.

    Zoids Material Hunters has begun a website of their own, which we'll include in the Links section. The game is open for a pre-registration, where you send in your E-mail (though likely foreign fans will be unable to play.) Early registration will enable users to gain access to the brand new 'White Tiger' Zoid. This is the first brand new Zoid revealed in a very long time, and we're excited to see that!

    The site also includes world view pages with story information and brand new images, as well as a Zoids page that provides stats and generalized information for the in-game Zoids.

    The Zoids: Material Hunters youtube channel has uploaded more video, focused on boss combat which is in a more open battle field. The gameplay seems very simple, but we look forward to seeing more!

    The Zoids: Material Hunters website has updated with reports from the Tokyo Hobby Show! These provided images of the large Shield Liger, some gameplay images, etc. At the event a pamphlette was handed out by the young ladies you see standing around the liger. It was a single 3-part fold out that contained images of brand new Zoids!

    Video can be viewed on the G-Cluster Facebook page. The game style seems very reminiscent of those old 2D fighter plane games where you had to avoid the oncoming missiles. The event coverage is split into two pages, Part One and Part Two. The event also gave out some small metal pins of the shown Zoids. A small promo is shown below from the G-Cluster Youtube channel!

    In the last update we mentioned Zoids: Material Hunters, a new upcoming game scheduled to launch in 2015! They have added a brand new site for the game which includes details on the event and also a new screenshot of the game play. You can find the site here and in our links section! We've also updated the TT Banners article with the new banner.



    The new Zoids Material Hunters website mentions the event at the Tokyo Game Show where they're planning to reveal a massive 180cm (5'8") concept Shield Liger at their booth! No, this isn't a for sale product but it has been a long time since we've seen large scale Zoids at conventions, so I can't wait for the reveal!

    On the heels of Zoid: Bonds of Steel shutting down a new interactive game has been announced! Zoids: Material Hunters (a working title) is said to encorporate a unique system that will allow the user to play on both the iOS and Android, and on television! The game will involve many mechanics including battling opponents (supposedly in a one click system) and hunting for materials and other resources, thus the title.

    The first demo is expected to be shown at the Tokyo Game Show later this year. The game is ideally expected to launch in Spring of 2015. We look forward to seeing more about this news develope and you can view the page for it here!
