Tears of Themis Celebrates the First Anniversary in July
Global interactive entertainment brand HoYoverse announced that the romance detective title, Tears of Themis, is welcoming its first anniversary on July 29! To celebrate the first anniversary of Stellis city, a gigantic lineup of anniversary-themed new features and events will launch with the server update in July!
This will be the best time for Attorneys to commemorate special memories with their loved ones, as well as to enjoy the fantastic in-game events and gain bountiful rewards. Personal Story Episode 4 will also be available at the same time, starting a brand-new chapter into the future. This new episode will be a blissful tale, built upon all the passion and heartfelt emotion in the story so far. With the bashfulness of adolescence left in the past, a devoted affection can no longer be concealed…
The main story of Tears of Themis takes place in the fictitious city of Stellis, where players kick off their legal career as a rookie attorney, solving cases and issues by conducting investigations and debates. When the darkness hidden beneath finally unveils itself, a sinister force that threatens justice and order slowly begins to surface. The four male protagonists with distinct personalities, also known as the members of the NXX Investigation Team, provide continuous support and assistance throughout this journey. Relationships blossom with the establishment of mutual trust and close cooperation.
The flagship event “Blissful Fête” starts after the update on July 5, with a myriad of Time-Limited Stellis Celebration Events in tow. Players can visit and explore Stellis city with the four male leads while working closely together! During the event, players will be able to unlock “Celebration Progress” and complete Special Event tasks to obtain a generous amount of rewards, including card upgrade materials, the Limited Anniversary Badge “Times of Our Lives,” and limited Anniversary R cards. The Anniversary Event-Limited Namecard “Celebration – Stellis,” and Invitation Background “Night Beach” can also be earned by accumulating event tokens through active participation.
For those who long for more interaction and companionship with NXX members, the Time-Limited events, “Festive Games” and “Mirage of Blooming Swords” will be the best opportunity to achieve this goal. “Festive Games” consist of several mini-games where players must team up with or compete against one of the four male leads, to test how well they work as a pair! In addition, the “Mirage of Blooming Swords” story tasks will come in stages, and players will be able to wander around different districts of Stellis city and solve cases while accompanied by NXX members! In addition, the “Stellis Exploration” system will be permanently available even after the Anniversary Special Event ends!
Aside from in-game activities, the Anniversary “Kiss of Fervour” event Shadow of Themis will be available for a limited time during the event period! These four Anniversary Event Limited SSR cards will have an increased draw rate: Luke “Under the Milky Way,” Artem “Eternal Yearning,” Vyn “Committed,” and Marius “Expression Through Art.” These cards come with exclusive BGMs, customized card stories, 3D keepsakes and exquisite Vow Badges… Treasure the enchanting moment of confession forever!
A number of rewards are also coming on July 11, including a Sign-In Bonus event where players can log in for 10 free draws. At the same time, there will also be a 1st Buy Bonus Reset and Returner Gifts! Players can also accumulate a specified number of draws during the event period to obtain the “Azure Vacation” Anniversary Limited Lounge Set (total 13 items) and “Kiss of Fervour” Time-Limited Vision items, such as “Tears of Themis – Limited” x50, “Selection Star SSR” x4, and many more rewards!

Amusnet is poised to elevate the thrill in the crash game segment with the imminent launch of Hippo Splash – a lively, quick-paced game that merges fun narratives with exhilarating gameplay and a verifiably fair algorithm.
At the core of Hippo Splash is a memorable image: a playful hippo gingerly balancing on a log in the center of a lake.

With its colorful theme, engaging mechanics, and modern crash gameplay, Hippo Splash is poised to appeal to both seasoned crash game fans and newcomers looking for something fun, fast, and rewarding.

155.io
155.io Breaks the Mold Again, Introducing the CCTV Game Genre via Rush Hour
155.io, the live content studio transforming real-world games, has launched CCTV.Game, an innovative genre created entirely from live CCTV footage collected worldwide. The category debuts with its inaugural title, Rush Hour. The live game operates around the clock to convert real-life traffic into immediate viewing and wagering entertainment.
The CCTV Game signifies a new path for 155.io, broadening its chaos-oriented philosophy into completely live, real-world settings. Created using numerous live CCTV feeds from around the globe, the game transforms everyday activities into quick, engaging, and immediately bettable entertainment.
Running nonstop, Rush Hour enables players to wager on straightforward, distinct results during rounds lasting under a minute – such as the number of cars that cross a junction or the quantity that turns left or right within a specified timeframe. Each round is dynamic, spontaneous, and influenced by the organic rhythms of the world, instead of standard RNG methods.
Rush Hour’s live recordings feature diverse locations such as Sydney, Swindon, Arizona, and Taipei, as well as landmarks like Patong Beach in Thailand and Abbey Road in London. From everyday crossroads to landmark locations, the entire world transforms into the game board. Crafted for mobile devices, Rush Hour is immediately comprehensible and genuinely engaging, providing a much-needed option to conventional casino formats. CCTV Game embodies 155.io’s fundamental philosophy: chaotic reality, straightforward games, and entertainment designed primarily for mobile.
The launch enhances 155.io’s attraction to the upcoming player generation, merging live-stream culture with instant betting features.
CCTV Game and Rush Hour can now be accessed via Hub88 or through direct integration.
Sam Jones, Founder & CEO of 155.io, commented: “Rush Hour is the first expression of our CCTV Game genre – think Big Brother blended with Polymarket. It’s completely live, and the world is now our studio. CCTV.game takes real-world chaos and turns it into something instantly playable and genuinely entertaining – this is content the next generation will queue up to try.”
He added: “Once you realise the entire world can be a live game feed, there are no boundaries. Live traffic content is just the start – from live wildlife to iconic sporting locations – we’re only just setting off on our journey of what real-world chaos entertainment can be.”

Chicken X & Friends
Million Games Launches Chicken X & Friends Today Following Strong ICE Reception
Million Games announces today the official launch of Chicken X & Friends, its real-time multiplayer crash game and the highly anticipated sequel to the award-nominated hit Chicken X.
Following a successful showcase at ICE 2026, where the game attracted strong interest and positive feedback from operators, partners, and industry professionals, Chicken X & Friends is now live and available to play.
Set across a chaotic multi-lane highway, Chicken X & Friends brings Jack Chicken back into action—this time in a shared, unlimited multiplayer environment. Unlike traditional crash games, gameplay never pauses. There are no waiting rounds or session start times. Players can jump in instantly and start playing at any moment.
Multiplayer Crash Gameplay, Evolved
Chicken X & Friends introduces unlimited, real-time multiplayer gameplay to the crash genre. Players are visible live on screen as they navigate traffic lanes, build multipliers, and decide when to cash out before the crash.
“This launch marks an important step for us,” said Thomas Nimstad, CEO of Million Games. “Chicken X & Friends builds on everything players loved about the original, but adds a social layer that fundamentally changes how crash games feel. Seeing other players make decisions in real time adds tension, strategy, and excitement—and that was very clear from the feedback we received at ICE.”
Player Choice, Progression, and Personalisation
Gameplay takes place across multiple traffic lanes, each offering a distinct risk-and-reward profile. Slower lanes provide steadier multiplier growth with lighter traffic, while faster lanes increase volatility with denser traffic and quicker multiplier escalation.
Players actively choose how and where to play—staying safe, pushing into danger, or switching lanes as conditions change. Safe zones offer a brief pause from traffic, but staying too long triggers an automatic cash-out, ensuring the pace remains high and the pressure stays on.
As players progress, they unlock levels and cosmetic customisations, including different skins and hats for Jack Chicken. These visual rewards allow players to stand out on the road and showcase their experience and performance without affecting gameplay balance.
Movement is fast and intuitive, controlled through taps or directional inputs, allowing players to react instantly as traffic patterns evolve.
Social, Competitive, and Always On
In public playgrounds, up to ten players appear live on screen. Each player is represented by Jack Chicken, while competitors appear as pigeons, creating instant visual awareness of who is still in the race. The leading player is highlighted with a unique “king” skin and a visible live multiplier.
Live leaderboards track top performances over the past hour and 24 hours, encouraging repeat play and competition. Players can also choose to play solo or create private rooms with friends, offering flexibility without compromising the core gameplay experience.
Now Live and Available
Chicken X & Friends is launching today and can be played now on the Million Games website. Operators and partners interested in integrating the game or learning more about distribution opportunities are encouraged to get in touch with the Million Games team.
“This game represents something genuinely new for our industry,” added Thomas Nimstad. “We’re pushing beyond familiar formats to create experiences that players haven’t seen before. Unlimited gameplay, visible multiplayer tension, and shared decision-making open up a new direction for crash games—and that’s exactly the kind of innovation we want Million Games to be known for.”
