* Battle Stars is out now on iOS and Android

* Battle Stars will also feature a Mumbai hero and a map based on the city
India’s top gaming YouTuber, Techno Gamerz aka Ujjwal Chaurasia, has worked closely with SuperGaming to develop his playable hero as well as the accompanying Techno Quest and has helped shape the gameplay with valuable and insightful feedback.
Aside from being India’s first hero shooter, Battle Stars is also the first content creator-driven game from an Indian studio. It marks the evolution of SuperGaming’s player-first perspective, involving the wider community and creators at a foundational level to make better games. You can check out the live film as well as Techno Gamerz’s own gameplay video to know more at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1NWBTPOwwM and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9JWtaDXeSw.
“There’s a massive opportunity in India for high-quality locally-developed games and Battle Stars capitalizes on this by playing to our strength of real-time multiplayer and integrating Techno Gamerz to entertain players in-game as well as being a playable hero,” the founder and Chief Executive Officer for SuperGaming, Roby John, said. “This allows him to showcase his personality and optimism to his fans in a unique and genuine way by being a crucial part of the game rather than just being a celebrity attached to it.”
Techno Gamerz features in Battle Stars as a playable character with his own unique weapon and iconic look. In addition to this, there’s the Techno Quest that’s available at launch. In it, the top creator himself drops personalized video messages for new missions and challenges.
“When SuperGaming showed me how I looked in-game I was super impressed,” said Chaurasia. “From subtle animations to my poses and even my mannerisms, there is a lot of care and attention to detail. Battle Stars’ Techno has the coolest parts of my attitude and personality. I hope you’ll enjoy playing as my character as much as I had fun working with SuperGaming to bring myself into the game.”
This isn’t all, if you top Battle Stars’ leaderboard you can meet Techno Gamerz in person and play Battle Stars with him and the SuperGaming team. Details of this event will be revealed soon so stay tuned to Battle Stars’ social media accounts and join the Discord to know more.
Battle Stars also has characters and maps based on India. The first being a Mumbai-inspired map complete with famous landmarks from the ‘City of Dreams’ that you can discover as you level up and win. There will be playable heroes based on Mumbai culture too like Patil, a policeman that lives to protect good and destroy evil. More playable heroes will be announced in the weeks to come.

PAGCOR BRAVES FLOODS TO HELP DISASTER-HIT COMMUNITIES
![](https://europeangaming.eu/portal/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/PAGCOR-BRAVES-FLOODS-TO-HELP-DISASTER-HIT-COMMUNITIES_20240726_120712_0000.png)
At the height of the downpour and massive flooding in Metro Manila and nearby provinces Wednesday, volunteer teams from the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) started bringing relief packs to affected communities.
Classes and government work were suspended on Wednesday and Thursday due to the widespread flooding, but PAGCOR volunteers went into action nevertheless.
“Even at the height of the flooding, and even before the President ordered government agencies to provide assistance to affected communities, PAGCOR employees already went to action to help those in need,” PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco said.
The PAGCOR chief said that since July 24, the agency has delivered more than 21,000 food and non-food relief packs for thousands of affected families.
“After the heavy rains subsided and it was safe to do so, we started bringing immediate aid to flooded communities in Caloocan City on Wednesday, followed by relief operations in Valenzuela, Malabon and Malolos, Bulacan the next day,” he said.
Mr. Tengco added that PAGCOR was scheduled to distribute relief goods to the cities of Marikina and Navotas on Friday as well as to affected towns in Bulacan like Calumpit and Bulakan which were all submerged in floodwater.
“It has been second nature to PAGCOR to immediately respond to the needs of affected communities in times of disasters,” he said.
“We understand that while it is part of our mandate to contribute to nation-building, it is also our moral obligation to help ease the plight of Filipinos in times when they need help the most,” the PAGCOR chief added.
He said PAGCOR’s relief operations are ongoing, with more employees volunteering to help repack relief goods Saturday and Sunday in the agency’s warehouse in Imus, Cavite to support distribution efforts in the coming days in Bataan, Batangas and Cavite.

Philippine President Marcos Announces Ban on POGOs

Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr has banned the establishment of any new Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs), also known as Internet Gaming Licensees (IGLs), with immediate effect. Existing POGO operators will have until the end of the year to wind down their operations.
The verdict, not entirely unexpected, was delivered during his State of the Nation Address in Manila on Monday following widespread pressure from a Senate investigation into illegal POGO-linked activities.
“Effective today, all POGOs are banned. I hereby instruct [gaming regulator] PAGCOR to wind down and cease the operations of POGOs by the end of the year,” Marcos said in his SONA.
The decision to shut down POGOs follows a series of recent raids on illegal POGO compounds in Pampanga and Tarlac amid allegations they had been engaging in human trafficking and scam activities.
A full ban, proposed by multiple senators, had also gained the support of the Department of Finance (DOF) and the National Economic and Development Authority.
