<h1 style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://bagogames.com/now-100000-xbox-one-sold-china/">There Are Now 100,000 Xbox One’s Sold in China</a></h1>
<p>As we’ve reported <a href="https://bagogames.com/top-5-stories-xbox-japan-happy/">to you here</a>, the Xbox brand’s notable struggles in the Japanese market have thrown quite the wrench in its ambitions for landing a virtual foothold in Far East Asia. Luckily, it looks like there’s a home for it beyond the Land of the Rising Sun.</p>
<p>The Xbox One has reportedly already moved 100,000 units according to Chinese new sites such as 17173 and Sina News, who have mutually come to speculate that China might very well be the “savior” of the Xbox One name on the Asian continent. The American console also marks the first Chinese <a href="https://bagogames.com/now-100000-xbox-one-sold-china/">game </a> console launch in 14 years since the days of the original Xbox, Gamecube, and Playstation 2.</p>
<p>The console’s failure <a href="https://bagogames.com/xbox-one-terrible-start-japan/">to hit both Japanese</a> and Korean audiences has been well documented to say the least, but for the Zang and Shanghai Media Group, the mommy and daddy of Microsoft’s China partner, BesTV, the company boldly aims to move at least a million by this time next year.</p>

<p>Glory may be of no use to the dead, but your friendly neighborhood expansion pack might to the living.</p>
<p><em>Shadow of Revan</em>, the next expansion to grace Bioware’s <em>Star Wars: The Old Republic</em>, marks the return of the titular nemesis to the MMORPG. The new DLC focuses on Darth Revan’s efforts to destroy the Galactic Republic with his army of Revanites long following his previous attempts to overthrow the Jedi with the Star Forge and Malak by his side. The DLC will raise the level cap to 60 and includes five new levels of story missions, high-level multiplayer Flashpoints and Operations, and new worlds to <a href="https://bagogames.com/darth-revan-casts-shadow-old-republic-new-dlc/">explore </a>.</p>
<p>Players will step back into the boots of the Jedi’s Prodigal Knight <strong>Dec. 9th</strong> for $19.99, but adepts pre-ordering the ways of the Force will have access to the expansion weeks early this <strong>Nov. 2nd</strong> in addition to receiving “Grand Statue of Revan” to display in their stongholds, and free access to the previously released <em>Rise of the Hutt Carte</em>l expansion.</p>

<p>After Irrational <a href="https://bagogames.com/former-irational-games-devs-create-flame-flood/">Games </a> was downsized earlier this year, former employees are now starting to reveal their first post-Bioshock projects. The group have named themselves the Molasses Flood and their first title is a survival game where players use a raft to traverse a bleak apocalyptic landscape. It’s called The Flame in the Flood and it features colorful graphics, an isometric view point and a soundtrack of country music by Chuck Ragan.</p>
<p>Molasses Flood said that the inspiration for the <a href="https://bagogames.com/former-irational-games-devs-create-flame-flood/">game </a> was Huckleberry Finn, Life on the Mississippi, Heart of Darkness, Mud, and Beasts of the Southern Wild. The studio wants to convert the adventure and melancholy of these works into a video game The Flame in the Flood is being funded via Kickstarter and has a target of raising $150,000 by November 6, As well as a copy of the game, backers can also earn an art book and a copy of the soundtrack depending on how much they pledge.</p>
