The Cities: Skylines series turns 11 years old today, so publishers Paradox have announced a bunch of stuff designed to celebrate that occasion. Look, look, they've said, here's a brand new expansion for the original Cities: Skylines and it'll launch next week. Oh and, they've also said, recently under-new-management sequel Cities: Skylines 2 is getting a couple of creator packs. |

Much of this movement towards Ion Storm-style thinking may be coincidental.

Little Chicken and XSEED shared the release date for Moonlight Peaks, the Bokujou Monogatari style cozy life sim in which the player's avatar is a vampire. It will show up on the Switch, Switch 2, PC, and Android devices on July 7, 2026. There's also a new trailer highlighting how gameplay works and the more supernatural elements of it all.
In Moonlight Peaks, we play vampires who move to an equally spooky town to start a quieter life. Fortunately, since this is an otherworldly sort of game, we won't stand out. Many of the other residents are also based on supernatural beings like mermaids and werewolves, and Death is even another major character. At our home, we'll grow unusual crops, and the gameplay footage shows a shipping bin that has teeth and eyes. To quickly move around town, we can turn into a bat. Magic can be used to control the watering cans to tend crops. And as for those other villagers like Death, we'll be able to get close to them and form relationships.
Here's the latest gameplay video on YouTube:
A number of new screenshots also appeared. As they point out, the game takes place after dark due to our avatar's vampiric nature. A few of the major NPCs, like an event host named Pumpkin Head and an animal vendor and witch named Luna, appear in this batch.
Moonlight Peaks will come to the Switch, Switch 2, PC, and Android devices, and the new release date is July 7, 2026.

Infold Games, developer behind otome game Love and Deepspace, announced on social media that the Japanese voice actor behind Zayne, also known as Rei, will leave the role. Takuya Sato's last day as the character will be June 7, 2026. The company claimed this is due to the contract with him ending, but didn't offer any additional explanation or details as to why one of the leads in the title is changing.
Takuya Sato's voice may sound familiar, as he's appeared as a voice actor in a number of anime series and games. In terms of games, we've heard him as Abel in Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, Alphen in Tales of Arise, and Machias in some Tales of Cold Steel titles. As far as anime series go, some of his most recent roles include Albert James Moriarty in Moriarty the Patriot and Sasaki in Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You.
In the statement, Infold Games noted there is no information on the next voice actor who will portray Zayne in Japanese yet. Further announcements will come at a later date. This only affects the Japanese version. No similar statements appeared on other social media like, say the English one.
This isn't the only major Infold Games and Paper Games change coming soon. The preceding game Mr. Love: Queen's Choice will end on March 27, 2026. While that otome game doesn't feature the same characters, it does also involve the same sorts of special powers and world.
Love and Deepspace is available for mobile Android and iOS devices, and the Zayne Japanese voice actor will change after June 7, 2026.

We are getting the first Nintendo Indie World showcase, which is essentially a Direct style presentation looking at Switch and Switch 2 games, on March 3, 2026. Nintendo confirmed it will be held at 6am PT/9am ET/3pm CET/11pm JST, with every region getting the showcase It also noted that only those "Nindies" will be discussed.
This is going to be a very short presentation, as Nintendo noted the stream will only spend about 15 minutes going over new and upcoming Switch and Switch 2 games. It did confirm both consoles will be covered. Placeholders are live in different regions on official YouTube channels. The North American and European showcases tend to be identical, but the Japanese ones tend to highlight some different titles and can be worth watching as well.
Here's the US placeholder for the March 3, 2026 Nintendo Indie World Showcase.
It's been quite a while since we've seen an Indie World presentation. The last one appeared in August 2025. There were three shadowdrop Switch and Switch 2 indie games that showed up that day. These were the compilation UFO 50, the logic puzzle game Is this Seat Taken, and the shop management simulation Tiny Bookshop. Of games that appeared that we could see updated, some are the upcoming Go-Go Town and Well Dweller.
The first Nintendo Indie World of 2026 will air at 6am PT/9am ET/3pm CET/11pm JST on March 3, 2026.

I played the hell out of Omega Force's Dragon Quest Builders 2. As in, I made additional towns on my private island and set up an underground subway system to connect different spaces. Loved the game. While a totally new thing in many ways, I can tell Omega Force's Pokemon Pokopia will trigger the same kind of response and expect it to consume hundreds of hours of my life. There's so much to this game, to the point that I don't think Nintendo's trailers and Treehouse: Live did it justice. Referring to Pokemon Pokopia as "Pokemon Minecraft" would do it a disservice. You need to experience it to understand what this spin-off offers.
Something terrible happened to what appears to be an entire region. All the humans are gone, and their cities are left in ruins. The land seems stripped bare, with vegetation dying and obvious landslides and collapsed areas. We awake as a Ditto who emerged from a Poke Ball and who missed their trainer so much that they replicate their image. We encounter a lone Pokemon named Professor Tangrowth. This marks an opportunity. Between the Ditto's human-like appearance and ability to replicate other character's special moves and the professor's intelligence, they work out a plan to restore habitats and locations to get Pokemon to reappear and revitalize things, perhaps learning what happened to the world and humans along the way.
While most people might jump to "Pokemon Minecraft" with Pokemon Pokopia, it's not entirely accurate, as it is much more comparable to both Dragon Quest Builders 1 and 2. This is primarily due to the narrative elements found throughout the game, but also the quest structure, interactions with characters, and building and furniture design elements. There is a clear point to Ditto's experiences and explorations. Though the trailers ahead of launch might not always have made it clear, there are quests. The Pokemon we meet talk to us. Certain NPCs along the lines of Professor Tangrowth carry weight.
Not only that, but there are other means of gathering information and lore that help shape our experiences in Pokemon Pokopia that help it feel richer than a game like Minecraft. One is through the Pokemon themselves. Each one of them will grow closer to us and become more comfortable with their environments via our interactions with them. We learn about who they are, receive gifts, and gain aid from their abilities by taking the time to find and interact with them. Exploring on our own is also helpful, as written texts appear in various places. Encountering these grants us opportunities to learn more about the world. Not to mention the ruins themselves that we see seem to tell their own stories via careful placement and Omega Force's construction choices.
The terraforming and building of elements of Pokemon Pokopia do feel more similar in nature to Minecraft, but again also feel like a natural evolution of the Dragon Quest Builders blueprints system. You can freeform build, with the ability to hold the ZL button to strafe back and forth or or move the D-pad to shift block positions. There are lots of block recipes and types and architectural parts to use for those more direct creations. However, there are also times when you'll get a kit that you plop down on a certain X by Y rectangular space or a set mission that involves bringing certain numbers of materials like lumber and stones and specific Pokemon to take part in the building process. (You do need to get takedown kits to move them.) While the hands-on approach is done immediately, these other assignments can involve quests that require you to find certain Pokemon and take place over actual real-world time before they're complete.
Another building and creation element involves the habitat system in Pokemon Pokopia, a brilliant feature that plays into the way we discover the characters in the wild in mainline games. Each creature has a type of environment they favor. By changing the environment via using Ditto's learned moves like Leafage (grow tall grass), Water Gun (hydrate dilapidated areas), Rototiller (till ground), or Rock Smash (destroy blocks or items), and placing certain crafted, found, or purchased items, you could lure critters back to the community. It's really easy to find new combinations, thanks to occasional hints in the world, tips you can purchase, quests, and simple experimentation, and satisfying since quite a few habitats can be attractive to multiple types of characters or might attract new folks under different conditions.
Decorating and customizing itself also feels fantastic, especially since the pacing is such that you unlock access to new areas (and their new Pokemon) regularly. There are so many things you can craft and buy, and finding new Pokemon, making them comfortable, and making regions you gained access to more attractive all means unlocking more recipes, quests, and shop areas. As your Trainer Rank goes up in turn, you'll be able to unlock gates that grant access to new areas, more potential Pokemon, and additional insights. In fact, I found so much to do in the first few hours that I needed to force myself to halt progress when rebuilding the initial Withered Wasteland area and helping its residents and advance the story so I could get through the game and properly cover it. Pokemon Pokopia invites you to be leisurely, creative, and neighborly.
There's only one quirk to Pokemon Pokopia that left me frustrated, and it is that it can sometimes be difficult to find where certain characters are once you start increasing the size of the population. The plus side is, if someone is needed for an immediate building project or questline, I found they tend to be right where they are supposed to be or attempting to even approach you. Also, since areas are segmented off, you don't need to do massive backtracking to find someone for a quest or blueprint. But if it is one not tied to something about to happen, it might be a bit challenging to work out where they went. In a way it's nice, as they'll actually interact with other Pokemon in different regions or basically go visit areas you worked on nearby. But if you want to, say, move Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee into a house together and one hasn't visited their habitat the whole gameplay session, it's a little annoying.
But aside from that, performance in Pokemon Pokopia is perfect. It's very visually detailed, and you can see for quite a distance to scope out points of interest like shining buried relics. I didn't notice major slowdowns even after my "towns" started to fill up. We even get access to bag size and storage bin upgrades rather quickly, so I didn't run into issues with being over-encumbered. It's stable, it's solid, and it makes me want to fill up every dilapidated space with both natural biomes and more urban living spaces.
Pokemon Pokopia invites us to discover, explore, rebuild, and reconnect, rewarding us for every action along the way. There are so many Pokemon to welcome home. We discover so many insights into their lives and what's going on. It's so easy to spend hours building things up so they're more comfortable for us and our new friends. Pokemon Pokopia is a lovely spin-off and one of the best games on the Switch 2.
Pokemon Pokopia will come to the Switch 2 on March 5, 2026.

One of Phasmophobia's most beloved maps is soon receiving a drastic rework focused on improving the overall quality and playability of the location. The next map rework is 6 Tanglewood Drive, and you'll want to jump in as soon as possible to explore these exciting changes.
The devs are steadily working their way through updating all of the house maps the ghost hunting game has to offer. So far, we've seen refreshes for Bleasdale Farmhouse and Grafton Farmhouse, making 6 Tanglewood Drive the third location to undergo this process. If you want to be ready to start ghost hunting and the new and improved home as soon as it's available, here's the exact time and date when the Phasmophobia 6 Tanglewood Drive rework update will be released.
Table of contents
Phasmophobia 6 Tanglewood Drive rework update release date and time
The 6 Tanglewood Drive map rework officially launches on March 3. A release time for this update hasn't been revealed so far, and likely won't be since most previous updates didn't have a launch time announced. Most past updates have been released at the exact same time, though, so there's a solid chance this one will, too, which is 7am CT/1pm UTC.
We've set our countdown to the expected launch time and translated it across major time zones so you can check exactly when it will be live in your area. If the devs do announce a different time, or if any delays occur, we'll update all relevant details here.
Phasmophobia 6 Tanglewood Drive rework update features
The 6 Tanglewood Drive update is focused on giving this house map an overall refresh and upgrade to help it better align with the devs' vision for the full 1.0 launch of the game, previously known as the Horror 2.0 update. The team told Destructoid that "the revised map is designed to increase the quality, interactivity, and replayability of the well-loved location."
If you previously witnessed the reworks for Bleasdale Farmhouse and Grafton Farmhouse, you have a solid idea of what to expect with this one. This redesign will be less intense, though, and retain more of the overall shape and layout players have come to know and love.
The only spot that's going to look dramatically different is the kitchen, which no longer has the looping potential it did before. Otherwise, though, most of the house has simply been spruced up a bit.
The reworked 6 Tanglewood Drive map will feature all kinds of new interactions on the map. These will likely be similar to some of the oddities you can find around other updated locations, like the Spider at Bleasdale Farmhouse or the whipped cream dispensers scattered all around Nell's Diner.
There's also some kind of "new surprise" waiting to be uncovered in the basement on the updated map. No details or teasers as to what this might be have been revealed, although there is a new train set featured in some of the key art, so it could be referencing this. It's also possible it's something else entirely, though, so we'll have to wait until March 3 to learn what it is.
Seeing such an iconic and beloved location undergo a drastic rework might be intimidating, but the devs told Destructoid they recognize that the location is a "fan favorite" and are simply hoping to "raise the map to the same level as the newer locations, and make Phasmophobia the game [they've] always wanted it to be."
The Tanglewood update was originally meant to release alongside the player character update, but they've been separated due to how big each update is, according to the update reveal blog. It's still scheduled for release this year, though.
It's a big year for the ghost hunting game, and this update is only the first of many slated to be released as the year progresses, according to the 2026 Phasmophobia roadmap. The next map rework slated for launch is 13 Willow Street, releasing sometime before the end of the year. While you wait for more fresh content to arrive, consider diving into some of the most recent additions, like learning how to identify a Gallu, Dayan, and Obambo.

Some BitLife challenges ask you to engage with extremely rare events that are oftentimes quite tough to find. One such goal is to survive a shipwreck, which is both an uncommon and potentially deadly event.
Navigating through a shipwreck is an essential quest for the Titanic challenge and a few other feats. It's also just a general goal you might have if you happen to find yourself in one of these dangerous encounters, so here's how to survive a shipwreck in BitLife.
How to get into a shipwreck in BitLife
Shipwrecks are completely random in BitLife, but can happen anytime you're out at sea. There are two different methods you can use for sailing out on the open waters:
Regardless of the option you choose, you'll likely need to head out to sea many times before you encounter a shipwreck. Luck plays a large role in how easy or tough it is to check this goal off, as you may get in a wreck on the first try, or 20 tries in, or even more than this. Keep at it as often as you can, though, and you'll eventually find yourself in a perilous shipwreck situation.
For this goal, I've found that buying and using your own boat works best, as this allows you to avoid ship maintenance, which then increases your chances of something going wrong. It's also a lot cheaper, as you can buy a fairly inexpensive boat, then take it out as often as you like with no additional fees, whereas taking cruises costs quite a lot.
How do you survive a shipwreck in BitLife?
To survive a shipwreck, choose whichever option seems most likely to guarantee your safety. Every shipwreck pop-up is unique, so it's tough to know exactly what you'll encounter. Some of them do generally have similar choices, though, so there are a few options that are safer bets than others.
Generally, the best option you can choose to survive a shipwreck is Abandon Ship. In my experience, this has the best odds of survival. You might be tempted to select Call the Coast Guard instead, but this has never worked when I've tried it, resulting in my character always dying and not living through the shipwreck.
You should never select any option that mentions going down with the ship, as this will always lead to death. Attempting to get your ship back to shore also usually won't work out the way you want, as you won't survive a shipwreck if the ship makes it back in one piece, and if you fail, you'll likely die while trying.
Surviving a shipwreck is one of the toughest parts of the Titanic challenge, so if you're already working on this goal, you might consider checking out the other tasks you need to get done for that trial, too, as you're already done with one. Another tough goal featured in it asks you to learn how to swim.

Bizzare Lineage Fighting Style and Sub Ability FAQ
What is the difference between fighting styles and sub abilities in Bizzare Lineage? Sub abilities modify your dash visuals and give you a passive along with 3 active abilities. Fighting styles also give you 3 active abilities and change your M1s and M2s via their corresponding weapons. You can combine them and use both one fighting style and one sub ability. What are all the sub ability passives in Bizzare Lineage? Vampire: All of your moves heal you and you gain a red meter that, when full, will regenerate your HP. Can you use stands alongside fighting styles and sub abilities in Bizzare Lineage? Yes, but you can only use one fighting style and one sub ability at a time. What is the best fighting style and sub ability in Bizzare Lineage? Karate has the best combo potential in terms of fighting styles while The Ripple offers the greatest damage and stun potential in terms of sub abilities. How to find Night Vampires for The Ripple quest in Bizzare Lineage? There are a few locations to farm Night Vampires and note that they spawn at night. One location is to go to Bus Stop 1 and head toward the Rengatei coffee shop building and go left when you reach the sunflower where you can find Night Vampires behind the trees. Next, go to the George NPC near Bus Station 11 (Camp near Kira raid). Lastly, Night Vampires can be spawned by the PVE quest board but it takes a while.

There are plenty of unique skills you can master in BitLife, but many of them are unlocked in ways you might not expect. One of the tougher abilities you may need to learn is how to swim.
Learning how to swim is essential for a few different challenges and trials you may encounter while playing, so it's not a skill you want to miss out on. If you're unsure how to master this ability, here's how to learn to swim in BitLife.
How do you learn to swim in BitLife?
You can learn to swim in BitLife by joining the Diving Team. This club is the only way to obtain this skill, so if you miss out on it, you're out of luck. The Diving Team is only available while you're in school, so you must learn to swim fairly early on in your life or suffer the consequences later on.
To join the team, select the School button in the bottom left corner, navigate to the Activities tab, and select the Diving Team. Apply to join, and as soon as you're accepted, you'll officially know how to swim. No extra work or additional steps are needed; all you have to do is join the club.
If your athleticism is low when applying, there's a chance you may not be accepted into the team on this first try. You need both decent health and athleticism to get in, so if either of these stats needs to be improved, you'll have to put in the work first.
There are many ways to build these stats, but generally, the most efficient method is selecting healthy options from under the Mind & Body section, like going on a diet, visiting the gym, going on walks, performing meditation, and practicing martial arts. Check in with the doctor as needed, too, and otherwise do your best to maintain a low stress and healthy lifestyle to keep your stats high.
Athleticism and health both take a while to improve, so if your stats aren't great, it might take a few years of healthy habits and aging up to get them where they need to be for the Diving Team to accept you. Because of this, it's a good idea to prioritize these stats as early on as you can in life.
If you don't, you might not be able to get them to where they need to be before you complete school. Without the Diving Team, there's no other way to learn how to swim, so you're out of luck for that life and will have to try again in a whole new one to make it happen.
Learning how to swim is a crucial part of the Titanic challenge, so you must check off this goal if you wish to complete it. And if you're looking for some other tough trials to work through next, BitLife has plenty of other ones to offer, like getting a restraining order, completing the Valentine's challenge, buying a Lamborghini, and finishing the Gatsby challenge.

The Expedition 3 project is now live in ARC Raiders, and thus begins the next big grind if you want to upgrade your account over the course of the next two months.
Structurally, Expedition 3 is similar to the previous two. There are six different stages to complete, with four tasks at each level. At first, only the first stage will be available for you, along with its requirements.
To view the latter levels, you'll have to meet the requirements. This guide will provide you with info on every stage and the requirements to finish it.

All ARC Raiders Expedition 3 Project requirements
Just like the first Expeditions, the third has several stages or levels. The sixth stage is the Departure window. It has no extra tasks; complete the previous five stages, and you'll be ready for Departure.
Stage 1: Foundation
Stage 2: Core Systems
Stage 3: Framework
Stage 4: Outfitting
Stage 5: Load Stage
When will the Expedition 3 project window expire
Based on the available countdown, the Expedition 3 project window will expire on May 3. The opening window should be available about 4-5 days prior to May 3, but that has to be confirmed by Embark. The rewards for completing the third Expedition will be announced in the future (highly likely with the April update).

Many of BitLife's special weekly trials are themed around famous movies, shows, and other bits of pop culture. One such themed test you may encounter is the Titanic challenge, which also happens to be one of the toughest.
In this trial, you essentially play as Rose, the female lead in the film, so you need to check off a series of goals based on her actions. Almost every step of this journey is quite tricky, so here's how to complete the Titanic challenge in BitLife.
Table of contents
BitLife Titanic challenge walkthrough
There are six key goals to complete throughout the Titanic challenge, and most of them are rather tricky. Here are all of the tasks you need to finish and a breakdown of how to tackle each one.
Be a female named Rose in BitLife
The only easy goal in this trial is to start off life as a female named Rose. After this, things get pretty tough. For this mission, start a new life and create a custom character named Rose to progress.
Learn to swim in BitLife
Your next goal is to learn how to swim to prepare you for the ship ride ahead. The only way I've found that you can check off this goal is by participating in the Diving Team in school. First, continue aging up until you're in middle school. Then, select the School button in the bottom left corner, choose the Activities tab, and select the Diving Team.
As soon as you join, the learn to swim goal will be checked off. Learning to swim isn't too hard once you know where to look, but since it's locked behind a school club, it's easy to miss and impossible to complete if you wait too long, as you must be fairly young and still attending school to access it.
Cheat on a fiancé in BitLife
The next mission is to cheat on a fiancé. First, you'll have to find someone you can get engaged to, as you need a fiancé to cheat on for this step. The easiest way to start a new romantic relationship is by selecting the Activities page in the bottom right corner and choosing the Love tab. Work on building a relationship over a few years until you eventually decide to get engaged.
Make sure you don't actually go through with getting married, as you need a fiancé, not a spouse, for this step. Once you have one, seek out another romantic interest. There are many ways to cheat, but generally the easiest method is selecting the Activities page, choosing the Love tab, and selecting the Hook Up option.
Become a nude art model in BitLife
Next, you need to become a nude art model. Finding and applying for this position is completely down to luck, as you simply need to check the list of available jobs until there's an open position. It might be there right away, or take several years or refreshes to populate.
To find this job, select the Occupation page in the bottom left corner, choose the Jobs tab, and browse the available listings to find the nude art model position. If you don't see the nude art model occupation, you'll need to refresh the list of available options. The first way to do so is simply aging up, as new jobs appear each year. If you don't want to age up just yet, you can also close and reopen the app to get a new selection.
Survive a shipwreck in BitLife
You've made it to the final two tasks in the Titanic challenge, but unfortunately, they're also the hardest ones. For this quest, you need to survive a shipwreck. Navigate to the Activities tab in the bottom-right corner, select the Vacation tab, and choose the Cruise option. Select any type of cruise and cabin you want, then set off on your journey.
Getting a shipwreck is completely random, so you just need to keep going on cruises over the years until you get a pop-up letting you know one has happened. You may encounter a shipwreck on the first try, or it might instead take many trips to check this goal off.
If you're having trouble with this goal using the Cruise method, you can also try acquiring your boating license and getting your own boat to sail around in. To do so, select the Activities tab, choose the Licenses page, and select the Boating License option. Pass your test, or keep trying until you do.
Once you've got a Boating License, choose the Assets option near the bottom left corner, select the Go Shopping... option, and select any available Boat Shop. Purchase a boat, preferably one that's not super fancy and high quality, as a worse boat increases your odds of encountering a shipwreck. Then, click on your new boat under the Assets page and select the Ride option.
Repeat this option until you eventually end up in a shipwreck. Avoid ship maintenance to increase the odds of something going wrong. It's still random, though, so just keep at it until a shipwreck eventually happens. The exact pop-up you get when one finally does happen may vary, but usually, you'll have a few choices. Ensure you choose an option that guarantees your own survival, like Abandon Ship, as you must survive the wreck to continue.
Throw away a 5ct+ diamond in BitLife
Your final mission is to throw away a 5ct+ diamond. First, you'll need to get your hands on one, which is a particularly tricky task. Select the Assets page, choose the Go Shopping... option, and view the listings under any shop under the Jewelers tab. The available items are random, so you might find what you need right away, or need to refresh by closing and reopening the app or aging up.
Keep checking back until you eventually spot any type of jewelry item that is both diamond and 5ct+. Once you find one, buy it, locate it under the Assets page, and select the Discard option to get rid of it, thus completing the full Titanic challenge.
If you're up for some more tricky tasks, there are plenty to choose from in BitLife. Next, you might work on the Crazy Ex challenge, buying a Lamborghini, the Valentine's challenge, and getting a restraining order.
