Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, March 30, 2026 12:36 PM  I know exactly who Kliff, the protagonist of Crimson Desert, is. During my romp through the vast expanse of Pywel, he was a distant tower enthusiast with a side interest in lonely locomotives. Aside from those things, he's rather bland. Though, the actor who played him has now outlined that throughout the game's regularly shifting development - which included a name change for its main character - he pushed Pearl Abyss to make the character more than just a stoic line-grumbler. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, March 30, 2026 12:01 PM  An ancient, work-in-progress version of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto IV has reportedly been discovered on an Xbox 360 development kit at a car boot sale, somewhere up Edinburgh way. Dating back to November 2007, about six months before the open world game's launch, it's said to contain a cut model for a Liberty City river ferry that once featured in a trailer. While we only have the buyer's word that the development hardware - "a phat white Xbox 360 XDK with a Rockstar North label on it" - is legit, former Rockstar technical director Obbe Vermeij has, at least, verified that GTA 4 was once supposed to have a ferry, though he doesn't have much to share about the presence of materials for what appears to be a canned GTA 4 zombie minigame.

It retained enough of the fundamentals - solid chassis, snappy low-profile switches, reliable wireless connectivity and so on - to make it feel like a strong value proposition at the time, although with current sales, has been made an even better one. I'm currently seeing it for its best prices in a while on both sides of the Atlantic - that's £95 on Amazon UK and $70 on the Amazon USA - the latter is part of the final couple of days of the Amazon Spring Sale. |

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, March 30, 2026 10:40 AM  Much of the time, using social media is like fondling a wasp's nest, but sometimes, sometimes, social media is Nice. For example, Firaxis narrative director Cat Manning recently started a Bluesky thread "of small practical pieces of advice developers just starting out or unfamiliar with a genre might not know". The replies and quote-posts include thoughts from people with credits on fairly big games. Inevitably, they run the gamut of approachability. At one end of the spectrum, you have Apex Legends engineer Jay Stevens jauntily observing that "a navmesh is a very handy thing to have, even in a multiplayer game without NPCs", which I maybe half-understand, and sounds like it could be the opening to a Broadway song of some kind. More digestibly, you have former Marvel's Avengers and current Legacy of Orsinium developer Keano Raubun commenting that the "biggest bang for buck in (open world RPG) game writing will always be NPCs having funny ambient conversations amongst themselves". |

Good Smile Company announced the six finalists for the Snow Miku 2027 Nendoroid Outfit Design Poll, and voting is now open at the official site to determine which one will be turned into the Hatsune Miku figure for next year. People have until April 9, 2026 to vote. The winner will be revealed in June 2026. This follows the cold_air Patisserie of Happiness winning design, which led to the design of the Nendoroid and other figures for 2026.
The theme for the 2027 Snow Miku Nendoroid design is Secret Metamorphosis, which seems to have led to the artists submitting quite a few Hatsune Miku designs inspired by magical girl anime and manga series. In each case, the person contributed a new look for the Vocaloid and her rabbit mascot Yukine. The official Piapro releases also included full concept art design documents showing the character from different angles and any accessories that appear. We can only vote for one design for the whole period, and we can't change our vote.
Here are the six possible designs available this year:
Voting closes for the Snow Miku 2027 Nendoroid Outfit Design Poll on April 9, 2026, and we'll see Hatsune Miku figures and merchandise based on the Secret Metamorphosis winner in 2027. The 2026 version of the character's Nendoroid sold out at multiple storefronts.

Good Smile Company announced a second Chainsaw Man Nendoroid of Reze, though this time it is a Basic variant of her in her casual outfit from the movie. At the moment, it's only showing up on the English version of the company's Japanese site. However, we should eventually see it on the Amazon storefront and English site as well. It will cost ￥3,900 (~$24) and launch in August 2026.
As this is a Basic Nendoroid, you're much more limited with it than other ones. However, that does account for the lower price point. You get Reze wearing a long-sleeve shirt with a bell on the front, a pair of jeans, black and white sneakers, and a brown backpack. She holds a daisy in her right hand. She comes with one face plate, which involves her smiling and blushing. If you own other Nendoroids, you can swap the hands, body, face plate, and hair with those other parts.
Here's how it looks:
This is the second Reze Nendoroid Good Smile Company made, as the first Chainsaw Man figure of her appeared when the movie started to launch in theaters. That included quite a few spoilers with its additional parts and accessories. So much so that initially the company censored them and kept some of the extra parts a secret until the film appeared. That's expected to appear in Japan in June 2026 and worldwide later this year. It will be fully compatible with all the parts that come with this Casual Outfit Basic Nendoroid, and vice versa.
The Chainsaw Man Reze Casual Outfit Basic Nendoroid will launch in Japan in August 2026, and there's no worldwide release window for the figure yet. Pre-orders close on May 6, 2026. The anime series is streaming on Crunchyroll. Viz Media handles the manga, which ended in March 2026.

Com2Us shared first gameplay trailers of some of the playable characters in Gachiakuta: The Game, and it means we get to see our first looks at members of Rudo and Team Akuta. The examples highlight what to expect from him, Enjin, Riyo Reaper, and Zanka. It also means we get to see how each of their Vital Instruments works in some small-scale fights. If you watched the anime on Crunchyroll, some of the moves might look familiar.
First, here's how Rudo will work in Gachiakuta: The Game. He's the hero we follow as he drops from The Sphere to the Ground after he's falsely accused of killing his father figure. He wears and uses Watchman Series Gloves, combined with used items he finds, to fight.
Here's the footage of him from YouTube.
Enjin is the head of Team Akuta and wielder of the Umbreaker umbrella Vital Instrument. He's one of the first people Rudo meets when he's chucked into the Abyss at the start of the game.
You can see him below:
Riyo uses a pair of scissors as a Vital Instrument known as The Ripper. We see how she sort of uses it as a slashing weapon in the footage. However, in-series she's also known to sometimes use a gun, and we don't see that happen here.
Here's the Riyo trailer:
Finally, Zanka uses a staff called Lovely Assistaff to fight in his Gachiakuta gameplay trailer. This looks like it will deliver blunt hits to foes. However, he's able to move quite quickly with some attacks.
Here's the final of the first four trailers.
Gachiakuta: The Game is in development for the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC. The first season of the anime is streaming on Crunchyroll, with season 2 in development. The manga is handled by Kodansha worldwide.

Square Enix announced the release dates for the next two Dissidia Duellum Final Fantasy Ghosts, and both the characters Onion Knight from FFIII and Iroha from FFXI will debut on March 31, 2026. Both of them will appear after the maintenance period that day, as will a new UR Ability Banner that includes new exclusive Abilities for each fighter. That downtime is expected to last for four hours. Both appeared in previous entries, though Iroha only showed up in Opera Omnia.
Onion Knight is going to be an Agile kind of attacker in Dissidia Duellum Final Fantasy, just like Lightning. While the character attacks with a sword, there are also some spell Abilities in his repertoire. Blade Torrent, Guiding Swipe, Ninjutsu, and Spellbook will all be available. Both the UR Ninjutsu and Spellbook abilities will be part of the new banner. Jun Fukuyama, who voiced him in past Dissidia games and is also known as Bleach's Yumichika, Code Geass' Lelouch, and Persona 5's Joker.
Here's his trailer:
Iroha will also be an attacker in Dissidia Duellum Final Fantasy, though she'll be a Melee unit designed to work as a DPS such as Cloud. She'll use her polearm to attack, and her Abilities also reflect that. Some of the ones that we'll see at launch are Chuon, Fuga, Gachirin, and Hanadoki. Her two UR gacha abilities on the new banner are Fuga and Gachirin. Since she's never been voiced in a game before, Inori Minase will be playing the character. She may sound familiar, as she is Maya in Dragon Quest XI, Furina in Genshin Impact, Itsuki in The Quintessential Quintuplets, and Rem in Re:Zero.
Here's her trailer:
In case you missed any of the past introductions to Dissidia Duellum Final Fantasy characters, here are all the folks who appeared at launch ahead of Onion Knight and Iroha.
Dissidia Duellum Final Fantasy is available for mobile devices, and we'll see the playable versions of FFIII'sOnion Knight and FFXI'sIroha on March 31, 2026.

Square Enix took to its Japanese social media account to celebrate the 24th anniversary of the Kingdom Hearts series with an illustration of a character from series creator, director, and artist Tetsuya Nomura, and it included a reference to the 25th anniversary. The image featured a note on it that mentioned the team is working toward that celebration. There were no other announcements shared in honor of the occasion.
It's difficult to tell who the Kingdom Hearts character is in this new piece of Tetsuya Nomura art, but it's possible it could be Yozora, who was referenced in the third game and its Re Mind DLC. The person has short grey hair and is wearing a black coat with a hood. It is also possible it is Riku or Xehanort. They are facing away from the viewer and holding a translucent umbrella. There are blue hydrangeas behind the character. In the bottom left corner is the message of thanks and note about the team working to prepare for March 28, 2027.
Here's the full piece of art that appeared online.
It isn't uncommon for Tetsuya Nomura to share Kingdom Hearts character art on special occasions. One of the last times it happened was on Halloween 2025. He drew the Halloween Town versions of Sora, Donald, and Goofy.
The next game in the series will likely be Kingdom Hearts 4. That will pick up where the last left off and feature Sora in Quadratum. We already saw some clips of it, with Strelitzia appearing as a notable character and playable Mickey Mouse segments shown. There's no release window for it yet. Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link was supposed to show up in the meantime, but that ended up canceled in May 2025.
Kingdom Hearts 3 is available on the Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC, the fourth game is in development, and we might see some special reveal for the 25th anniversary on March 28, 2027.

Otomate and Idea Factory otome visual novels can often follow the same sort of gameplay patterns and decisions, so it's always fun to see something a little different. Otome Daoshi: Fighting for Love, Aksys' latest pick-up, is a fantastic example. It is a new game from all three and, while it is still a traditional visual novel, it leans into the martial arts themes by also incorporating some anime and manga design directions. However, in the process we lose some of the standard otome visual novel niceties.
As Otome Daoshi begins, it feels a little like we're being set up for something that might feel a bit like an otome game with a Dragon Ball style 21st World Martial Arts Tournament setting. Shunlin is a martial artist who is also training to be a daoshi. However, while she's preparing to attend the Tournament of Valor with her grandfather and older brother figure (and possible love interest) Haoran, disaster strikes. Undead jiangshi, the exact types of entities daoshi take to the Forest of Chiming Souls to keep the dead from being abused or harming the innocent, appear and attack. Shunlin and other individuals there to attend or compete in the event, like love interests Longli, Shaowu, and Yuhang, get caught up in investigating and saving the day, while falling in love along the way.
In terms of execution, Otome Daoshi plays like a standard visual novel. You make choices and read along with the story. Rather than your degree of affection determining which route you end up on, you flat out select whose story you pursue after getting to a certain point. You can't end up with a bad ending, but one of the two ends for each bachelor is a "true" one. While five characters are available, only Haoran, Shaowu, and Yuhang are available on the first run. Longli only unlocks after you finish all three of their stories, and you then must finish his for the secret character whose identity is incredibly obvious. All the routes are pretty short, which means it ends up being about two to four hours to finish a storyline depending on how quickly you read or much you enjoy a path.
Here's the downside though It isn't so much that these are shorter runs. It's that they aren't as well developed as other otome games Aksys picked up. Like Mistonia's Hope is one of its other recent releases that blends love stories with subterfuge and revenge. In most of the routes, all elements are well developed and sometimes there's an unexpected twist. I felt like I saw every plot point coming in Otome Daoshi, and the nature of the narrative means that each character's story feels rushed with some unresolved elements. Shunlin and some of the guys fall in love way too fast for the sake of the story, with only ones like Haoran and Yuhang feeling like that element makes more sense because both knew her before the events of the game. We might see some of the mystery elements wrap up too quickly or not handled as well in some paths. It's a bit frustrating.
Which is especially frustrating since the presentation is really pretty! The character designs are fantastic. The backgrounds look good. There are story elements where manga koma are used to show what's going on. That's especially great, since it suits the idea of the martial arts masters and attacks against enemies so well.
Especially since there are other downsides to Otome Daoshi come up tied to its presentation and gameplay. Some of these sorts of games end up with extra touches that make things feel a little more finished or alive. For example, the character portraits may have some live 2D elements or animations. That doesn't happen here. We only see static portraits. We don't get a glossary section, which seems odd given the number of important terms like "daoshi" or "jiangshi." There's also no option for a voiced heroine. That's something that isn't always as common, so it's a little less surprising to see it's gone. But when combined with the lack of other features, it adds to the feeling of this release not being at the same level as others from the company.
What is disappointing is the lack of an audio or visual indicator that you made a "right" choice when going through a route. See, a common element in Otomate and Idea Factory otome games is some acknowledgement in-game when a response comes up that lets you know if you made the choice that sends you toward the best ending by playing a small animation or having a sound effect play. (Idea Factory, in particular, has referred to it as the Love Catch System for years, and it's even included as a setting you can toggle in the options of some titles.) Oddly enough, it isn't here! You can go into the menu to check the Affection ranking after getting to a certain point in the story. (That feature is unselectable until you do.) And we are setting ourselves on a route by choosing a person after getting through a point in the introductory common route. But I'm always disappointed when it isn't around.
While Otome Daoshi: Fighting for Love's story isn't as exciting as I expected a martial arts otome game to be, there are some romantic routes here. Playing it safe isn't a bad thing, though it does mean it might feel a little more predictable than other titles in the genre. I wish it featured some quality of life titles from other Otomate titles. However, the way it does go with the theme and include the same sort of ambiance and elements as martial arts anime and manga is a nice touch.
Otome Daoshi: Fighting for Love is available for the Switch.

It's difficult to overestimate the importance of a game like Grand Theft Auto 6 when it comes to the games industry.
The latest sales numbers for Grand Theft Auto V indicate that the most recent GTA game sold over 225 million copies since launching in 2013, so the anticipation for its sequel is unmeasurable. With that hype, and many years of development, though, comes a hefty cost when it comes to creating it.
It's been no secret that GTA 6 has cost quite a bit of money to develop over the years, with experts estimating at least $2 billion invested already. But new numbers may suggest it's higher than originally thought. This past weekend, a Redditor shared their findings after perusing public documents detailing Rockstar Games' financials to do some math into just how much GTA 6 has cost to develop since it entered full production in 2019 after Red Dead Redemption 2 launched. The number is shocking.
On personnel wages and salaries alone, since 2019, Rockstar has spent over $2.1 billion, and that's just from Rockstar North, the main studio behind the games that's supported by other Rockstar studios around the world. That's also without factoring in other factors like marketing, making the technology behind the game, lawyer fees, and a variety of other expenses that go into making a game of this massive scale.
With all of these different facets in mind, it wouldn't be all that surprising for GTA 6 to end up costing well over $3 billion to make over the past seven-plus years. That would make it the most expensive entertainment product ever made, by a long shot, a record that it most likely already holds. For a stunning comparison, Star Wars: The Force Awakens is listed as the most expensive film ever made at around $447 million. GTA 6 utterly dwarfs that already.
Because of this, I truly wouldn't be surprised if GTA 6 ended up with a retail price at or approaching $100 like rumors have suggested in the past. But I also think that most gamers will be ready and willing to part with that much cash if it means another GTA game is in their consoles.
We may never know exactly how much GTA 6 cost to become a reality. But I don't think it's hyperbole to say that Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive will make its money back more than a few times over, either.
GTA 6 is scheduled to launch later this year on Nov. 19, so the game's marketing should be ramping up within the next few months. Buckle up.

Crimson Desert's 1.01.01 update has introduced five new mounts to collect, and this includes two new Boss variants in the Alpine Ibex and the Rock Tusk Warthog. Once you obtain these mounts, you can use them for traveling in Pywell.
This guide will help you find both boss mounts efficiently.
Table of contents
How to get the Icicle Edge Alpine Ibex mount in Crimson Desert
Before you can unlock this mount, complete Chapter 7 to get access to the Pailune region. Then, complete the Healing Pailune main quest in Chapter 8. Next, you'll need to finish the following Faction quests.
Go to the Longleaf Tribe section and start the Concern of the Tannery mission. Accept the bounty notice to begin The Sport Hunter quest. Reach the marked location as part of the bounty, and you'll come across Moren, the Mistwood Huntmaster. The battle has two stages; once done, you'll get the Icicle Edge Alpine Ibex horns.
Go to the Witch's Lair in Hernand and speak with Elowen to use the horns and craft the Sigil of Solidarity. This will unlock the mount for you to summon and use on your adventures.
How to get the Rock Tusk Warthog mount in Crimson Desert
Once you've accessed the Crimson Desert region, you have to go to the center of the ruins, which is located west of the Red River. Defeat all the enemies to start the Master of the Wetlands quest. You'll find the Ravok of the Savage Fangs boss enemy, and the battle lasts for two stages.
Complete the battle, and you'll get the Rock Tusk Warthog Molar. Take it to the Witch's Lair to get the Sigil of Solidarity, which allows you to summon the mount.

I have a confession to make. I can't stop playing as a Rook in Marathon. I'm sorry.
For the uninitiated, the Rook is basically Marathon's Scav class. You can't complete contracts as Rook, and their abilities are nothing special. But the special thing about it is that you will always spawn into a game that's been going on for 10 minutes already, meaning that you're likely to find all sorts of Runner Shell corpses filled with loot.
Sometimes, playing as Rook for a few rounds is a necessity. Since you don't need to take your own gear, you can go on several Rook runs to try and loot up and fill your vault with the gear you need to take on contracts or enhance your survival odds in PvP. But me? I do it for the thrill of the rooking.
Rook is different from Marathon's free Sponsored Kits, where you spawn in with bad gear and try to go from zero to hero. The Rook has its own upgrade path, including the ability to spawn in with claymore mines, a shotgun, a bigger backpack, and more.
Basically, it is the ultimate "rat" class. Or, as the image above suggests, a vulture.
Spawning into a match late has its benefits, as you can pick the bones of the battlefield clean, but it also means that whoever is still alive is likely fully geared up, and potentially in a group that is just dominating the lobby. Because of this, I will say, my success rate as a Rook is piss poor. Going up against fully geared players will almost always result in me getting utterly wrecked.
But I continue to chase those few rounds where I somehow come out on top, whether it be because of sitting behind my Claymore mines or third-partying like an absolute rodent, because it feels oh-so-good when things all come together, and I come away with new gear or a bunch of Credits to spend on gear.
While Rook doesn't have a healing drone or grappling hook like some of Marathon's other Runner Shells, its ability to "cloak" and blend in with other UESC bots so they won't attack you comes in handy quite often, especially when players are duking it out with some high-level bots. Using the cloak ability to sneak around the bots and find an advantageous position to stab some players in the back is a thrill that I find myself addicted to lately.
Even with all Rook upgrades unlocked, you're at a massive disadvantage against fully geared players. I think that's also part of the thrill, because the odds are stacked against you as a Rook, and winning to escape with basically free loot is a genuine adrenaline rush. That's why I like to sit in close quarters hallways with claymores galore.
I also keep running into other Rooks who feel the need to team up, like they are beholden to some sort of Rook code where you don't fight other ones. No. This is Marathon. Fight me, fellow coward, and to the victor go the spoils.
I've been cussed out by other Rooks more times than I can count. Rooks seem to use proximity chat more than other players, I've noticed. But I am not out there rooking to make friends. I want your loot so I can go lose it again on Outpost or Cryo Archive.
I don't know how or when I became this way. Maybe it's because I'm a solo player now with no teammates to queue up with, so the rookery agrees with me on a spiritual level like it never could have before. Whatever it is, I'm not sure if I hate or love what I am becoming.
I am Rook. I am rat.
Fear me.

Returning home can be daunting, especially when life outside of that bubble didn't go as expected. What can feel like a setback can offer a brand new perspective, and with it, a new passion. The quaint hometown in Hozy needs your help, for it has collected dust in your absence. It's up to you to wipe the old away, uncover the memories beneath, and create something new before moving on.
I'm the type of person who'd spend hours in character creation, and I'd do the same with decorating; where I spent copious amounts of time designing a Sim's house, to never set foot in the actual game. So, a cozy game purely about interior design (and the little things) should have been perfect for me.
Enter a flow state in Hozy by repairing, cleaning, and interior designing to your heart's content.
A warm embrace
First off, Hozy is absolutely gorgeous. Saturated colors, art style sitting between realism and anime, and a photo mode with five options, all combined onto the dreamlike setting of a single room floating in the sky. A beauty reminiscent of Hyouka and Wonder Egg Priority, Hozy combines its easy-on-the-eyes aesthetic with calming music that transports you into the client's world. The mood is set as you restore the floor and walls, letting your imagination run before the moving boxes come in.
Moving interior design into the clouds gives Hozy an abstract and surrealistic take on filling a home with memories. On the main menu, the places you will visit are covered in a white sheet at first. As you play, a new sheet gets lifted, like removing the cloth from furniture after a long vacation.
Hozy feels like returning home
There are nine unique locations, each as pretty as the last. There's a small challenge in every level, but it's a welcoming challenge that shouldn't feel too daunting. I initially thought you had to use every item to complete a level, but there's a handy little box you can place furniture, lighting, flowers, and more in by dropping said item into the cloud-like void surrounding the room. This offers some semblance of replayability (although limited), as you can choose exactly what you want to fill the room with.
Hozy has style and fulfils the needs of a gamer who wants to relax, clean, and get the cogs turning with decorating. Packed with intricate details that breathe life into an otherwise still picture, Hozy is a blank canvas, and you're the painter. Interactability is through the roof in this title, where music (outside of the lovely soundtrack) can be played, lighting turned on for extra ambience, or a gust of wind blows through an open window. Glitches are near non-existent, as any risk of overloading the screen with clobber is negated with the storage box. This also means you cannot lose track of anything.
Take your time
It took me five to six hours to complete Hozy. Your progress is saved continuously, and you can restart a level or move onto the next without feeling pressure to get it perfect the first time (like "perfect" even exists). Photo mode offers a way to take screenshots by finding the right angle—whether you want it zoomed in and stylized or zoomed out to appreciate your work from afar—you can take photos without the UI obscuring the screen. Photo mode is stylish and allows you to engage in photography as yet another calming addition to Hozy's design.
Utilizing Hozy's physics-based mechanics is effortless, as it's impossible to spill paint everywhere or paint two walls at once (meaning you can create accent walls if that's what you fancy). Prying wood, rolling carpets, replacing panels, rotating items, and wiping grime off windows and the floor is smooth, satisfying, and easy, though controller support would be a helpful addition on release. Strain and fatigue are possibilities on the mouse and keyboard if you decide not to separate Hozy into more sessions with intervals in between.
Exhaust your creativity
While Hozy wants to be limitless in its potential, there are blatant restrictions in its design. Each level follows the same formula: reparation and decoration. The floor is fixed (floorboards or carpet), and paint for the walls typically offers three colors. Every place comes with a catalogue of goods (large items, flowers, lighting, wall coverings, and miscellaneous). Sure, you can rearrange furniture or return to a level to add items you previously left out, but you will likely exhaust every option in your first playthrough. Levels such as the Music Hall have elevated platforms that restrict what you can put on them, as most items cannot fit, thus hindering your creativity.
There are subtle changes in how you repair, clean, and decorate per level, but I cannot find a reason to play Hozy a second time. Though it could dampen the experience, I would have preferred having each level force you into using all of the contents when unpacking.
A comfortable refuge
Its satisfying gameplay loop is reminiscent of Unpacking and Leaf it Alone, but it lacks the depth of Unpacking. While it does show a glimpse into the memories tied to a home by clicking on the speech bubble next to a handful of items per room, it is surface-level at best. Because it attempts to tackle sentimentality through its narrative, it lacks an emotional punch, for we all know that memories can make or break a home. Hozy eases you into the surface of a life by showing the start of a memory without ever traveling down the lane. This creates a sort of detached feeling, especially paired with the camera work that puts us on the outside looking in as a voyeuristic god-like figure nosying about other people's business.
Hozy doesn't dive deeper beyond its adorable surface, as its primary focus seems to be on perfecting the tidying and decorating sim. It's a polished and comforting game with no real emotional pull. Hozy is about "slowing down," taking in the little details and curating a place without the constraints of time, but there are creative limitations.
Achievements exist purely to track your progress. Nine levels, nine achievements. This weakens its replayability value further, though I do not believe Hozy is the type of game you should be playing in one session. I believe you will get more for your time and money if you treat Hozy as a bite-sized experience per level; to enter this dreamlike world of decorating when real life gets overwhelming, when you need a little break in quiet.
Hozy does its job as a cozy simulator, but it's nothing more than a comfort pick. Its beauty lies in its visuals and tiny details, where polished mechanics make it an easy title to break away with. Though satisfying, its questionable replayability due to a limited catalogue means you must slow down and enjoy experimentation, else you're at risk of finding this title tedious, as I did, by playing it in one go. Hozy had the potential to blend its relaxing and creative core with a narrative-driven underbelly, but sadly underdelivers on emotional impact.

The Propeller Spear is one of several uniques in Crimson Desert that can be a worthwhile addition to your arsenal. You can use the weapon as is, or you can use it to get the Kuku Propeller Spear (an upgraded version with better stats).
However, it all begins with finding the base version.
Table of contents
Propeller Spear location in Crimson Desert
The Propeller Spear is located in the Aeronautical Research Base. This POI can be found in the southeast of Delesyia, in one of the guard towers. To identify the correct guard tower, you need to reach the marked location on the image below.
The correct tower will have an active chimney. Once you've found the tower, you can make your way to finding the weapon.
How to find the Propeller Spear in Crimson Desert
Take the stairs of the tower, and you'll eventually reach a room packed with cannons and cannonballs. The weapon can be found on a weapons rack around a nearby pillar.
As a special ability, the Propeller Spear can generate a wind wave that moves in the forward direction and knocks back the targeted foe. You can use this ability after charging it up to five times, but there's a five-second cooldown.
Since the Propeller Spear has fixed durability, it will break if you use it as a main weapon. Hence, it's best to use it for making the Kuku Propeller Spear. The upgraded versions do more damage, can store more charges, and the cooldown is shorter. While you'll still need the blueprint and a few other materials, the upgrade is the best way to use the Propeller Spear.

The Ice King has quite a collection of quests for you to tackle in Fortnite Chapter Seven, season two. One of the trickier ones he gives you asks you to check out the monitoring reports at Frigid Fortress.
Completing all of the Ice King's missions is essential if you want to unlock a special bonus style for him, so although this task can be a tough one to work through, it's worth tackling for this reward. It's not too tough a quest to finish once you understand what it requires and where to look, so here's how to check the monitoring reports at Frigid Fortress in Fortnite.
Table of contents
Monitoring reports location in Fortnite
You can find the monitoring reports station at Frigid Fortress, a main POI located near the north middle section of the Chapter Seven, season two map. The exact spot you need to visit is the west end of the throne room, which is situated near the north end of this location, right behind the courtyard where you can usually find the Ice King.
There's only one station you can use for this quest, so you're specifically seeking a grey machine with a blue screen. The entire Frigid Fortress area is quite grey, so it blends in with the environment rather well. Once you're in the general vicinity of the right spot, this machine will be marked with a white diamond exclamation point icon, which makes pinpointing its precise location a lot easier.
Check the monitoring reports at Frigid Fortress in Fortnite
To finish the check the monitoring reports at Frigid Fortress quest, you just need to interact with the monitoring station once. This can be done by approaching the right machine at Frigid Fortress and selecting the button that appears next to the "Receive report" option once you're right by it. This button varies by platform, but is always displayed once you're close enough to trigger it.
Activating this option reveals three different reports you can listen to, including the [Voyager HQ] Report, the [Seven HQ] Report, and the [Elited Outpost] Report. Selecting any of these three options completes the check the monitoring reports at Frigid Fortress quest, getting you one step closer to claiming the Golden Exalted Ice King look.
You only have to listen to one of the three reports for the quest, but you can check out all three if you want to ensure you're up to date with all the latest main storyline details. Select the back option after hearing any of the reports to return to the main page and review the rest of them.
There are plenty of other key missions waiting to be tackled around the island. If you're not sure what to work on next, consider finding The Foundation's lost helmet and cape, collecting all Chaos Cubes, using the Jam Track Player, visiting all NPC locations, and getting The Foundation's Rift Rifle.

Phasmophobia's first seasonal event of 2026 is nearly here, with Cursed Hollow set to return for the second year in a row. Events like this one offer some exclusive freebies you won't want to miss out on, which means you'll need to know when it's starting.
Although this is a rerun of a past event, it does have some fresh rewards this time around. You can only get them by participating this year, so you'll want to get going as soon as possible. Here's when Phasmophobia's 2026 installment of the Cursed Hollow event will begin.
Table of contents
Phasmophobia Cursed Hollow event update release date and time
The 2026 run of the Cursed Hollow event is officially slated to arrive on March 31. A precise launch time for the start of the event hasn't been shared, and exact timings usually aren't revealed ahead of updates. Luckily, though, most past updates have gone live at the same time, which means we can likely expect to see this one debut at 7am CT/1pm UTC.
Our countdown is set to the expected debut time, so you can check back here leading up to launch to see how much time is left before the spooky spring hauntings begin. If a different launch time is shared or any unexpected delays are announced, we'll update all key details here. As long as everything goes as expected, though, here's when you can start hunting.
When does the Easter 2026 event end in Phasmophobia?
The 2026 installment of Cursed Hollow will run from March 31 to April 21. This means you have exactly three full weeks to work through it. It's a decent amount of time, but there's a lot to get done, so you'll want to ensure you start tackling it sooner rather than later.
Cursed Hollow Easter 2026 event features in Phasmophobia
Phasmophobia's March 31 Cursed Hollow update focuses on another run of this seasonal event. This one tasks players with finding and interacting with the mysterious Forest Spirit and its elusive Forest Minions. The Forest Spirit is a special, modified ghost model, and the Forest Minions are Jackalope-looking creatures. Both can only be found around the selected event maps, which change on a daily basis. All of the maps that are in rotation for the 2026 run are as follows.
This year, you can earn the special Pathfinder ID Card & Badge for completing event objectives. You need to work on contributing event points for both the community and personal goals to earn the static and animated forms of this prize. There's also an upgradable trophy for this event, so you can either earn the base this time around or work on getting it to the next level if you've previously participated.

As each round progresses in Fortnite, there's a chance you may encounter some special events. One of the many events that can unfold asks you to stabilize the rift anomaly. You're not given any additional details beyond this, so it's a tough one to work through.
Completing this event is a great way to get your hands on some powerful items, so although it can be a bit daunting to work through, the rewards are well worth the effort. Here's how to stabilize the rift anomaly in Fortnite.
Table of contents
Where to find a rift anomaly in Fortnite
Rift anomalies spawn randomly all across the Chapter Seven, season two map when the "Stabilize the anomaly" event occurs in Fortnite. This is one of many possible random events that can unfold, and rift anomalies can only be found when they're active. When this event begins, you'll see a pop-up in the middle of the screen. Then, the notification for it moves to the upper right, just underneath your map, where it stays until the event ends.
After this event has started, look for the small circular rift icon on your map. All nearby rift anomalies will be marked with this special icon as long as the event is active and the rift remains open. Whenever a player successfully stabilizes one, the icon will vanish.
Stabilize the anomaly in Fortnite
To successfully complete the stabilize the anomaly event, you need to take out all of the drones that appear next to a rift. Around two to three will be present at any given time, and more will slowly spawn in additional waves as you eliminate them. You'll generally need to defeat about 10 drones in total to fix the rift. These are the same type of drones you encounter when taking on the Dark Voyager Echo boss.
All stabilize the anomaly loot rewards in Fortnite
Upon stabilizing an anomaly, you'll be granted one randomized, special weapon that's not part of the main loot pool in Chapter Seven, season two. There are nine different weapons that may spawn at the rift point once you've fixed it, including:
All of the items that can drop from this event are exclusive to it, which means successfully stabilizing a rift anomaly is the only way to get your hands on them. Each one is quite a powerful weapon to have at your disposal, so although these rifts can be a bit tough to take on, the rewards make it worth the effort.
There's plenty more to get done around the island this season. If you're looking to secure some more powerful loot, consider tackling some other key tasks next, like taking on the Ice King, obtaining The Foundation's Rift Rifle, opening the Squibbly Shores Lighthouse Vault, and defeating Dread Punisher Squibbly.

Each Fortnite season comes with its own unique loot pool, which oftentimes hides many secret weapons that can be tricky to get your hands on. One of the rarest and most powerful ones in Chapter Seven, season two is The Foundation's Rift Rifle.
While most weapons and tools can be obtained as random loot from anywhere on the island, this isn't the case with this special item. To get this weapon in your inventory, you must unlock and complete a very specific challenge. If you're unsure how to make this happen, here's how to get The Foundation's Rift Rifle in Fortnite.
Table of contents
Where to find The Foundation's Rift Rifle in Fortnite
The Foundation's Rift Rifle can be obtained from the New Sanctuary POI, which is near the bottom right corner of the Chapter Seven, season two map. At this location, you can find and hire The Foundation NPC, who is the only character that can help you get your hands on it.
How to unlock the Rift Rifle in Fortnite
You can get the Rift Rifle by completing The Foundation's challenge, which asks you to eliminate three opponents. Initiating this process takes a bit of work, though, so here's a full breakdown of how to make it happen.
What does the Rift Rifle do in Fortnite?
The Foundation's Rift Rifle is a modified version of the regular DMR, which means it can be fired similarly to the classic version of this weapon, but also possesses some unique perks. Specifically, you can charge up your shots with this gun to spawn a rift wherever you shoot. It can be used to deal serious damage, too, although its firing rate is a bit slower than a regular DMR. This weapon is Exotic, though, so it makes up for this with increased damage output. Overall, it's one of the best weapons in the loot pool this season.
