     Hearthstone card reveal – meet Blackwater Behemoth

The Voyage to the Sunken City expansion is upon us, and that means it's time for another Hearthstone card reveal. The end of each in-game year is always an exciting time for fans of the card game, and this time is no exception as the Year of the Gryphon comes to an end. The latest expansion, Voyage to the Sunken City, takes players on a journey through the ancient city of Zin-Azshari. This underwater expedition is filled with sunken treasures, beautiful sights, and terrifying Colossal monsters to keep you on your toes.

In addition to a brand new expansion, there's also a new Hearthstone Core set to look forward to. In case you've been out of the tavern for some time, the Core set is a collection of new and returning cards which can be obtained entirely for free. The latest Core set contains 241 cards, so it's easy to see how rotating this set can drastically shake up the meta.

Our card reveal is none other than a Colossal card, which is one of the new keywords introduced in Voyage to the Sunken City. Colossal minions are so large that they introduce at least one additional minion to the board whenever they are played. This keyword even works when you summon the minion using a spell, meaning you don't need to play it from your hand to see the full effect.

     League of Legends patch 12.6 notes – Anima Squad skins, new Rune

The League of Legends updates are coming thick and fast. LoL patch 12.5 has hit the live server, introducing a wonderful selection of bee-inspired skins to the MOBA. Don't bee-lieve for one second, though, that's all we got. Riot has tweaked Master Yi and Seraphine with some solid changes, while several other LoL champs got some quality-of-life adjustments, too.

Now, though, it's time to look toward LoL patch 12.6. We're sticking with the animal theme this time around as the new Anima Squad skins have hit the PBE. If you've been out of the loop, a few champions - such as Vayne, Miss Fortune, and Jinx - are getting some punky skins themed around bats, bunnies, cats, and more. You can check out the in-game clips of these in action and their splash art in the skins section below.

We're still quite early into the patch cycle, but we're starting to see some champion changes. Keep checking in, though, as we'll keep this post regularly updated.

Like in previous art contests, contestants will need to use specific hashtags when posting their submissions to Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter, along with filling out a specific form.

Square Enix announced it will release a Kingdom Hearts carry-on bag in July 2022. Pre-orders for the Kingdom Hearts carry-on bag are available through the Japanese Square Enix e-Store. It will cost 18,480 yen ($154) and matches the Kingdom Hearts suitcases announced for the 20th anniversary of the series. [Thanks, Famitsu!]

Like the suitcases, the Kingdom Hearts carry-on bag features motifs associated with the series. It also features zippers in the form of the Kingdom Key. The bag has a secondary strap as well, which can be used to sling it over your shoulder. You can take a look at the bag below.

[gallery ids="921170,921171,921172" link="file"]

The item is featured on a special page of the Square Enix e-Store, which lists other 2oth anniversary goods and general Kingdom Hearts merchandise. This includes a Kingdom Hearts Kingdom Key ice tray, as well as a special mouse pad that features the Dive to the Heart illustration.

Square Enix has planned an event to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Kingdom Hearts series. It will be held in Tokyo, Japan on April 10, 2022. The event will feature a live Q&A segment with developers, an exhibit, and a mini-concert. While the event features a limited amount of guests, a recorded version will be made available online at a later date.

The themed carry-on bag will be released in July 2022.

Genshin Impact The Chasm Gameplay details Lumenstone Adjuvant Dark Mud

miHoYo has further detailed how exploration and gameplay will function in The Chasm, a new area that players can traverse in Genshin Impact Version 2.6. This includes a complete breakdown of the Lumenstone Adjuvant item that was detailed during the Genshin Impact Version 2.6 Special Program. Additionally, the post reveals some obstacles players will need to overcome in order to progress through The Chasm.

For example, Dark Mud can be found throughout the area. Players walking through Dark Mud will have their HP slowly drained, and their movement speed will be reduced. Certain monsters within the Dark Mud will also become more powerful. Additionally, Dark Mud drains the energy of the Lumenstone Adjuvant. However, players can rid areas of Dark Mud by destroying Oozing Consecrations with the Lumenstone Adjuvant. This can be done by using the Lumenstone Adjuvant's unique ability, Blooming Light.

Players can increase the range of Blooming Light, as well as the general visibility provided by the light, through upgrading it. This can be done by collecting Lumenspars and Lumenstone Ore. While exploring, players can recharge the Lumenstone Adjuvant through Lumenlamps and Lucklight Flies.

The Chasm will be more than just a new area to explore in Genshin Impact, as an Archon Quest is tied to the area. Players will be able to interact with Dainsleif through this Archon Quest and learn more about the secret of the twins.

Genshin Impact is available for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, and Android and iOS devices. It is in development for Nintendo Switch. The 2.6 update will launch on March 30, 2022.
