While the Dunk craze is surely reaching its saturation point—I was in Sydney earlier this week and it felt like 40% of kids were rocking Pandas—there's always room for innovation and amazing design work on the decades-old shoe. It just doesn't always have to come from Nike themselves.

     Dragonflight's crafting system is Etsy for World of Warcraft

Blizzard is going all in on World of Warcraft Dragonflight's crafting system, introducing an extensive system of tweaks and upgrades and letting crafters specialize to the point where they can potentially even develop their own loyal pool of customers in the MMO game. Crafting orders are at the core of this new system. Players who want to purchase something can issue a crafting order specifying everything from the item type to the reagents used through an interface Blizzard describes as intuitive and like an auction house menu. The crafter then peruses the list of available commissions, picks one that suits their skills, provides the missing reagents if needed, and fills the order.

     FF7 Rebirth team has

If you were hoping for a Dirge of Cerberus remake or remaster served up alongside Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, the FF7 R team has some disappointing news for you. Remake director Tetsuya Nomura and producer Yoshinori Kitase spoke with Famitsu (translated by Aita Japan CEO and Twitter user Audrey "aitaikimochi") shed some new light on a few aspects of Crisis Core Reunion, FF7 Rebirth, and the relationship between the two RPGs. Nomura said the original goal was remastering Dirge of Cerberus and Before Crisis, since the team wanted every aspect of the Final Fantasy 7 world represented in one game, which is why certain characters showed up as bosses in the Intergrade DLC.

     Larian is giving Baldur's Gate 3 classes a tune-up – literally

The selection of Baldur's Gate 3 classes is getting a bit bigger with the game's eighth significant update, Larian announced in its recent livestream. The fan-favorite Bard class joins the RPG game with two subclass options and the ability to sing songs around the campfire for just because. College of Valour Bards are fighting minstrels who buff allies, attacks, and weapons with their unique songs, while College of Lore Bards take more of a backseat role. They specialize in debuffing enemies, buffing allies, and using one of 97 bespoke insults depending on the occasion (no, it's true).

Hunter x Hunter Manga

Fans are one step closer to seeing the continuation of Hunter x Hunter manga series. The series creator Yoshihiro Togashi took to Twitter to announce that he was one chapter away from completing the manga's latest release. Alongside the announcement, Togashi also revealed a detailed sketch of the character Hiei from YuYu Hakusho, another popular series that he created.

Back in May 2022, Togashi surprised fans of Hunter x Hunter after he suddenly revealed that he was continuing work on the series after a nearly four-year hiatus. Over the last few months, the creator has been uploading images of his progress via his personal Twitter account every day. These images usually consist of page numbers and a few rough sketches. Details are still scarce, and it's unclear how many chapters or volumes Togashi plans on releasing.

With the last-chapter milestone, Togashi decided to do something slightly different.

https://twitter.com/Un4v5s8bgsVk9Xp/status/1544880069771833344?s=20&t=tTcuPkZNQ1E2e_YxEfn8Bg

In the latest update, Togashi also revealed a sketch of Hiei, one of the main characters from YuYu Hakusho. The sketch shows Hiei unraveling the bandages on his arm and letting the Dragon of the Darkness Flame loose. Notably, Togashi notes that he had originally intended on coloring in the sketch, but ultimately gave up. Furthermore, according to the attached Twitter hashtag, the sketch was from "quite a while ago".

Viz Media is in charge of the localization of the Hunter x Hunter manga. The anime adaptation is available to watch on Crunchyroll. There is no confirmed release date for the new manga chapters.

     Open World Terminator Survival Game Tease TrailerWhile the Terminator: Resistance team is busy with RoboCop: Rogue City, publisher Nacon has teased another game in the franchise. Tentatively called Terminator Survival Project, the new title is set to be an open-world survival game by Nacon's Milan Studio. It's the first time we've had a Terminator survival game, as most have been shooters. And sadly, we don't have a whole lot of information about it yet. The Terminator survival game only got a brief tease today during the Nacon showcase. In the video, we watch as a T-800 scours a seemingly abandoned warehouse. With a fire raging outside, the Terminator theme thumps away in the background. And, well, that's about it.   According to the website, the Terminator survival game is set after Judgment Day and before the resistance. For the most part, that players will fight during the most hopeless part of humanity's war against the machines. Skynet during this time is sending out squads of androids t...

     The Dark Pictures Anthology The Devil In Me Story Trailer ReleaseFresh off the release of The Quarry, developer Supermassive Games is prepping to launch the next chapter of The Dark Pictures Anthology. The Devil in Me, the fourth game in the series, received a story trailer today along with a fall release window. As per the usual, The Devil in Me stars a group of dorks trying to survive against some unseen terror. After a TV crew receives a mysterious phone call, they go off to enjoy a pleasant tour of a massive hotel. The clincher here is that the hotel is a recreation of the "Murder Castle" that infamous serial killer H. H. Holmes once used to lure in guests before killing them. It sounds like it'll be a lovely stay.   As the castle is a "faithful" recreation, you can expect it to be filled with terrors. The original castle had more than 100 rooms in its maze-like structure, along with traps, hidden rooms, and doors and staircases that led to nowhere. It's quite the setting for a game like The Devil in Me. ...

     Lord of the Rings Gollum trailer stealth guardsSo far, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum has left longtime fans of the esteemed fantasy franchise feeling mixed. On one hand, some enjoy the idea of centering an entire game around one of the franchise's most iconic characters and believe it could at least lead to some interesting concepts. On the other hand, some doubt that Gollum's canonical abilities and backstory can translate to a good gameplay or storytelling experience. The aesthetic of the game, which depicts the world of Middle-earth in a slightly more cartoonish style than usual, did not help matters. And frankly, the new gameplay trailer for The Lord of the Rings: Gollum that publisher Nacon uploaded doesn't seem like it will change anyone's minds. This trailer mainly focused on the title's stealth-centric gameplay, which looks about as basic as it gets. Aside from the expected sweeping shots of Middle-earth, the footage shown mostly amounted to Gollum hiding in bushes and climbing around the env...

     Skull And Bones November Release Date TrailerIt's been anchored for a long time, but Ubisoft's Skull and Bones finally has a release date for November. The multiplayer pirate game has been on troubled waters for many years, with reports on mismanagement and toxicity leaving many to wonder if it would ever get launched. However, it looks like the French developer is ready. Skull and Bones received a cinematic trailer and gameplay reveal today, heralding in the digital "Golden Age of Piracy." The Skull and Bones gameplay trailer reveals a colorful world ripe for plundering. Taking place on the Indian Ocean, your task is to begin your life as a pirate lord from scratch. You start off with nothing, having washed up in the pirate den of Saint Anne. Dens allow you to craft equipment and ships, prepare for voyages, take on quests, and interact with other players.
