I've been looking forward to Monolith Soft's next game since the last one ended in 2017, though not without my fair share of reservations.

     Survival game Farworld Pioneers is Terraria in space

TinyBuild and Igloosoft announced Farworld Pioneers, a new sci-fi survival game slated to enter early access in 2023, and it's giving us major Terraria vibes – if Terraria had physics-based gunplay and nuclear weapons, that is. In Farworld, you play as an explorer who suffered a terrible accident and crashed on an unknown planet. Alone, cold, and hungry, you venture forth to find a way of staying alive in the face of everything the mysterious planet throws at you.

     Some Phasmophobia ghosts can open the front door, it turns out

Phasmophobia ghosts all have a range of unique abilities, most of which players have learned by heart. Some leave fewer traces of their presence, others are more likely to hunt you down in the dark, and one can even use the abilities of other ghosts. What none of them can do is affect the front door, except during hunts when it locks automatically – or so we thought. During a recent in-game investigation Reddit user IgneousWrath conducted, they were caught between trying to decide if the ghost was a Yurei or an Oni, not helped by the surplus of ghost events taking place.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 character icons as Nintendo America Platinum Points Rewards

Nintendo Switch Online subscribers in the U.S. can obtain new user icons designed after Xenoblade Chronicles 3 characters by redeeming their My Nintendo Platinum Points throughout August 2022. Users can gather the points by completing Missions in the Nintendo Switch Online app. They will then be able to use their points to purchase rewards such as user icons.

The icons will be available for a limited time. Nintendo will split the distributions into five waves on a weekly basis. The schedule for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Platinum Points Rewards is as follows:

  • Wave 1 starring Noah and Mio: July 28 - August 4, 2022
  • Wave 2 starring Eunie and Taion: August 4 - 11, 2022
  • Wave 3 starring Lanz and Sena: August 11-18, 2022
  • Wave 4 starring Chibi Mio and Chibi Eunie: August 18-25, 2022
  • Wave 5 starring the Queens of Agnus and Keves: August 25 - September 1, 2022

Each wave will feature more than just the main characters mentioned above. The first wave also includes icons of several supporting characters like Riku, Valdi, and Juniper. Nintendo will end the ongoing wave every Thursday at 5:59 PM PT (8:59 ET).

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is available worldwide on Nintendo Switch. A Japanese and English dual audio option is available as part of the base game. Nintendo has also revealed a DLC Expansion Pass that will add more content like new hero characters and quests periodically until the end of 2023.

Once a year, those in the fighting game community (FGC) gather around Twitch to watch the best of the best duke it out in games like Street Fighter V and Guilty Gear.

The PlayStation Tournamets: Evo Lounge is a live-hosted show starring both players and commentators "who live and breathe the FGC." Oftentimes, viewers wonder if or when a major competition will offer any juicy announcements. It does happen from time to time, but generally after an event has concluded.
