While Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are still a week out from release, it's currently open season on leaks and spoilers as copies of the game begin to circulate in the wild. But perhaps no leak has yet torn the Pokémon community apart quite like the Sprigatito's second and third evolutions. Players who decide to pick the…

What a world. A One Piece movie about a pop star was one of the highest-grossing anime films in Japan earlier this year. Just released here, I watched One Piece Film: Red during its debut weekend to see what all the hype was about. I was blown away by the film's bombastic style and emotional storyline. So of course I…

     Genshin Impact Nahida swing glitch lets AR30 player sneak into Inazuma

This Genshin Impact Nahida glitch gives the Dendro Archon a movement option that HoYoverse never intended for her to have, and a player has used the bug to reach the RPG's Inazuma region early. Nahida is able to carry any momentum put upon her while she's in her idle animation. This means that, while she's on her little swing, she can also zoom across Teyvat when given a good push.

     The best teams to manage in Football Manager 2023

The best teams to manage in Football Manager 2023 is a subjective topic because there are hundreds, if not thousands, of clubs to choose from in the football game. Add custom databases and that number increases even further. However, defining the "best" is important right from kick-off, because on paper, the best teams in FM23 are PSG, Real Madrid, and Manchester City. They have the best players, the biggest budgets, and the most pull in the transfer market.

While playing as these global superstars in the management game can be fun for a while, our list of the best teams to manage in FM23 tackle the most interesting clubs, the ones with a bit of history behind them and a story to tell. After all, would you rather smash out a win on a cold Tuesday night in Stoke with Erling Haaland, or a free agent you signed from nowhere to help you climb to the top of world football? If you're looking for a challenge, we've put together some of the best teams to manage in FM23 for those that want something a little different.

     FM23 wonderkids: the best young players in Football Manager 2023

FM23 wonderkids aren't your average young player, they're the cream of the crop. While still younger than 21, they often have the current ability to compete with the average top division player and have a potential so high that it would make any Champions League team blush. However, because of this, they can often cost you tens of millions in the management game, although if you're smart you might be able to pick yourself up a bargain. If you're looking to build a team for the future in FM23 and don't mind developing these players, then you might bag yourself a future club legend.

So while you're blitzing through the seasons in your beta save for the football game, we wanted to provide you with a list of some of the best wonderkids in FM23. Whether you're looking for a goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, winger, or striker, we've got you covered with ten of the most promising young talents on the market for each position. However, if you're looking to seriously save some cash, look towards our guide with the best FM23 free agents, or if you're unsure who to manage for your career, read up on the best teams to manage in FM23.

     The best FM23 free agents to sign in Football Manager 2023

Unearthing the best FM23 free agents is a key part of the game, whether your club has little to no budget, or you just love a bargain. Free agents are often ageing legends of the game (the oldest one on a large database is 55), or players who slipped out of football from big academies, so you can often find talent hiding away unattached in the football game. You won't find the games top wonderkids, but there are some real free hidden gems available in Football Manager 2023, who you could even play and then sell on for pure profit.

The revamped scouting centre in the management game has made it easier than ever to find free agents. In the 'players in range' section, you can do a new search and sort by unattached or expired contract statuses to find . A simple filter is the 'interested in transfer' checkbox, to give you a list of realistic matches, and then you can sort by the world reputation star filter, or add in extra conditions to sort by, such as international caps, to get a view of what you're looking for. Not sure if they're up to scratch? Offer them a trial over pre-season to get a look at their performances on the pitch. Here are the best FM23 free agents you need to sign.

     How to install the FM23 real name fix

The FM23 real name fix is a long-standing tradition for regular players of the football game. The real names for some clubs and competitions have been replaced by similar, but obviously incorrect names, such as 'Man UFC' in the 'English Premier Division', or every club in Brazil being replaced by three-letter abbreviations in the management game.

Thankfully, there is a solution to this, and it's incredibly easy to set up. Here's what you need to know about how to install the Football Manager 2023 real name fix, so you can pick one of the best teams to manage and take them to success amongst properly named clubs.

     The best FM23 logo packs and how to install them

The best Football Manager 2023 logo packs are a must-have in the management game, because it doesn't have the licences to use all the correct badges by default. As a result, fake logos are used instead. While some of these fakes look pretty good, they still have nothing on using the official badges and logos in the football game.

It's fairly simple to install logo packs in Football Manager, but if you've never done it before, we've got you covered. We also have a few of the best logo packs in FM23 listed, so you can pick the one that suits your preferred style the best - ideally in tandem with the best FM23 skins.

The best FM23 skins help to make an already pretty good UI even better, because there are always improvements to be made. Whether you want to customise the aesthetics of your Football Manager 2023 UI, or you want to change how information is shown to you in the football game, once you've tried out a custom skin, you won't be wanting to go back to the base one.

It's not entirely straightforward to install the best FM23 skins though, because you need to dive into the files of the game whether you're on Windows or Mac. We've got all the details on how to install skins right here, after this list of the best skins to install. Make sure you also install one of the best FM23 logo packs alongside your new skin.

     Dying Light 2 update will bring back the X-ray stun effect

Dying Light 2 made some big changes to the formula established by the first entry in the zombie game series, adding new features and dropping a few others. One of the latter was the bone-crunching X-ray effect you'd see when you stunned an enemy: with the right kind of hit, you'd trigger a slowdown mode and see an infected's skeleton crushed by the impact of your weapon. That feature will be coming to Dying Light 2 in update 1.7.2, which will be available to play November 10 alongside the upcoming story DLC, Bloody Ties.

     The best Marvel Snap decks in November 2022

The best Marvel Snap decks are a combination of Pool 1 cards, along with those unlocked later down the line. However, in the early stages of this card game, not everybody has unlocked enough cards for the absolute best decks, so we've got some options that will suit beginners, alongside some more complex offerings that fit the meta at higher ranks. It's also worth looking at our Marvel Snap tier list, which covers all the cards in Pool 1.

Whether you're looking for the Kazoo decklist in this free PC game (and mobile, if you want to play on the go), you've just unlocked Pool 2 so want to know what the best cards are, or you fancy a destroy deck for a while, here are all of the best Marvel Snap decks you need to get your hands on.

     The best Minecraft seeds 2022

The best Minecraft seeds cater to a number of requirements, like strongholds near villages for speedrunning, beautiful landscapes for building, and great areas for looting. These seeds are codes that the sandbox game uses to generate worlds for you, so even though new worlds are randomly generated, you can rebuild in the same ones over and over again.

Your job is simple: pick the one you want to play around in, whether that's an ideal spawn location for gathering the best loot or exploring an idyllic landscape. In order to get the best Minecraft seeds up and running, grab the code and enter it into the seed field when creating a  new Minecraft world. The game does all the heavy lifting, leaving you to survey your new surroundings to your heart's content.

Regardless of whether you're a professional miner or someone about to load up their first world, there's something you can't control in Minecraft: the terrain itself. So while your mind may be brimming with possibilities, all too frequently, you'll spawn in a bland, uninspiring world full of flat grassland and the odd chicken. Hardly the canvas for your masterpiece. Hence this collection of the best Minecraft seeds, from the inspiring to the functional and everything in between.

     Marvel Snap tier list November 2022: the best cards in Pool 1

A Marvel Snap tier list for cards is an interesting prospect, because you're limited to 12 cards per deck despite the huge number of cards in the game. While our list of the best Marvel Snap decks covers some of the most meta decklists in the game right now, this tier list for the popular card game looks at individual cards and their power by themselves, or perhaps when used in a combo with one or two others.

We've also got separate tier lists for all three pools in the game right now. Pool one is where you'll be if you're just getting into the game and has the most amount of cards, while pools two and three come later on, when you've risen considerably in collection level. So without further ado, here is our complete Marvel Snap tier list for every card in the game right now.

     What is the current and next Genshin Impact banner?

Genshin Impact banners rotate every few weeks on a precise schedule, and we always know what to expect thanks to regular updates from Hoyoverse. The developer of the anime game always keeps its fans in the loop with regular Twitter posts and livestreams, so you can plan where you want to spend your hard-earned Primogems.

With a two to three-week turnaround for banners, the roster of Genshin Impact characters is always changing, and the current 3.2 update brings two brand-new Teyvat residents to draw for. Every limited-time character banner - or Event Wish - contains a five-star character, and three four-star characters with increased drop rates. There's also a Weapon banner - Epitome Invocation - which runs alongside each character banner and changes weapons every update.

The STB 556 is one of the best assault rifles in MW2, but it does handle more like an SMG, making it perfect for close encounters, but also powerful at medium range. It has excellent recoil, so we've used attachments that improve the gun's accuracy, bullet velocity, and mobility.

Want to know where you can find Genshin Impact Faruzan ascension materials? Faruzan is a four-star Anemo bow-user, and she is one of the new Genshin Impact characters that will feature during one of the upcoming banners, coming to the free game sometime during the Genshin Impact 3.3 update.

Faruzan is the third Anemo bow wielder, with Collei and Tighnari arriving before her, and is described by the official artwork as an 'enigmatic machinist', with her being a household name in Haravatat: one of the Six Darshans, or six main schools, of Sumeru Akademiya. Four-star characters can potentially become some of the best characters in the RPG game, frequently appearing at the top of the Genshin Impact tier list. The jury's still out on how high she'll rank, but for those who want to get ahead, we have the information you see about Genshin Impact Faruzan ascension materials you need to gather.

     The best P890 loadout in Modern Warfare 2

Looking for the best P890 loadout in Modern Warfare 2? The P890 is a semi-automatic pistol that excels in close-quarters firefights, and it's become an unlikely rising star in the FPS game's multiplayer meta. Typically, most players flock to the best assault rifles or best sniper rifles before they take to the battlefield, but the P890 is a pistol that packs a punch, and that's before you add any attachments via the Modern Warfare 2 Gunsmith system to improve it even further.

Our best Modern Warfare 2 P890 loadout builds upon the P890's impressive handling and mobility by refining its aim down sights speed and recoil control. We've also taken steps to improve upon its bullet velocity, but just bear in mind that the effectiveness of the P890 is restricted to its close range. Regardless of its damage output, it's still a pistol, and its bullet velocity is never going to reach that of long-range weapons such as the Lachmann-762 or the TAQ-56, so be careful not to overextend yourself and exhaust your ammo. That said, we've accounted for this as well in our best P890 loadout in Modern Warfare 2 – read on to find out more.

Dell's Alienware AW3423DW is my favourite ultrawide monitor, thanks to its beautiful 34-inch QD-OLED screen that offers perfect blacks, near-instant pixel response times and gorgeous colours. With wide-screen 1440p (3440x1440) resolution and a 175Hz refresh rate, it's both detailed and responsive, and it looks the part too with a very cool space-y design.

I was lucky enough to review one for several months for Digital Foundry - I think Dell forgot about it for a while - so I consider it my duty to inform you that it is now on sale for the first time ever, dropping from £1099 to £943 - still a big chunk of change, but a fitting Black Friday price for one of the best monitors on the market of any description, hands down.

Rhythm games lose something when they don't come bundled with a peripheral, I think. There's something about a physical controller, custom built to emulate the action the game revolves around, that lends games a level of credibility you lose the second you try and play it with a regular pad. Playing Guitar Hero with an Xbox 360 controller feels like trying to paint a bedroom wall using a spoon.

The other week I played a short demo for the upcoming Resident Evil 4 remake. You'd think being lucky enough to actually play the damn thing would have numbed my hyper-fixation about it a touch, but, nope. I'm afraid not. It turns out the guy who owns eight physical copies (and four digital) of the original Resident Evil 4 is still pretty excited to play the remake. Who ever could have predicted this?

The day my preview went live, Capcom showed off a couple of additional bits as part of a hefty Resident Evil showcase. Alongside a fresh story trailer the company also discussed the various gubbins you'll receive if you fork out for the game's special edition as well as a short gameplay demonstration. Surprising no one, I've watched these clips so many times I now have a load of thoughts that are not only completely useless but are taking up vital brain space I usually reserve for things like pin numbers and dates. If I don't vent all of this garbage out of my skull there's a chance I'll forget my Mam's birthday again, something that genuinely happened once when I was 17 and I haven't stopped feeling guilty about it since. I bought her a plant from a Tesco Express three days later thinking that would help. It didn't. This event haunts me more than any Resident Evil jumpscare ever could.

Street Fighter The Movie Free Stream

Street Fighter: The Movie is available to watch entirely for free through the Tubi streaming service. Potential viewers won't need an account to access the film. They can stream the movie with a single click of a button. (Or a tap, if you're viewing it on mobile devices.) The 1994 adaptation features takes on popular characters like Colonel Guile, played by 1980s action film star Jeanne-Claude Van Damme, and Blanka. Characters like M. Bison, played by Raul Julia, and Cammy, played by Kylie Minogue, also appear during the film. It is only available to view in the US. [Thanks, Wario64!]

The premise of Street Fighter: The Movie draws loose inspiration from the popular fighting game franchise. The story follows several key characters throughout the story, such as Chun-Li, Ryu, Ken, and Guile, as they work to bring down M. Bison. A sequel was planned in 2003, but the project never came to fruition.

While there are no talks to bring another Street Fighter adaptation to the silver screen, a new entry in the series is slated to launch in 2023. Street Fighter VI (also referred to as Street Fighter 6) will see the return of series mainstays like Chun-Li and Ryu. However, entirely new characters will be appearing debut too. Capcom shared the launch roster for when the game eventually appears on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.

Street Fighter: The Movie originally released in 1994 and is now immediately available to stream for free through Tubi.

Honkai Impact 3rd Story Chapter 32 Trailer Takes Us to the Moon

There's a way to catch up with the Honkai Impact 3rd story and activities, thanks to a Chapter 32 trailer. A new video narrated by Kiana Kaslana Chinese voice actress Dian Tao offers a summary of what players will experience when exploring the Atra Sanctuary. This area and next portion of the adventure appeared when version 6.1 launched on October 27, 2022.

Essentially, the Valkyries head to the Moon. The Atra Sanctuary is a base there. It's in need of repair, so you need to repair it as you play. There is also an Announcement Board with tasks and a Core Refinement space to get resources. The Master Terminal there can be improved and upgraded, which in turn improves the base. However, it will also be possible to venture outside to explore. There will be Stele of Reliving Calamity: Solemnity of Death Feather of Truth challenge stages there too.

Kiana explained that an unusual robot appears alongside the party once they arrive on the moon. It can be improved to change its appearance and capacity. It can find resources when exploring and assist the party when in battle. Workshop V7 lets you improve it further. Its Basic ATK, Disruption, and Ultimate branches can be upgraded.

Here's the full Honkai Impact 3rd Chapter 32 trailer. English subtitles are available.

Honkai Impact 3rd is available on PCs and mobile devices. In addition to Chapter 32, the update also added Li Sushang to the game.

Chainsaw Man Pop Up Parade

Good Smile Company opened pre-orders for two new entries into the Pop Up Parade figure line: Denji and Chainsaw Man. The two figures, sold separately, will be available to order from GSC through December 8, 2022.

The Pop Up Parade Denji figure shows protagonist Denji in his everyday devil hunter outfit. His pose shows him pulling on the start cord of his internal chainsaw motor, readying for transformation. The figure costs ¥4,800/$31.99, and comes with a stand. The figure is about 170mm (about 6.7 inches) tall.

[gallery columns="2" size="medium" ids="939410,939411" link="file"]

Meanwhile, the Pop Up Parade Chainsaw Man figure shows Denji transformed into his devil form, Chainsaw Man. With an arched back and chainsaws sprouting from his arms and head, its pose is quite a bit more dynamic. It's also a bit unbalanced, and the figures's stand has pegs to help it remain upright on a display shelf. It also stands slightly taller than the Denji Pop Up Parade figure at 185mm (about 7.3" inches) tall. It still costs the same amount, though, at ¥4,800/$31.99.

[gallery size="medium" ids="939412,939413,939414" link="file"]

Both the Denji and Chainsaw Man Pop Up Parade Figures are expected to ship by April 2023. The Chainsaw Man manga is published in English by Viz Media, and the anime is airing on Crunchyroll and other streaming services.

How Does Harvestella Compare to Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons, Stardew Valley, and Rune Factory

With Harvestella, Square Enix is tossing its hat into a ring of farming life sims with RPG elements that includes Story of Seasons (aka Harvest Moon), Rune Factory, and Stardew Valley. Which might make someone wonder how it compares. A lot of the gameplay is similar or akin to what people remember. However, there are some things unique to it that help it stand out.

How Does Harvestella Compare to Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons, Stardew Valley, and Rune Factory

What's Harvestella Farming Like Compared to Story of Seasosn, Stardew Valley, and Rune Factory?

In general, growing crops in Harvestella will feel a lot like doing so in Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town, Stardew Valley, and Rune Factory 4 or 5. You till the land. Then, you plant a seed. You'll get one item, even if more than one show on-screen. (Cucumbles is a good example, as you'll see more than one growing, but only harvest one each time.) Crops are able to grow in specific seasons, with some available almost all the time and others limited to one specific time of year.

Like other games in the genre, you'll be able to craft makers. For example, recipes to create animal feed, flour, and juice makers will be among the first you'll earn. Once you craft one, you can place them out in the open on your farm and use them as needed. Since you can place makers, there is some mild customization when deciding how your farm looks. However, you won't be able to make personal spaces as detailed as ones in Stardew Valley.

Livestock aren't as big of a focus in Harvestella as in other games. After you find your first Conellu Doll in Higan Canyon while heading to find Aria with Dianthus and Unicorn, you'll happen upon a Conellu Doll. This causes the Conellu Emporium to appear in Lethe Village. If you build livestock pens, you can start raising Cluffowls to get eggs or Woolums to get milk. Instead of a horse, you can get a Totokaku to ride.

Square Enix

What's Harvestella's Dungeon-Crawling Like Compared to Rune Factory and Stardew Valley?

When it comes to the action-RPG elements, Harvestella can feel a lot like Rune Factory! It's more advanced, however, with more detail put into players' avatars. There won't be any farmland tied to certain seasons in the Harvestella "dungeon" areas, like in some Rune Factory games. Also, while there might be "mining" spots as in Stardew Valley, they work a bit differently. The one thing all three games have in common is that they are action-RPGs once you head into a dungeon.

Like Rune Factory, the dungeons here can have certain gimmicks. For example, Higan Canyon is an autumnal forest with bridges to repair and plant root bridges to walk across. The Heaven's Egg is a futuristic space with special wind crystals you can interact with to ride currents across gaps and vine barriers that can only be withered with potions found in chests nearby.

Harvestella's character development is way more advanced than other games. While your abilities and skills passively level up in Rune Factory as you use them, it's much different here. Your earned experience can lead to your leveling up at the end of the day. Your avatar gains new classes upon meeting certain party members, which affects their attacks and abilities. Three of these jobs can be equipped at once, and you can switch between them on the fly. You earn job points for fighting as that class, allowing you to choose new skills from the skill tree.

Here's the funny thing about Harvestella… it's actually a little like Etrian Odyssey! When you are exploring a dungeon, you might come upon a glittering spot. This leads to a text-based event that can net you an item, affect your health, or result in an encounter. There are also the Harvestella FEAR, which is the game's equivalent to an Etrian Odyssey F.O.E. These monsters are at a much higher level than usual, walk along a certain pre-determined path, and should be avoided until you are strong enough to tackle them.

How Does Harvestella Compare to Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons, Stardew Valley, and Rune Factory

What are Harvestella Relationships Like Compared to Story of Seasons, Rune Factory, and Stardew Valley?

Okay, first of all, there is a relationship element and some romance in Harvestella, just like you'd find in games like Story of Seasons, Rune Factory, and Stardew Valley. Not every one of these companions will join you as an ally for dungeon excursions. Also, the way the relationship building works, you'll need to progress through the story and complete character-specific quests to get to know people better. The actual romance doesn't come up until the endgame areas, so a lot of the game involves building a foundation with other characters. (However, the ones who become your allies will be able to unleash joint attacks with you in battle, just like in Rune Factory 5.)

Harvestella also handles relationships with general townsfolk differently. There are multiple villages your avatar will visit around the world. Each one will only feature at least two characters with portraits, who you will form meaningful bonds with. The other people will be NPC villagers who don't get their own character portraits or as much development. However, some of them do get their own side-quests. For example, the Lethe village kids Van and Vent worry they upset their playmate Milika. Their sidequest can involve helping to repair the bond. However, that also leads into the discovery that something else is going on with Milika that threatens the trio's bond. So while not every villager is going to have a portrait and elaborate story, like in Story of Seasons, Rune Factory, or Stardew Valley, there's still some development for these ancillary cast members. It almost feels a bit more like a JRPG when it comes to interacting with community members not important enough to join your party or get a character portrait.

So really, Harvestella does a pretty good job of defining itself as its own thing, while still relying on familiar staples other farming sims possess. It definitely taps into what made series like Rune Factory and Story of Seasons special. But there are certain distinguishing features that accentuate its RPG-elements.

Harvestella is available for the Nintendo Switch and PC.

Good Smile Company will soon bring some chibi companionship for the Nendoroid Hunter. The company previewed prototypes of its new Bloodborne Doll Nendoroid figure via the Kahotan Blog and the official online store. Pre-orders are also open in Japan and North America for those interested in picking up the figure.

The Bloodborne Doll Nendoroid is based on the character from Bloodborne. The figure appears wearing the same attire as the game character, including her trademark shawl. It comes with a stand and several accessories, including an Old Hair Ornament, a baby squid, and a lantern. It'll cost ¥6,900/$45.99 USD. She is expected to ship in May 2023 in Japan and July 2023 in North America.

[gallery columns="5" size="medium" ids="939418,939419,939420,939421,939422" link="file"]

The Doll is a helper created by Gehrman, a key character in Bloodborne. She's seen sitting outside the workshop in the Hunter's Dream area of the game. She initially appears as an unmoving, inanimate figure. However, when approached by a player with at least one Insight point, she comes to life. The Doll serves the Hunters in the Hunter's dream, allowing them to level up and allocate their stat points. She is voiced by Evetta Muradasilova, also voiced Lady Maria and the Maiden in Black from Demon's Souls.

The Bloodborne Doll Nendoroid is available for pre-order in Japan and North America. Bloodborne is available on the PS4.

Clive FFXVI

In an interview with Sony for the PlayStation Blog, Final Fantasy XVI Localization Director Michael-Christopher Koji Fox shared insight about protagonist Clive. In the interview, Fox mentioned that due to the differences between Final Fantasy XIV and FFXVI, Clive will be more involved in dialogue than the Warrior of Light from the MMORPG. Which is natural, given that Clive will serve as the protagonist to the next mainline entry in the Final Fantasy series.

Fox described the difference between writing for an MMORPG compared to a more focused experience like Final Fantasy XVI. The game's nature as a standalone narrative changes things. He stated that Clive will have a more active role in conversations in comparison to FFXVI. This is because characters won't be talking "to" him, as he described. He also noted that high quality facial capture will also lend itself to the team being able to convey certain emotions without the use of dialogue.

Outside of Clive, Square Enix released information about several other characters that will appear throughout the game. The new details included a look at other Dominants of importance, such as Dion Lesage and Barnabas Tharmr. Both characters received a bit of the limelight in the "Ambitions" trailer. That video provided a deeper look into the various factions at play in the JRPG.

Final Fantasy XVI will release in Summer 2023.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Stone Ocean Clothing

Apparel brand glamb introduced a new line of clothing inspired by JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean. The collection will feature art and designs based on moments in the sixth part of Hirohiko Araki's long-running manga. The line goes on sale in Japan in February 2023 [Thanks, Comic Natalie!]

The JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean clothing line includes t-shirts, shirts, hoodies, sweaters, and even sukajan (a Japanese silk coat inspired by baseball jackets). The art features original designs inspired by characters like Ermes Costello, F.F., Narcisco, Weather Report, and Emporio Alniño. They also call back to key encounters from the series.

[gallery columns="5" size="medium" link="file" ids="939444,939445,939446,939447,939448,939449,939450,939451,939452,939453"]

In the Stone Ocean clothing selection, one t-shirt features a design of Jolyne in the pocket wearing a rat costume. It refers to her encounter with Gwess, a fellow prisoner at the Green Dolphin Street State Prison. Gwess, a Stand user, shrinks Jolyne down and forces her to wear a costume and become a pet named "Chorokichi." Another design shows off Star Platinum, the Stand of Stardust Crusaders protagonist Jotaro Kujoh. Even the Green Dolphin Prison warden Loccobarroco has a shirt, with his pink alligator puppet companion Charlotte.

The actual pricing for the items hasn't been revealed yet. Going by the prices for a previous glamb x JoJo's Bizarre Adventure clothing line from 2021, though, items could range in pricing from 7,500 Yen ($51 USD) to over 19,000 Yen ($130 USD).

Pre-orders for the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean clothing line are open in Japan, with shipping and stocking set to begin in February 2023. The anime adaptation of Stone Ocean streams on Netflix, and the manga is published in English by Viz Media.

FFVII Remake Video Shows How a Storyboard Became the Honeybee Inn Scene

Square Enix took to the Final Fantasy VII Twitter account to share a FFVII Remake Honeybee Inn video that shows how a storyboard became an in-game dance scene. This offers a split-screen perspective. On the top, people can see the concept art. Each panel is another one in the storyboard for the scene. On the bottom, there's the actual video showing the ensuing dance.

Here's the full FFVII Remake Honeybee Inn "making of" video clip. It features the lead-in to the rhythm minigame involving Andrea Rhodea and Cloud Strife. As such, we don't actually see the storyboard for the dance between Andrea and Cloud. Rather, we see the other dancers performing the show.

In the past, Square Enix mentioned the Honeybee Inn scene in FFVII Remake took the most prep time. It also showed concept art that compared it to the original game.

Some other recent behind-the-scenes tidbits focused on FFVII Remake character designs. In one series of images, Square Enix showed off details for Tifa's "Sporty" cheongsam. This is one of the three dresses she might wear when heading to Don Corneo's mansion. Another focused on Barret's gun arm, showing off how it works and how he cares for it.

Valkyrie Elysium Update Adds Playable Hilde, Seraphic Gate Dungeon

Square Enix revealed a Valkyrie Elysium free update that makes Hilde playable, adds the traditional Valkyrie Profile Seraphic Gate dungeon, and two new difficulty levels. It is immediately available to download. However, you'll need to beat the game before you can become Hilde or enter Seraphic Gate. People who get the PC version won't need to download any additional update, as it will be included in it at launch.

All of the new content in the Valkyrie Elysium update is designed to offer an additional challenge for established players. The two new difficulty options are both harder than included ones. Very Hard and Valkyrie both show up once you install the patch. Valkyrie is the most difficult option. Square Enix didn't explain what either will entail.

To play as Hilde in Valkyrie Elysium, you'll need to beat the game once. Then, if the update is installed, you'll see Hilde's Vengeance in the main menu. This follows the Fenrir-allied heroine as she heads to find and face Odin.

Finally, the Seraphic Gate in Valkyrie Elysium is a post-game dungeon, much like it is in other Valkyrie Profile games. You'll be assigned Divine Arts, Einherjar, and items to use on each floor of the dungeon. A timer will also show how long you're taking to go through every floor.

Valkyrie Elysium is available for the PS4 and PS5. The PC version will launch on November 11, 2022. The free Valkyrie Elysium with a playable Hilde, new difficulty options, and Seraphic Gate is out now.

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Great Tusk and Iron Treads Revealed

Nintendo teased two more Pokemon Scarlet and Violet characters called Great Tusk and Iron Treads. These are two mysterious Pokemon seen in the Scarlet and Violet Books. Each game has its own book, which features lore from an ancient expedition. Arven, an NPC players will meet, carries it in each entry.

The official Pokemon Twitter account shared gifs showing each of the characters. First, the Great Tusk found in Pokemon Scarlet appears to resemble a mammoth. Its defining characteristic is a pair of huge tusks. However, it also features armor that looks like treads on its back.

With Iron Treads, the Pokemon Violet creature looks to be more robotic in nature. While it also features two "horns" on the sides of its body, it also seems to have a tread-like tail that curls up over its body.

Nintendo also shared pictures of these two creatures from the Scarlet and Violet Books that hint at their background.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will come to the Nintendo Switch on November 18, 2022. The newest trailer showed off gameplay and some starters while the Ed Sheeran song "Celestial" played.

     Mass Effect 5 Next Secret Message Liara TeaserI speculated yesterday that BioWare was likely hiding something in its N7 teaser. To celebrate the day, the company shared a teaser image paired with spooky audio for the in-progress next Mass Effect game. It turns out, I was right. As discovered by the community, and spotted by PC Gamer, the Mass Effect teaser contains a secret message from none other than franchise mainstay Liara T'Soni. The image itself seemed innocent enough. A massive ship-like monitoring station is seen orbiting a hazy planet. All around are smaller ships, dwarfed by enormous construct. Distorted audio plays throughout the teaser, and to the casual fan is nothing more than noise. However, Soundcloud user Mosaic Horse cut through the noise, and found that the Mass Effect teaser contained a brief clip spoken by Liara.   Much of it is too distorted to distorted to make out, save for a couple eerie sentences.
