     An Apex Legends Loba Heirloom might be in the works

Fans are thinking an Apex Legends Loba Heirloom is coming in the battle royale's Season 14, and they may just have good reason to think so. One of Respawn's animators commented on Twitter that Loba has been on their mind a lot frequently, and it instantly set fans wondering what the significance of the statement might be in relation to the next Apex Legends Heirloom, if any. Since Loba doesn't have an Heirloom yet, and there's been no news of this season's Heirlooms yet, the natural assumption is that Moy Parra, an animator usually involved in motion capture for Apex Legends, was involved in bringing the Loba Heirloom to life.

     Diablo 3 Season 27 release date finally gets announced

Blizzard finally gave us the Diablo 3 Season 27 release date in a lengthy new blog post, outlining everything to expect in the RPG's upcoming content update. Diablo 3 Season 27 begins August 26 at 5 p.m. PDT/8 p.m. EDT and August 27 at 1 a.m. BST.  Light's Calling is the new seasonal theme. It centers around angelic trials the Nephalem can undergo, which in practical terms means you can earn Angelic Crucibles, a new consumable that lets you infuse legendary weapons with a random new class-specific power. Whichever new power you get, expect it to "lean into the expertise of each class," Blizzard said in the season overview.

     Your Steam Deck release date might be sooner than you thought

Valve is taking steps to full its promise that your Steam Deck release date will actually be in 2022, if you placed a pre-order. The Steam maker posted an announcement on Twitter saying they were stepping up the number of Steam Deck orders fulfilled each week once more and reminded anyone with a pre-order to check their email in case it slips through. Valve says it sends Steam Deck emails on Mondays and Thursdays during the morning hours. Make sure to keep an eye on your inboxes, and as Valve recommended previously, check your other folders. Some Steam Deck emails wind up in junk mail, and even though Valve holds the reservation for a few days, it's not a good position to be in.

     Apex Legends heirlooms: every heirloom set and how to get them

Want to know what the latest Apex Legends heirlooms are? Heirloom sets contain three cosmetic items: a melee weapon, a banner pose, and a quip, and they're essentially the rarest cosmetics in the game. There are multiple ways to unlock heirloom sets, but it all boils down to opening Apex Packs, which are primarily earned by leveling up in the battle royale game. So yes, this does mean you have a higher chance of getting an heirloom set if you spend real money.

It's worth noting that the Apex Legends Season 14 update increased the level cap to 2,000, finally making it possible to unlock an heirloom for free. Prior to this update, it was impossible for players to unlock additional Apex Packs once they reached the level cap. Here's everything you need to know about Apex Legends heirlooms, including how to unlock them, which Legends have them, and what heirloom set is coming out soon.

The Razer Huntsman Mini Analog is one of a vanishingly small number of keyboards with analogue switches, meaning each key knows exactly how far down it's being pressed. That unlocks the door to some unique capabilities, from adjusting the sensitivity of the keyboard on the fly to using the WASD keys as a thumbstick replacement in racing games. It's also just a damn fine mechanical keyboard, with a comfortable 60% size, bright RGB lighting and premium PBT keycaps.

You normally pay a lot for this kind of quality and functionality - £150, in fact - but today the keyboard has dropped to its lowest ever price of £97.94 over at Amazon UK.

Final Fantasy VII merchandise - Red XIII and Cait Sith tissue boxes

More new Final Fantasy VII merchandise will appear in Japan, and they will feature Red XIII and Cait Sith. Square Enix has opened pre-orders for tissue boxes and sleeping eye masks modeled after both characters' heads in the country.

The eye masks will come with an individual price tag of 3,850 yen (~$29), while the tissue boxes will cost 4,950 yen (~$37) each. Square Enix will produce the items with soft, fluffy materials to comfort the users.

At the same time, Square Enix also put up a new page for a backpack emblazoned with the Shinra Company logo. The black bag will be available at 21,780 yen (~$165).

Square Enix has been releasing many Final Fantasy VII-related merchandise to celebrate the title's 25th anniversary. Other items it has revealed previously range from Cloud Strife pin badges to a Shinra Company umbrella. A new Bring Arts figure of Cloud will also come with a couple of unique NFTs for every purchase.

Final Fantasy VII originally appeared on the original PlayStation in 1997. Square Enix launched Final Fantasy VII Remake in 2020 as a remake of the Midgar arc. The company is currently working on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, a continuation of the Remake story that will appear on PlayStation 5 around late 2023 and early 2024.

The new Final Fantasy VII merchandise featuring Red XIII, Cait Sith, and Shinra Company will release in Japan on December 24, 2022.

FFVII Remake Honeybee Inn

Final Fantasy VII Remake's development team did a lot of work to remake Wall Market, but a song-and-dance took the most work of all. A new blog post from Square Enix covering the development of the game shows that the Honeybee Inn in FFVII Remake took the most prep work of all the sequences in the chapter. The post also shed more light on the boss battle with fan-favorite enemy Hell House.

As with other entries in the FFVII Remake Revisited series, the blog features insights from members of the dev team. This installment included input from Co-Director Motomu Toriyama, Composer Mitsuto Suzuki, Battle Director Teruki Endo, Designer Naoki Hamaguchi, Cutscene Director Hidekazu Miyake, and Character Designer Roberto Ferrari.

Note: The blog and this post contains spoilers for the FFVII Remake Honeybee Inn section, as well as for Chapter 9: The Town That Never Sleeps.

As with other sections of FFVII Remake, the Honeybee Inn and Wall Market areas were approached based on a central idea. This idea was to give players a deeper look at the lives of Midgar's slum-dwellers. In-game, this is expressed in side quests and quest chains for the residents. The quests also have an additional effect on outcomes by the time the player gets into the Honeybee Inn: They affect the outfits Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith wear in that section. Sector 7's sidequests affect Tifa's outfit, Sector 5's quests influence Aerith's choice of clothing, and Wall Market itself (Sector 6), determine Cloud's look.

When remaking the Honeybee Inn for FFVII Remake, the team decided from the beginning to reframe the establishment. In Final Fantasy VII, the Honeybee Inn was clearly a brothel, but for Remake, the team opted to recast the location as more of a cabaret, with a focus on "maximum showbusiness". This included a song-and-dance number, naturally. The process of referencing dance shows, editing together footage, lyrics, and choreography, was quite time-consuming. In fact, according to Toriyama, pre-production prep took up "the longest period in the whole development" of Wall Market. By the time development wrapped up, the finalized sequence contained many references to Cloud's actions from the original game as well as in the remake, with distinctive poses and steps.

Final Fantasy VII Remake is available on PC, PS4, and PS5. Its sequel, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, is in development. Figures of Cloud in one of the dress options from the Honeybee Inn section are available for pre-order.

Not only did we get the season's first patch, but we also learned that Morty Smith is joining the roster on August 23. But during all this commotion, a rumor was stirring. An image was circulating, showing that MultiVersus was going to be invaded by DC's Black Adam, as well as Stripe from the Gremlins movie. Since the best way to get ahead of a rumor is to confirm or deny, WB Games just went ahead and admitted it was true. Both Black Adam and Stripe are heading to MultiVersus during Season 1, the publisher confirmed. While neither WB Games or developer Player First Games provided many details, they did share a splash image on Twitter with the two characters.

A few references point to Insomniac Games possibly toying with a two-player mode that would include both Peter Parker and Miles Morales, before likely abandoning it for one reason or another during…

     Total War Warhammer 3 Immortal Empires crowns a decade of development

When the Total War: Warhammer 3 Immortal Empires combined campaign is finally introduced to the series of fantasy strategy games, it's not simply going to double the size of the Mortal Empires sandbox map. Instead, it's combining everything that Creative Assembly has ever made for the three Warhammer games, a series that began a decade ago when the studio announced its long-term partnership with Warhammer publisher Games Workshop. For the developers who have been with the studio since that day, the launch of Immortal Empires represents a career-defining moment.

     Multiversus new characters speculation: upcoming fighters

Want to know all about the new Multiversus characters? With a pretty sizeable roster already, the popular fighting game is picking up plenty of steam now that it's in open beta. It also helps that Multiversus is a platform fighter similar to Super Smash Bros, and it's completely free-to-play across PC and consoles.

New Multiversus characters are coming to the game every season, and each of these fighters takes their rightful place somewhere on the Multiversus tier list. It's a tricky balancing job as, eventually, you can train them in as many Multiversus perks as you want, but new fighters can bring wildly different strategies.

     Multiversus season 1 patch gives Morty release date and nerfs Batman

The Multiversus season 1 patch offers a variety of small and large changes to the free-to-play, crossover PC fighting game, including nerfs for Batman, XP boosts, and new perks. The full patch notes also confirm the release date for Rick and Morty's Morty, the perfect way to mark today's Multiversus season 1 release date.

Starting with Multiversus season 1, XP rewards for wins will be boosted from 5 XP to 10, whereas XP rewards for losses will increase from 3 XP to 5. Season 1 missions will also be easier to complete as their requirements have been reduced. Rather than 75, you will now need to ringout a player from the top of the map 50 times, for example, and provide only 50 assists as opposed to 125. The goal here, seemingly, is to kickstart your experience with the full version of Multiversus by giving you plenty of XP and completed objectives.

Batman players, however, may be a little dismayed. The first half of the Multiversus season 1 patch launches August 15, to be shortly followed by a second half "in the next few days", according to Warner Bros. Games. That second half of the patch will add three recovery frames if Batman misses his ground slide attack, and also create a bigger cooldown window between batarang throws, giving opponents a greater chance to counter. Finn, Iron Giant, and Velma have also received various nerfs, while LeBron has been significantly buffed.

     Genshin Impact codes August 2022 – redeem free primogems

Looking for Genshin Impact codes? MiHoYo's charming open-world game is notoriously easy to lose yourself in, and if you're like us, you're constantly looking out for more Genshin Impact primogems and other handy consumables.

Gathering currency in Genshin Impact can be quite the grind - while you can earn mora and primogems by completing quests such as daily commissions, an injection of extra funds will always be gratefully received. Fortunately, the developers MiHoYo occasionally send out free gifts in the form of Genshin Impact codes that can be redeemed online.

These Genshin Impact codes are released periodically, frequently appearring in MiHoYo's special programs that reveal information about future updates coming to the game soon, but also to celebrate milestones or to coincide with new Genshin Impact events. Most codes also only work for a limited time - so it's a good idea to redeem them as soon as possible in case you miss out. Codes can only be redeemed once per account. Here are all the current Genshin Impact codes for August 2022, and how to redeem them.

     What is the current and next Genshin Impact banner?

Genshin Impact banners adhere to a pretty regular schedule. Each update arrives with a new banner (or two) that lasts three weeks, followed by a second phase of banners which also lasts three weeks (barring any delays), at which point a new major update will drop.

Wondering what the next Genshin Impact banner is? We never know the exact details until banners are officially announced during the livestreams that precede each update. Occasionally, banners don't stick to the typical schedule - most notably, update 1.3 had three two-week banners, so that Hu Tao's banner didn't cross over with the Chinese New Year. We also know that, for Genshin Impact 3.0 through 3.2 at least, these versions will last five weeks instead of six, so each phase will be shorter.

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, which changes weapons every update. Here's everything you need to know about the current and upcoming Genshin Impact banners.

Mindhack, an upcoming visual novel adventure, opens in a jail cell, as a criminal named Unid is brought before you by a pair of armed security guards. Your reputation precedes you: before the accused can even sit down, they call out your unusual ability to hack into the minds of people to 'patch' their flaws, turning their nefarious intentions into fields of flowers. But it's ok, isn't it? After all, the person in front of you has committed a crime and must be rehabilitated; reckless driving, hit and run, and arson.

So, you get to work. Talking to Unid allows you to build a rapport and understand their motivations. You learn about their past. They talk of their difficult childhood, pets, a lack of support - broken systems that left them behind and put them on their current path. It doesn't matter. You have a job to do. And now, with that bit of knowledge, you've found the 'bug' in their programming. After initiating a hack on their brain, you eradicate this flaw, forcefully transforming their mind into a paradise of purity. Unid will never commit another crime again. Have you done the right thing?

Instead of commanding a group of rugged, blood-soaked mercenaries on a turn-based death crawl through unimaginable horrors, how about a neo-Victorian circus troupe brawling with biomechatronic Londoners? That's Circus Electrique, a turn-based RPG that's much more lighthearted than its Darkest Dungeon counterpart (and seemingly main inspiration). But after playing a preview of the game's first mission, there's more than meets the eye in this part steampunk RPG, part circus tycoon management sim.

You play as Amelia, a young, bold journalist returning to London to cover the grand re-opening of the Circus Electrique. A metaphorical spanner gets lobbed into the works, however, as the ceremony is interrupted with news that London's citizens have started attacking each other (more than your average fisticuffs to get on the tube). Oddly, this doesn't seem to have affected Amelia and your motley circus troupe, who venture out into London's dangerous streets to find answers.

psycho-pass movie

As part of the 10th Anniversary Project for Psycho-Pass, another movie, Psycho-Pass Providence, is in development. The key visual features all the main characters who will appear in the movie standing, with protagonist Akane Tsunemori in the middle. [Thanks, Famitsu!]

The Psycho-Pass radio show will also return after ten years. Like before, the hosts will be Tomokazu Seki (who voices Kogami) and Kenji Nojima (who voices Ginoza). From September 3, 2022, the Noitamina Shop and Cafe Theater will release limited merchandise and food items for Psycho-Pass. They will be available for a year at Aqua City in Odaiba. As well, there will be an online exhibition for Psycho-Pass from December 2, 2022 to February 28, 2023.

You can watch the trailer for the Psycho-Pass 10th Anniversary here:

[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkq2JvMBrcM[/embed]

Psycho-Pass first aired in 2012. It is a cyberpunk psychological thriller set in a futuristic and dystopian Japan. The plot follows Akane Tsunemori, who is a novice in the Public Safety Bureau's Criminal Investigation Division. The Sibyl System governs Japan, and it is a computer network that analyzes the citizens' "Crime Coefficient," which is their likeliness to commit crime. When it reaches a certain number, Enforcers from the PSB go to arrest them before they can pose a danger to the public. Psycho-Pass ran for two seasons, before receiving a movie, Psycho-Pass: The Movie. A three-film project, Psycho-Pass: Sinners of the System, opened in 2019, along with Psycho-Pass 3, a third season with adjusted per-episode length.

The Psycho-Pass Providence movie is in development. Psycho-Pass is readily available on streaming services such as Crunchyroll and Amazon Prime Video. A Psycho-Pass game, Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness, released in 2017 on PS4, PC, PS Vita, and Xbox One.

Shin-chan PS4 Release Date

Shin Chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation will release for the PS4 following its launch on the Nintendo Switch earlier this month. The release date for the latest Shin-Chan title will be on August 25, 2022. The release date for the PC version has not yet appeared. [Thanks, Gematsu!]

A listing for the Shin Chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation on the PlayStation Store states that the game is set to release on August 25, 2022. However, the release date has not appeared on the game's official website as of writing. It will only be available digitally.

Neos originally released the game back in July 2021 as a Japan-exclusive title for the Nintendo Switch. Following a relatively successful release, the company announced a global release for the Nintendo Switch, as well as the PS4 and PC. The game follows the titular protagonist Shinnosuke "Shin-chan" Nohara as he joins his family on a summer vacation out in the countryside.

The game's official website detailed some of the notable additions that come with the localization, including English, German, Spanish, and Portuguese language support. The game's Steam page also notes that it will feature Japanese, Korean, and Chinese voiceover and subtitle options.

Shin Chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation will release for the PS4 on August 25, 2022. The game is available immediately on the Nintendo Switch. The PC version will be available via Steam and the Epic Games Store.

madoka magica soul gem household lamp

Movic has released household items that resemble the Soul Gems from Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Rebellion. The Soul Gems it chose to replicate are the ones that belong to Madoka, Ultimate Madoka, Homura, and Devil Homura. Goods include items such as table lamps and a rug. [Thanks, Famitsu!]

Not all of the items are obviously anime merchandise at first glance. This means that those who are uncomfortable with showcasing their love of anime around house guests can place them at home without immediately tipping anyone off. The Soul Gem lamps are very obviously anime but the box stool only has a Soul Gem design on the inside when you open it, for example.

The prices for the items are:

  • Soul Gem table lamp: 19,800 JPY (about $150 USD)
  • Box stool: 19,800 JPY (about $150 USD)
  • Rug: 12,100 JPY (about $91 USD)

[gallery ids="933710,933711,933712" link="file"]

Not all of the items have the same release window. The lamps will come out in December 2022, while the box stools and mats will come out in January 2023. Items are available for pre-order until August 21, 2022, and pre-orders opened on August 3.

UselessUse Laboratory (UUL) is the company behind the Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Rebellion household items. It specializes in anime merchandise that can double as proper interior design. For example, some of the items on its front page are "aromarium" perfumes of the boys from Twisted Wonderland.

The Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Rebellion household items are available for pre-order until August 21, 2022.

Nintendo Switch Sports

Feel like getting your clock cleaned in Nintendo Switch Sports? Nintendo of America is ready to oblige. A new "cheat code" shared by the company unlocks a new level of challenge for players to take on, in the form of Matt himself.

Nintendo of America shared the code on August 12, 2022 via its official account.

https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1558106791715766273

The code is activated by pressing ZR+R +A or Z+L+→ on the game's difficulty select screen. When used in the Nintendo Switch Sports Fencing mode, this unlocks "Legend" difficulty, and summons Matt. Matt is a recurring character from Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort, its sequel. Created using the same tools used to make Mii characters, Matt was the highest-difficulty AI player in Wii Sports' Boxing and Wii Sports Resorts' Chambara modes. Players who defeated Matt in Boxing mode earned a pair of silver boxing gloves to outfit their Miis with. Matt was difficult enough that he became the subject of memes among players nostalgic for Wii Sports.

Now he returns to menace the non-Mii characters populating Nintendo Switch Sports. The cheat code only summons Matt in Fencing mode, but using it in other modes, like the newly-added Soccer, summons Legend-level Mii characters as well.

Nintendo Switch Sports is available on the Switch. Check out Siliconera's review.

These two books are manuscripts and materials from Takebouki, which is Takashi Takeuchi and Nasu Kinoko's doujin circle. While they are doujin books, they have canon material, as well as behind-the-scenes information from properties such as Tsukihime and Fate/Grand Order. Other books, including Type-Moon Manuscript, are physically available at Comiket 100. [Thanks, Famitsu!]

They are available via Toranoana and Melon Books. Though Toranoana does not inherently have international shipping (meaning you will need to get it through a proxy service if you're outside Japan), Melon Books does. Type-Moon Manuscript costs 1650 JPY (around $12.35) and Avalon le Fae Synopsys costs 550 JPY ($4.10).

Type-Moon Manuscript is under the Tsukihime category. But it also encompasses other related works Type-Moon released afterwards. The book has information on the characters or settings from Tsukihime and related works. The information did not make it into the final product, but is canon nonetheless. There are also drafts, as well as a script of a drama CD.

As for Avalon le Fae Synopsys [sic], this is a book that summarizes the plot of Lostbelt 6 prior to when they started working on it. Aside from information that will help to answer some questions from the actual game, you can see some of the initial drafts and ideas. Avalon le Fae Synopsys is made-to-order, which means that you will not be able to purchase it at Comiket 100.

Avalon le Fae Synopsys and Type-Moon Manuscript are available for pre-order online until August 21, 2022. Other "official" items you can purchase at Comiket 100 include Touhou 18.5: 100th Black Market.
