HoYoVerse shared details about the Genshin Impact focus four-star characters people might get on the Nahida or Nilou rerun banner. Dori, Layla, and Shinobu will appear more often on both. The developer also shared that it will run until May 2, 2023, following the 3.6 update on April 12, 2023, and noted what weapons will appear on the Epitome Invocation. The focus four-star Genshin Impact characters picked seem to be ones that will encourage elemental reactions with Nahida and Nilou. Both Dori and Shinobu are Electro characters, while Layla is a Cryo character. As a Dendro character, Nahida can work with Electro ones to trigger Quicken and Aggravate. Meanwhile, Hydro characters like Nilou can cause the Electro-charged effect with the Electro element or Frozen with Cryo. As for the Epitome Invocation, the two five-star weapons are the A Thousand Floating Dreams catalyst for Nahida and Key of Khaj-Nisut for Nilou. The four-star ones are the Dragon's Bane polearm, Favonius Greatsword claymore, Sacrificial Fragments catalyst, The Stringless bow, and Xiphos' Moonlight sword. Genshin Impact is available for the PS4, PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and the Nahida and Nilou rerun banner wishes will run from April 12, 2023 until May 2, 2023. HoYoVerse also teased that the 3.7 update will bring with it a new Dendro character from Inazuma named Kirara.

Tekken series Director Katsuhiro Harada talked about Tekken 8 features like crossplay and rollback netcode on Twitter over the weekend. On April 8, 2023, he answered questions about the upcoming game and confirmed it would offer both features. He also talked about Tekken 8's character roster, noting it featured new assets and would have a larger launch roster than Street Fighter 6. He also suggested high specs might be best for native 4K. First, Harada noted that there will be crossplay in Tekken 8. He also noted he tried to include it in Tekken 7, but Microsoft and Sony got in the way.
Next, Harada mentioned that rollback netcode will be in Tekken 8 and the team didn't announce it or crossplay is because of people's comments.
Harada didn't mentioned exactly how many characters will be in the Tekken 8 launch roster. However, he did say, "I think it's a lot more than Capcom-san."
Finally, Harada mentioned that people who want to play in native 4K should make sure their PCs have high specs.
Tekken 8 is in development for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam. The post Harada Talked About the Tekken 8 Crossplay, Rollback Netcode, and Launch Characters appeared first on Siliconera. |

There will be a total of six Blu-Rays and DVDs for Demon Slayer season 3, which will cover the Swordsmith Village Arc. The first one will come out on June 21, 2023 in Japan, and it will include a recording of a Tokyo stage that took place in February 2023. This stage was the first time that the voice actors for the demons have come together for the first time. [Thanks, Oricon!] As a reminder, here is the cast list for the Upper Kizuki members:
The cover for the first Blu-Ray and DVD of Demon Slayer season 3 features Mitsuri Kanroji. She is the Love Hashira and a major supporting character for the Swordsmith Village Arc. She had made a short appearance during the first season when Tanjiro first met all of the Hashira. During the stage, the various voice actors discussed their views and theories on acting. The first Blu-Ray and DVD for Demon Slayer season 3 will also have two more stage recordings in it as bonuses. There was one on February 4, which features the voice actors for the main four characters. Then, on February 5, the guests were Katsuyuki Konishi, Kengo Kawanishi, and Kana Hanazawa. These three are, respectively, the voice actors for Uzui, Muichiro, and Mitsuri. Demon Slayer is streaming on services like Crunchyroll and Netflix. The first Blu-Ray and DVD for season 3 will come out on June 21, 2023 in Japan. The post Demon Slayer Season 3 Blu-Ray Will Come Out in June 2023 appeared first on Siliconera. |

After a strong opening day, The Super Mario Bros. Movie continues to break records when it comes to the box office. It has made $204.6 million domestically after five days, beating Transformer: Revenge of the Fallen's $200 million records. $204.6 million of the movie's gross box office sales came from domestic sales, and international sales are around $173 million. That means the global opening sales for The Super Mario Bros Movie are around $377.2 million right now. This is a record-breaking amount of money for an animated film. [Thanks, Deadline!] Part of The Super Mario Bros Movie's success could come not only from the nostalgia, but how the movie is an "everybody movie" rather than one for just the whole family. There is a very even split in terms of attendance over all hours, averaging at around 25%, with most of them going between 1pm and 4pm (28%). Jim Orr, who is the Domestic Distribution Chief of Universal, stated that "audience of all ages and backgrounds" have gone to see the movie, which combines Nintendo's "iconic characters" with Illumination's "unbeatable filmmaking and storytelling prowess." The Super Mario Bros Movie is available in theaters. It will make its debut in Japanese theaters on April 28, 2023.

The Persona 5 Royal DLC Bundle id free for the PS4 on the PlayStation Store. This is on the US PSN, which means that it will only work with an English version of the game. It includes the Kasumi Costume Bundle, the Battle Bundle, and the Persona Bundle. The bundle will also have "6 individual sets of DLC." [Thanks, Wario64!] When Atlus ported Persona 5 Royal onto other platforms, such as the Nintendo Switch, it came with all of the DLC. Aside from new costumes that you could put on your characters (which would play different music in battle), you could use certain Persona that don't exist in the base game. These include references to past games, such as Izanagi and Orpheus. This may be why those with the PS4 version of the game were not eligible for a free or discounted upgrade to a PS5 version. It is unclear if the free DLC bundle will only be available for a limited time. However, since the PlayStation Store page for it does not include a time limit, you will likely be able to download the pack until Sony terminates the PS4 PSN store or Atlus removes it. Persona 5 Royal is available on the PS4, PS5, Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch. The DLC bundle is free on the US PlayStation Store for the PS4.

Yet another cat girl will be running around Teyvat soon, as HoYoVerse revealed the splash art for Kirara. She'll be a Dendo character, though it's unclear at this point how rare she will be and what weapon she will use. Kirara will be an Inazuman character, as she is a courier for Komaniya Express. https://twitter.com/GenshinImpact/status/1645308130857820161 Kirara's Constellation is Arcella, and she is a Gold Level Courier of the Komaniya Express. So far, she is the only character with ties to the Komaniya Express. No one mentioned it in their voice lines either. Unlike the other cat girl Diona in Genshin Impact, Kirara is actually a nekomata. That means she has two tails instead of one. In Japanese folklore, nekomata are cat demons that are created after a domestic cat has grown old and transformed into a yokai. In terms of when to expect Kirara in Genshin Impact, it's likely that she'll be in Version 3.7. This is because HoYoVerse usually reveals the splash art for characters a version before their playable debut. This was what happened with Kaveh and Baizhu, who will appear as new characters in the upcoming Version 3.6. Genshin Impact is readily available worldwide on the PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices.The latest update, Version 3.6, will go live on April 12, 2023. Kirara will likely debut in Version 3.7 of Genshin Impact, with more information on her kit, character, and voice actors appearing later.

According to Maaya Sakamoto, there might not be any new Evangelion content for a while. For reference, Sakamoto voices Mari in the Rebuild of Evangelion movies. While recording bonuses for the physical Blu-Ray version of Evangelion 3.0+1.11, she had the chance to converse with Hideaki Anno, the director of the movie. He told her that she was at the final recording for the foreseeable future. [Thanks, ryokutya2089!] This information comes from the April 2023 issue of the Newtype magazine. Anno was present when the cast recorded bonus materials for Evangelion 3.0+1.11 and was the one who directed them. Sometime during recording, Sakamoto asked him if this was the last time that they would be recording. However, since Sakamoto is not directly involved with the production of Evangelion, she is not entirely sure about the future of the franchise. Evangelion 3.0+1.11 Thrice Upon a Time came out in 2021 and is the final film of the Rebuild of Evangelion movie series. The Blu-Ray and DVD for the film came out in early March 2023, about two years after the theatrical release. Rebuild of Evangelion retells the Neon Genesis Evangelion story but in an alternate continuity than the original. Therefore, it has a different ending and the characters are somewhat different from their TV counterparts. Rebuild of Evangelion 3.0+1.11 is available on Blu-Ray and DVD in Japan. It is streaming on Amazon. The post Maaya Sakamoto Confirms Evangelion 3.0+1.11 is the End appeared first on Siliconera. |

The strongest Typhlosion will appear in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet as an Tera Raid event. It will be a 7-star raid, and Typhlosion will have a Ghost Tera Type. This would make it similar to Hisuian Typhlosion if you Terastallize. However, it will still look like the normal Johto Typhlosion. [Thanks, Inside Games!] You'll be able to find the 7-star Ghost Tera Typhlosion raids from black crystal dens around Paldea. Since Typhlosion is not native to Paldea, this event (and future ones featuring Typhlosion) will be one of the few chances players will have to catch the Pokemon. Typhlosion is one of the starter Pokemon from both Pokemon Gold/Silver and Pokemon Legends Arceus. Since previous raids put Samurott and Decidueye in the game, players who participated in all of them should have the three Arceus starters. The Typhlosion Tera Raid in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will run from April 14-17, 2023. It will then re-run from April 21-24, 2023. You will only be able to capture one Typhlosion per save. This means that if you caught one in the first few days of the raid, you won't be able to get another one during the re-run. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are available on the Nintendo Switch.
