As is common with HoYoVerse presentations, the 1.1 Special Program for Honkai: Star Rail included codes for free Stellar Jades and items. While the global version of the showcase was delayed, the codes are now live and can be redeemed in other regions. These are limited, and they also only apply on May 27, 2023. However, if you do apply them, you'll get a stash of currency like Stellar Jade and consumables to help with your adventure. Here is the full list of new Honkai: Star Rail codes from the Special Program 1.1
As for redeeming those codes, there are two methods. If you are playing Honkai: Star Rail on a PC, you can do so by tapping the in-game "phone" and tapping the Trailblazer Profile button. Underneath it is a button that says "Redemption Code." Tapping that lets you do so. However, if you're playing on a mobile device, you'll need to go to a special website. After logging in, selecting your server, and choosing your character nickname, you can enter the codes to get the items. In both cases, you'll get messages in your in-game inbox that you need to read to claim the freebies. Honkai: Star Rail is immediately available on the PC and mobile devices, and the new codes from the 1.1 Special Program are valid only on May 27, 2023.

Square Enix announced that a new entry in the Dragon Quest Monsters series is currently in development for the Nintendo Switch. The official Dragon Quest Twitter account celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Dragon Quest Monsters series with the reveal. Square Enix shared a video celebrating the history of the Monsters spin-off series, and at the end of it revealed the surprise. The new Dragon Quest Monsters announcement video includes text in both English and Japanese, and you can see it here: https://twitter.com/DragonQuest/status/1662292541503422465 While the announcement of this new entry in the Dragon Quest Monsters series doesn't come with any other information, developers at Square Enix never really lost interest in continuing the series. Dragon Quest Treasures Producer Taichi Inuzuka said to Famitsu in a December 2022 interview that the existence of the new game didn't mean that the Monsters series was over. In fact, Dragon Quest Treasures was initially conceptualized as a Monsters game. The game shares much of its Monster-collecting ideas with the long-running sub-series. The latest entry in the Monsters series was Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 3, released exclusively in Japan for the Nintendo 3DS on March 2016. A new Dragon Quest Monsters game is currently in development for the Nintendo Switch. There is no release date window yet. More information will come in the future.

Good Smile Company announced three figures of Goddess of Victory: Nikke characters at WonHobbyG 2023 Spring. However, two of them are of the same person. There will be scale figures of both Guren and Modernia. However, Modernia will also join the Hyper Body line. There are no unpainted or painted prototypes yet, only announcements. First, here's the Guren figure announcement.
And here's one of the two announcement tweets for the Nikke figures of the character Modernia. As a reminder, the Hyper Body line combines an articulated, finished figure with model kit elements as people create additional parts to use for posing.
We already heard about a different sort of figure inspired by Nikke in 2023. The developer announced a poll to create a life-sized version of one of its characters, Players were able to vote to determine who'd be turned into a figure for that. Goddess of Victory: Nikke is available worldwide on mobile devices and PCs. There's no release window for the Good Smile Company Nikke figures of the characters Guren or Modernia.

It seems the Silent Hill 2 Pyramid Head Pop Up Parade figure is inching closer to its inevitable release. At WonHobbyG 2023 Spring, Good Smile Company shared the painted prototype of the budget figure. It last showed up in February 2022 as an unpainted prototype. Here's a closer look at how the figure is turning out. Since it is part of the budget line, people should expect to pay around $34.99 for it once it launches.
This character's shown up in various forms from Good Smile Company over the years. For example, there is a figma version. That was so popular that it even netted a rerelease. We'll get to see this character in a game again sometime in the future. Konami announced back in October 2022 that a Silent Hill 2 remake is in development. It's being worked on by Bloober Team, which also created Layers of Fear and The Medium. There's no release window for the Silent Hill 2 Pyramid Head Pop Up Parade figure. However, given that we're seeing a painted prototype here, it could mean it will show up in stores before 2023 ends.

As part of the WonHobbyG 2023 Spring reveals, Good Smile Company offered updates on the VShojo Kson and Nazuna Amemiya Nendoroids. Both of them first appeared back in February 2023. At that point, we only saw chibi concept art suggesting how both could end up looking. Now, both of them are at the "unpainted prototype" phase. First, here's how the Kson Nendoroid looks. The pose has her wielding her sword. There are also already glasses on the prototype.
Next, here's the Nazuna Nendoroid. She's holding her staff for her pose. It also seems the figure will include her hat.
In the past, Good Smile Company released Nendoroids of other VShojo Vtubers. For example, there was one of Ironmouse. It had also announced a figure of a performer who are no longer with the company. However, there's been no official cancellation of that one since the Vtuber's departure. There's no release date available yet for the Kson or Nazuna Amemiya VShojo Nendoroids.

As part of the video game figures appearing at Good Smile Company's WonHobby G 2023 Spring event, the Guilty Gear Strive Bridget Nendoroid showed up. Initially, the company only shared general art of her. That appeared in February 2023. Now the unpainted prototype is here. Here's a closer look at the Guilty Gear Strive Bridget Nendoroid. She's wielding her yo-yo in the photo. However, Roger didn't appear alongside the prototype. It's unknown if a version of the bear will be included for posing purposes. However, the handcuff "belt" does appear around her waist.
A few Guilty Gear figures in this line already appeared. Dizzy was the first one to appear in 2021, for example. After that, a Ramlethal Valentine one showed up. Like Bridget, that figure was based on the character's appearance in Guilty Gear Strive. Good Smile Company also already shared a Pop Up Parade figure of Bridget. There's no release window date yet for the Guilty Gear Strive Bridget Nendoroid. The game is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC.

Good Smile Company shared an update on its Persona 5 Royal Kasumi "Violet" Yoshizawa Nendoroid at WonHobbyG 2023 Spring. We first learned the figure was on the way back in February 2023. At that point, only concept art of the character appeared. Now she's shown up as an unpainted prototype. As mentioned in the original announcement, Kasumi is wearing her Phantom Thief attire for this Persona 5 Royal Nendoroid. In the preliminary pose, she's also wielding a rapier. Her mask is also on for this photo.
With Kasumi's impending release, that means all members of the Phantom Thieves will have been turned into Nendoroids. In some cases, they appeared both in their casual attire or school uniforms or their Phantom Thief costumes. In the case of Joker, Good Smile Company is also working on a Nendoroid Doll version of the hero. Some characters even appeared in the Hello Good Smile and Pop Up Parade lines as well. There's no release window yet for the Persona 5 Royal Kasumi 'Violet' Yoshizawa figure. The game is available now on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.

When events come around, Good Smile Company often announces new figures. At WonHobbyG Spring 2023, it revealed it is working on a Resident Evil 4 Nendoroid of Leon S. Kennedy. It didn't specify if it is inspired by the original game or the remake. The company also only showed concept art of the character in a "chibi" form, so it is fairly early in development. This means we may not see it until the end of 2023 or 2024. Here's the official concept art for the Resident Evil 4 Leon Nendoroid.
This will actually be the second Resident Evil figure in this line. A Chris Redfield one was announced in honor of the series' 20th anniversary. That ended up appearing in 2017. It only appeared once and never got a rerelease. There's no release window yet for the Resident Evil 4 Nendoroid of Leon S. Kennedy. The Resident Evil 4 remake is available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC. There will also be a VR mode version for the PlayStation VR 2. The post Resident Evil 4 Nendoroid of Leon S. Kennedy Teased appeared first on Siliconera. |

As Good Smile Company continued its WonHobbyG Spring announcements, it confirmed four Oshi no Ko Pop Up Parade figures and two Nendoroids are in development. All of them are fairly early along in development. As such, the photos for all of them are unpainted prototypes. There will be Aqua and Kana Nendoroids, and Ai, Aqua, Ruby, and Kana figures are planned. First, here are the Aqua and Kana Oshi no Ko Nendoroids. She'll be wearing her hat for her figure. Both seem to be wearing their school uniforms. No information came up regarding possible ones for Ai or Ruby at this event.
And here are the prototypes for the four Pop Up Parade figures in this collection. This budget line features non-standard scale figures that are about 170mm tall. They always cost around ¥4,800/$34.99. While Good Smile Company may occasionally sell variants that feature different poses, these are static ones that don't come with any additional parts for extra options.
There's no release window yet for the Oshi no Ko Pop Up Parade figures or Nendoroids. The anime adaptation is streaming on HIDIVE, while the manga is being localized by Yen Press. The post Oshi no Ko Nendoroids and Pop Up Parade Figures Coming appeared first on Siliconera. |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Saturday, May 27, 2023 12:58 AM  In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you can gather equipment beloved by heroes of the past. Sometimes, those heroes are your direct ancestors. Sometimes, they're heroes who battled evil and sacrificed everything. Typically, if you can find gear they left behind, it's going to be very useful. Here is our guide on where to get the Van Medoh Divine Helm in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Tears of the Kingdom – where to get the Vah Medoh Divine Helm The Vah Medoh Divine Helm is one of several divine helms available in the game. We previously covered the location of another such helm in our guide telling how to get the treasure at Lizard Lakes. To get the Vah Medoh Divine Helm, you'll need to explore a cave in the Hebra Mountains region. Although the helmet provides protection from the cold, you must brave such elements to find it. Therefore, you should probably wear two pieces of the Snowquill armor set, or bring along some elixi... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Saturday, May 27, 2023 12:01 AM  The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom presents Link with all manner of weapons, but some of them aren't obviously useful. Some of them don't even seem like weapons at all, and yet you'll find they offer tremendous benefits in combat. Here is our guide telling you where to find and farm Puffshroom in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Tears of the Kingdom – where to find and farm Puffshroom The Puffshroom is a useful item because you can use it to deal with enemy mobs. If you are getting swarmed by foes, toss out a few Puffshrooms (or fuse them to some arrows). The resulting chaos should confuse your foes long enough for you to launch some sneak attacks and quickly end the fight. To find and farm Puffshrooms, simply head to the Depths. You will learn they growing all over that expansive region, which has damp temperatures and a decent amount of water but no sunlight. The Puffshrooms don't thrive out in the open, even in the Depth... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, May 26, 2023 10:14 PM  The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom allows you to find and use all sorts of fruit on your journey through Hyrule. Often, you can fuse it with weapons or even toss it at obstacles to clear a path forward to your next challenge. Here is our guide telling you where to get Splash Fruit in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Tears of the Kingdom – where to get Splash Fruit Splash Fruit serves a few purposes, but its greatest moments come when you're trying to figure out how to activate Upland Zorana Skyview Tower, or how to beat Sludge Like. Essentially, it's really good at cleaning up sludge you might encounter. To get Splash Fruit, find it near Lanayru Great Spring or in West Necluda. If you wish, you can eventually purchase it from shops. However, it grows commonly enough in the wilds that I prefer to spend my precious rupees on other things.
