PCGamesN Monday, March 6, 2023 4:47 PM  A recent Genshin Impact leak suggests that HoYoverse will be adding another weekly boss to its anime game - a giant serpent named Apep. In the world of Teyvat, Apep is known as a friend of King Deshret, and the parent of the Wenut serpents found all across the Sumeru desert.

PCGamesN Monday, March 6, 2023 12:20 PM  Looking for some games like Fall Guys? Equal parts infuriating and addictive, Fall Guys is the brightest, bounciest battle royale game we've ever failed repeatedly at - and we have failed at a lot of battle royales. Even though Fall Guys itself is now free to play, after one too many gleeful hours toddling around and bouncing out of the competition, you may be wondering what other fun-yet-competitive party games you can pick up and play with friends, family, or even strangers. Well, wonder no more, my wobbly bean. As we gush about in our Fall Guys review, the 'original' - as it were - is a fun, mindless jaunt through colourful rounds, and it's as enjoyable as it sounds. Thanks to that flawless formula, a couple of controversial games have tried to directly imitate the aesthetic and Takeshi's Castle-esque gameplay of Fall Guys. This list, though, encompasses a variety of multiplayer games - from those with a similar eye-burning colour scheme, to rage-inducing battle royale games, and strategic puzzle games with hilarious and mind-bending limb physics, rather than exact rip-offs. So, whatever aspect of the Mediatonic battle royale you find most appealing, there's sure to be something in this list of games like Fall Guys that you'll love just as much.

PCGamesN Monday, March 6, 2023 12:32 PM  When learning how to deflect in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, practising on the weaker enemies where the consequences aren't as serious is important. You'll likely get hit a few times as you learn, perhaps even die, but you must learn the perfect moment to deflect attacks - or parry, riposte, counter, if you like - to make it far in the Soulslike game. It's also worth experimenting with the types of attacks you can deflect, as each time you successfully do so can make all the difference when taking down monstrous foes. Of course, you've read the tutorial that explains that pressing the dodge button once while holding a movement direction has you deflect an oncoming attack. However, there's a big difference between knowing how to deflect in principle and executing it consistently, especially against the Wo Long bosses. These are the types of attacks you can deflect and why deflecting is essential to getting far in the RPG game.

From the classic physics chaos of Half-Life 2 to Halo Infinite's beautifully rendered worlds, these are the finest FPS games. For more than two decades, FPS games have been the driving force of the PC games industry. They've let us travel from the depths of Hell in Doom to the outer reaches of space in Titanfall 2. Others have taken us on a detour through the likes of Half-Life 2's zombie-infested Ravenholm, while some have embraced futuristic cities. Some of these games are old, others are new, and all are great. Wolfenstein 2's amazing campaign; Rainbow Six Siege's tight tactical multiplayer; Overwatch 2 and its vast array of amazing heroes.

Our guide to the best Destiny 2 Titan builds highlights character strengths, addressing specifically what players need to succeed in PvP or PvE in the free PC game. They're based on the Arc 3.0 meta, but given that many players find the Arc 3.0 overhaul notably weaker than its Void and Solar precursors, the builds are not necessarily in the Arc elemental subclass.

Thankfully, we still got a pretty decent showing of the new open-world game at the Xbox and Bethesda showcase over the summer. Whenever the Starfield release date ends up being, it has the potential to be one of the best PC games ever, so should be well worth the wait. We haven't really heard much about the game since, which has left the Starfield community a bit thirsty for new information, but we're confident Bethesda won't keep us in the dark for too much longer.

PCGamesN Monday, March 6, 2023 11:15 AM  If you're looking for the Redfall release date, we've got you covered. The co-op vampire shooter comes from developers Arkane, best known for building rich, very deliberate worlds, and weaving intricate stories around their fascinating creations. This time, instead of a space station, or the clockwork city of Dunwall, they've focused on a small tourist town in the eastern US. There are vampires, sure. A sniper with an undead eye? Check. They even have a cryptozoologist, because why not. The cast of Redfall characters is varied enough, but how will this co-op game fare when compared to Arkane's other creations? Many have likened Redfall to co-op shooters like Left 4 Dead, although it's allegedly going to be more like Far Cry than the aforementioned zombie shooter. Whatever happens, Redfall is shaping up to be one of the best PC games this year, here's what we know about its release date, all the trailers, gameplay, and more.

We might have been spoilt by excellent games in the series already, but, frankly, we're ready to dive back into the Elder Scrolls universe - they're still some of the best PC games ever made, and it's likely that Elder Scrolls 6 will follow suit.

While you can absolutely win games and climb the ranked ladder with nearly anyone in the lower ELOs, the changes that come via champion and item balancing can tip the scales enough that some picks are almost mandatory.

With the release of Catalyst, Apex Legends players now have 23 Legends to choose from when taking on the Apex Games. Each Legend has their own set of skills, playstyle, and personality, with plenty of choice for every type of player, whether you like to be aggressive, defensive, or offensive to the senses (cough – Caustic – cough). Your ideal Apex Legends pick could depend on your own strengths and weaknesses – experience, game sense, movement skills, and aim all factor in, as does your squad composition and whether you're playing with friends or a team of strangers. That said, although all the characters are relatively balanced, there are some Legends who have pulled away from the pack due to their powerful abilities, and some who are more niche, as you can see if you look at the pick rates.

We've played more than 30 hours and survived through day 12, having experimented with different starting strategies across multiple playthroughs in both single- and multiplayer. It's a fantastic game — though not for the faint of heart, and albeit not without its flaws. There's a nagging feeling that Sons of the Forest may have bitten off slightly more than it can chew. The game is certainly fun and engaging, and for only $30, it feels worth the price of admission, especially since the developer promises continuous updates. But it's important to note just how much it feels like The Forest. Sure, there's more vegetation, a bigger map, new build mechanics, more variety in crafting and weaponry, and creepier mutants — but it sort of feels like you've seen it all before. Perhaps that's the point: to take what worked and build from there, literally and figuratively.

The Nintendo of Europe Twitter account offered another look at the new Bayonetta spin-off. A video clip shows off a cutscene in which Cereza meets the demon Cheshire for the first time in Bayonetta Origins. It also explains why the demon looks like the stuffed animal her mother made her and offers a look at how the story is conveyed throughout the game. The video is set in the Avalon Forest. In Bayonetta Origins, Cereza heads off there after a dream of a young boy telling her she can find the power to save her mother inside. Once there, she ends up summoning the demon that becomes Cheshire. They end up inhabiting the body of the stuffed cat her mom made for her. In this Bayonetta Origins cutscene, we see Cereza and Cheshire properly introducing themselves to each other. The demon that will become known as Cheshire noted that it didn't have a name prior to that. Cereza then asks if she call them by the same name as her toy. The interaction sets the stage for their relationship as they follow the white wolf deeper into the forest.
Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon will release on March 17, 2023 for the Nintendo Switch. The post Bayonetta Origins Cutscene Shows Cereza Meeting Cheshire appeared first on Siliconera. |

Nintendo announced that the service that allows users to link Nintendo Network IDs, used on the 3DS and Wii U, with Nintendo Accounts will stop functioning in March 2024. This service allows users to consolidate the balance of the 3DS and Wii U eShop accounts to be usable on the Switch's eShop. This service also makes it so Nintendo eShop purchases are linked to the email used in the Nintendo Account. [Thanks, Famitsu!] As Nintendo will stop 3DS and Wii U eShop service on March 27, 2023, any unused balance on a 3DS or Wii U console will no longer be usable on either one. However, by linking a Nintendo Network ID with the Nintendo Account required to access the Switch's internet features, the remaining balance on a 3DS or Wii U console can be transferred to the Switch. This feature will no longer be possible on March 2024, as Nintendo will halt the service. The official Nintendo support website offered instructions on how to link a Nintendo Network ID with a Nintendo Account so that the funds can carry over to the Nintendo Switch eShop. As a reminder, the 3DS and Wii U eShops will close down on March 27, 2023. Users won't be able to make purchases on the online stores, but already purchased games are still accessible to download.

Square Enix shared some new information through the FFVII Remake official Twitter account about the song that plays during the fight against Nero the Sable, the final boss of the Episode InterMISSION DLC campaign in FFVII Remake Intergrade. The theme is composed using three different methods. All of them feature the double bass as a common instrument, one associated with him throughout. You can listen to the song used during the fight against Nero the Sable, named in English after the character, here: https://twitter.com/FFVIIR_CLOUD/status/1632667335973646336 The three different musical pieces that make up Nero's boss fight in FFVII Remake are composed using different techniques. The first part of the song has a heavy emphasis on its use of the synthesizer, the second one predominantly features fast and passionate chamber music, and the third type of composition uses an orchestra and choir.

Agnea is great dancer in Octopath Traveler 2 for two reasons. One is that her story is refreshing, compared to darker and heavier tales like Osvald's and Throne's. There's still corruption and you'll meet villains, but she's a very positive and lighthearted figure. The other is that it's very clear going in what kind of role she'll play in a party. This can help a lot and make it easier when deciding who to bring along on adventures. How Do You Recruit Agnea in Octopath Traveler 2If you didn't start with Agnea in Octopath Traveler 2, you'll find her in her hometown of Cropdale. How Does Agnea Work in Octopath Traveler 2Agnea is around to make your party stronger and your enemies weaker. Can you have her attack? Sure. I mean, at that point, give her a mage-type secondary job like cleric or scholar. But you really want to take advantage of her ability to make others better or worse, especially since her All Together Now Latent Power "limit break" can make single target skills, with limitations, affect all allies or enemies instead of just one. Here is the full list of dancer skills Agnea can learn in Octopath Traveler 2. Keep in mind All Together Now will spread ones that aren't designed to only hit her or are divine skills like Sealticge's Seduction.
Try to ensure you learn Peacock Strut, Stimulate, and Bewildering Grace as soon as possible! As for support skills, all of the ones for a dancer help make buffs last longer or increase her Latent Power gauge. Which is good, because you want both things. So definitely get The Show Goes On by learning four job skills to extend the duration of effects and Invigorate and Inspire to fill the Latent Power gauge by learning seven. Also, always make sure Agnea has an NPC with her! Her talent is Dance Session. This means the NPC she recruited will offer an additional buff with her dance skills. That NPC buff will be given to an ally wit skills like Peacock Strut or to Agnea herself with one like Dagger Dance.
What About Agnea Octopath Traveler 2 Path Actions?Agnea has two. Both are pretty good, but I found one more useful than others. The Octopath Traveler 2 dancer can Allure or Entreat. During the day, you have a percentage-based chance of getting an NPC to follow Agnea with Allure. This is the "good" one! Sometimes, telling Partitio to Hire someone can be expensive, you won't have the food to make Ochette Befriend them, or Temenos could be at too low of a level to Guide. So a percentage-based one can get someone way too strong or expensive to join. Now, Entreat isn't a "bad" item acquisition skill! It's a guaranteed way to get items for free from NPC inventories. However, it is a level-based one. So if you don't focus on Agnea enough, she won't be as useful as Throne or Partitio for taking things. Which Secondary Jobs are Good for Agnea in Octopath Traveler 2Agnea is basically here to help. This means ideally putting her in a position where she can do even more good. Since she already access to a dagger, I'd avoid the thief role. So instead, pair up Agnea and her dancer skills and abilities with the hunter, cleric, or scholar. (Though if you do have access to the secret arcanist job, that's good for her too.) The hunter works for Agnea very well. It gives her access to the axe and bow, just in case. It also means more buffs and debuffs. Take Aim and Leghold Trap especially are a big help, especially if she uses All Together Now to make them hit every enemy. I'd almost suggest the cleric over the scholar, just because it goes with her whole "helping" nature. Her having access to a heal ability, as well as the ability to apply Prayer to the Flame or Sacred Shield to every ally instead of just one is fantastic. But since she is good with magic, giving her a scholar role to let her occasionally deal damage isn't a bad idea either. Octopath Traveler 2 is available for the Switch, PS4, PS5, and PC. A demo is available. The post What to Know About Agnea the Dancer in Octopath Traveler 2 appeared first on Siliconera. |

While steadily waiting for June so I can mangle folks with Marisa in Street Fighter VI, I needed something to fill the hole in my life. Street Fighter: Duel has been an interesting trip into the Street Fighter universe in the meantime, although my opinion of the game keeps shifting back and forth as I play it. As an RPG, it brings a (not unexpectedly) different feel to the franchise that rubbed me wrong at first. Even so, I found myself continually returning to the game to play a little bit here and there. It's not something for all Street Fighter fans, but if you're interested in something a bit more managerial, it will keep pulling you back in. Starting with Ryu or Ken (your choice), you'll assemble a roster of fighters from all over the globe to beat up a nigh-endless supply of other world warriors and thugs. You'll do this in three-on-three matches (with one fighter in reserve). The group will auto-attack with basic blows as your special bar builds up. Once you have a single bar, you can use a Super move that will slam foes or cause one of several different effects depending on the character. Once you use one of these moves, you can get your other characters to do a free special follow-up (combo) with several different levels of attacks or abilities. These attacks have different levels (1, 2, or 3), so you'll have to pick the moves you want in numerical order. This encourages you to think about the interplay between your characters to an extent in Street Fighter: Duel. Poison has a solid level 2 attack early in the game that smashes multiple targets. Mad Ryu has a level 2 attack that just slams a single foe, though. So, after you've done your special and your level 1 follow-up, you'll need to choose whether you want the big single hit or the party-wide strike from Poison. Having both in your party gives you some good options on what you CAN do, though. This isn't just about attacks, either, as Elena has a level 1 ability that heals, so there are lots of options you will want to weigh while making your team.
That interplay between characters gets deeper in several ways. Your backup fourth character brings their powers into a fight even when they're not active in combat and can use their leveled specials in your combos. I keep Elena as my backup so I can call for her healing whenever it's needed while keeping my attack-based characters in the front. Characters also have passive abilities, like Elena's ability to buff the character with the highest Attack power at the start of the fight. Again, she can do this from the backup slot, giving further boosts and powers to think about. Street Fighter: Duel also lets you set up assist fighters that connect to your main party characters. These folks won't join you in a fight, but their connection to the main party character can give them huge damage and HP bonuses (especially if you've spent some of your currencies to level these extra characters). You're also able to connect the EX Moves of other characters to your party so that you can use them in a fight even if that character isn't there. Cody is a million miles away from the fights I'm doing, but I can still call on his Chains of Guilt move to smack a foe around and make them move slower. What I like about these systems is that it gets you to think a great deal about who you bring and how your characters' moves will play off of one another. It also makes you think about which characters you should grow so that they can boost your main party even if they won't be joining it. It also encouraged me to unlock abilities and strengthen them even if I had no intention of using the character, as their abilities could be brought into combat in all kinds of interesting ways.
All that said, you may not feel like you have to think about these things for a good few hours while playing Street Fighter: Duel. The early fights are all pushovers for a good while. I didn't feel challenged at all until I was nearing the end of the fourth chapter in Challenge Mode, which took a decent amount of time to reach. You can involve yourself in the combat by hitting the buttons for the special moves yourself, or you can tell the game to auto attack and it will make fairly decent decisions on what special moves to use. I just told the game to play itself for a long time and didn't feel much involvement in whether I won or lost. These first few hours were when I felt a bit lost playing the game, as I didn't feel much connection to fight outcomes. I just watched the little interpretations of the characters beat on one another while I played or worked on something else. I didn't really care because I seemed to win all of the matches without trying. I just had to stop to Promote (level up) a character here and there using fighter experience and cash (and sometimes Breakstones) that I unlocked for winning matches and for literally doing nothing (you idly build up currency and items whether you're playing or not). I felt utterly detached from the game at this point. As the challenge level increases, though, the systems start to matter more and Street Fighter: Duel becomes more compelling. As you start losing more frequently, you pay more attention to the systems mentioned above so you can keep winning. You also start focusing more on the other glittering, shiny activities and unlocks you can take part in.
Most important of these is the character unlock system where you can get new fighters graded C, B, A, and S (naturally, there is also C+, B+, etc.). You do this by spending one of several types of currencies to pull characters one at a time or ten at a time (ten at a time gives you a guaranteed decent character). Getting a fistful of low grade fighters for your hard-earned Gems (which take a fair amount longer to get, but you can accrue in many, many ways) can be irritating, but the game lets you combine these low-tier fighters to make better ones. You do this with the Awaken feature, which lets you combine 3 of the same fighter and letter grade character into one letter grade better. Take 3 B Dans and you'll make a B+ Dan. It doesn't always have to be three of the exact same, but usually you need a few similar ones. In this way, you can slowly make a better fighter out of the clutter you unlock, and can possibly get something really useful even if you get a bad pull. If you suddenly get a really neat character you want to try, Street Fighter: Duel lets you reset your previously-leveled characters so you can use their upgrade items to improve your new fighter. It doesn't have any special cost and you can do it as much as you like, allowing you to frequently shuffle your party to try out new characters. It's slightly annoying that you have to take a few minutes to level up your new character instead of having them just instantly switch to the level of the character they're swapping with, but it's not terrible. Then again, you can also just use the game's Limit Break feature to have a handful of backup characters reach the same level as your best fighters for free. This feature unlocks later on, but it lets you take a handful of fighters and instantly (but temporarily) slot them into this feature to get them to the same level as your top-shelf fighters. This is great for getting big boosts out of your Assist Fighters and also so you can play with your roster a bit easier. You can only swap someone in those Limit Break slots once every day or so (unless you want to pay out some gems), but I found I could easily get a lot of experimentation out of the basic slots.
That was good, because once the game got hard, it got HARD. You will eventually reach a point where you just get slammed in Challenge Mode and no amount of fiddling with let you move on. You can wait to pick up enough items while idling, but the game has a bunch of other modes to play with instead of puttering around doing nothing. There is the VS Arena that lets you fight against other teams online, the Supreme Fist mode where you fight floors worth of enemy groups, Bounties where you can slot characters to do little side quests for items, Global Operations that have you exploring and solving puzzles as you fight, and more. There's lots of folks for you to beat up most of the time. Street Fighter: Duel has all kinds of fiddly little unlocks to keep you loaded with items as well. You get login gifts, missions with daily and weekly rewards, events that give you stuff, a 7-day growth chart that gives items and characters, a little roulette that lets you win items for play time, and a minigame where you tap items as they parachute down. Most of these unlock or give you items for stuff you'd do anyway, so they're a nice bonus when you're running out of upgrade items. Plus, you're always accruing something from the idle items as well. Sometimes it can be hard to figure out what's an unlock on the screen, though. Lots of pictures of treasure chests and piles of cash feel like they're just background elements or decorations, but they're actually how you unlock items in the game. I kept wondering where my stuff was, only to find that I had to tap on a header that just looked like some nice art to show my progress. Be sure to tap around, as you may have tons of free stuff just waiting for you to take. The game does try to indicate that there's something for you to grab with little exclamation points, so just be sure to tap on everything.
All of that said, I still had a hard time getting into the game until I realized it was more of a management game than an RPG. Inputting the attacks felt like I was just doing the same rote actions over and over again, only with different button orders depending on my party. I didn't feel very invested in the combat because I wasn't thinking much about it during the actual fight. This feels so counter to fighting games where the moment-to-moment play demands every ounce of your focus. It didn't feel right for Street Fighter, and I started to drift away. It didn't help that I came to this game due to my Street Fighter 6 itch, but this title seems to exclusively draw from Street Fighter 4. When I thought of it as a management game, Street Fighter: Duel began to click with me. I liked checking in on my unlocked items and possible upgrades, dabbling in the various modes to see if my character adjustments were enough to push forward a bit farther, and then logging off for a while. Treating it like this and working within the items the game gave me (I haven't spent any money in the first fifteen-some hours) has been interesting and just the right amount of fun diversion while goofing off on my phone on a break. That said, you do start to feel the diminishing returns after a couple of days. The items and experience you gain while idling don't get you very far. You start pulling worse characters. It all comes with the territory in this genre, but it's still a bit of a drag to want to play more, but know that the game is limiting you to encourage you to spend money on it. Gems seem far too expensive to purchase alone (enough Gems for a 10-character pull is $65.99 CAN), although the shop does offer many bonuses and cheaper packs to pick up several different items. I want to play this game more, but I feel the diminishing returns and high cost are deterring me from enjoying the game as much as I could. That's a shame, as I'm genuinely enjoying mucking around with this game. Street Fighter: Duel may not give you that hit of Street Fighter 6 while you wait for that main release, and it might not click with you if you come in with the wrong mindset, but it's a well-crafted idle managerial experience in making Ryu beat people down. The systems are tightly interwoven in ways that make all of its items and unlocks feel relevant even if they're not exactly what you want, and it can feel quite satisfying as a playful diversion to pick at here and there. Once you know what it is and what to expect from the game, it's a genuinely compelling experience (that I've honestly booted up about four times while trying to write this review). Street Fighter: Duel is available now on iOS and Android devices. The post Review: Street Fighter: Duel's Combat Slowly Grows on You appeared first on Siliconera. |

Blizzard revealed another one of the Overwatch 2 One Punch Man character skins, and this time it involves Genji becoming Genos. The Associate Product Director Aimee Dennett and Art Director Dion Rogers discussed this latest costume on the PlayStation Blog. This also involved a look at some concept art for the skin, as well as confirming why this "cosplay" was picked. Dennett specifically noted that Genji and Genos' background led to this skin appearing for the Overwatch 2 One Punch Man crossover. Both characters are cyborgs. Genji ended up nearly left for dead by his brother Hanzo after a fight. The Overwatch body augmentations ended up saving him. Meanwhile, as a teenager, Genos and his family were attacked by a cyborg, and he ended up becoming a cyborg after being the only survivor. Both Rogers and Dennett both also noted that this skin is more of a hybrid. Rogers noted, "Genos's spiky blonde hair was an interesting challenge, the closer we matched the style the more we lost Genji in the process. Our concept artists were careful to combine the two heroes' main aesthetics without losing either character in the process." Here's the concept art for it. Past revealed skins include Kiriko as Tornado and Doomfist as Saitama. Overwatch 2 is available on the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC, and the One-Punch Man crossover will runs March 7, 2023 to April 6, 2023.

Worlds will collide when Capcom's popular Monster Hunter franchise arrives in Street Fighter: Duel for an event that will run from March 16-29, 2023. In this crossover, players can tackle new challenges as they battle Gore Megala, a powerful dragon-like creature that first appeared in Monster Hunter 4. It will also mark the debut of a new version of Ken called "Gore Magala Ken." Gore Magala Ken can join players' team to lead the charge against the beasts from Monster Hunter. This new version of Street Fighter staple Ken belongs to the "Infernal King Faction" and boosts the power of your team based on the number of other characters you have with the same faction. He is a balanced-type fighter and has the Savage ability, granting him +25 attack. His most potent attack is Tetsuzanko, which deals a large amount of damage to a single target. With Ken aboard, you can challenge Gore Megala. Fighting this monster will cause it to drop items based on those dropped in the Monster Hunter series. These include Gore Megala's wings, claw, and head. You can then take these drops and trade them for items at Wycademy Supply. These items include a new avatar frame, Arcade Coins, and fighters. Gore Megala also can be challenged in two different modes, Normal State and Rage State, with Rage State being harder. You can make the fight easier by bringing Gore Megala Ken along to increase your damage output. The Shadaloo Invasion event will run alongside the Gore Megala hunt and gives items that can be used to unlock Gore Megala Ken, including monster bones and wyvern tears. There's also a teaser trailer that shows how Gore Magala Ken will look in the game. You can play Street Fighter: Duel now on iOS and Android devices.

Yet another member of Hololive English Myth appeared on the Holo no Graffiti (Hologra) "anime" web series. This time, Calliope Mori made her debut. Now that all five members of the group have their English models, they've been gradually making appearances in new episodes introducing them to the other Vtubers. It's the 198th episode of the series so far. Here's the Calliope Mori Holo no Graffiti episode "Reaper What You Sow." English subtitles are available if you turn on closed captions. It begins with Lamy Yukihana and Aki Rosenthal collapsed. Calliope is holding her scythe and breathing heavily. Shion Murasaki happens upon the scene and declares her a murderer. A chase ensues, which results in Ayame Nakiri being summoned to the "fight." Noel Shirogane also makes a cameo appearance. This is marks the third appearance of a Hololive EN Myth member in the Hologra anime. The same day the Ina'nis Ninomae 3D model was reevaled, she showed up in the "Eat or Be EaTentacle" episode. The same happened for Kiara Takanashi. She showed up in "Forgetaburger" after the fact. If this pattern continues, then the next Holo no Graffiti should feature Gura Gawr. After that, we may see Amelia Watson make her debut. This also recently happened for some members of Hololive ID as well. Risu Ayunda, Moona Hoshinova, and Iofi Airani showed up in episodes for the first time in 2023 too. The post Hololive EN's Calliope Mori Makes Her Hologra Debut appeared first on Siliconera. |

Back in 2021, Eiichiro Oda drew a "Three Sword Style" Nami for the cover of One Piece Magazine Volume 13. She was essentially "stealing" Roronoa Zoro's style for the pose. Now in December 2023, two figures inspired by the "dream scenario" design will be released. One is a more true-to-life Nami One Piece figure, while the other is a smaller, more cutesy World Collectable Figure (WCF). They can be pre-ordered through the Jump CS Shueisha storefront in Japan. Only a Japanese release has been confirmed. First, here's how that One Piece Magazine Volume 13 by Oda looked. Here's how the One Piece "Three Sword Style" Nami full-size scale figure will look. She will be about 165mm/6.4in tall. She will cost 13,200円 (~$97). Next, here's the WCF version of this special version of Nami. Like all figures in this line, she'll be smaller and more affordable. She'll stand at 70mm/2.7in tall. She'll also be the more affordable of the two, as she'll only cost 2,640円 (~$19). This isn't the only new One Piece figures on the way. SH Figuarts of Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji are coming back. The One Piece "Three Sword Style" Nami figure will be available in standard and WCF styles in December 2023 in Japan. Pre-orders are available until April 2, 2023. Viz Media is handling the manga localization and release outside Japan, while the anime adaptation is streaming on Crunchyroll.
