It's both fun and useful for getting out of trouble if you know how to do it. But TotK adds a little twist to this fun mechanic by way of the game's new Fuse ability. If you…

     The Destiny 2 fish blaster isn't real, but maybe it should be

A Destiny 2 fish weapon created as a joke in light of the forthcoming Season of the Deep is making the rounds, as some people believed the fan-created gun was an actual hand cannon from Bungie set to appear in the FPS game. The hilariously-designed item is the product of stellar graphic design work as one Destiny 2 fan took the hand cannon model and added a fish body to it, with what would be the fish's mouth doubling as the barrel of the weapon.

Dead by Daylight chapter 28 has been confirmed as another original story, and the unlicensed new killer, survivor, and map are sure to upset some fans of the horror game. Historically, the anniversary chapter, falling in June every year, sees the release of a licensed collaboration, such as Silent Hill's Pyramid Head or Resident Evil's legendary Nemesis, who both fare well in our DBD killer tier list, and fans were hoping for something similar going into year eight. One leak did suggest that the new Dead by Daylight killer would be Alien, and, to be honest, it's not far wrong.

     Street Fighter 6 tier list May 2023 – best characters

Want to know who is at the top of the Street Fighter 6 tier list? With a sizable roster coming and more characters arriving on the scene after release, it's time to rank them in order of who will most consistently be the best pick as the champion of World Warriors.

Right now, this list comes with a big caveat. Given that only eight characters of the 16 are available in the fighting game's full release and will be available during the Street Fighter 6 beta, we can only judge which of those members of the Street Fighter 6 roster are worth playing. Naturally, this will be an ever-evolving list as we get to grips with each character.

He has since been acquitted, but he now fights with a new purpose and perhaps the most diverse moveset of his career.

For some of us here at PCGamesN, there's a tendency to main-pick this member of the Street Fighter 6 roster in every one of his fighting game appearances. After all, his basics are familiar, but his focus on rush-down techniques makes him historically a decent choice. Street Fighter 6 Ken is no different, and with our various hands-on time over the past few months, including a Street Fighter 6 beta, we have some tips on performing his new special moves and working them into combos efficiently.

Want to know about the Diablo 4 classes? Since the game was revealed in late 2019, fans have been speculating what each of the five classes will bring to the game. We now know that the five classes are: Necromancer, Rogue, Sorceress, Barbarian, and Druid.

Every Diablo 4 class has its own unique skill tree, allowing players to pick which abilities they want to use. Unlike Diablo 3 which featured set character designs, each class's appearance in Diablo 4 can be customised, even down to the skin colour of each character. Diablo 4's release date may be a few weeks away, but we've had hands-on experience with the Diablo 4 beta, and there's the Server Slam this weekend to try out, so there's every chance for you to chop monsters if you want to.

     The best crime games on PC 2023

What are the best crime games on PC? Videogames are and have always been, all about fulfilling a fantasy. We step into virtual worlds to fight evil, slay monsters, grab sweet loot, or go to war online. They're a chance to do something we wouldn't usually do - and that includes crime games. With that in mind, games that focus on crime are popular for that very reason - they're (hopefully) not something you'd attempt in real life.

Ever since RPG game Grand Theft Auto challenged players to earn as many Wanted stars as possible, gamers have been pushing the limits of reckless behavior and general naughtiness. We reckon at least one of these is sure to make you an offer you can't refuse, as they aren't only naughty power fantasies, but some of the best PC games ever. Between modern-day crime epics, online heists, fisticuffs in faraway places, and a trip back in time to criminal empires of yesteryear, we've got a little something for everyone.

Kujlevka is a strange, clever game about an ageing village bureaucrat already troubled by political upheaval and dreams about death and trauma, suddenly given responsibility for communicating with and controlling access to what appears to be humanity's first contact with an alien intelligence.

All those themes suggest a heavy, self-serious game. But Kujlevka's great strength is its levity. While not particularly funny, its consistent wry humour perfectly counterbalances all the talk of political chaos, existential futility, and petty greed. Its opening should have been a clue, really, considering you hang out with skeletons while drinking and commenting on the food on a train in outer space.

Of the various corporatised fictional universes out there, Star Wars is the one I'm most emotionally invested in. But my affection for George Lucas' brain-baby is less about the stories and characters, and more about the general vibe of the galaxy itself. I love its retro-futurist junkpunk style, the rusty spaceships, dusty planets, and fusty aliens. That's why I've more fondness for games like Dark Forces and KotOR than any of the films or TV shows, as they let me poke around locations like Tatooine and Ord Mantell at my own pace.

Hence, the idea of being properly, immerse in Star Wars, to be physically surrounded by it and able to touch it, is probably my ultimate VR fantasy. Sod the imaginatively inert virtual spaces of Horizon Worlds, if Mark Zuckerberg really wanted to sell the Metaverse to me, he'd build the whole thing out in Mos Eisely chic, and let me run my own virtual cantina selling NFT space-drinks to legless bounty hunters and idiot Web3 prospectors.

Yu-Gi-Oh Animate merchandise header

Animate in Ikebukuro and Akihabara will sell original Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Monsters apparel and merchandise from May 27, 2023. These items are from the brand Arti-Mate, which is a collaboration between Arma Bianca and Animate. Monsters that the goods will feature include signature cards such as the Blue Eyes White Dragon and Dark Magician Girl. However, all the Yu-Gi-Oh items feature references to Yami Yugi and Seto Kaiba. [Thanks, Comic Natalie!]

Familiar motifs such as the Millennium Puzzle and Kaiba Corporation's logo are abundant on the Yu-G-Oh clothing and merchandise. Aside from apparel, you can get items such as an Airpods case. The T-shirts are all 4950 JPY ($35.95), and the hooded jackets and hoodies are 9900 JPY ($71.90). The most expensive item is unisex stadium jacket with the Kaiba Corporation logo on the back. It costs 10,780 JPY ($78.30).

Here's a closer look at the Yami Yugi and Kaiba Yu-Gi-Oh items:

The Yu-Gi-Oh franchise evolved beyond Duel Monsters, with the card game practically unrecognizable now compared to the early days of the anime and manga series. However, due to the persisting popularity of Duel Monsters, companies still release merchandise for it to this day. In late December 2022, for example, Bandai Spirits released a real-life Millennium Puzzle that would glow and play music after you complete it.

The Yu-Gi-Oh Arti-Mate items are available for pre-order on Animate's website until July 23, 2023. The products will start to ship on September 23, 2023. Since Animate does not offer international shipping, that date is only for Japanese customers.

Now that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is here and we've spent some time with it, let's talk about the entries in the series we like best

We've gotten to spend quite a bit of time with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomnow that it's been around for a week. Granted, given it is a game that could take dozens or hundreds of hours to really master, we might not be sure how we feel about it. Not to mention so many other past installments have offered us all sorts of adventures over the year. So this week, we decided it might be a good idea for us all to share what we like best about some of our favorite The Legend of Zelda games.

One of the greatest things about the The Legend of Zelda series is that there is a game for everyone in it. For me, it also happens to be the first one I ever played as a kid. The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is a fantastic game, whether you play the original Game Boy version, the Game Boy Color port, or the 2019 Switch remake. There is no wrong way of experiencing one of Link's most interesting adventures. To top it all of, the soundtrack of Link's Awakening is one of the most beautiful ones I've ever heard in a video game. — Daniel

I'd say The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap is probably the game I liked best. There are so many silly elements, and it all feels so lighthearted. There can be a lot of darkness in Hyrule, but tempering that with a cap that lets me turn super teeny and see the world from a whole new perspective is pretty great. -- Jenni

I always enjoy The Legend of Zelda games, but there's only one that has truly stuck with me on a deeper level. The series rarely does much for me narrative-wise, but Majora's Mask is a huge exception to this. It's basically a horror game in disguise, with its Groundhog Day premise and angry moon hanging in the sky. The stories of everyone in Clock Town and the surrounding areas of Termina are so simple yet so heart-wrenching. There's something deeply troubled about that world that makes me desperately want to be its hero. Plus the Song of Healing is one of the best music pieces in the entire series. - Leigh

Before, I would have said one of the Oracle games. Oracle of Ages was the first The Legend of Zelda game I ever played and completed! And I loved it to death. But after the years, there's one game that has grown on me in ways I almost didn't expect, and that's The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. With an incredible cast of characters and a gorgeous score, this more low fantasy version of Hyrule embodies the dusk the game itself references within its very title. It's moody, dark, but not without a glimmer of hope lingering on the horizon. Even to this day I'd love for Nintendo make something of a sequel for it, just to see Midna one more time. (Also the Ganondorf design and fight in Twilight Princess is unparalleled.) -- Kazuma

While I have yet to meet a The Legend of Zelda game I don't like, the one I always go back to is Majora's Mask. The darker, more somber tone to quite literally every aspect is both a nice change of pace and incredibly well done. It puts an emphasis on exploring the world and completing side quests that's great for making you want to play more as well as for replay value. And frankly, I'm a big fan of the three-day cycle. It gives the game a sense of urgency while adding to the darker themes. Plus the Fierce Deity is unbelievably cool and I will probably cry like a baby if it's ever brought back. -- Adam

You won't be able to send Paldean Pokemon to other titles where they didn't exist yet. However, characters from say Let's Go, Pikachu or Eevee or Sword and Shield that are in the new games could be transferred.

Here's the updated announcement:

There's also new, celebratory art to honor the upcoming Pokemon HOME support.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Great Tusk and Iron Treads Tera Raids Suspended

People are encouraged to avoid the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Chesnaught, Great Tusk, and Iron Treads Tera Raids. Nintendo announced on Twitter that there is a bug that could cause players' problems. Specifically, those who started taking part when the Paradox Pokemon raids appeared reported that not all rewards would appear, with one showing as "none," and the game crashing.

Both can be found in the Area Zero endgame location alongside other Paradox Pokemon. However, you'll only see Great Tusk in Pokemon Scarlet, and Iron Treads is limited to Pokemon Violet.

Latest Street Fighter 6 Video Shows How to Play as Ken

Capcom shared another "how to play as" character video for Street Fighter 6, and the latest one stars Ken. He's been a part of the series since the original game. The video points out how he can quickly get into an opponent's space to attack. It also pays particular attention to his Jinrai Kick.

Here's the full video, which looks at a handful of his attacks.

The last two videos to show off how to play as certain characters starred Guile and Juri.

As a reminder, right now people can play Street Fighter 6 for themselves. In addition to a demo, an open beta is available May 19-21, 2023. Those of us with a PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC can play online as Chun-Li, Guile, Jamie, Juri, Ken, Kimberly, Luke, and Ryu in the Battle Hub. Some emergency maintenance did happen on May 19, 2023, but that's over now. While this allows someone to test out the Versus mode, the demo focuses on the Story Mode.

Sonic Symphony World Tour

Sega announced the first dates for the Sonic Symphony World Tour. The show will feature orchestral arrangements of music from across the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise's soundtracks. So far dates are confirmed for London, UK and Los Angeles, CA shows.

The first performance of the Sonic Symphony World Tour will take place at the Barbican Hall in London, UK on September 16, 2023. The second performance will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, CA on September 30, 2023. These are currently the only dates announced. Sega will be producing the show alongside Soundtrec and SOHO Live. Tickets for both shows open for presale on May 25, 2023 at 10am local time. General sales open on May 26, 2023.

The tour follows on from the success of previous symphonic performances of music from Sonic the Hedgehog games' soundtracks. In June 2021, Sega held a concert over live stream to celebrate the Sonic franchise's 30th anniversary. This was followed by a performance at the Brasil Game Show in 2022. A world tour was confirmed at the same time as this second performance, but these are the first dates announced since the show in Brazil.

Based on the announcement trailer using footage from the 30th Anniversary Concert, it's likely that the new performances will be similar. This means fans can expect orchestral medleys of instrumental music from across the Sonic series. These will be mixed with vocal themes such as "Endless Possibility" from Sonic Unleashed performed with a rock band. The presence of Sonic Frontiers in the trailer suggests music from that game will also be making an appearance.

Skullgirls 2nd Encore Marie Gameplay Video Clips Shared

The Skullgirl herself is about to join Skullgirls 2nd Encore in 2023, and Hidden Variable Games started showing off Marie. The developer is taking to Twitter to regularly share in-progress video clips. All of the Skullgirls gameplay is still in an early phase. This means there may be frames where the character art isn't finished yet. A new clip appears each day on the official Twitter at 4pm PT/7pm ET/12am BST/8am JST.

The first video shared involved a look at Marie on the character select screen.

The second showed her attacking Annie of the Stars with her skeletal vaccuum.

The last clip showed her fighting Beowulf and using skeletal allies as shields.

Prior to Marie, another much requested and often teased character appeared as Skullgirls 2nd Encore DLC. Black Dahlia is now available in-game. The Season 1 Pass included her alongside Annie of the Stars and Umbrella. When Marie debuts later in 2023, that will wrap up that pass. Hidden Variable Studios and Autumn Games haven't said anything about a second season with additional characters yet.

Skullgirls 2nd Encore is available on the PS4, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC via Steam.

Super Mario Bros 2 is in the NES library, while Super Mario World and Yoshi's Island are in the SNES library. However, there are some differences in the Advance versions. All the games gained graphical improvements and a few gameplay additions. For example, Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 gained six new levels not in the original game.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Mio Figure Can Wield her Dual Moonblades or Flute

Good Smile Company opened pre-orders for the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Mio figma, and the figure will appear worldwide in 2024. It will first show up in Japan. The release window for it there is February 2024, and it will cost ¥12,000. In North America, there's a more generic Q2 2024 releasw window and $85.99 price tag. The last time we saw it was back in February 2023, when Good Smile Company showed an unpainted prototype.

All of Mio's face plates and accessories pull from moments in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. For example, she has a neutral, relaxed face, one with closed eyes for when she's performing her Offseer duties, a face plate where she's smiling, and another where she's yelling as if during a fight. You can pose her with her hair long or short. There's also a flute for offseeing, a diary for keeping her notes as her time approaches, and the Dual Moonblades she wields as a Zephyr.

Here's a closer look at her:

6.4 Final Fantasy XIV Preliminary Patch Notes Shared

Square Enix shared the preliminary 6.4 Final Fantasy XIV patch notes, which spend time going over some of the new story quest, sidequest, dungeon, trial, and raid details. As this is just an initial overview, not every detail is there. For example, there is information about some quests and new dungeons and trials. However, specifics for job changes and other alterations don't come up yet. Those appear closer to launch.

The 6.4 Final Fantasy XIV patch notes start by going over details about new quests. The new Main Scenario Quests kick off with "Currying Flavor." You'll need to be a Disciple of War or Magic at level 90 who finished "Gods Revel, Lands Tremble" to take part. If you have, then you can visit Varshahn at Radz-at-Han (X:4.4 Y:9.8) to start it. It's the first of nine new quests. If you beat Chronicles of a New Era's "Truth Imperfect," you can continue that storyline with "Eater of Souls." People who meet the Disciple of War or Magic requirement can meet Ruissenaud at Labyrinthos (X:8.6 Y:27.5) to start the first of five new quests. There are also three new. Tataru's Grand Endeavor quests, which begin with "Aggressive Expansion." That requires you to finish both the "previous quest in that line "Small Business, Big Dreams" and the Chronicles of a New Era one "Forever at Your Side."

While it doesn't get into exact job changes yet, the Final Fantasy XIV patch notes for 6.4 do talk about some dungeon, trial, and raid details. The Aetherfont is going to be a new dungeon for ideally a group of four Disciple of War or Magic level 90 players who also have an item level of at least 605. You also have 90 minutes to finish it. As for the Golbez The Voidcast Dais Trial, we now know it has an average item level of 615 or higher, is for eight people who are at level 90, and needs to be done within 60 minutes on standard. For the Extreme version, the recommended average item level is at least 630. Like the Trial, the Pandæmonium: Anabaseios Raid has the same level 615 average item level requirement and allows an eight player party of people at level 90. It also has a 90 minute time limit and requires you to beat Chronicles of a New Era's "Eater of Souls."

Final Fantasy XIV is immediately available on PC, PS4, and PS5, and patch 6.4 will release on May 23, 2023.

For the over 20 minute presentation, he sat down with Producer Naoki Yoshida and Localization Director Michael-Christopher Koji Fox to discuss the character, the story, and other things that came up during recording and the making of the game.

It begins with Starr talking about who Clive is, then goes deeper into topics such as what makes him a hero, and the character's biggest challenge. It also goes into the actor's specific experience, such as explaining how familiar he was with Final Fantasy as a whole before playing the role. At that part, Yoshida noted it'd help if the actors playing roles would be Final Fantasy fans. Starr noted how much weight be felt and it all carried due to his background with the story, as he knew the legacy of the crystals and said he grew up with the games. He said, "I understood the weight of it" when talking about being picked to play the role.

Here's the full Final Fantasy XVI "Creators Make Clive" interview with Ben Starr.

Genshin Impact Kirara

Ahead of her playable debut in Genshin Impact, HoYoVerse released a character trailer for Kirara, as well as more information about her kit. While we do know the basics of it thanks to the Version 3.7 Special Program, details about them are now available via HoYoLab. She will be a four-star Dendro Sword user hailing from Inazuma.

Her Elemental Skill Meow-teor Kick: Press can can create shield that scales off of her Max HP. It also deals AoE Dendro DMG. Holding it will transform her into an Urgent Neko Parcel, which is good for adventuring or exploring. It deals Dendro DMG when she runs into enemies. It also increases her movement and climbing speed, along with her jumping power. Her Elemental Burst, Secret Art: Surprise Dispatch, deals AoE Dendro DMG and then creates Dendro Cores (Cat Grass Cardamoms) that will explode upon contact or after a period of time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkUFz8n4rUU

Lore-wise, Kirara is a delivery girl for Komaniya Express. It is the fastest and most reliable delivery company in Inazuma. However, characters from other regions, such as Qiqi and Kaveh, make appearances in her trailer so it seems like Komaniya Express offers international shipping.

In English, Julia Gu voices her. Other roles that Gu has portrayed include Hong Jing in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty and Fallon in Edge of Eternity. In the Japanese dub, Sayumi Suzushiro voices Kirara. Suzushiro has also appeared as Kylie in The Magnificient Kotobuki and Uruka Takemoto in We Never Learn.

Genshin Impact is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. Kirara will debut as part of Genshin Impact Version 3.7, which will launch on May 24, 2023.
