PCGamesN Wednesday, May 31, 2023 5:12 PM  How do I defeat Diablo 4 Ashava? This world boss is by far and away the toughest challenge in the early game. This fearsome demon effortlessly steals the lives of wayward adventurers using its scythed talons – but you won't find her lurking at the end of a dungeon. Instead, Ashava's hellish portal only appears at set times. She's easy to miss, but we're here to help ensure you both locate and beat her within her set spawn times. While there will undoubtedly be a whole host of Diablo 4 world bosses to take on once we're able to fully explore the open-world game upon its release date, Ashava is the first to be revealed as part of the Diablo 4 beta. Here's the lowdown on Ashava the Pestilent's location and spawn times, so you can find and beat one of the toughest world bosses in what may be one of the best PC games of this year.

PCGamesN Wednesday, May 31, 2023 4:35 PM  What are Diablo 4 runes and runewords? The feature is one Diablo fans will recognize. The idea was that you could combine individual runes into runewords and insert them into socketed items, adding to their powers and abilities. But with no runes in Diablo 4 just yet, we - like you - are eager to know whether they're coming, so we asked the devs, of course. We know that D2's beloved runeword system is not returning in time for the Diablo 4 release date, but that doesn't mean they're not making their way to Diablo 4 in the future. Whichever of the five Diablo 4 classes you choose, runes would be combined and added to your items, just like gems, to increase their abilities.

PCGamesN Wednesday, May 31, 2023 3:38 PM  From the haunted forests of Scosglen to the whispering winter winds of the Fractured Peaks, choosing the best Diablo 4 builds is a must for avid fans of Blizzard's RPG game. While I could bore you with horrible, mid-tier troll builds, I've got something better. From PCGamesN's exclusive interviews with some of Sanctuary's finest, I have a list of the builds that the developers are obsessed with so that you can try them, too. Of the five current Diablo 4 classes, the developers lean very much towards the enchanting Sorceress and her myriad of different elemental magics.

Diablo 4 is right around the corner, so while you're preparing for the Diablo 4 release date, pondering which of the Diablo 4 classes to choose, you might be wondering whether you can play the game alone.

But then CSGO came out, around the time I was old enough to own a headset with a microphone, and it started to feel like the FPS game wasn't really designed with me in mind. Constant toxicity forced me to unplug the mic and over the years I gradually strayed to other shooters like Valorant. Still, I always hoped Global Offensive would clean up its act.

Several previous legendary characters will also be available from the banner. You can catch her character trailer below.

[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp5Rh3FxEFQ[/embed] Hinoka: Thundering Wings hails from a timeline where her older brothers, Ryoma and Takumi, died in battle against the kingdom of Nohr. This left Hinoka to pick up their legendary weapons, Fujin-yumi and Raijinto, and become queen of the kingdom of Hoshido. She appears to fight as a Kinshi Knight, an advanced class from Fire Emblem Fates that rides a sacred bird-like creature. Also available on the banner are the following focus heroes.
Earlier this month, Fire Emblem Heroes offered a Bridal themed banner where the bride versions of Tiki and Anna were available. Before that, they also had a mythic banner containing a playable Nerbuz. Fire Emblem Heroes is immediately available on Android and iOS mobile devices.

We now know the entire cast of voice actors for Shadow Galactica in the Sailor Moon Cosmos movies. For reference, Shadow Galactica is the antagonistic group of the Stars arc. This announcement reveals nine voice actors in total. They'll be joining veteran voice actresses such as Marina Inoue and Saori Hayami. [Thanks, Oricon!] Here are the new voice actors who will be in Sailor Moon Cosmos:
All of the characters above have the word "Sailor" before their title, much like how the Sailor Senshi do. In the lore of Sailor Moon, Sailor Galaxia created Shadow Galactica, which is an empire that aims to collect Sailor Crystals. Other Sailor Guardians joined her as she went around destroying worlds for Sailor Crystals. Several of the above characters, such as Sailors Phi and Chi, were not in the 90s anime. So the Sailor Moon Cosmos will be the animated debuts of these Shadow Galactica members. Part 1 of Sailor Moon Cosmos will debut on June 9, 2023, and the second part will debut on June 30, 2023.

As part of its MegaHobby Plus 2023 Early Summer announcements, MegaHouse revealed some of its Oshi no Ko figures and keychains. We already knew about the Look Up figures of Aqua and Kana, though this is our first official peek at their unpainted prototypes. Painted prototypes of Ai and Ruby also showed up. There's no set release date for the finished figures yet. As for the keychains and Chokorin Mascot toys, we'll see those in October 2023 and January 2024. First, here are the Look Up Aqua and Kana Oshi no Ko figures. Both are in their school uniforms. While the prototypes are unpainted, their eyes are for the example photo. They'll be 110mm tall, like all entries in the line. These figures also tend to cost around ¥4,180 (~$30) each.
And here's how Ai and Ruby will look:
Next, here are the Oshi no Ko keychains in development. The six are planned to appear at the end of October 2023. They will be ¥770 (~$5.50) each. Designs include Ai with Aqua and Ruby, Ai and Ruby, Aqua and Ruby, Aqua and Kana, Ruby and MEMcho, and Aqua and Akane.
Finally, here are the Chokorin Mascot character designs. Ai, Aqua, and Ruby are in the top row, and MEMcho, Kana, and Akane are in the bottom. These will cost ¥825 (~$6) each when they launch in January 2024.
Oshi no Ko's manga is being localized by Yen Press, while the anime is streaming on HIDIVE. The post Oshi no Ko Look Up Figures, Keychains, and Chokorin Mascots Announced appeared first on Siliconera. |

Though My Hero Academia returned from a sudden hiatus in Issue #26 of Weekly Shonen Jump, it will take another break next week. We will be able to start reading it from Issue #29 so long as there is not another delay. Weekly Shonen Jump cited production issues for why My Hero Academia will go on a brief hiatus. [Thanks, Shonen Jump News!] Since 2023, the My Hero Academia mangaka Kohei Horikoshi went on several brief breaks. In March 2023, he took a break due to health reasons. The story is close to the end and this is an intensely popular series (it is one of the best-selling manga in the first half of 2023). Horikoshi's apology and his promise to "push through to the end" seem to mean that he does plan on putting in my work and hours in order to finish the series. Fans have Tweeted their worries, with several asking him to take it easy. As of the time of writing, it's unclear if My Hero Academia will continue to have a schedule slip or if Horikoshi really will push through. My Hero Academia is available in Weekly Shonen Jump and Viz has licensed the English releases. You can also watch the show on streaming services such as Crunchyroll.

Square Enix sent out the alert that FFXIV players on Chaos or Light Worlds should be ready for automatic housing demolition to begin again. On June 21, 2023, the process will resume. How this works is if players don't visit their estate in 30 days, the timer for automatic demolition will begin. People who did visit between February 9, 2023 and June 21, 2023 will see the count restart on June 21, 2023. People who didn't will have the timer pick up from where it was on February 9, 2023. Here's the full list of FFXIV Worlds that will be affected:
As a reminder, the pause on FFXIV automatic housing demolition on the Chaos and Light Worlds happened in response to the February 6, 2023 earthquake in Turkey. Those are both European Data Centers, with the worlds on them being inhabited by people in those regions. Square Enix instituted the pause so people in the region affected by the disaster wouldn't have to worry about getting online to ensure their virtual homes would be safe. It isn't uncommon for Square Enix to initiate such pauses when extenuating circumstances occur. For example, when there was a rush of players due to Endwalker's launch, the company paused it due to the level of congestion. A general pause on automatic housing demolition recently ended in January 2023. Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PS4, PS5, and PC. The Chaos and Light Worlds automatic housing demolition begins again on June 21, 2023.

Bandai Namco revealed Diego Brando will be the last JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R DLC character. However, this is a different version than the one already available in the game. It is the alternate/parallel world one who will also show up in the game. There will be an official announcement on June 11, 2023, but for the moment only a teaser trailer appeared. The alternate Diego Brando from a parallel world is a spoiler character from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run. We don't get to see any of his moves in the teaser. There's only the confirmation that he'll appear. However, since this will follow along with what we know about the character from the original manga series, we know he'll have The World as his Stand.
With Diego Brando, the season pass is complete. This added four additional characters to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R. Prior to this version of Diego, Keicho Nijimura, Rudol von Stroheim, and Risotto Nero also appeared. Weather Forecast and Father Pucci (Final) also showed up as free DLC. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R is available for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the other Diego Brando from Steel Ball Run is coming as DLC.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Wednesday, May 31, 2023 7:01 PM  There are plenty of armors to collect in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, but perhaps none so encapsulating as the Ancient Hero's Aspect set.

Here is how to get the Ancient Hero's Aspect Armor in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. How to get the Ancient Hero's Aspect Armor in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom You'll need to take a deep breath, because you're about to be in for a wild ride if you want this armor. You need to complete all 152 Shrines in order to claim the Ancient Hero's Aspect. This is the only prerequisite, though it will take a lot of time to complete. We have plenty of guides for the difficult Shrines if you get caught up on anything. It's also handy to know the connection between Lightroots in the Depths and Shrines. ... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Wednesday, May 31, 2023 6:50 PM  The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom sometimes breaks the mold established by Breath of the Wild. However, it more often refines what was already familiar. That means that once again, you'll climb all over things and find your energy reserves dwindling. Fortunately, this guide tells you how to make stamina elixirs in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Tears of the Kingdom – how to make stamina elixirs When you start climbing hills, or even just holding onto the Paraglider as you descend from high elevation, you burn through your stamina wheel.

Ranging from side quests, to little things to find in the open-world, you're never out of things to find in Tears of the Kingdom. One of the things you can find in the Hyrule of Tears of the Kingdom is horses that you can tame, ride, and then register and keep as your own friend for life.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Wednesday, May 31, 2023 5:58 PM  The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom takes the Hyrule you thought you knew and throws in a bunch of additional places to explore. Along with new places, there are new mechanics that might confound you when you first encounter them. Here is our guide explaining how to heal broken hearts in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Tears of the Kingdom – how to heal broken hearts As you explore the underground area, known as the Depths, you are likely to take damage. Sometimes, this leads to your hearts appearing grayed out with a crack showing. These hearts might be considered 'broken.' To heal broken hearts, return to the overworld, consume an item capable of encountering gloom damage, or bathe in the glow of a Lightroot. If your hearts have been impacted by gloom damage, that's when they appear broken. Regular items simply won't address that issue.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Wednesday, May 31, 2023 5:35 PM  The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom houses a lot of different side quests for you to partake in. These can be small things like fixing a roof, or as grand as a 12 mission long quest chain investigating rumors. One of these is the Whirly Swirly Things side quest, which is given to you by a Korok in the Korok Forest, and tasks you with finding different Whirly Swirly Things throughout Hyrule for Kula to see.
