Want to know what Genshin Impact outfits are available? The outfits system was introduced in the Genshin Impact 1.6 update, following months of pleading from the community. These outfits give you the chance to dress your favourite characters in brand-new clothes.

As Genshin Impact characters are locked behind gacha mechanics in the free PC game, players were initially worried that skins may be sold using the same system. However, there are actually two methods to unlock skins: purchase the skin for 1,680 Genesis Crystals, or complete specific Genshin Impact events to unlock the skin for free. If you're unlucky enough to miss the event, free skins will make their way to the Character Outfit Shop in the future.

August 17, 2023 New code added!

What are the latest Disney Dreamlight Valley codes? We've done some digging to make sure we've got the latest codes available from Gameloft. Codes weren't available in the Dreamlight Valley during its first few months, but with the festival of Foolishness now in swing, there are a whopping ten codes currently available, so read on to make sure you've claimed them all.

The Dreamlight Valley golden potato code was the first to come to the Disney game, and gives you just that, a golden potato. It doesn't even do anything yet, but the exciting news is that it appears to be part of a future Dreamlight Valley quest. The code might no longer available, but if you still don't have a golden potato, you can pick one up in Scrooge's shop. Other codes have since been released with various celebrations, including the Dreamlight Park community challenge and the Festival of Foolishness, for which all the Dreamlight Valley codes can be found below.

     Starfield armor and stats explained

What is Starfield armor? Starfield's distinctive spacesuits aren't just for show – they're also your first line of protection against the universe. The inclusion of Starfield armor should be no surprise to the seasoned Bethesda fan, but its sci-fi setting is an undiscovered country that might leave you lost on what to prioritize. We've combed through all the latest previews to give you a full breakdown of armor stats and early indicators of which sets to watch out for at launch.

While your character may have a sliver of built-in protection thanks to their background, Starfield armor is your best bet to ensure your survival, no matter what brand of morally bankrupt spacer crosses your path. Thanks to our ample experience in previous Bethesda RPG games, we're willing to bet that armor will be worn above a base layer of cosmetic items and split into multiple parts to protect your head, chest, and limbs in combat. Here's what we know about Starfield armor ahead of its release date in September.

Can you go to Starfield jail? Stop! You've violated the law! But now what's going to happen? Bethesda has taken various approaches to crime and punishment in its RPG games over the years, but all bets are off when it comes to a distant future among the stars. We've nailed down Starfield's letter of the law, so you know what to expect when the city guards come knocking.

Starfield offers a galaxy full of possibilities, so it should come as no surprise that some of the less reputable Starfield skills and backgrounds can land you in a Starfield prison. If you've been found with smuggled contraband, or been caught pickpocketing and lockpicking by the local space jailers, you can't expect to get off scot-free – but you might just make it out alive.

The presence of characters that the player can form relationships with in the RPG game has already been confirmed, and VASCO, a Constellation expeditionary robot, is one of the few known companions so far in Starfield. Companions can comment about things the player is actively doing or has done previously, which should sound familiar to Fallout players who are tired of being judged by their associates, and you can even start up a romance with some - but we're not sure VASCO is the best choice for that. Here's everything we know about the Starfield companions so far.

Skyrim will always be the first game I think of now whenever I see snow or spells, or anything inspired by folklore and mythology. Similarly, though it was only released in 2019, Disco Elysium has come to epitomize a certain hand-drawn visual style and focus on choices and dialogue - if I'm thinking character-driven, well-told drama, my mind goes first to ZA/UM's RPG game. And this is where Black Book comes in, a dark, wintry adventure with an in-depth lore, turn-based combat, and extremely stylish world design. And the best part, it's available now for free on the Epic Games Store.

The brutish "X curio is like Y behemoth" logic of mass entertainment nooze requires me to associate Selkie Harbour's The Anglerfish Project with Starfield. They do form a pleasant contrast, in fairness. Both are space games but one doesn't have a fishing mechanic, whereas the other is all fishing mechanic. One is about visiting strange new worlds, establishing outposts and shooting or romancing the heck out of the locals, while the other maroons you on a single asteroid. The Anglerfish Project deserves better than to serve only as a counterpoint for the Bethesda colossus, however - it's a sweet and tidy stargaze 'em up with a dry sense of humour, and you can download it for free on Itch.io.

The rest of the RPS Treehouse might be fully engrossed in Baldur's Gate 3 at the moment, but the main thing that's been on my mind for the last couple of weeks is stealthy strategy games. Primarily, the exceedingly excellent Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew, but also Harebrained Scheme's upcoming turn-based tactics 'em up, The Lamplighters League, a game I've been quietly looking forward to ever since it was announced earlier this year.

Specifically, I've been playing through a handful of missions from the middle of The Lamplighters League's campaign, getting to grips with its full roster of agents and their unique set of skills. It continues to be just as stylish as the opening mission I played in May, but I'm not gonna lie. I've had quite a bit of whiplash coming straight from Shadow Gambit into this, but even if I'd arrived fresh and green, I don't think even all my years of tactics playing and XCOM-liker-liking would have been enough to prepare me for just how gosh darn difficult it is.

Holocure Main Menu Save Data

KayAnimate, developer of Hololive fan-game HoloCure , explained how to transfer save data from the previous game client to the new release on Steam. The game was originally released on Itch.io, but launched a Steam version on August 17, 2023. The good news is, as long as you load the game up on the same device you played on previously, it should automatically transfer your old save data and achievements to the new Steam client.

KayAnimate recommended that you install the Steam version before deleting the old client to ensure the data is preserved. Another issue to be aware of is that usernames including certain characters will have been reset to a default name, but a new name can be entered under settings in the game's leaderboard menu.

Made in the style of Vampire Survivors and Magic Survival, HoloCure is a fan-made game featuring Vtubers from the Hololive Agency. The Steam release was announced back in May 2023, shortly after Update 0.5 added the first and second generations of JP branch members. Lead Developer Kay Yu also previously worked with Hololive on the animated video for Mori Calliope and Gawr Gura's song "Q," which has since passed 20 million views.

HoloCure is immediately available for PCs on Steam and Itch.io for free, and save data from previous versions should transfer automatically.

As Expected, Vampire Survivors Is Great on the Switch

Due to its hybrid nature, the Nintendo Switch is a fantastic console for games from multiple genres and of varying lengths. Don't like a title one way? Play it when docked and use a better controller and bigger screen to see if it helps. Want to play on the go? There are games perfectly suited for the handheld life. Vampire Survivors is such that either docked or undocked on the Switch, it's just great. It captures what we knew already worked on the Xbox platforms and PC, but also might lend a little more than other portable platforms like the Steam Deck or mobile devices.

For those unfamiliar with it, Vampire Survivors is a roguelike bullet hell game in which your avatar is the source of all bullets. Various opponents come at you in waves. As you level up or find Treasure Chests, you'll get the opportunity to add more weapons and passive items to increase your damage output and survivability. While there are unlocks for doing things like lasting for X minutes, reaching Y level, getting an evolved form of a weapon, or finding relics. You play until enemies overwhelm your selected character. Then you see a score, get to invest gold into unlocks or upgrades, and go through it all again.

Like the Steam Deck version of Vampire Survivors, the Switch version succeeds and surpasses the mobile ports because of having actual analog sticks in your hand. This isn't the most intensive game, to be clear, given the automatic firing of weapons and projectiles. But having a real controller for directing your character makes a big difference, and it's far more comfortable to play on the Switch than the mobile version on my iPad.

I'd even say the Vampire Survivors Switch port could give the Steam Deck version a run for its money now that co-op is present. Tabletop mode isn't always ideal for multiplayer games, and the sprites here can get rather small. (Especially if projectiles are involved.) But there's something I found exceptionally fun about playing it solo, setting up my Switch in handheld mode, passing over a controller, and kicking off a co-op match. It's convenient and, since this is such an easy game to play, perfect for any audience.

Naturally, it's also a good fit because Vampire Survivors runs well on the Switch. I didn't experience the same degree of lag in this version as I did in the mobile one, which is appreciated given how much the game can throw at you. There are still the same hordes I'd expect and see from the other releases. However, it doesn't have the kind of endgame lag that eventually makes playing it on a phone impossible.

Essentially, Vampire Survivors is the same great game on the Switch as it is on PCs and the Xbox consoles. The difference is this time we have what feels like a more mobile and handheld version that runs better, yet still allows for on-the-go multiplayer. It's a fun way to play for a whole afternoon on its own, or between other Switch games.

Vampire Survivors is available on the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PC, and mobile devices.

More My Hero Academia Characters Will Be Added in Ultra Rumble Seasons

Bandai Namco offered details about what to expect from new characters in the new My Hero Academia game My Hero Ultra Rumble. The developers will gradually increase the size of the cast. This will happen when new seasons start. There's also a teaser for three upcoming additions to the roster.

The announcement noted that like other My Hero Academia characters, such ones who we saw in the My Hero Ultra Rumble beta, their Quirks will determine their moveset. However, as we don't know who the first three are yet, we don't know how that would influence their battle royale behavior. The one in the middle almost looks like it could be the silhouette of Ibara "Vine" Shiozaki. It seems like it could be her thorny hair.

Here's the teaser image for the three upcoming characters.
[gallery columns="1" ids="978744" link="file"]
As a reminder, this will be a free-to-play battle royale for 24 players at a time. Each character will be an Assault, Rapid, Strike, Support, or Technical type. Confirmed characters so far include Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugo, Ochaco Uraka, Shoto Todoroki, All Might, Tsuyu Asui, Tomura Shigaraki, Dabi, and Himiko Toga.

My Hero Ultra Rumble will come to the Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC in Fall 2023, though there's no exact release date for the My Hero Academia game yet. The anime is streaming on Crunchyroll, while the manga is available via Viz Media outside Japan.

Baldur's Gate 3 Japan Release

Baldur's Gate 3 will be arriving in Japan on PlayStation 5 in 2023, Spike Chunsoft announced on August 17, 2023. Spike Chunsoft is set to publish the Japanese version of the fantasy RPG game developed by Larian Studios this year, but a definitive date has not been decided at this time. The game will release both digitally on the PlayStation Store and physically at retailers in Japan.

Larian Studios is best known for its work on the Divinity series, but Baldur's Gate 3 is its first entry in the Baldur's Gate franchise. It serves as the sequel to the Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn which released 23 years ago. Baldur's Gate 3 has been in early access since 2020, but finally released on Windows PC on August 3, 2023 in North America and Europe.

Since Baldur's Gate 3's release, it received near universal acclaim from critics and fans alike who have been charmed by its extremely player-driven story and gameplay, the plethora of unique characters that players can interact with, and its deep commitment to the Dungeons & Dragons formula. Since it's launch, Baldur's Gate 3 it continued to receive support by Larian Studios as they have released a number of hotfixes to patch bugs and crashes ahead of its PlayStation 5 release.

Baldur's Gate III is available for Windows PC and will release on the PlayStation 5 and macOS on September 6, 2023.

FFVII Ever Crisis Multiplayer co-op

Square Enix released another short video about the upcoming Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis, this time looking at the game's co-op multiplayer battle feature. When using it, up to three players will be able to group up to take on more difficult bosses.

The trailer shows a party of Cloud, Zack, and Glenn teaming up to take down a Red Dragon. In this mode, each player controls one party member, rather than the other two allies being controlled by AI like in single player. By coordinating in combat, players will be able to resurrect each other's characters or gain bonuses by using the same commands together. Interestingly, it appears that each player will be able to set their own Command Stance, a feature detailed in a previous video that usually applies to the whole party.

You can watch the full Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis multiplayer video embedded in the tweet below:

[embed]https://twitter.com/FFVII_EC_EN/status/1691993249072791693?s=20[/embed]

While players can select from a variety of pre-made messages to display in the lobby or during battle, it is not confirmed whether or not they will be able to type their own messages as well to better co-ordinate during fights. Similarly, while the trailer promises in-game rewards, it does not explain whether they are exclusive to multiplayer or if they will be the same as those we can earn in singleplayer

As well as co-op, previous Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis teaser videos have shown off new features in the battle system as well as a new story featuring Sephiroth.

Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis will launch for mobile devices on September 7, 2023.

amemiya nazuna

Amemiya Nazuna posted on her Twitter account that she will step back from her activities at VShojo. She ended her announcement with "Let's meet when we can. Good Bye," along with a hand-waving emoji. Though she is not leaving VShojo, she plans to hold fewer streams under her Amemiya Nazuna identity. Direct replies to her announcement are positive and supportive.

For those who still want to watch streams from the person behind Nazuna, she has another channel that she plans on using more. Her alternate channel is "mikenekoko," which currently has over 883,000 subscribers on YouTube. Her streams mainly focus on games, and she has also uploaded original songs.

Though she is stepping back from streaming under the Nazuna identity, this will not affect the release of "Sodalicious," which will premiere on August 26, 2023. You will be able to hear it at VShojo's Candy Pop Explosion. That will be an online concert streaming on YouTube. You can buy tickets through the concert's YouTube channel. "Sodalicious" is a collaborative song between Amemiya Nazuna and Kson, who is another Vtuber affiliated with the company.

Amemiya Nazuna will not stream as often with VShojo. It's unclear if this will change in the future, or if she, like Veibae and Nyatasha, plans on leaving. However, she will likely still be streaming at mikenekoko.

Both single and multiplayer experiences will be available. People will also still be able to play and access backwards compatible titles on the Xbox One and Xbox Series X, and those Xbox 360 digital copies will be sold on those consoles' storefronts.

As for Movies & TV items, people will still be to access them. Those will just only be available on an Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Windows 10 after July 2024. However, everything you own will be there on those platforms' libraries.

Baldur's Gate 3 Hotfix 4 Rolled Back, Making Some Saves Inaccessible

Larian Studios announced that some Baldur's Gate 3 saves may not work due to a Hotfix 4 patch being rolled back. On August 16, 2023, it distributed a patch. However, a build error forced them to recall it and go back to Hotfix 3. This does mean any save files made when playing on a Hotfix 4 build will not work until that patch appears again, however. At about 9am ET on August 17, 2023, it said it hoped to have the patch back out again by the end of the day.

In the announcement, Larian noted that Hotfix 4's main issue was causing the game to crash. It didn't go into details about how or why it was happening beyond the build error beyond a "server issue." Its 9am update did note the team was getting closer and had a "candidate" for one that could be used. It didn't note any workarounds or remedies for people who did update and play the game, creating a Hotfix 4 save, before that patch was rolled back.

Here's the official statement regarding the return of Baldur's Gate 3 Hotfix 4 and ability to use saves made during it again.

Baldur's Gate 3 is available for PCs. It will come to the PS5 on September 6, 2023. Baldur's Gate 3 Hotfix 4 is expected to return on August 17, 2023.
