PCGamesN Wednesday, May 1, 2024 6:15 PM  It's hard to believe, but we're coming up on the 15th anniversary of Minecraft. When it first launched on May 17, 2009, it was called "Cave Game," but it was the undeniable basis for what became and still remains a global phenomenon. Developer Mojang has produced a lovely music video to celebrate this occasion, and it's packed with nods to Minecraft's weird quirks that we've all come to know and love over the years.

Aniplex made an announcement on the Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon social media account about the PS4 art book for the remake. The contents of the game will remain unaltered.
According to the announcement, due to different platform publishing policies, the art book in the Physical Limited Edition of the PS4 Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon will have alterations to two of its pages. Meanwhile, the one that will come with the Nintendo Switch physical Limited Edition will not have any modifications in it. It's unknown what the modifications will be. Some fans have been posting pictures online from the art book, such as the concept image for Roa in Elesia's Body, and speculating that they're the ones that will be changed.
Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon is the 2021 enhanced remake of the original game. Though it only features Arcueid and Ciel's routes, the game has added on a lot of new content and characters, expanding the world of Tsukihime. There will be a sequel, The Other Side of Red Garden, which will include the routes other than Arcueid and Ciel's.
Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon is readily available in Japanese for the PS4 and Nintendo Switch. The English version will come out on June 27, 2024.

The A Certain Scientific Railgun event is now live in the global version of Blue Archive. Playing through the event will give players the chance to obtain playable versions of Mikoto Misaka, Ruiko Saten, and Misaki Shokuhou.
There are two commercials for the event, showing how the characters look like in-game:
Both the short and long commercials show off the characters in-game, as well as what they can do. As a reminder, Mikoto and Misaki are in the gacha whereas Ruiko is free. You can get Ruiko if you play through the event's storyline.
This event first appeared in the Asian servers from late October to November 2023. Mikoto is an attacker character who can apply shock damage over time. Misaki is a supporter who can increase her own defense and evasion every time she inflicts Confusion on an enemy. Finally, Ruiko is an attacker who can support allies by raising their ATK.
A Certain Scientific Railgun is a spin-off of A Certain Magical Index, focusing more on the "Science" side characters. As the title suggests, Mikoto, the titular Railgun, is the main protagonist instead of Touma. Like Blue Archive, the world of A Certain Scientific Railgun takes place in an academic city-state and focuses on superpowered high schoolers. Seven Seas Entertainment is publishing the manga and you can watch the anime on services like Crunchyroll.
Blue Archive is readily available on mobile devices. The A Certain Scientific Railgun event in Blue Archive will end on May 14, 2024.

KFC in China will have yet another collaboration with Honkai: Star Rail. The crossover event will start on May 2 and end on May 4, 2024.
The last time KFC had an Honkai: Star Rail event was back in 2023. This time, the event will be at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai. You'll be able to find it in Building 6.1. There will be a KFC stand designed to look like it was from the Luofu, with an illuminated maple tree to its side. Dan Heng and March, wearing the collaboration outfits, are next to it.
During the event, you'll be able to get various prizes or participate in some activities. If you order the collaboration meals, you'll be able to get a KFC collaboration Pom-Pom fan. If you make a Weibo post using the #HelpMeColonelSanders or #StarRailCarnival and then perform the Crazy Thursday commercial song, you'll be able to get an acrylic stand featuring Dan Heng and March. If you don't want to sing, you can also get the stand if you can catch the KFC promoter, pick a card, and then strike a pose like the character's Skill and yell, "Help me, Colonel Sanders!" Finally, a mysterious guest may show up.
Honkai: Star Rail is now available on the PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. Version 2.2 will go live in Honkai: Star Rail on May 8, 2024.

Cygames reported that Umamusume Pretty Derby has made over 2.4 billion JPY in revenue. That would be about $1.536 million. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]
This information comes from Sensor Tower, which has more charts explaining and breaking down Umamusume Pretty Derby's revenue. Over 72% of the money that Cygames made from mobage between February 2021 and March 2024 came from Umamusume. It beat out other games like Granblue Fantasy and Princess Connect by a large margin.
It was also in the top 10 for revenue in February 2024 in the Japanese app store. This was because the third-anniversary event was taking place in-game. 90% of the revenue comes from within Japan, which makes sense because Umamusume is not readily available outside of it.
As for the demographic, 78% of the players are male, and 24% are female. They're mostly between 19-34 years old. People who play this game are not only fans of other Cygames titles but fans of legitimate horse racing. As a new movie will be coming out soon, along with the spin-off title Party Dash, more fans may start to pick up this game.
Umamusume Pretty Derby is part of the Umamusume multimedia franchise. It has been a very popular title since it came out in February 2021. The game itself has a story mode, and the gameplay loop centers around interacting with and raising the horse girl of your choice. You will help her with her personal issues, as well as train her to become the best racehorse and idol.
Umamusume Pretty Derby is readily available on mobile devices in Japan.

From May 1, 2024, the Pokemon Center online store will start selling merchandise from its "Cafe Poltchageist" line featuring Pikachu. The new merchandise line focuses on tea snacks and items for making tea.
While they're already available for purchase in the online shop, they'll be in the physical locations from May 3, 2024. Those who want to order them might need to use a proxy service. The Pokemon Center online shop does not offer international shipping.
Here is a list of items that are part of the Cafe Poltchageist line of Pokemon goods:
Of these items, only the portable tea set is sold out. It contained a bag that had a container for tea leaves, a matcha bowl, and a whisk. The matcha bowl and container looked like Poltchageist, while the cloth bag had the design of Pikachu helping out in a cafe. All of the goods are green to emulate the color of matcha, as well as the Poltchageist Pokemon.
Poltchageist first appeared in The Teal Mask, which was an expansion scenario in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. It's similar to Polteageist except with a Japanese twist and different typing. It can evolve into Sinistcha, though the item you'll need to do so depends on what form your Poltchageist is.
The Pikachu and Poltchageist merchandise are readily available via the online Pokemon Center shop in Japan.

Square Enix made changes to the name of Creative Business Unit III, as well as the job title for FFXIV Director and Producer Naoki "Yoshi-P" Yoshida. The developer's title has changed from General Manager of Creative Business Unit III to Studio Head of Creative Studio 3. [Thanks, Game Watch!]
The new studio name and job title for Naoki Yoshida appears as part of the new 2025 recruitment website for Square Enix. Specifically, both name changes can be found on the executive interview page for Yoshida. You can see the changes to the studio name and job title appear on the upper banner featuring the developer's headshot.
However, the company still lists Creative Business Unit III and all its other divisions with the old nomenclature. While this is the only Square Enix site that lists the new title for the studio and the developer, it is likely that all other Square Enix development divisions will undergo the same title changes moving forward.
Creative Studio 3, formerly known as Creative Business Unit III, is responsible for developing FFXIV: A Realm Reborn and its expansions, as well as the recent Final Fantasy XVI.
Final Fantasy XIV is readily available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the Dawntrail expansion will arrive on July 2, 2024. Final Fantasy XVI is available for the PS5, and a PC version is also on the way.

Capcom detailed the Street Fighter 6 Akuma command input for his iconic Shun Goku Satsu Critical Art when using the Modern Control scheme. Players using Modern Controls will still be able to perform the iconic move, although it will be a bit more complex than other Super Arts.
You can check out the full social media post here:
While Shun Goku Satsu is not listed as one of the three Super Arts available while using Modern Controls, players can still access the move by switching to Manual Control. This can be done by pressing R3 (or RS if you're using an Xbox controller.)
Players must then input a slight variation of the classic Raging Demon command of light, light, medium, and heavy attack in quick succession. Unlike his other level 3 Super Art in Street Fighter 6, Akuma can only perform Shun Goku Satsu as a Critical Art when his health is at 25% or below.
Akuma is the final character in the Year 1 Character Pass for Street Fighter 6. While Capcom hasn't announced a new character pass, players can expect new fighters to appear in the future.
Street Fighter 6 is now available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC, and the Akuma DLC will appear on May 22, 2024. The "Akuma Arrives! Fighting Pass" will appear on the same day.
