Ten years after launch it's still going strong, with new chapters regularly being released. The danger, however, is that things could get formulaic. We could simply go to a new area, fight a new danger, and come back to tell the tale. Thankfully, Zenimax Online Studios is aware of this trap and is taking steps to avoid it.

Cover detailed how it plans to protect its Hololive and Holostars VTubers from harassment. Cover is working with fellow Vtuber companies Anycolor and UUUM on these measures.
Several companies and organizations are working together to prevent fans and antis from attacking creators other than Hololive VTubers. They are twelve creative companies, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the Criminal Investigation Bureau, the Safer Internet Association (SIA), the Social Media Association of Japan (SMAJ), Authesne Law Office, and GVA Law Office. Cover wants to make sure that its VTubers can stream and produce content without worry, and it will not tolerate any attacks or harassment against them.
Cover's webpage includes comments from creators on its anti-harassment measures to protect VTubers and YouTubers. Hikakin of UUUM stated that he feels safer with so many groups and corporations protecting them. He hopes that more people will know about how serious online harassment can be. Tokino Sora of Hololive states that some hurtful comments have caused her to stream while holding back tears, and it's not something that you get used to no matter how many years you work as a VTuber. She reminds people that words are more powerful than one thinks and hopes that online harassment will disappear one day.
In December 2022, Cover and Anycolor revealed that it wanted to work together to combat defamation against their VTubers. In 2023, Cover made good on this, sending cease and desist notices and filing requests for disclosure of information. Between December 2022 and January 2023, Cover handled 146 cases. More have likely occurred since then.
You can read Cover's entire statement on its website.

The latest showcase trailer for Wuthering Waves provided more details about Jiyan. It features details on how he will fight and hints at story elements surrounding him.
In the trailer, Jiyan is shown to wield two weapons in Wuthering Waves. The first of these is a blade, which he uses to cut through enemies and perform fast attacks. The second is a lance, which also summons a dragon to fight alongside him. This appears to be especially useful when fighting groups of enemies.
The trailer also featured some more details on Jiyan and his story. While we have previously learned that Jiyan is the leader of the Jinzhou Midnight Rangers, his trailer shows a troubled past within this role. After being taunted by another character, Geshu, about his failures as both a doctor and a general, Jiyan sees flashbacks of his troops. However, the trailer also suggests that he draws strength from the support of his troops.
The full trailer can be viewed here:
Jiyan is voiced by Alex Jordan in English, and developers Kuro Games had previously shared clips of him discussing the character. The latest voice actor showcase released by the developer focuses on the Rover avatar character, with both the male and female voice actors getting their own showcases.
Wuthering Waves will launch on PC and mobile devices on May 22, 2024.

Netflix has revealed the release date and new screenshots of Terminator Zero. The Terminator anime spin-off is set to launch on August 29, 2024.
Terminator Zero takes place in 1997, where a soldier from the future has been sent back in time to prevent the arrival of Judgment Day.
