     Corsair Custom Lab just made it super easy to style your gaming gear

Ever wanted to move away from the boring black or white (or pink) designs of mouse gaming peripherals but don't fancy dismantling your gear and going to town with a spray can? Corsair has you covered with its new Corsair Custom Lab service.

Corsair's new peripheral personalization platform has been launched at Computex where we're reporting direct from the show floor. Lab lets you select from a whole range of colors and patterns and have them applied to your choice of M75 Air mouse - currently our choice of best wireless gaming mouse, K64 Plus gaming keyboard, or MM300 mouse pad. Corsair plans to add more options but for now these three are what's on offer.

     Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 improves on this one big Dragon Age feature

Jumping into the second part of a game series can be an overwhelming proposition. For films or even books it's fairly simple to go back and rewatch or re-read the earlier parts but in gaming it's completely different. You can be looking at 40+ hours of gameplay and if it's a narrative game you may end up with a different story to the one you originally had. The developer of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is well aware of this issue and is taking some creative measures to make sure fans both new and old are catered for in this hefty sequel.

genshin impact emilie

HoYoVerse has revealed Emilie, who will be a new Dendro characters in Genshin Impact. Emilie is a renowned perfumer from Fontaine, though there's virtually no other information on her kit or weapon at this point.

Emilie had appeared earlier in Genshin Impact during the Roses and Muskets event. According to text from the game, Emilie is a self-employed perfumer whose work is very popular with the fashionable ladies of Fontaine. Her perfumes seem to focus on fresh, floral, and fruity scents. In her introduction post, Neuvillette expresses awe at the idea of using "fragrance in liquid form" to regulate mood.

Due to the usual timing of when HoYoVerse shows its drip marketing for characters, we can expect Emilie to come out some time in Version 4.8. Though we don't know much about her yet, fans are already making their opinions known online. Even in the direct replies of HoYoVerse's Tweet, we can see a wide variety of people loving her design and saying it's unique. Then, there are people saying the outfit looks fanmade or calling her ugly.

Some other fans are comparing our final look to concept art from HoYoVerse. While everyone can have their own opinion on the design, it's important to remember that some concept art of Genshin Impact characters are leaks. Concept art also wildly differs from the final product. It's not unusual for a character or work to be vastly different from the pre-production stages.

Genshin Impact is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices.

yu-gi-oh world premiere pack 2024

Konami will release the World Premiere Pack for Yu-Gi-Oh on September 28, 2024. Each booster pack will cost 176 JPY ($1.15) and each pack contains five cards.

More information on the World Premiere Pack 2024 will appear in future issues of V Jump and Weekly Shonen Jump. We don't know which cards will come out. However, we do know that it will contain previously TCG-only cards from packs between Duelist Nexus and Legacy of Destruction.

The Yu-Gi-Oh World Premiere Pack 2024 is a collection of cards that first debuted overseas. In other words, this pack will introduce cards that originally were only TCG to the OCG. While both use Yu-Gi-Oh cards to play, there are some major differences between them. For one thing, like in this case here, the OCG and TCG sometimes get cards at different times. Some cards may not appear in the other version at all. On a more competitive level, the two versions have different Forbidden and Limited list. 

Here is a list of some cards that were available in last year's World Premiere Pack:

  • Bayerock Dragon
  • Gate Guardian of Water and Thunder
  • Moray of Avarice
  • Right Leg of the Forbidden One
  • Tilting Entrainment
  • Xyz Align

It should be noted that for some cards, such as the "Right Leg of the Forbidden One," the World Premiere Pack just brought over a card that the TCG had reprinted. So not all cards will be completely brand new.

The Yu-Gi-Oh World Premiere Pack 2024 will come out on September 28, 2024.

mori calliope hiatus

Calliope Mori will go on hiatus, and there is no information about when she's coming back. She did so that she will be around for the release of her new song with Kobo Kanaeru, "Midnight Mayoi," though.

This announcement comes shortly after Calliope Mori's earlier break for a knee surgery. According to the hololive English Vtuber, there were complications during the surgery and she was still in pain afterwards. While she still held members-only streams, she said she probably wouldn't return to regular streaming until the end of May 2024. While Calliope did not say anything in her announcement as to the precise reasons for her break, the lingering effects from the surgery may be the reason. All she said in her tweet was "I think it's best I take a step back for a while," and then concludes it with wanting to see everyone again soon.

Calliope Mori is a member of the first generation of hololive English Myth. Other VTubers who debuted alongside her include Kiara Takanashi and Gawr Gura. Aside from streaming video games and such, Calliope also sings covers and original songs. As of the time of writing, she has over 2.38 million subscribers on her YouTube channel.

Calliope Mori will be on hiatus for a while. It's unknown when she'll come back to her regular streaming schedule. Her new song "Midnight Mayoi" will come out on June 6, 2024 at 9 PM PST/June 7, 2024 at 12 AM EST.

rusty rabbit

We now have a release date for Rusty Rabbit. Nitroplus' lapin side scroller will come out on September 23, 2024.

Rusty Rabbit is a side scrolling action game in which you play as Stamp. Stamp is a rabbit who make look cute, but he's an "old soul" who pilots a mech suit. One day, while collecting junk like usual, he discovers some clues about his missing daughter. In order to search for more, he starts to explore underground ruins and discover the secret behind the world. Gameplay will let you use your mech to destroy blocks, loot treasure, and dash through the various mazes. You can also improve both Stamp himself and his mech with a progression system similar to an RPG.

Gen Urobuchi is the writer who came up with the concept for Rusty Rabbit. People may be familiar with his past work on Fate/Zero, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and The Song of Saya. Urobuchi's nickname in fandom is "Urobutcher" due to his dark stories, tragic plot twists, and tendency to kill off characters. Not all of his works are like that though, so there's a chance that Rusty Rabbit might be yet another outlier from urobuchi's usual style.

Rusty Rabbit will come out for the PlayStation 5 and Windows PC via Steam on September 23, 2024. Pre-orders will open on June 4, 2024.

     Destiny 2 The Final ShapeWith the closing chapter of the Light and Dark saga in Destiny 2 upon us, maybe the last chance to level grind is just around the corner. To become the best Guardian you can be, you will want to be able to smash through the soft cap, hard cap, and Pinnacle level cap in Destiny 2: The Final Shape. Here is what you'll be aiming for. New cap levels in Destiny 2 A few changes have been made to the level caps in The Final Shape. These are designed to make it easier for New Lights to get to that soft cap. Rather than the usual 150 levels needed between floor level and soft cap, it is only 40 this time around. This means simply playing through the Final Shape campaign will have all players right at the soft cap immediately. Screenshot: Bungie The new caps levels in Destiny 2 are: Power Floor: 1900 Soft Cap: 1940 Powerful Cap: 1990 Hard Cap/Pinnacle Cap: 2000 The jump from the power level floor to the soft cap can be achieved really easily in The Final Shape...
