PCGamesN Tuesday, July 9, 2024 1:54 PM  Before the Yakuza or Like a Dragon series truly blew up in English speaking countries with 2017's Yakuza 0, its creators at Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio branched out into a different style of game. The result, 2012's Binary Domain, is an excellent venture into science fiction that swaps out the fist fights of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth for the third person shooting of a Gears of War, presented with the same knack for storytelling that Rya Ga Gotoku's known for. And if you, like too many, have missed out on playing it for yourself, the good news is that it's on a steep discount right now through Steam. |

PCGamesN Tuesday, July 9, 2024 12:38 PM  Does Once Human support private servers? While the idea of playing through constantly changing seasonal content sounds appealing to some, other players would rather relax in the confines of their own private world. Now that the Once Human release date is finally here, players have been looking forward to getting into the survival game since the close beta tests ended. With Once Human seasons lasting around six weeks before the inevitable server wipe resets everyone's progress, some players are worried that all the hard work they've put in will be wasted. This is the main reason why a large portion of the community wants Once Human private servers. Here's what we know about private servers in Once Human so far and whether they'll be available any time soon. Continue reading Does Once Human support private servers?

One of the many modes in WWE's latest wrestling game is the returning MyFaction mode. For those who don't know, this is a variant on the premium mode from other 2K sports games, where the aim is to build a faction of wrestlers to take on online challenges against AI or matches against other player-controlled teams. These WWE 2K24 locker codes are specifically for the MyFaction mode, so if you're looking for other WWE 2K24 unlockables, then we have a separate guide to help you get all the Wrestlemania arenas and MyRise unlockables, as well as the ability to play as all the WWE Legends.

In the post-apocalyptic world of Once Human, an alien substance called Stardust has caused deviations across the land to both wild animals and human beings. Then, there's the cute little Deviants we call friends. Once Human Deviants are sentient toys, critters, or objects that you can capture in the survival game and team up with, with each offering their own buffs and abilities. Some Once Human Deviations might help you cook a little faster, while others can stand alongside you in combat, helping you defeat even the toughest Once Human bosses.

PCGamesN Tuesday, July 9, 2024 11:08 AM  Does Once Human have PvP? Yes, the upcoming survival game does feature both PvP and PvE servers, and seeing as you won't be able to transfer your data between servers, it's worth understanding the difference between the game modes before you jump in. Though there are two types of servers in Once Human, within each server there are Worlds which you can switch between without losing your character progression, unlike servers. These Worlds do let you carry over your gear and items, and you can even use the Move Territory function to transfer over entire buildings. If you're concerned about the servers at launch, keep up to date with the Once Human server status, and whether you'll be able to play with mates across platforms with our Once Human crossplay guide.

PCGamesN Tuesday, July 9, 2024 11:13 AM  In Ark of Charon, the tree of life has been consumed by darkness, and as it died, so too did the world around it. Golems, little goblin-like beings, tend to a newly emerged ray of hope; a seedling mounted on the back of a giant, walking tree creature. But the darkness that killed the tree is still out there, hunting the sprout, so the creature can only rest a while before it needs to move on, outrunning the dark storm. Tranquil base building and intense tower defense combine like the crests and troughs of an ocean wave. In the longer, calmer sections, Ark of Charon is a competent but uninspiring base building game. In the shorter, chaotic combat phases, it's fiendishly difficult, adding a layer of challenge that drives the game forward but soon proves overwhelming.

Losing all your in-game progress can be a difficult pill to swallow, but in a seasonal live-service survival game like Once Human, it's a necessary evil to make way for new content.

Thankfully, we can tell you exactly when to expect the next Once Human server wipe, and offer some handy tips on how to save some of your hard-won items in the free PC game.

The new Logitech G309 Lightspeed not only has a light design, but also comes with a 25K Hero sensor, and Logitech claims it has a 300-hour battery life as well. Logitech is no stranger to this market, having released contenders for the best gaming mouse as recently as last year. In our G Pro X Superlight 2 review, we called it a "clear evolution" over its predecessor and praised its ultralight 60g weight. Logitech states the G309 is "for all players", and this moniker is earned thanks to a set of features that take leading gaming mouse specs but brings them into a shell that willingly compromises on weight to keep the price affordable.

Err, probably, but we wouldn't know anything about illegal activities like that. What you want instead are some excellent, seemingly legal alternatives. Nintendo's world-changing Pokemon series is much beloved, and we PC players certainly deserve a slice of that battle-flavored pie. Let's face it: who doesn't enjoy a spell of kidnapping cute animals and forcing them to scrap, tooth and claw, now and again? Exactly. Despite our beloved format being the spiritual home of the turn-based combat that RPG games are known for, no official main series Pokemon game has yet made the jump to PC. We can't exactly blame Nintendo for wanting to sell more Switch consoles, but we also can't help but feel a small pang of jealousy every time we catch a glimpse of anything yellow and electric out of the corner of our eyes, especially when we know a PC can run Pokemon Scarlet and Violet far better than Nintendo's aging console. Though we still have a long way to go before we can catch 'em all on the best platform there ever was, this is a list of some alternatives available on PC.

After half a decade on shelves, it's still the best low-profile mechanical gaming keyboard going, and quite possibly the best wireless keyboard to boot – while the tenkeyless version, the G915 TKL Lightspeed, is just as lovely to use. Between their nimble performance, crisp mech switches, and impeccable build quality, the only way in which the G915 duo underwhelms is their high pricing – very much the kind you'd want to wait for a Prime Day or Black Friday to dull the pain of.

Chimney Group revealed that it will produce and sell new drinks inspired by characters and demons from Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. The drinks will be available for a limited time from late July 2024 and throughout August 2024.
The list of characters and demons featured in this lineup will be the same as the ones picked earlier by RED° Tokyo Tower. However, the drinks offered will be different.
Nahobino's non-alcoholic fusion drink will see a combination of clear soda marking the protagonist and blue jelly representing Aogami. Meanwhile, the Qadistu-themed red drink will contain alcohol and come with separate bamboo charcoal powder that can turn the drink black to depict the group's vengeance.
Both of the above drinks will be available at the same tax-inclusive price of 759 yen. A parfait dessert themed after Jack Frost's Bufula spell and priced at 803 yen will complete the lineup.
In addition, people who purchase all three drinks simultaneously will be able to receive a bonus holographic sticker for free while stocks last. Atlus and Chimney Group have yet to reveal the sticker's design as of this announcement.
The new Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance-themed drinks will be available at Chimney Group outlets across Japan from July 23, 2024, until September 1, 2024. Sales in each outlet may end earlier if it has run out of stock.

The normal kit costs 3,800 JPY ($23.60) and the bonus kit costs 6,800 JPY ($42.80). Aside from the normal kit that you'll need for the game, the bonus kit will come with exclusive goods. In order to play the game, you'll need to have an app on your smartphone device or PC, as well as the kid.
The story of the escape room is that you're a professional idol with Ichigo Production. One day, you're involved with a scandal that you know nothing about. Since you're forced to stay inside, you can communicate with the members of B-Komachi, as well as Gotanda and Aqua, through calls and texts. Aside from talking to them to gather clues, you can also read various interviews and notes to try and figure out what's going on.
As part of this escape room, SCRAP will release some collaboration Oshi no Ko merchandise. Aside from scenes in the show, these goods show the characters dressed up like detectives. The prices for everything are:
The Oshi no Ko escape room will start from July 19, 2024. You can watch the show, which started its second season, on HIDIVE. YenPress handles the manga outside Japan.

At Anime Expo 2024, Kotobukiya announced a The Ring Sadako Bishoujo figure. Now pre-orders are open at stores like Sideshow for the $160/18,000円 collectible ahead of her March 2025 debut in Japan and estimated April to June 2025 release worldwide.
This is a static figure, though there are optional parts. In each case, Sadako is displayed floating above VHS tapes. It comes with extra tape, so you can adjust the level of film around her. No matter where you purchase her, she comes with the replacement part that shows her eye peeking through her hair instead of only hair obscuring her features. Select, official retailers, such as Kotobukiya direct or Sideshow, also include the "horror face part" that again reveals a single eye peeking through her hair. However, that expression looks more shocked.
Here's the array of official photos shared by Kotobukiya of the figure:
There's also a trailer highlighting different parts of the Sadako The Ring Bishoujo figure. Namely, it calls attention to the three difference face parts. She can be displayed with her hair completely covering her entire head, with one option that shows a single relaxed eye, or with a third option that is described as the horror face part.
The Ring Sadako Bishoujo figure will appear in Japan in March 2025. A worldwide release will follow, with the earliest possible appearance apparently being April 2025.

Koei Tecmo revealed a new KTmodel+ figure based on Reisalin "Ryza" Stout from Gust's Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy. The company has also opened pre-orders for the figure worldwide with help from AmiAmi. This figure will formally appear in May 2025.
The company is accepting pre-orders for the figure in Japan via the KTmodel+ and AmiAmi web stores with a price tag of 32,000 yen. People residing outside Japan can also place pre-orders on AmiAmi's international web store, where the figure is available worldwide at around $199.
The 1/6 scale figure depicting Ryza sitting on a box while eating apples will have a total height of around 185 mm (~7.28 inches). The figure will be mostly static with no movable body parts, but the owner will be able to remove the apples from the set.
Here is how the figure prototype compares to the original illustration:
And here are some of the figure's sample images taken from different sides:
Ryza has been getting more merchandise and figures revealed as one of the most popular characters from Gust's Atelier series. Good Smile Company had previously revealed a Ryza figure in Chinese dress that can be paired with Klaudia Valentz. It also announced that Max Factory will produce a Plamatea model kit of Ryza.
Koei Tecmo will close the pre-order window for the 1/6 scale KTmodel+ figure of Reisalin "Ryza" Stout from Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy on October 6, 2024. It will release the finished figures in May 2025. The company will also showcase the figure's prototype at Wonder Festival 2024 Summer in Makuhari Messe on July 28, 2024.

Like HoYoVerse, Kuro Game teases new Wuthering Waves characters ahead of their release on social media, and it did that to show Zhezhi and Xiangli Yao ahead of 1.2. Both are expected to debut as the featured characters in the next version, which should appear in August 2024.
First, here's the Zhezhi Wuthering Waves reveal. She's going to be an artist, which will likely influence her moveset as a Resonator. No details about her weapon or element were shared.
Meanwhile, Xiangli Yao seems like a character more accustomed to fighting in Wuthering Waves, as he's described as the Principal Investigator for Huaxu Academy. However, this is because he's also a researcher, which could involve heading into the field for explorations.
Before Zhezhi and Xiangli Yao join Wuthering Waves as its newest characters, there's still one more unit about to appear. Changli will join the game on July 22, 2024. She's a five-star Fusion character who wields a sword. She's also tied to Jinhsi, whose banner is live now in-game. Jinhsi is also a five-star character. She wields a broadblade in the game. Her element is Spectro.
Wuthering Waves is available for the PC and mobile devices, and the new characters are expected in the 1.2 update.

Nintendo Kyoto started to sell some Nintendo-themed ties that look fashionable and formal, while letting you proclaim your love for certain games. The ties come in a bright red and a dark navy blue (with red accents) and are only available at the one location.
These ties are exclusive to Nintendo Kyoto, which means they're not available in the Tokyo or Osaka stores. They're part of a collaboration with Nekado, a tie company in Kyoto that was established in 1940. Ties from Nekado use nishijin-ori silk, as well as produce a rather unique feel and shine. Nekado does offer international shipping. However, it's unclear if it will deliver these Nintendo ties outside of Japan, as Nekado does not feature these products on its webpage.
The Nintendo Kyoto website does not have any information on the ties. Nekado ties can get pretty pricey, such as 13,200 JPY ($82.10) for a traditional design. Since these are collaboration ties, they might be more expensive than that. The red tie features silhouettes of recognizable Nintendo characters, such as Pikmin, Mario, Link, and Isabelle. Meanwhile, the blue tie features symbols like the Triforce, the Pikmin logo, and the Animal Crossing logo.
The Nintendo ties are exclusive to Nintendo Kyoto and are not available online.

A new Honkai: Star Rail trailer focuses on Jade and her method of discipline when it comes to her underlings in the IPC. This is likely the last trailer for her before she debuts as a playable character on July 10, 2024.
The trailer starts with Jade interrogating and attacking a spy within the IPC ranks. It shows off the animations for Jade's skills, including her ability to form a contract with her team. Near the end of the trailer, it shows her working in tandem with her pet snake to defeat the mooks around her.
You can watch the trailer here:
It's also available in Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
Jade will be a 5-star Quantum Erudition character who can also support party members with her Skill. She can form a contract with an ally and grant them the Debt Collector status, which gives them a SPD bonus, as well as deal additional Quantum DMG based on Jade's ATK. This will consume a percentage of their HP though. Jade can also become a Debt Collector and she won't lose HP, though she won't gain the SPD bonus. Like her fellow IPC Stonehearts Topaz and Aventurine, Jade also focuses on follow-up attacks with her Talent, gaining stacks when she or her Debt Collector attack. Once she gains enough stacks, she'll unleash a Quantum follow-up atack.
Honkai: Star Rail is readily available on the PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. Jade will make her playable debut in Honkai: Star Rail on July 10, 2024.

MeeToMa has revealed that it will set up multiple Pop Up Shops that sell Armored Core 6 merchandise to help celebrate the game's first anniversary.
Even though the shops will feature Armored Core 6, the lineup will not include model kits or action figures. People can instead expect to see acrylic-based goods featuring the AC units in both normal and chibi/deformed proportions.
The list will also include a 60-page visual book. Although it will be smaller than Kadokawa's art book, this book will still contain illustrations and descriptions of the 36 AC units that appeared in the game.
Here is the full list of merchandise in the pop up shops, with prices in Japanese yen:
And here are the upcoming physical locations and times for the pop up shops to appear:
MeeToMa will also put up the items for online pre-orders on its web store, with two windows set to open from July 10, 2024, until August 31, 2024, and October 19, 2024, until November 17, 2024. However, it is highly likely that these items will only be available for shipping domestically inside Japan. Even though the web store has a Buyee widget, it still does not support international shipments for items from other notable franchises like Guilty Gear.
The new Armored Core 6 Pop Up Shops will appear to mark the first anniversary of the game's release. Bandai Namco launched Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC simultaneously worldwide on August 25, 2023.

The official Zenless Zone Zero X (Twitter) account has posted information on an upcoming playable Agent, Seth Lowell. He'll be a member of the New Eridu Public Security, along with future characters Zhu Yuan and Qingyi.
There's little information on Seth as a playable character so far. According to his introduction, as well as voice lines from other characters, Seth is a relatively new member of the Criminal Investigation Special Response Team. He likes to play innocent and pretend that he's a lot more harmless than he actually is. While we don't know what role he'll play on a team just yet, we can see that he fights with what looks like a baton.
Nazeeh Tarsha voices Seth in English. Tarsha's previous roles include Alhaitham in Genshin Impact, Lauda in Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury, and Kafka in Kaiju No. 8. As for Japanese, Kengo Takanashi will play him. Some of Takanashi's previous roles include Yamanbagiri Chougi in Touken Ranbu, Haruto in Seven Senses of the Reunion, and Kazuki in The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic.
Zenless Zone Zero is readily available on the PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. Seth will likely appear in the Zenless Zone Zero gacha in Version 1.1.
