PCGamesN Thursday, July 25, 2024 3:00 AM  Somewhere between Manor Lords, Civilization 6, and Cities Skylines 2, there lies the perfect hybrid strategy game. You want the sweeping history - the multiple eras - but also the small-scale and people management. Carefully planning every aspect of urban development is compelling, but it adds an extra wrinkle if your city grows organically, and has a personality independent of your decisions. After some promising early footage, a new medieval strategy and city-building game is finally hitting Steam Early Access. Somewhere between the Colossal Order, Firaxis, and Slavic Magic trinity, there sits Memoriapolis.

There's a new, free character in Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash, as everyone has access to Noritoshi Kamo via 1.2.0. A new trailer also appeared to give us an idea of how he'll fight in the game.
The version of Noritoshi Kamo in Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash is based off his earliest appearances. As such, he wears a form of the Kyoto Jujutsu High uniform and has his longer hairstyle. As he is an archer, he is more of a ranged fighter than other characters in the game. We also get to see his Blood Manipulation and Flowing Red Scale in action in his moveset.
Here's the latest Noritoshi Kamo gameplay footage. It also hints at events in the manga and anime by pitting him against Megumi Fushiguro.
Bandai Namco and Byking have regularly supported this Jujutsu Kaisen fighting game with both free and paid characters since its launch. For example, fellow Kyoto Jujutsu High students Mai Zen'in and Momo Nishimiya are free ones. The student versions of Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto appeared as paid add-ons.
Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash is available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC. Noritoshi Kamo is available now.

Chris "Kirbopher" Niosi announced he will no longer appear as Moze in Honkai: Star Rail. There's no information as to who will replace him as the new character.
You can read the entire letter via Niosi's Twitter (X) account. In the statement, he stated that he told his agent to inform miHoYo that he would step back from being the voice actor for Moze in Honkai: Star Rail. This is due to the "undue pain" he would cause for so many people, including his past victims. He noted that none of his actions "have ever been criminal" and that he's "worked in the industry without incident for the past few years." However, he has "more work to do before the public feels comfortable" with him appearing in such a major property.
He also requested that people not harass voice actors who have supported him since the announcement. These includes Kyle McCarley, Adin Rudd (SAM), and Griffin Puatu (Sunday). At the end of the letter, Niosi stated that he plans to continue therapy and to learn from the past.
In July 2019, Niosi's ex-girlfriend accused him of emotional abuse, as well as sexually manipulative behavior. Several other ex-girlfriends and colleagues came out after this blog post to corroborate these allegations, as well as share their own horror stories. He made an apology on his Tumblr blog, though it's not there anymore. At the time, Nintendo removed him from his role as Byleth in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, on top of him breaking his NDA. Niosi's reveal as Moze in Honkai: Star Rail came at a time when people were viewing HoYoVerse with a more critical lens due to the Natlan reveal in Genshin Impact.
This is not the first time that a voice actor in a HoYoVerse game stepped down or was removed from a role. Oz's Chinese voice actor in Genshin Impact committed adultery with fans a month into his marriage. miHoYo removed him at the time, causing Fischl to disappear for a bit in the early months of the game. The company also dismissed Elliot Gindi, Tighnari's English voice actor in the same game, after allegations arose of grooming and predatory behavior towards minors in his Discord server.
Honkai: Star Rail is readily available on the PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. As Chris Niosi is no longer the English voice actor for Moze in Honkai: Star Rail, we will need to wait for the company to reveal his replacement.

Ahead of SDCC 2024, Bandai Namco announced SH Figuarts Dragon Ball Daima figures of Goku, Vegeta, and Piccolo. There's no release window for any of the three characters yet, but photo galleries of each painted prototype appeared.
The Goku and Vegeta Dragon Ball Daima SH Figuarts figures stand at 70mm tall (about 2.75 inches), while Piccolo is 85mm (over 3 inches). To compare, a normal SH Figuarts Goku is typically around 5 inches tall. The initial photos for the Goku model show four different face plates and his Power Pole. Piccolo and Vegeta's photos seem to show three face plates each, and both of those characters will come with extra crossed arm parts. The Piccolo will also come with a cloth cape.
Here are the initial photos for all three characters:
Bandai Namco and Toei Animation have been sharing more information about Dragon Ball Daima ahead of SDCC and its October 2024 air date. A new trailer showed some of the cast members of the show in July 2024. It will also be one of the featured series at Bandai Namco's Dragon Ball booth at SDCC 2024 between July 25-28, 2024.
The Dragon Ball Daima SH Figuarts Goku, Piccolo, and Vegeta figures are in development. Dragon Ball Daima will air in October 2024 in Japan.

Cerevo will re-run the 10th anniversary edition of the Dominator from Psycho-Pass. Pre-orders opened on July 23, 2024 and the gun will cost 148,500 JPY ($955.15) or $1229. [Thanks, Famitsu!]
Like the original version, there are over a hundred voice variations from Noriko Hidaka (who voices the Dominator in the show) that'll play when you hold the grip or point the gun at someone. However, the 10th anniversary model has a slightly modified interior. Everything else is the same, so it's unlikely that you'll notice anything different. It'll also come with a protector case that has a serial number.
This is a 1/1 replica of the Dominator from Psycho-Pass, with Production I.G. (the animation studio that created the show) helping to supervise the recreation. Aside from the voice lines from Hidaka, the Dominator also has over 200 LED lights on it and is capable of transforming. You can connect it to a smartphone app to measure your Criminal Coefficient store, as well as your friend's. The app is available via the Google Play Store or App Store. As well, you can charge it via USB so you don't need to worry about replacement batteries.
In the show itself, the Dominator is a weapon that the PSB uses when subduing criminals and latent criminals. Inspectors and Enforcers can only fire Dominators with approval from the Sibyl System (a Big Brother-like program that people use for everything, including calculating an individual's criminal potential). Depending on the situation, the Dominator can fire paralyzing shots to non-lethally contain a criminal, or a more dangerous one that can reduce them to a bloody goop.
Psycho-Pass is readily available on streaming services like Crunchyroll. Pre-orders for the Psycho-Pass 10th Anniversary Edition Dominator model are open right now and they'll ship out in Winter 2024 in Japan. The global store lists the shipping window as August 2024. There's only a limited number in supply so pre-orders will close as soon as Cerevo runs out.
