It's not Friday the 13th's Jason, it's not the classic version of Freddy from Nightmare on Elm Street - in fact it's a different Freddy altogether.

PCGamesN Monday, August 5, 2024 6:24 PM  I don't usually let myself get swept up in the annual wave of pre-release Call of Duty hysteria - I've been burned too many times by the series in recent years. However, this time around I'm making an exception because everything that I've seen about Black Ops 6 so far is looking mighty fine to me. Zombies is one of the biggest aspects I'm excited for - a proper return to round-based action from the maestros at Treyarch - and two teasers that just dropped on social media appear to be revealing a new Perk-A-Cola and a new enemy type that you'll be facing in BO6.

PCGamesN Monday, August 5, 2024 5:20 PM  One of the most wonderful things about the recent surge of boomer shooters is seeing how different developers interpret what a retro FPS should be. Some like Amid Evil look to Heretic for inspiration, others like Dusk bounce off the Quake springboard. Then you get a game like Impaler, which combines a whole ton of influences. You've got bits of Doom, a hint of Rise of the Triad, the arena combat of Quake 3, and even a bit of Unreal Tournament's verticality. Now a brand new update has hit the game, retitling it to Impaler Gold, and there's loads to unpack.

It has long been perceived that those using a controller - whether that be on a console or on a PC - gives you a serious advantage over those using mouse and keyboard. Well, it seems like Respawn is finally set to agree, as Apex Legends Season 22 will include a significant nerf to aim assist for those using a controller in lobbies where there are also PC players.

I don't listen to this voice very much, mainly because I know I'd be absolutely useless if swordplay ever did become part of my life and I would rapidly lose my limbs, and potentially my life.

Another Puella Magi Madoka Magica staple is confirmed as a playable Magia Exedra character, as we'll be able to be Homura Akemi in the game as well. A first trailer appeared for her. Keep in mind though, it does involve some Madoka Magica Homura spoilers if you aren't familiar with the anime and past games.
Editor's Note: There are some Homura Akemi Puella Magi Madoka Magica spoilers in the Magia Exedra trailer below.
The latest Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra trailer is more about establishing the character and showing one major attack than showing off a lot of her gameplay. It begins with Homura inside of a Witch's Labyrinth. She asserts, "I can do it on my own, and I'll do it over and over." From there, we get to see an animation that looks like her summoning an attack in the series. She brings out a major rocket launcher, which she crouches on, that shoots an unseen opponent. All of the text references her actions in the original anime for the sake of Madoka.
The video then shows Homura's official art and voice actress for the game. Chiwa Saito will play her in Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra. She also played her in the anime, games like Madoka Magica: Magia Record, and in other game crossovers involving the series. People may also recognize her as the voice of Jean in Genshin Impact, Changli in Wuthering Waves, Elaine in Trails Through Daybreak, Tamamo no Mae in the Fate/ series, and Aoi in Danganronpa.
While we've seen screenshots of Madoka Magica characters like Homura Akemi, Sayaka Miki, Kyoko Sakura, and Mami Tomoe in parties before, Aniplex only confirmed Madoka Kaname and Iroha Tamaki in official trailers so far.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra will be available on the PC via Steam and mobile devices.

A 1/7 scale figure of Anby Demarra from Zenless Zone Zero is open for pre-orders in Japan. It will come out in July 2025.
The Zenless Zone Zero Anby Demarra figure is from Apex, which had worked on multiple figures for HoYoVerse games in the past. It costs 22,400 JPY, which is approximately $153.90. AmiAmi has warned that the shipping costs may be on the pricier side for this figure, as it's quite big and heavy.
Anby is looking like she's ready for battle in this figure. She's got a hand on her sword and her other one outstretched. Her expression is her usual neutral one. Apex seems to have put a lot of care into the sculpting, between all the details of her outfit and the way her skirt billows around her thighs. The stand for the figure looks like a film reel, with the welcome slogan for New Eridu on it.
Anby is the poster girl for Zenless Zone Zero (in that her face is on the icon like Paimon in Genshin Impact and March 7th for Honkai: Star Rail). When you start the game, you can get a copy of her for free. She's a member of the Cunning Hares along with Billy Kid and Nicole. Though she's usually very stoic and quiet, she has a bit of a silly side. For example, she sometimes conflates movies with reality.
Zenless Zone Zero is readily available on the PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. The Zenless Zone Zero Anby figure will come out in July 2025.

Massive Monster and Devolver Digital announced The Pilgrim Pack, which is a new piece of DLC for Cult of the Lamb with additional Follower forms and unique quests. It'll come out on August 12, 2024 alongside the new update.
The Pilgrim Pack will be a bit different from what people expect from Cult of the Lamb. It'll be an interactive digital comic, through which you can access new secret quests, Follower forms, outfits, and accessories.
You can check out the Cult of the Lamb new DLC trailer below:
Instead of playing as a cult leader like you do in the main game, it seems like the Pilgrim story will focus on Followers instead. You'll be helping Jalala and Rinor journeying in search of a new home, only for dangerous cultists to stalk them in hopes of sacrificing them to their gods. As The Pilgrim Pack will include two unique Follower quests, it's likely that you'll be able to further explore Jalala and Rinor's stories outside of the comic as well.
As a reminder, The Pilgrim Pack will be paid DLC. It will come out on the same date as the Unholy Alliance free update, but if you want to experience it, you'll need to pay some money. The Pilgrim Pack will cost $6.99 on PC and $8.99 on consoles.
Cult of the Lamb is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC. The Pilgrim Pack will appear in Cult of the Lamb on August 12, 2024, and it will not be part of the free Unholy Alliance update.

Inside of the book, there will be stills and images from the game, as well as behind-the-scenes notes on the design process. NieR Re[in]carnation ended service on April 29, 2024 after around three years.
