Kotaku Friday, August 16, 2024 12:40 PM  The Star Wars: Rogue One prequel series Andor is set to return with its second season in 2025. And its main star says that when it finally returns, it will make Rogue One feel like a "different film." |
Kotaku Friday, August 16, 2024 12:30 PM  There's always one weapon in a video game that most people avoid, but a select few claim is the most slept-on in the whole game. In Fallout 76, a number could claim this title, but the Railway Rifle comes to mind first and foremost. |

PCGamesN Friday, August 16, 2024 6:53 PM  There's something about a smithy that draws me in like a moth to a furnace. The smell of charcoal, the hammering of steel on steel, the unbearable heat from the forge. It's all wrapped up in a feeling that just seems right, and fantasy smithies even more so - given how they form the backbone of many epic narratives.

PCGamesN Friday, August 16, 2024 6:44 PM  Seeing as the original Splitgate was widely known as 'the lovechild of Halo and Portal', the folks at developer 1047 are no strangers to comparisons. With its freshly-revealed sequel, Splitgate 2, even more comparisons are on the way thanks to its advanced movement system and new faction system. However, 1047's CEO Ian Proulx says that while he acknowledges the resemblances, he is confident that Splitgate 2 will continue the original's legacy of being a breath of fresh air in the FPS genre.

It's not the current run of extraction shooters - though we're definitely seeing a cavalcade of Escape from Tarkov-likes appear on the market - but rather it's all to do with the perception of games containing pay-to-win mechanics.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, August 16, 2024 12:41 PM  Baroque wilderness-builder Nightingale has not been doing brilliantly since Ed Thorn described the launch early access version as "a numbers grind disguised as a gaslamp survival game". We had moderately high hopes for it before the early access release - I personally enjoy the fairytale setting, with its pop-up Pucks and magic umbrellas, but I also think I've raised enough hovels on procedurally generated maps for one lifetime. Still, I'd quite like it to come good, if only so I can justify op-eds about Lewis Carroll, and I'm somewhat encouraged by what I've heard of the game's forthcoming Realms Rebuilt update. |

Shift Up announced the three Evangelion characters banners appearing in Goddess of Victory: NIKKE alongside the crossover event will be Asuka Shikinami Langley, Mari Makinami Illustrious, and Rei Ayanami. These will begin appearing after the update on August 22, 2024.
The first banner to appear will be the one for Asuka. That starts on August 22, 2024. She will be followed by Rei on August 29, 2024. Finally, the Mari banner appears on September 5, 2024. None of the three will be added to other banners like Ordinary Recruit after. All three banners end on September 19, 2024.
It hasn't noted if Misato Katsuragi will also be playable yet. She has appeared in imagery and the newly released key art leading up to the crossover.
Here is the Evangelion NIKKE key art for the crossover that shows Asuka, Mari, Misato, and Rei. It again points out the event is tied to the Rebuild of Evangelion film series, as the text on it notes, "You can (not) evade."
Goddess of Victory: NIKKE is available on PCs and mobile devices, and the Asuka, Mari, and Rei banners will feature a staggered rollout throughout August and September 2024. The three will all end on September 19, 2024.

Back in Japan in June 2024, Bandai Namco released an Ichiban Kuji NieR: Automata merchandise lottery that included a 2B Art Scale bust as its B prize. Now, retailers like Amazon and Entertainment Earth are selling that Ichibansho item separately for $69.99.
The 2B Art Scale bust is almost eight inches tall (20cm). It includes her head, shoulders, and upper chest. She's also wearing her typical outfit in it. The figure is designed as such that someone could choose to display her with her goggles on, or remove the wrap so that you can see her eyes.
Here are some closer photos of the item:
When it will arrive varies. Entertainment Earth noted that it expects the statue to appear sometime in October 2024. However, the Amazon product page included a November 1, 2024 release date.
2B is frequently used as an inspiration for new figures and merchandise based on the NieR: Automata series. For example, Kotobukiya announced a new ARTFX J figure of her back in July 2024. The acrylic blocks of different characters sold at Comiket 104 also included one of her among them.
NieR: Automata is available on the PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and Windows PC. There is also an anime adaptation that is available to stream via Crunchyroll. The chiban Kuji NieR: Automata 2B Art Scale bust is expected to ship outside Japan in October 2024 at the earliest.
