     RPG fans rejoice, a Disco Elysium spiritual successor is in the works

Disco Elysium is a caliber of game that only comes once a generation. It strayed into areas relatively untouched by videogames, telling its narrative through unique mechanics and peerless storytelling. Feeling at times like a more bereft version of China Miéville's Perdido Street Station combined with Planescape Torment, it is an RPG masterpiece that stands with the best in the genre. While fans have been desperate for a sequel that will most likely never appear, a spiritual successor is on the horizon thanks to a new developer made up of many of the minds behind Disco Elysium.

     The best Diablo 4 runes - all runewords and their effects

What are Diablo 4 runes and runewords? The feature is one Diablo fans will recognize, the idea being that you could combine individual runes into runewords and insert them into socketed items, adding to their powers and abilities. Over a year after the ARPG game's release, the iconic mechanic is finally back - but it's not quite the same.

We know that D2's beloved runeword system was not available in Diablo 4 at launch, but the Vessel of Hatred DLC finally brings the feature to D4 players. Hopefully, it will be added as free content in the future. For now, with the DLC, whichever of the five Diablo 4 classes you choose, runes can be combined and added to your items, just like D4 gems, to allow for spell casting boosts and powerful skill buffs. Here's everything we know about Diablo 4 runewords so far.

     All 46 Metaphor ReFantazio Archetypes and how to unlock them

What are the Metaphor ReFantazio Archetypes? Doing away with the monster-hunting elements found in Persona and the mainline Shin Megami Tensei games, Metaphor ReFantazio's abilities are locked behind different classes known as 'Archetypes.' There are 46 Archetypes in total, each providing a distinct suite of abilities, as well as their own strengths and weaknesses.

As we state in our glowing Metaphor ReFantazio review, "Archetype design is tight," so you'll want to use the 'Inherit' feature to bring over skills from multiple unlocked jobs. Certain Archetypes require specific combinations before they can be tapped into. Additionally, each Archetype awards a permanent stat bonus to the character it's maxed on. As such, tracking down the best Metaphor ReFantazio farming spots and taking your time to level as many as possible is crucial to making the most of the Metaphor ReFantazio cast at your disposal. To learn all you need to know about the RPG's Archetypes, including the recommended unlock order for each character read on.

A representative of Longdue told us that "the studio isn't ready to talk about specific names at the moment beyond the people mentioned in the press release, but they are looking forward to sharing more about the game and the studio in the future". They did, however, confirm that Disco Elysium's lead writer and designer Robert Kurvitz and art director Aleksander Rostov are not involved.

Perhaps it's just a testament to the archetypal strength of the image, honestly, but there's no denying this fallen giant king looks especially gorgeous in Bylina. I'll move on from his large majesty for a moment though, because it isn't the only thing this one looks to have going for it.

It's a single player action RPG, to start with - a genre I'm always interested in watching evolve in ways not tied to its usual form as a good-boy-points-vomiting loot casino. It's also based on Slavic folklore, something that's not too uncommon but strikes a wonderful mix between blackly funny whimsy and intense dread when done right. Also, I'll take more discordant folk music any time. Trailer below.

nobuyo oyama doraemon voice actress

Nobuyo Oyama, the original voice actress for Doraemon and more beloved characters, died on September 29, 2024 from natural causes. She was 90 years old. [Thanks, Yahoo!]

Oyama started her voice acting career in 1956. Her prominent roles include Doraemon in Doraemon, and she portrayed this role for 26 years. Other characters include Monokuma from Danganronpa and Katsuo Isono in Sazae-san. Her husband, the late Keisuke Sagawa, announced in 2015 that Oyama had dementia, which meant an indefinite hiatus in her career. Because of this, Tarako replaced Monokuma for titles like Danganronpa V3. Outside of voice acting, she has acted in live-action films and dramas, as well as worked as a writer, singer, and essayist.

Oyama's death marks yet another major death in the anime and manga industry in Japan in 2024. Earlier this year, Akira Toriyama (creator of Dragon Ball) and Atsuko Tanaka (voice actress of characters like Motoko in Ghost in the Shell) passed away. Tarako, the replacement voice for Oyama's Doraemon and the voice actress of Maruko in Chibi Maruko-chan, passed away in March 2024. A few months later, Noriko Ohara, who voiced Nobita in Doraemon and Doronjo in Yatterman, passed away in July 2024.

Fugue Is a New Form of Tingyun in Honkai: Star Rail

HoYoVerse finally released the new Honkai: Star Rail drip marketing that revealed the other upcoming character will be Fugue, a five-star form of Tingyun. She will be a part of the 2.7 update alongside a playable version of Penacony's Sunday.

Fugue will be a five-star Nihility unit when she debuts. She'll deal fire damage when she attacks. As before, she remains a Foxian. Her outfit and hairstyle changed in this new form, however.

Here's the official announcement:

https://twitter.com/honkaistarrail/status/1844588746605519357

The original four-star Tingyun has been a part of Honkai: Star Rail since the game's launch. She is a four-star character who is constantly available, though it is easier to get her when she's one of the focus units on a five-star featured banner. That version of her deals lightning damage, and she's part of the Harmony path designed to buff allies. 

It isn't unusual for existing characters in Honkai: Star Rail to get a new form. Tingyun and Fugue are one example. The previous one was Dan Heng and Imbibitor Lunae. In each case, the original character was a four-star unit. Then, the follow-up ended up being a five-star one. In each of these cases, the paths and elements were different for the updated five-star forms.

Honkai: Star Rail is available for the PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and Fugue will be a part of the 2.7 update. Tingyun, as a four-star, is a permanent part of the gacha.
