PCGamesN Thursday, October 24, 2024 8:21 PM  There seems to be a big influx of medieval games at the minute, but I feel like few will truly embody the power fantasy of being a medieval ruler like Liegecraft. Why? Well, it fuses together the relentless empire expansion of strategy games like Civilization with all the decision making, interactions, and storytelling you'd expect to see in an RPG.

Megahouse will release a Rubik's Cube based off One Piece. It'll come out in late March 2025 and cost 5500 JPY ($36.25). [Thanks, Hobby Watch!]
The Rubik's Cube will come in a case that resembles the Gomu Gomu no Mi. So you'll be able to take it with you everywhere. You can also use the case itself for other objects. There's even a loop at the side of it for you to fit in a carabinas, which would make it easy to take with you when you're going outside.
As for the cube itself, it depicts how Luffy looks in his Gear 1 to Gear 5 forms. The whole set will also come with a stand, so once you finish the puzzle, you can put it on display in your home. When it comes out, you'll be able to purchase it from stores like Premium Bandai, Mugiwara Store, and Jump Characters Store.
This isn't the first time this year that Megahouse released a Rubik's Cube that's a collaboration with another company or intellectual property. In May 2024, it released a Hello Kitty Rubik's Cube to recommend the 50th anniversary of both Hello Kitty and the Rubik's Cube toy. Technically speaking, you can solve it by placing all of the different Hello Kitty logos and designs in chronological order. But unlike the One Piece one, the Hello Kitty cube didn't create a coherent picture. So even if you didn't solve it, it would still look alright.
You can watch One Piece on streaming services like Crunchyroll, and the manga is available in English via Viz Media.

Variants of the Jack Frost from Soul Hackers 2 will appear in gacha machines from late November 2024. These include versions of Jack Frost that look like differently-flavored ice cream or shaved ice. [Thanks, Hobby Watch!]
As mentioned earlier, these Jack Frost toys will appear in gacha machines around Japan and will cost 300 JPY per attempt. That would convert to around $2. In total, there are six variations of Jack Frost figures and the name of the collection is "Shaved Ice Frost," which is a reference to how the color schemes look like common flavors of shaved ice syrups.
The Jack Frost variants you can get are: Blue Hawaii Frost, Strawberry Frost, Milk Chocolate Frost, Melon Frost, and Lemon Frost. All of them have bodies that look like their flavor, while all of the accents like the hood and shoes are white.
Jack Frost isn't just a mascot for Soul Hackers 2. It's one of the mascots for the Shin Megami Tensei series as a whole. Aside from appearing in the majority of its fantastical games, it also shows up on Atlus's social media accounts and as merchandise. It appeared outside of the series as well, such as in Etrian Odyssey and Puzzle and Dragons.
Soul Hackers 2 is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC.
