While we already knew about a lot of the new content, including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-themed events and weapons, Raven Software has now got into the nitty gritty. Alongside the usual array of weapon balancing changes, you'll find the addition of 16 helpful quality of life features and a controversial loadout change that is part of Raven's fight against "cheese" mechanics in Warzone.

PCGamesN Wednesday, February 19, 2025 2:28 PM  Despite being in an incomplete early access form, Hades 2 is already a contender to become one of the best roguelikes ever. We'll need to wait until it's totally finished before judging it against its exquisite, genre-leading predecessor, but Supergiant appears to be doing everything right so far. A brand new major update - the second of Hades 2's life so far - has just arrived, and not only does it flesh out, rework, and improve many key systems, it also adds in a final encounter for the surface route that sees you reach the top of Mount Olympus. However, despite the huge amount of content being added, Supergiant says it's still not confident enough to talk about 1.0 plans for Hades 2 just yet.

The military shooter's free multiplayer offering, which takes on both Battlefield and extraction games like Escape From Tarkov, has been well received and attracts strong player counts on Steam, and later this week it'll introduce its Black Hawk Down campaign. However, less than 48 hours before it launches, developer Team Jade has announced a last minute u-turn - a very good u-turn, mind you. Delta Force's Black Hawk Down campaign will no longer be a paid DLC - it'll be free for everyone. MORE FROM PCGAMESN: Delta Force guns, Delta Force operators, Delta Force loadouts |

For just $44.99, you can bag yourself a stylish Hall Effect controller that's quiet, wireless, and super responsive thanks to a 1,000Hz polling rate. Whether or not the GameSir Super Nova is good enough to be considered one of the best PC controllers remains to be seen, however, in terms of pure value, it's hard to argue with what it offers for just a fraction of the price compared to the likes of the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro.

PCGamesN Wednesday, February 19, 2025 12:40 PM  A new leak suggests that the launch date for the new Asus ROG XG Mobile external GPU (eGPU) is imminent. This portable gaming GPU will provide gamers with a plug-in upgrade to either an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 or RTX 5070 Ti for their gaming laptop or handheld gaming PC. However, while it will be a tempting performance upgrade for many gamers, its rumored price could put many off. While most eGPUs are glorified external docks for your existing graphics card to plug into, this particular Asus model is a much smaller, all-in-one solution. The new ROG XG uses the laptop equivalent GPUs of some of the best graphics cards from Nvidia, with an RTX 5090 model offered for maximum performance, while the RTX 5070 Ti model is a more affordable option.

PCGamesN Wednesday, February 19, 2025 12:29 PM  My colleagues giggle at the fact that I play League of Legends pretty much every night. 'Why do you torture yourself?' they ask, a question for which I have no answer. MOBAs - and multiplayer games as a whole - are somewhat synonymous with toxicity, and it feels like I can't get through a game of League without someone hurling slurs in the chat. Sirocco is hoping to change that, stripping back the grind and focusing entirely on building out characters (or, well, battleships) and having fun.

This gore-tastic FPS is set to arrive soon, and you might want to consider upgrading your gaming PC if your parts are starting to look a little dusty. Killing Floor 3 demands significant upgrades over its predecessor, but a nine-year gap between releases will do that. You won't need the very best graphics card to start blasting zombies, sorry, I mean Zeds, when the Killing Floor 3 release date comes around. However, this is one game where you'll want to target the recommended specs to experience the new M.E.A.T dismemberment system in all its glory.

McDonald's Japan is teasing a new collaboration with popular Vocaloid character Hatsune Miku. There is no information on when the collaboration will appear, and a formal announcement will appear at a later date.
The company shared a post on social media that includes a picture featuring the recognizable silhouette of Hatsune Miku, alongside a Japanese caption that translates to "This person will feature in year's version of the Shaka Shaka Potato! Y." The letter "Y" at the end of the post is used to mimic a leak.
You can check out the original post here:
The Shaka Shaka Potato are a McDonald's Japan exclusive menu item that consists of french fries and a packet of seasoning or flavoring. The contents of the pouch are poured on the fries and then shaken to evenly spread it. The name comes from the shaking sound of the fries inside the package.

Supergiant Games has released its second major update to the Early Access version of Hades 2, bringing with it new boons and artwork and bringing back Ares as a patron god from the first game. The new update also adds a final boss battle to the Olympus route as well as more story and voice lines.
In the first game, Ares' boons focused around applying the damage-over-time effect Doom, whereas in Hades 2 they appear to inflict more direct damage and apply the Wounds status instead. Other changes include reworks to weapons like the Staff, Skull and Coat, and cards equipped at the Altar of Ashes now have full artwork instead of placeholders.
The full patch notes are available via Steam here, but Supergiant has also put out a dramatic reading of the patch notes by recurring voice actor Logan Cunningham, who voices Hades, Homer and others in the game.
You can watch the trailer for the Warsong update below:
The last big content update for Hades 2 came out back in October, 2024, adding a new weapon and voice actor Ben Starr as the titan Prometheus. Good Smile Company has also shown off a painted prototype Nendoroid of protagonist Melinoe.
Hades 2 and the Warsong Update are immediately available for PC and Mac via Steam and the Epic Games Store.

Good Smile Company announced that pre-orders are now open for a Nendoroid based on the mascot for Jollibee. The figure is expected to ship sometime in July 2025.
Jollibee is the titular mascot of a Filipino fast-food chain. He's a cheerful bee wearing a chef's hat, with a design inspired by Mickey Mouse. The Nendoroid version of him can be posed in variety of positions and comes with a selection of foods from the restaurant. These include a plate of Jolly Spaghetti and the restaurant's famous Chickenjoy bucket. It only comes with one faceplate, featuring the character's trademark happy grin.
The Jollibee Nendoroid is available to pre-order and will cost ¥6,500. Pre-orders will be closing on April 2, 2025 and the figure will ship sometimes in July 2025.
Jollibee is a fast-food company based in the Phillipines, although it has branches across Asia and North America. It also has some limited European locations in Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom. It's best known for its Chickenjoy meal, which is a fried chicken meal that can be served spicy, along with a range of sides including rice, fries and corn. The Jolly Spaghetti is another popular meal, which is a Filipino-style spaghetti dish served with hot dog and ham in a beef sauce.

Konami shared lore for the Suikoden games ahead of the release of Suikoden I & II HD Remaster. The lore, shared on social media, details the history of the Scarlet Moon Empire. This was the setting for the first game in the series, although it does make an appearance in the second game.
Konami has currently shared two posts about Scarlet Moon Empire lore. The first of these is a description of various locations players will be able to revisit in Suikoden I & II HD Remaster. These include Lake Toran and the capital of Gregminster. The post then takes us on a tour of Lenankamp, Mt Seifu and The Floating Fortress of Shasarazade. Finally, it references the Great Forest to the south and the desert that forms the border with the City States of Jowston. However, erroneously, the image accompanying this is a picture of Dunan from Suikoden II, not Toran from the first game.
A second post takes us through the history of the Scarlet Moon Empire leading up to the events of the first Suikoden. It mainly focuses on Emperor Barbarossa Rugner's rise to power. It details the events of the War of Succession, which was triggered by Barbarossa being removed from the line of succession. The post is accompanied by art of Barbarossa raising a sword in victory.
These lore posts are the latest piece of information provided by Konami ahead of the release of the Suikoden I & II HD Remaster. Trailers for various characters are being released gradually. Currently, Flik and Odessa, Futch, Pilika and Neclord are some of the characters that have been showcased ahead of the collection's launch, with some of them appearing in multiple games.
Suikoden I & II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars is set to release on March 6, 2025 for PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC.

Capcom and Secretlab announced a Monster Hunter Wilds gaming chair based on Arkveld, the flagship monster for the entry. It is a Titan Evo model that is expected to ship out by May 15, 2025. Pre-orders are open, with prices starting at $624.
As this is a basic Titan Evo model, it includes everything expected from that kind of gaming chair. You can get it in regular or XL sizes, with the former supporting up to 395 lbs and costing $674 as a result. It has features like the pebble base seat, support for magnetic memory foam head pillows, a four-way lumbar system, and 4D armrests with magnets for swapping.
The Arkveld elements come from the design of the Monster Hunter Wilds chair. The back of it has the monster's icon, the game series logo, and the Secretlab logo. The front features designs based on both the character, its scales, and its "chains." The Neo Hybrid Leatherette fabric is also designed to match the monster's color scheme.
Here's how it looks:
This is one of the many kinds of Monster Hunter Wilds merchandise being released alongside the new game in the series. There's a Besties crossover that involves items and accessories for pets. A PS5 bundle is being sold in Japan. The characters are even being featured at the 2025 Sapporo Snow Festival.
This Monster Hunter Wilds Arkveld flagship monster chair also marks one of multiple Secretlab forays into the world of games. It also released ones based on series like FFXIV. There are even past Monster Hunter ones. There are lumbar pillows with designs based on characters, as well as chairs based on Fatalis and Rathalos.
Monster Hunter Wilds will come to the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC on February 28, 2025, the Benchmark Tool is available now for PCs via Steam.

There will be more ways to play the game Mouthwashing soon, as it will show up on the Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series X. There's no release window for the ports yet, but they are expected in 2025. The title first debuted on PCs in September 2024.
While all three platforms will get digital copies of the game, there are also physical copies planned. However, only those of us with a PS5 or Switch will be able to get one of them. Fangamer is in charge of those copies. Details about what they may contain aren't available, and we don't know if there will be any extras with them. However, the company did open a page where we can sign up for notifications about their eventual debut in 2025.
Mouthwashing, like a game such as Doki Doki Literature Club, is one of those titles that is best played without any spoilers. We follow a crew of a ship on a voyage that goes awry, and witness their reactions as they deal with an uncertain future. As they do, they end up dealing with various horrors and unsettling situations.
Mouthwashing is available for PCs now, with the PS5, Switch, and Xbox Series X versions of the game expected to launch later in 2025. There's no word yet on when Fangamer will open physical pre-orders for the PS5 and Switch copies.

Proof announced pre-orders are open for its new Atelier Ryza figure of Reisalin Stout in her pajamas after she just woke up. It is expected to ship out in Japan in July 2025, with the item appearing worldwide after that. It costs 22,000円 (~$145), but AmiAmi pre-orders cost 18,700円 (~$123). This Nightclothes version figure is based on her appearance in the anime adaptation.
This Atelier Ryza figure sits at 190mm (7 and a half inches) tall. Sits, because the 1/7 statue is actually posed in such a way that she looks like she is sitting on a wooden chair after waking up in the morning. She has her white pajamas with spaghetti straps on, with a yellow hoodie over that. Her right hand is positioned in a way that it looks like she's rubbing her right eye, while her left hand is gripping the chair as she leans forward.
Here's how that looks so far:
There's yet another Ryza figure also in the works. Good Smile Company announced another Nendoroid of the heroine during Nendoroid Funs 2025 Winter. That one will be based on her appearance in the second game.
The new Reisalin Stout Atelier Ryza Nightclothes figure will debut in Japan in July 2025. The anime this item is based on is streaming on Crunchyroll. Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness and the Secret Hideout is on the PS4, Switch, and PC,

Square Enix announced the first Moogle Treasure Trove event for FInal Fantasy XIV for 2025, and this time it marks the debut of the new FFXIV Paissa Earring and return of items like the Inferno Jacket and Shadow Gwiber mount. The event kicks off on February 26, 2025. It will end when the 7.2 patch arrives, which is expected in the second half of March 2025.
Since this is a regular event that appears multiple times throughout the year, taking part should feel familiar. You'll be earning Irregular Tomestones by going through certain types of activities and challenges listed in the Mogpendium directory, then trading them to itinerant Moogles for limited time items. Duties in the Duty Finder may have a Moogle head next to them, noting they are a Standard Objective that rewards Irregular Tomestones. Weekly Minimog challenges, like fishing, dole out those items too. The other type of weekly bonus comes from the Weekly Objective, which can change every Tuesday. Finally, there is one Ultimog Challenge that appears once during every Moogle Treasure Trove in FFXIV, and that will be revealed when this one starts on February 26, 2025.
As for the rewards this time, the three "top" ones in this iteration of the FFXIV event are the new Paissa Earring accessory, the Inferno Jacket body armor, and the Shadow Gwiber Trumpet used to summon that mount. There are over 50 items in total you can exchange for, however, and the Moogles who accept the Irregular Tomestones can be found at Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (X:9.4, Y:11.6), New Gridania (X:12.4, Y:12.1), and Ul'dah, Steps of Nald (X:9.6, Y:9.1).
Here are some of the 10 most notable rewards and the number of Irregular Tomestones each one costs:
As a reminder, the Inferno Jacket first debuted in the October 2021 Moogle Treasure Trove as a reward. Meanwhile, the Shadow Gwiber Trumpet is something you can get from The Dying Gasp.
Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the Moogle Treasure Trove will be back in FFXIV starting on February 26, 2025.

The North American development team for Marvel Rivals have been hit by layoffs. According to a post on his LinkedIn profile, Thaddeus Sasser, one of the game directors of Marvel Rivals, along with his entire team, were laid off from working on the game on February 18, 2025, a little over two months after the game's full launch.
Jack Burrows, one of the lead level designers on Marvel Rivals, was also laid off. In a post on his LinkedIn profile, Burrows states that "his American coworkers" join him "in this sad culling." According to Burrows, all of his coworkers who had been laid off were part of the American NetEase Games team and both Burrows and Sasser state that the entire American NetEase Games team working on Marvel Rivals have been removed. Both Burrows and Sasser have been posting about it on their individual LinkedIn profiles, shouting out their team members who are now looking for new employment opportunities.
The layoff announcements arrived just hours after Marvel Rivals revealed gameplay trailers for its newest heroes: The Thing and The Human Torch. NetEase also oversaw layoffs involving the closure of Ouka Studios, responsible for the development of Visions of Mana and took over operations of the Square Enix mobile game Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent, where they recently addressed player issues with the localization of the English version of the game.
It is currently unknown what impact this will have on the content in the game or its upcoming updates. As of now, NetEase has not stated the reason for the layoffs or whether or not plans regarding the future of the game have changed.
Marvel Rivals is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X and PC. Season 2 is estimated to begin in April, 2025.

Way back in November 2024, Square Enix shared it would release an #SQkawaii Sounds Final Fantasy soundtrack with new versions of existing songs from the series' soundtracks, and now there's a promotional video and Aerith and Tifa wallpaper to promote it. We can also already buy or listen to five songs from the album on various services.
First, here are the five songs you can listen to on services like Spotify or buy from storefronts like Amazon. All of them are remixes from classic songs taken from early games. They cost $1.29 each if you buy them separately, while the full digital album is $17.98. A physical copy of the CD is $29.99.
All of these songs can also be heard in the latest music video. Square Enix added direct links to each track in the description on YouTube. While the "Moogles' Theme" is more of a generic piece based on all the theme songs for the mascots, the others are more specific. They also show that all entries are represented, as the songs range from the original Final Fantasy to thetheme "Find the Flame" from the 2023 release FFXVI.
As for the official #SQkawaii Sounds Final Fantasy soundtrack, it's one starring Aerith and Tifa from FFVII. It's designed to be used on mobile devices. It essentially isolates part of the cover art from the game and removes text to show the two heroines in school uniforms in front of a grabbing machine. The one track from that game on the album is "The Chase."
Here's how that #SQkawaii Sounds Final Fantasy Aerith and Tifa wallpaper looks:
The #SQkawaii Sounds Final Fantasy soundtrack will launch on March 5, 2025 digitally, as well as ship out that month.

Once you touch down on the lands of Dawnshore, you'll never be alone with the help of your allies. Although there isn't necessarily a bad choice with your teammates, some will prove more beneficial than others. We're here to rank them all with this Avowed Companion tier list.
Best Avowed Companions, ranked
With this tier list, we'll look into each Avowed Companion's Commands and Abilities to determine their advantages for your journey. We'll begin with the best of the best with S Tier, then work our way down to the slightly lower ones with B Tier. Each section will also deep dive into the Companion's skills if you want to know more about them.
S Tier - Yatzli
Having a formidable mage like Yatzli by your side will often turn the tide of battle, making every challenge feel like a breeze. All her Abilities focus on offense, from her bursting Essence Explosion to the deadly Minoletta's Missile Battery. Enemies won't really stand a chance against her, especially when they get caught up in her Arduous Delay of Motion.
To top it off, Yatzli clears out a bunch of enemies with her Blast, covering a small area of impact for multiple hits. Like Kai and Giatta, she'll help clear out "Illusionary Objects" blockages using the handy Companion Command.
Yatzli Abilities
S Tier - Giatta
Giatta is the best support character in Avowed, providing a vast array of buffs to your entire team. Her Purification skill offers an additional 25 percent of your maximum health, which will pair nicely with her Reconstruction healing ability. Not only does she restore health, but she also coats a shield around you through her Barrier skill and boosts movement and attack speed with Acceleration.
It'll be hard to knock you down when Giatta's around, even against Avowed's colossal creatures. Furthermore, she'll help you with puzzles by opening locked doorways with her electrifying Spectral Jolt.
Giatta Abilities
A Tier - Kai
Kai is one of the most balanced Companions, thriving in defensive and offensive strategies. Many of his Abilities will halt enemies through its stunning properties, including Fire and Ice and Leap of Daring. You also don't have to worry too much about Kai while he's on the field since he can revive himself with Second Wind, giving him another chance on the battlefield.
In addition to his Second Wind, Kai's Unbending Defense regenerates health and reduces damage by 25 percent to further his survivability. And, as a bonus, he can burn off most debris, so you don't have to waste your Essence with a flame-based spell. It'll assist you with quests like the Totem of Rightful Rulership.
Kai Abilities
B Tier - Marius
Although Marius is at the bottom of the list, his unique strengths make him a valuable Companion, especially for exploration. I've relied on his Hunter's Sense Command, pinpointing enemies, loot, and plants nearby. His guiding waypoint ensures you don't miss out on any valuables, specifically with hidden chests.
As for Marius' Abilities, he's a beast in combat, inflicting bleeding accumulation through Wounding Shots and firing piercing shots with Heart Seeker. He's relatively swift on the battlefield, too, sneaking up on foes using his Shadow Step.
Marius Abilities
If you fully max out each of the Companion's Abilities in Avowed, you'll earn achievements, including Bullseye, Luckier Than They Know, Slay!, and A Little Power Goes a Long Way. It'll take a while to earn the points for them, but you can try to aim for the Avowed max level to get there much quicker.

If you want to get ahold of the best gear in Avowed, you'll need to venture out into the unknown to discover the Unique clothing. You'll encounter many of these remarkable items, providing even more buffs for your character. Here's how to find all Unique Clothing in Avowed.
Where to find all Unique Clothing in Avowed
In addition to Unique Weapons and Armor, the Envoy's clothes offer valuable benefits, improving movement, defense, and elemental resistance. Some will be easy to find, as they will be available in various Merchant shops.
Others will be much more well-hidden across the regions, pitting you against numerous enemies. It may even require defeating a boss from the main story or Bounty quests. If you're ready to take this on, let's break down all Unique Clothing locations in Avowed.
All Unique Boot locations in Avowed
All Unique Gloves locations in Avowed
Since the map is quite extensive, a few Unique pieces of clothing have yet to be discovered. I'll be sure to update this guide once the map has been fully explored.

The long-awaited Magic: The Gathering and FINAL FANTASY collaboration for MTG's Universes Beyond series has finally been revealed, and you can now claim as many packs as you want ahead of the set's release on June 13.
Yesterday, Wizards Of The Coast revealed how the iconic Final Fantasy summons would work on this collaboration. The company also revealed the cards of some of the most iconic characters in the history of the series. The most hype reveals so far, were those of Cloud and Tidus, who'll be part of the commander set.
These are the two main characters in the two most successful Final Fantasy titles so far, meaning Wizards would naturally be big selling points for this new set. Still, the company reminds players that the set features characters from every single one of the 16 mainline Final Fantasy series.
Among the reveals so far, my favorite has to be Jumbo Cactuar, a card whose special ability, "10,000 Needles," will annihilate anyone who doesn't find a way to stop it. What a beautiful way to celebrate one of the most ridiculous special moves ever seen in a game.
You can now preorder some items from the Magic: The Gathering — FINAL FANTASY set. Through Amazon, you can already preorder the Starter Kit, Play Boosters, Play Booster bundles, and commander decks, except the one featuring Cloud.
Bundles, Collector Boosters, and Commander Deck Bundles will likely become available to preorder anytime now. Prerelease packs are available for preorder at your local store.
The Magic: The Gathering — FINAL FANTASY will be released on June 13, except for the Gift Bundle, which comes out on June 27.

Horses are usually quite costly in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Although you can get a couple of horses for free during the main storyline, most are available from various vendors around the map. Fortunately, if you're a stealthy thief, you can turn an expensive purchase into a potential money-making method.
How to steal horses in KCD2
Stealing horses in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a quick and easy process if you stay hidden from other characters. As you approach a horse, you'll find a "mount and steal" option, letting you mount the horse and run away from potential onlookers.
However, doing this risks getting caught, especially in the middle of the day with many NPCs around. If you're not particularly stealthy, waiting until nighttime, when fewer people are around, will lower your odds of getting caught. Being in a smaller town makes your chances even better. Otherwise, if you're experienced in stealing items, lockpicking, and sneaking around private properties, you shouldn't have too much trouble taking a horse.
How to sell stolen horses in KCD2
Once you've successfully stolen and run away with a horse, bring it to the Nomad's Camp west of Zhelejov. Here, you'll find a character known as Horse Handler Mikolai, who'll purchase any horses you've stolen. You can access this by bringing a horse near Mikolai, speaking to him, and selecting "Horse Black Market."
If you tell him you want to sell the horse, he'll tell you how much he's offering. You can then accept, deny, or haggle for a higher price. You'll usually get a few hundred Groschen for the horse unless it has exceptional (or awful) stats.
How to keep stolen horses in KCD2
Alternatively, if you don't want to sell the horse and instead want to keep it as a trusty companion, you can choose the "Acquire" option under Mikolai's horse black market menu. He'll tell you he can help you arrange it, but you'll have to pay a hefty fee. Like before, you can accept his offer, deny it, or haggle for a reduced cost.

Crafting is one of the most important activities in Avowed, and for that, you'll need different materials.
As you explore the lands inside the game, you'll come across a variety of materials that can be put to different uses. Some of these items are used as upgrade materials, while there are few which are used for enchantment. All of these items are extremely important for mid and late game, so the onus is on your to find them in the first place.
All upgrade materials in Avowed and how to find them
A wide variety of upgrade materials can be obtained in different ways. You can always buy most of them from traders, but a few pesky ones will make you look harder in different locations.
Once you have an upgrade material, set up a Party Camp. You'll find the Workbench in your camp. First, select the item you want to upgrade. Next, select the required items for the upgrade, and complete the process to improve your armor/weapon/accessory.
All Enchantment materials in Avowed and how to obtain them
Most of the enchantment materials can be purchased directly from vendors in Avowed.
Enchantment materials can be used in the same fashion as upgrade materials. You'll need an Unique weapon, and the required materials for the enchantment to complete. Make sure to select according to your preferred class, which will help you to complete different quests quite easily.

FC Fantasy is going to be the next promo coming to EA FC 25 Ultimate Team, and it could include some amazing cards for players to obtain.
Fantasy is going to be a returning promo since we had the campaign back in FC 24. So far, EA Sports hasn't dropped any hints about which cards will be released during the campaigns. A few leaks have already started making the rounds ahead of the promo's official release in Ultimate Team.
All EA FC 25 FC Fantasy promo players (leaks)
If you believe the leaks, the upcoming promo will have special cards for both active footballers and Heroes. The latter represents former footballers who have hung up their playing boots following illustrious careers. Last year, we had the same pattern, so history might be about to repeat itself.
Of course, the leaks so far are limited in numbers, as more names are expected to appear as we get closer to the release date. Once again, the promo cards might be Dynamic: they will receive boosts and upgrades based on results from real-life football.
EA FC 25 FC Fantasy promo release date
The release date was given away when we received Season 5 of Ultimate Team. Based on the available information, the upcoming promo will be a two-week-long affair, and the first team will be released on Friday, February 21. This will be followed by the second team on February 28, which will add new cards to packs.
Once again, most of the promo items will be available in packs, but expect to find a few great items in the form of objectives and SBCs. Last year, we had some great SBCs like Timo Werner and Fridolina Rolfo. It will be interesting to see what EA Sports has planned for the community as part of the upcoming campaign for Ultimate Team.

To accommodate The Thing's arrival into the Marvel Rivals roster, the midseason update is set to bring a few big buffs to heroes like Captain America.

Doctor Strange
Groot
Magneto

All Duelist buffs and nerfs in Marvel Rivals 1.5

In the ever-changing event calendar of Final Fantasy XIV, there's always something new to look forward to. With Valentione's Day behind us, a new event on the horizon will begin the countdown to Patch 7.2.
The Moogle Treasure Trove is a recurring event in FFXIV that provides players a new way to get their hands on old, sought-after items. By completing objectives and challenges, players can stock up on Irregular Tomestones and then exchange them with the Itinerant Moogle in any of the three major city-states for a selection of goodies.
The next Moogle Treasure Trove event is The Hunt for Phantasmagoria, which will allow players to grab some very worthwhile rewards, including the following stand-out stars (all shown in the image above):
Of course, there are other rewards, including gear pieces (this time around, the focus is on Skallic pieces, which usually drop from The Drowned City of Skalla), minions, mounts, Triple Triad Cards, and Orchestrion Rolls.
What's most interesting about Moogle Treasure Trove events is their timing. These events are always instated to rectify the content lull before a new patch. With patch 7.2 on the horizon, along with everything that it will bring, the beginning of The Hunt for Phantasmagoria will begin the countdown to the new patch.
There is no fixed time for when this event will end, and the length of previous Moogle Treasure Trove events has always varied. However, it's expected that this event could last up to four weeks, which means that we could likely expect patch 7.2 to arrive at the end of March.

The Fran Kirby Grassroot Greats SBC brings a new challenge to complete in EA FC 25 Ultimate Team, and you can complete it to add a new card to your squad.
This is the first time that Kirby has received a promo item in Ultimate Team this year. To play with the card, you'll have to complete the SBC and all its tasks. Let's take a look at how you can unlock the card and add it to your Ultimate Team squad.
EA FC 25 Fran Kirby Grassroot Greats SBC tasks
The Fran Kirby Grassroot Greats SBC has two tasks, and here are their requirements.
Task 1 - England
Task 2 - Top Form
EA FC 25 Fran Kirby Grassroot The Greats SBC solutions
Here's a set of solutions you can use to complete the latest promo challenge in Ultimate Team.
Task 1 - England
Task 2 - Top Form
While the SBC is pretty well-valued, the card on offer is below the power curve. The only option is to add her to the Grassroot Growth Evolution and improve the card to a 90-rated item. That will also add Tiki Taka+ as a second playstyle, making it a pretty useful bargain item in Ultimate Team.
If you're looking for cheaper SBCs with better value, the Athenea Grassroot Greats SBC and Moise Bombito Grassroot Greats SBC are great shouts.

Even though Disney Dreamlight Valley launched in 2022, the community is still alive and well, thanks to its continuous updates. We've witnessed the introduction of numerous new characters and realms, and now, we're on the brink of another thrilling expansion. Let's talk about Disney Dreamlight Valley's next update.
Disney Dreamlight Valley's next update release date
The next DDV update, ''Tales of Agrabah," will be released on February 26, 2025. This patch brings the much-anticipated arrival of Jasmine and Aladdin, two iconic characters from Disney's Aladdin. We still have yet to find out the exact timing for the update, but it will likely launch around 6 a.m. PT, based on previous debuts.
As with every update, Tales of Agrabah brings a unique realm door to explore. This time, it opens to its titular desert city, Agrabah. However, the realm is in disarray, and it's up to us to work alongside Princess Jasmine and Aladdin to figure out what caused its destruction and how to resolve it.
You can recruit the two characters to the Valley after you've completed their designated challenges. More Friendship Quests will also unlock when reaching milestones in your relationship. Each level typically rewards you with character-themed items, including clothing and furniture.
In past updates, Disney Dreamlight Valley introduced its second paid DLC, Storybook Vale expansion, Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas. We've also received new gameplay features like Floating Islands, DreamSnaps, and Daisy's Boutique challenges to give us different activities beyond befriending villagers.
Gameloft has also confirmed through their Free Content Roadmap that two more updates will arrive in Spring and Summer 2025. The Storybook Vale's storyline also continues this summer, giving us a solid idea of what to expect over the next few months.
While we don't know the official release dates for Disney Dreamlight Valley's Spring and Summer content updates, we anticipate they'll launch sometime in April and July, respectively.
All previous Disney Dreamlight Valley updates
Over time, Disney Dreamlight Valley has introduced dozens of new characters, several realms, and paid expansion packs to turn a seemingly simplistic life simulation game into a complex series of quests. Every major DDV update adds at least one or two characters, some cooking and crafting recipes, and plenty of cosmetic items to make your village a little more interesting.
Here's a complete list of every major update that's released so far, including those planned for release:

There are many seasonal events held throughout the year in Final Fantasy XIV, and it can be hard to keep up with what's coming and going. To help sort your schedule, we've got a rolling list of the usual FFXIV events, timing estimates, and even speculation about what's to come.
Below, we'll outline the FFXIV 2025 calendar's confirmed and tentative event schedule — along with some events that may have wrapped up for the year. Additionally, you can check out the MMO's usual calendar too, along with a little explainer on each of the year's festivities.

Ongoing events in 2025
Upcoming events in 2025

While some years haven't always followed this pattern, FFXIV mostly sticks to the same schedule of seasonal staples while throwing a few new festivities in here and there. The table below outlines the usual schedule from year to year, but if you want a peek at timely announcements on newcomers, maybe pencil in time to watch the next FFXIV Live Letter stream.

If you've been holding out—and I have to be honest, missing out—on playing developer Wrong Organ's psychological-horror title Mouthwashing, well now you have no excuse. Publisher Critical Reflex announced today that Mouthwashing will be heading to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch later this year.
The unique horror game that uses nostalgic PSX-style visuals to tell the haunting tale of the doomed crew aboard a space freighter called the Tulpar was released on Steam in September 2024 and has sold over 500,000 copies on the platform. According to Critical Reflex, fans interested in a physical edition on the PS5 or Switch will have the opportunity to snag one through Fangamer.
Honestly, Mouthwashing is one of those games that that least you know going into it, the better. If you're a fan of psychological horror games that are a bit out there in terms of narrative and setting, you won't find a better example. However, if you want to have somewhat of an idea of what to expect, here is the premise:
In Mouthwashing you explore the story of a dying crew aboard a shipwrecked space freighter hauling mouthwash across the expanse of space. You'll switch between various crew members in first-person as you explore what caused the shipwreck as well as what has transpired since, all while trying to come up with a gameplan. The ship will only stay powered for a few months, and food will run out well before then. But at least there's mouthwash, right? For the most part it's a narrative-driven experience, and one well worth experiencing.
The crew of the Tulpar and Mouthwashing crashlands on PlayStation, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch later this year. Those interested in playing now can do so on PC via Steam.

Henry may be a knight in shining armor throughout most of your adventure with him, but sometimes it's better to be sneaky. Being quiet in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 means knowing how to stealth knockout and kill efficiently.
To stealth knockout a person in Kingdom Come 2, you must sneak behind them and press the appropriate button or key to begin the chokehold maneuver. What you press to stealth grab differs based on your platform:
How to get a stealth knockout in Kingdom Come 2
Pressing the correct button or key doesn't guarantee that a hapless guard or bandit is instantly put to sleep, though. Wait a moment after grabbing them and press the left mouse button (left trigger on an Xbox pad or L2 on a PlayStation controller) when the blue swords icon appears. Press the button in conjunction with the icon, which flashes when done correctly. Henry will choke out his target if it works, letting you grab the body or drop it to the ground.
But what happens when they fight back? Some may try and wrestle themselves free of Henry's grasp. When that happens, the Perfect Block (green shield) icon flashes across the screen. You only have a moment to stop them from breaking free. If they succeed, the stealth mission is a bust because now you have to fight an angry, yelling foe.
Press the attack button in time with the green shield icon to prevent them from breaking the grasp. For PC users, that's the right mouse button. It's the right trigger on Xbox and R2 on a PlayStation controller. The timing can be mercilessly short, so make sure you're prepared to hit the button every time you grasp an enemy.
How to stealth kill
You can only stealth kill someone in Kingdom Come 2 when you have a dagger equipped. Unlike many games, the dagger in Kingdom Come 2 is more of a tool than a traditional weapon. The default dagger has no attributes beyond weight, health, and price. You can't use it in combat; it's a device for killing quickly and quietly, nothing more.
To stealth kill an enemy in Kingdom Come 2, you must sneak behind a person as usual and hold the stealth grab button — don't tap it. Doing so sees Henry whip out the shiv and hold it to his victim's throat. Killing the target takes them out of the picture for good.
How to train stealth takedowns and get a dagger early in Kingdom Come 2
One of the best things to do early in your run of Kingdom Come 2 is to head southeast to the Lower Semine Mill for some stealth training. It may not seem like it at first, but the mill is home to a clandestine stealth operation run by the head miller. You can almost think of it as the game's version of Bethesda's popular Thieves Guild faction from The Elder Scrolls games.
Go to the mill and speak with Miller Kreyzl. Ask him for work, and he'll put you on task to lug around heavy sacks — the start of the Materia Prima activity. Complete the job to learn about Kreyzl's true nature, and he'll offer to teach you the trade. Agree, and speak with Hired Hand Hensel, who'll teach you the basics of stealth takedowns and pickpocketing.
Here is where you can train your stealth skills and learn the basics of medieval skullduggery. It's also a good place to get some early lockpicks and a free dagger. You can get a dagger in the barn Hensel brings you for stealth training. After successfully knocking him out a couple of times, he'll tell you to take it for when you need to kill your targets. Next to the dagger are a handful of lockpicks.
Typically, you can find daggers scattered around the world, such as in loot containers. You can also purchase them from certain shopkeepers. For example, Fence Whitebeard at the Nomad camp has one for sale.
Miller Kreyzl also has stealth-specific missions for you to complete. After you finish training, talk to him again and start a series of sneaky side quests.
Best skills for stealth knockouts
There are skills you should unlock if you want to maximize your effectiveness in stealth. Check out:
Best of luck in all your sneaking adventures. Remember: if you're caught, Miller Kreyzl will disavow all knowledge about you.

There are a host of different Sanrio characters to befriend in Hello Kitty Island Adventure, and all of them are excellent to have at your side for a few different reasons. Primarily, each character has one or two specific Companion Abilities to help you as you navigate the world around you.
Companion abilities unlock at different times for each character, and it's easy to forget who offers what. Here's everything you need to know about Companion Abilities in Island Adventure.
Table of contents
How to unlock Companions in Hello Kitty Island Adventure
Before you can make use of the characters and their Abilities, you'll need to be able to invite them on your adventures around Friendship Isle. There is no set point for when you can do this, as each character can become a companion once you reach a certain level of friendship with them:
*Kiki and Lala will always join you as joint companions, and completing the quest mentioned above will allow you to have two companions at any one time.
All Companion Abilities in Hello Kitty Island Adventure
When it comes to Abilities, most characters have two different Abilities that unlock at different times when you progress. Once you've unlocked both, they will automatically apply when the character joins you as your Companion. A character must be your Companion for their Ability to have any effect.
Here are all of the different characters in Island Adventure and their associated Abilities:
Hello Kitty
My Melody
Chococat
Tuxedosam

Discord Quests empowers users to earn exciting rewards effortlessly by watching videos and playing popular games. So, if you want to join in on the fun, here's where to find these Quests on PC and mobile.
Where to find Discord quests on PC
PC users can find Discord Quests within the Discover icon (compass symbol) to the left, where all your servers are. Select it, and you should see an option for 'Quests.' You'll be greeted with available missions from various games, including Overwatch 2 and Fortnite.
Some Quests are simple enough to complete, like watching short videos on the app. However, most take you out of Discord and must be completed in-game. It shouldn't take too long, though, as a few tasks only require you to play a game for 15 minutes. If your progress isn't counting, ensure your Discord is connected to the title to transfer the rewards upon completion. You'll likely need to go to the game's official website to connect it to the app, like how Marvel Rivals lets you link your Discord for free rewards.
Where to find Discord quests on mobile
The Discord mobile app sometimes has Quests out and open for you to discover, making it more accessible to begin these tasks. But since this only happens when a promotion is going on, you'll likely need to try the other method. You'll always find the Discord Quests when you double-tab on your profile icon on the bottom right corner of the screen.
It'll take you over to Settings, and you can scroll to Billing Settings to locate the Quests tab. The mobile version works relatively the same as the PC, displaying available Quests for you to accept. However, it's a bit more limited, considering that it doesn't show you Claimed and Expired Quests like the PC version does. Keeping track of these expiration dates will be crucial, especially since events can go by pretty fast.
Keep an eye on the promotions section, where new Discord Quests pop up frequently. These Quests can introduce you to brand-new games or titles that match your activity, taking you on numerous adventures. For more help with the app, check out our guides on downloading Discord on PS5 and the app's AutoMod feature.

Avowed allows players to freely shape their own playstyle and tale in a world where every choice matters. But does the game have romance options, or does it approach the subject in the same vein as other recent Obsidian titles?
To help you find your Envoy's soulmate and get that healthy dose of romance many consider to be a must in any RPG, here are all of the romance options in Avowed and how to romance them.
All Romance Options in Avowed, explained
Although the game seems to follow a similar approach as The Other Worlds, where you are free to deepen your bond with select party members but unable to cross the line during a playthrough, Avowed does allow you to romance a single character, Kai.
The romance, however, only blossoms after the end of the story. You also don't have to worry about your character's gender here, as you can romance your first companion no matter your choice.
How to romance Kai in Avowed
Fortunately for all who were afraid of having a single wrong choice kill off their Envoy's chance at love, you can romance Garru— I mean Kai in Avowed by completing Battle Scars (his companion quest) before talking to him at the camp and selecting the following options:
After doing the above, simply play the game as normal and complete it to unlock the romance during Kai's epilogue.
Even if we cannot say doing so will have any direct impact on its availability, courtesy of Avowed's lack of a true-to-form approval system, it won't hurt to stay on Kai's good side if looking to romance him during a playthrough. You can do that by often talking to him while at camp, performing actions that align with his moral code, and making choices that show care or interest during his companion quest.
Now that you know how to romance Kai, I also highly recommend checking out where to find all Unique Armor pieces in Avowed. While you are at it, take a look at our Class Tier List as well to get an optimal build as soon as possible.

Gameloft has officially confirmed that Disney Dreamlight Valley's latest update, Tales of Agrabah, is arriving soon. Although we caught a glimpse at this update in a previous content roadmap, we now know that Princess Jasmine and Aladdin are coming to Disney Dreamlight Valley on February 26, 2025.
We initially learned about Princess Jasmine and Aladdin's update through DDV's October 2024 Showcase, revealing a 2025 free content roadmap that included their arrival in "Early 2025." While this didn't specify a month, it suggested we'd see them sometime between January and March. Though Gameloft didn't reveal much more after, their latest video showcases everything, from a new realm to its release date.
As revealed through an official DDV character announcement, Tales of Agrabah will feature a new realm where you'll meet Jasmine and Aladdin. However, the realm is in disarray, so it'll be up to you to work with them to restore Agrabah to its former glory. Maybe Jafar's influence in Rift in Time is carrying over to this realm, too.
The Tales of Agrabah update also comes with Aladdin's flying carpet as a new companion and a Gem Stall once you advance through Aladdin's friendship questline. There's no word yet on whether we're getting new cooking recipes, but knowing previous updates, we'll likely see a few related to Agrabah's cuisine. As usual, we'll be able to invite both Jasmine and Aladdin to Dreamlight Valley as we finish their realm's quests, but the details of what this entails are still unknown.
Disney Dreamlight Valley's Tales of Agrabah update is arriving on February 26, 2025.

One word, five letters, six tries. Simple concepts often create the most addicting games, and Wordle is a prime example of this phenomenon.
Wordle was created by a single developer, a software engineer named Josh Wardle, in June 2021. The rules are easy to digest: players get six tries to guess a five-letter word. If a letter is in its correct spot, it turns green. If the letter is in the word but out of place, it turns yellow. And if the letter isn't in the answer, it turns black.
The game's simplistic rules paired well with its interface: a five-by-six grid of 30 individual squares laid against a black background. He made Wordle for his partner, who loved word games, as something for them to enjoy together. He soon showed it to family and friends, too, and it became a staple amongst their inner circle.
This is what prompted Josh to release the game publicly on the internet, and it exceeded all expectations. At first, less than 100 people played the game October 2021, but it became a viral sensation, garnering over 300,000 daily players over the next two months. This caught the attention of The New York Times, which acquired Wordle in early 2022, giving the game a wider audience than ever before. It is still going strong to this day.
While The New York Times offers the chance to play every Wordle puzzle since its origin through its paid archive, there is no official compilation of every Wordle answer ever. Hopefully, this one can suffice.

If you're up for doing your best Neymar or Mbappe impression, with a nice amount of anime flair, then this game is the right pick for you. Its four styles are all powerful, but you know what they say—there's levels to this stuff. Let's dive right in and lay out our ultimate Azure Latch styles tier list.
Table of contents
All Azure Latch Styles Ranked
Azure Latch styles are pretty well balanced against each other and there's no bad option. My rankings are simply based on which style is more flexibile and which style has more overpowered moves. Styles that meet one or more of these prerequisities are in the higher tiers and those less overpowered but still viable ones in the lower tiers. Check out our ranking reasons below as well as all Azure Latch Style moves listed.
Nagi Full Moveset in Azure Latch (S Tier)
If you're looking for a playstyle that balances sheer firepower with smooth control, Nagi is easily one of the best choices. He's sitting comfortably in S-Tier for a reason—his mix of powerful shots and deceptive footwork makes him a nightmare for defenders.
Whether you're blasting a shot from across the field or tricking opponents with quick movements, Nagi gives you all the tools you need to dominate the game. Here's a breakdown of what makes him so strong:
Overall, if you like a playstyle that lets you score from anywhere while keeping defenders guessing, Nagi is your guy. His combination of raw shooting power and tricky movement makes him one of the most dangerous styles in the game.
Sae Full Moveset in Azure Latch (S Tier)
Sae might not have the raw offensive firepower that Nagi brings to the table, but what he lacks in brute force, he more than makes up for with versatility, control, and defense.
In case you'd like a playstyle that lets you break ankles, shut down steals, and make game-changing passes, Sae is the perfect pick. He's the most well-rounded style in the game, giving you the ability to both dominate possession and set up incredible plays. Here's why Sae is a force to be reckoned with:
Sae is all about playing smart. If you like outmaneuvering opponents instead of just overpowering them, he's an absolute monster. You can break through defenses, counter attacks, set up plays, and still have a deadly shot in your arsenal. If you're looking for the ultimate all-rounder, Sae is your best bet.
Shidou Full Moveset in Azure Latch (A Tier)
Love playing aggressively and constantly pushing for goals? Then Shidou is the perfect style for you. He isn't about finesse or playmaking—he's about relentless offense and overwhelming your opponents with raw firepower.
However, he takes some practice to master. You need to be fearless, always looking for openings, and willing to throw yourself into every scoring opportunity. Once you get the hang of it, though, Shidou becomes an absolute menace on the field. Here's what makes him one of the most dangerous offensive styles in the game:
Shidou is pure offense—if you aren't constantly attacking, you aren't playing him right. He forces you to stay aggressive, always look for scoring opportunities, and overwhelm defenders before they can react. Given you can handle his high-risk, high-reward playstyle, you'll be an unstoppable force on the field.
Isagi Full Moveset in Azure Latch (B Tier)
Just because Isagi is in B-Tier doesn't mean he's weak—far from it. If you like a straightforward, no-nonsense playstyle with powerful long-range shots, Isagi is a solid pick. It's just that he takes some time getting used to, that's all.
He might not have Sae's insane dribbling or Shidou's hyper-aggressive offense, but what he does have is pure, reliable shot power. His Direct Shot and MY DIRECT SHOT are some of the best long-range moves in the game, and his Two Gun Volley is almost impossible to block when used correctly. Here's what you're working with when playing Isagi:
Isagi is all about fundamentals. He doesn't have fancy dribbles or overwhelming pressure, but he makes up for it with some of the best shot power in the game. If you prefer a balanced playstyle that focuses on solid positioning and precise shooting, Isagi is a great pick.
That's it for my Azure Latch styles tier list. Check out more of our Roblox guides.
