PCGamesN Thursday, March 27, 2025 8:24 AM  Greedfall 2 has so far struggled to live up to its predecessor. The open-world RPG follows in the footsteps of the first with a party-driven blend of tactical combat and character-led dialogue, a la Baldur's Gate 3 and Dragon Age, but its early access launch was met with a decidedly negative reception. Currently, just 55% of its reviews on Steam are positive - a far cry from the original. As it aims to recover that reputation, developer Spiders launches its first major update, which includes a new region and companion.

This colorful co-op beat 'em up is the latest venture by Stoic, the indie developer best known for 2014's The Banner Saga. However, Towerborne is shaping up to be quite a bit different from the turn-based strategy that came before it. Instead, Towerborne takes elements of action RPGs and platform games to create a side-scrolling adventure in an original fantasy world. It takes place in the City of Numbers, where monsters lurk outside of the safety of The Belfry. You take on the role of Ace, a hero born from the spirit realm imbued with the power to cleanse the land. If this sounds right up your alley, we're here to get you up to speed with the Towerborne release date, early access, and gameplay.

I hadn't heard of the game before, and my first reaction to the above screenshot was "oh hey, Total War: Rome". Then I veni, vidi, vickied on over to the Steam page, and it turns out that might be a flawed comparison, not least because Strategos is the creation of a single designer and programmer with artists working on contract.

Netflix's latest trailer for the Devil May Cry anime also functions as a lyric music video for the new Evanescence song "Afterlive." The track is going to be a part of the soundtrack for the show when it begins streaming on the service on April 3, 2025.
Unlike most lyric music videos, the lyrics from the new Evanescence song are incorporated into the scenes from the Devil May Cry anime. So once Amy Lee's vocals kick in, they will also appear in the background or foreground of the segments we see. So when the lyrics kick in at the 12 second mark, we see the words "hide" appear behind Dante, then "before the floodgates open" on guns of people heading out to hunt him down. This continues throughout the trailer, with the lyrics overlaid or hidden in the background of footage.
Here's the full official lyric video for the new Evanescence song "Afterlife" on YouTube.
As a reminder, while this adaptation is based on the game series, it isn't directly based on any particular entry. Instead, it's set between the first two mainline games. The studio behind it is Mir, which also worked on the anime series The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep and The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf for Netflix. Its other game adaptation is Dota: Dragon's Blood.
The Devil May Cry anime will begin streaming on Netflix on April 3, 2025. Devil May Cry 5 is available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC, and Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat is available on mobile devices.

Sega announced that it has given an official license to BBGame to release a mobile game themed after the Yakuza game series, which is nowadays formally known as Like a Dragon. The game's full title is City of Wars Powered by Like a Dragon, and BBGame just released it in Japan and East Asia on March 27, 2025.
BBGame also set up the Yakuza mobile game's official website, which includes a video message from Masayoshi Yokoyama, the head of the Like a Dragon series developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio. The site also includes a set of images that explain the mobile app's gameplay systems.
City of Wars Powered by Like a Dragon will have players build their own town and join a faction while cooperating with fellow members to capture towns owned by other opposing factions. The mobile game has a single unified global server, so players will engage in cross-regional interactions regardless of their set languages.
Players can also recruit characters from the Like A Dragon / Yakuza game series, including Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima, to join their fighting team. Their respective Japanese voice actors, such as Takaya Kuroda and Hidenari Ugaki, will also return to reprise their roles. The mobile game also has a Yakuza series staple feature where players can interact with cabaret club hostesses and give them gifts to receive support skills in return.
Here are official images of the Yakuza mobile game.
City of Wars Powered by Like A Dragon is now available for iOS and Android mobile devices in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau.

SNK revealed way ahead of April Fools' Day 2025 that it will formally add Cristiano Ronaldo as a playable character in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves at launch. This means players of the upcoming fighting game will be able to have the famous soccer/football player duke it out with the likes of Terry Bogard, Mai Shiranui, and Billy Kane.
Even though Cristiano Ronaldo is also known to be proficient in English, the athlete will not voice his own character in this fighting game. Juan Felipe Sierra will instead become the voice actor who provides the English voiceovers for the character, as shown in the new official trailer below:
City of the Wolves will have an option to toggle the voiceover languages between English and Japanese, and that means a Japanese dub for CR7 will also be available. SNK has simultaneously uploaded the Japanese version of the trailer, which features voiceovers by Masaaki Mizunaka:
As a side note, investment from Saudi Arabia to SNK may have played a major role in this addition. The Electronic Gaming Development Company under the Saudi MiSK Foundation notably acquired a majority of SNK's shares in the early 2020s. As of 2025, Cristiano Ronaldo is playing for the Al Nassr club in the Roshn Saudi Pro League.
Cristiano Ronaldo will not be the only guest character appearing in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. SNK revealed at Tokyo Game Show 2024 that it will also bring Ken and Chun-Li from Street Fighter 6 via the first Season Pass, which will gradually add new playable characters throughout 2025.
SNK will release Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC simultaneously worldwide on April 24, 2025.

Pull rates are slowly coming in for the latest Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion set, Journey Together, with trainers sharing their various luck in pulling some of the most sought-after cards of the lot.
While a booster box has the usual offerings, a handful of ex cards, and the odd full art or illustration rare, fans have been eager to try and open various products and packs to see how lucky they can get trying to find some of the rarer cards from Elite Trainer Boxes and other products outside of a booster box—to varying success.
While you can find a bunch of Reddit posts that showcase a nice array of cards, some of which are some of the most expensive in the set, it's hard to gauge exactly what the rates are per type of card, especially as The Pokémon Company doesn't disclose pack odds.
What are the odds of getting a rare card in Pokémon TCG Journey Together?
Looking online, the odds of getting an ex or rarer card appear to be pretty varied, but it appears as though there's a chance of getting a rare card every three to four packs at the worst possible odds. Some trainers though appear to be getting even better luck, pulling a rare card every two to three packs instead.
We opened 38 packs from four ETBs ourselves and managed to get a rare card for every one to two packs, ending up with 12 ex cards, two full arts, two Illustration Cards, a Hyper Rare, and a Special Illustration. If we were to break that down into odds, then you'd be looking at:
And this isn't even including the harder-to-find Trainer Pokémon cards, which we only got via a higher rarity and not a basic ex.
The only way to get guaranteed pull rates is to buy the more expensive booster box, which always has a set amount of cards in it. In previous sets, this has usually been around four to six ex cards, with two full arts and the odd Illustration Card and secret rare card in the mix as well, though there's no guarantee you'll make your money back no matter what option you choose to take.

The banners for the upcoming Genshin Impact 5.6 update have been leaked. The new version is expected to rerun 3 5-star characters and release two new characters, including a 5-star unit from Fontaine.
Find more details about the upcoming version 5.6 banners in this article.
Genshin Impact 5.6 characters and rerun banners leaked
New characters
Based on the information gathered from beta, you can look forward to 2 new playable characters:
Escoffier is one of the characters from the silhouettes revealed during the version 5.3 livestream. She is a chef from Fontaine but has yet to make an in-game appearance. It is speculated that Escoffier is a 5-star Cryo unit that uses a Polearm.
In addition, you can expect Ifa to finally make his debut in version 5.6 as a 4-star unit. He is an Anemo character and is likely to be a Catalyst user. Most players would already know his name from the Natlan Archon Quest, as Ifa is a renowned Saurian vet from Natlan's Flower-Feather Clan.
Rerun characters
According to info shared by HomDGCat, a fairly reliable source, the following characters are likely to get rerun banners in Genshin Impact 5.6:
Surprisingly, the Electro Archon might get another rerun in the upcoming update despite being featured on the version 5.0 banners. In addition, Kinich and Navia may get their first and second rerun banners, respectively. All 3 characters are some of the strongest in the game, so you can try your luck on their banners.
Unfortunately, HomDGCat has not shared the banner order, so you will have to wait until more info is available. That said, Escoffier is highly likely to be in the first phase since she is a new 5-star character.
At any rate, the banner info is subject to change since they are only based on leaks.

As you play Schedule 1 and get deeper into your business operations, you'll quickly learn that the game's police aren't too happy with your actions. If you want to grow your empire and get useful curfew bonuses, you'll need to learn how to avoid these guys.
Getting arrested in Schedule 1 is possible if the police catch you. You won't land in jail, but the fines can be pretty hefty, especially when starting. Thankfully, you can avoid these if you watch out for a few key signs.
Table of contents
How to avoid getting arrested in Schedule 1
Here are some tips to avoid catching the police's attention in Schedule 1:
The best way to avoid getting arrested while selling your products in Schedule 1 is to avoid dealing while police are nearby. Cops often patrol the street in pairs and can very easily spot you if they walk by at a bad time. You'll know one is close when a red question mark icon appears on your screen.
If it's late at night and the police aren't moving, you can sneak by pressing CTRL on your keyboard to make it easier to maneuver your character. The police might still notice you, but it's usually worth a try. This is primarily helpful during nighttime curfew when there are more cops around.
You can also be arrested during body checks if you carry several illegal items and can't conceal them. Early on, you can get away with only handling one until you unlock more substances. Even after this point, your dealers can take on certain drug types while you specialize in others. To make things easier, avoid the cops as you're running around to lower your odds of engaging in body checks.
What happens if you are arrested in Schedule 1?
What if it's late at night, and a police officer catches you wandering around after curfew? Fortunately, you won't get arrested right away. Instead, you'll find a red question mark that'll quickly fill up if you're in a cop's line of sight. If it fills, you'll officially be under arrest. Getting caught will teleport you to the police station, remove any illegal objects your character was holding, and give you a fine.
During a police chase in Schedule 1, you'll find an "Under Arrest" message at the top of your screen that'll deplete if the cops can't find you. If an alleyway or small spot is tucked away somewhere, crouch and hide to lower your odds of them finding you. The more hidden away and hard to reach it is, the better. If your spot is good enough, the Under Arrest message will disappear, letting you continue dealing with zero consequences.

Radiant Spincrystals in Genshin Impact are special items that unlock soundtracks in the Serenitea Pot. You can find up to 5 Spincrystals in the Atocpan region of Natlan.
This article covers the location of all 5 Radiant Spincrystals in Atocpan and provides a simple guide on how to obtain them.
All 5 Radiant Spincrystal locations in Atocpan
Radiant Spincrystal 148, 149, and 150
Teleport to the waypoint southeast of the Statue of The Seven in Atocpan and head south to find the Radiant Spincrystals 148, 149, and 150 on wooden boxes near an NPC named Kulemana. Picking up the Spincrystals will trigger a cutscene, and Kulemana will ask you to take a challenge.
During the challenge, you must retrieve 15 Buoys within the time limit. While the challenge will let you use Tatankasaur, you can also use a Bow character with large AoE, like Yelan and Ganyu. Once you've completed the challenge, you can collect all 3 Radiant Spincrystals from Kulemana. In addition, you will get an Exquisite Chest reward, worth 5 Primogems.
Radiant Spincrystal 151
To get the Radiant Spincrystal 151, you must first unlock Skyfire Circlet by completing The Way Into the Mountain and Nahuatzin's Leap quests.
Once you've finished the quests, open the Skyfire Circlet map and use the northern teleport waypoint. Next, turn around to find a Qucusaur nest with a few Qucusaur babies. You can ignore the baby Saurians and collect the Radiant Spincrystal.
Radiant Spincrystal 152
For Radiant Spincrystal 152, you must unlock the Ancient Sacred Mountain map by completing The Frozen, Rekindling Land quest. Once that is done, teleport to the waypoint in the middle of the Ancient Sacred Mountain and go straight to find the Spincrystal on top of a rock.
How to use the Radiant Spincrystals
After collecting all the Radiant Spincrystals, you can enter your Serenitea Pot and interact with the Euphonium Unbound furnishing to unlock the new soundtracks. Naturally, all 5 Atocpan Radiant Spincrystals unlock Natlan soundtracks. You can even select one of them as your Realm Music and listen to it whenever you enter the Serenitea Pot.

Ghasts are one of the most terrifying and dangerous mobs you can face in Minecraft, but soon, they'll have a much nicer counterpart called Happy Ghasts. This mob is not only friendly but also quite helpful, so you may want to know when you can start finding them.
It's always fun to meet new mobs and see what they're capable of. Happy Ghasts are by far one of the coolest creatures you can befriend, so if you're eager to meet one, here's when the Happy Ghast is coming to Minecraft.
Table of contents
When will Happy Ghasts be added to Minecraft?
The Happy Ghast will be released in Minecraft sometime in summer 2025. This was teased during the Minecraft Live March 2025 event when the team said players could expect to have a "ghastly summer" with the release of their second game drop for the year.
Past Minecraft updates that have launched in the summer mostly fall during the last week of June or the first week of July, so it seems fairly likely this one will, too. It could easily launch at any point in the summer, though, so it could arrive earlier or later than expected.
Although Happy Ghasts won't be officially implemented into Minecraft before summer 2025, you'll be able to meet them sooner through snapshot versions of the game. All planned features appear in at least a few snapshots prior to their release to minimize bugs and issues with them.
Snapshot versions of Minecraft with Happy Ghasts could be released at any point. There's no official news as to when this might be, but fresh snapshots are usually released at least once a month, and big features are usually tested several months in advance. The first snapshot featuring Happy Ghasts could be released any day now since summer 2025 isn't too far off.
How to find a Happy Ghast in Minecraft
To find a Happy Ghast, you must acquire and nurture a Ghastling. Happy Ghasts don't spawn naturally, so the only way to befriend one is to find the baby version of it and take care of it until it grows into a full-on Ghast.
Ghastlings spawn from Dried Ghasts, a block you can find in the Nether by bone blocks in soul sand valleys or one you can craft using Ghast tears and bone blocks. Once you have a Dried Ghast, you can place it in water to make a Ghastling, then wait for it to become a fully functional Happy Ghast on its own or use snowballs to speed up the aging process.
What do Happy Ghasts do in Minecraft?
When left alone, Happy Ghasts float around aimlessly and are passive toward all players and mobs. If you want them to follow you around, you can hold a snowball to grab their attention.
The best part about Happy Ghasts is that they can have a harness equipped on them, so you can hop on and soar through the sky on your new friend. Up to four players can ride on a single Happy Ghast, so this is one of the best ways to get around or work on crafting tall structures.
While you wait for the Happy Ghast to arrive, there's lots to explore in the Spring to Life update. If you like discovering new mobs, check out all Cow variants and all Pig variants. You also might be interested in learning when Vibrant Visuals will become available.

While Schedule 1's early access is relatively free of bugs, the botanist has been known to cause some issues for players.
While the employee will work as usual when assigned to a job, some players have reported that they can sometimes get stuck. When the bug is triggered, you'll notice your botanist being stuck in regrowing the plant continuously. Thankfully, there's an easy workaround that the community itself has devised.
Schedule 1 Botanist bug fixes
I came across the solution on the game's Steam discussion forum after witnessing the bug. It's very easy to detect the bug as your botanist will cut the flowers and then continue to grow another in an endless cycle. Ideally, your botanist should take the flowers and put them on the packing table.
To solve the issue, you'll need to have a secondary employee. Task them to pack the flowers from the shelves and take them to the packing table. This will prevent your botanist from being stuck in a loop. It will also ensure efficiency on your shift, and allow your productivity to stay intact.
There's another known issue with botanists, where they either just stand without doing anything else. There's a chance that the botanist has already been assigned to a property, you'll need to fire them if there's been a change with the property. I haven't found a possible way to reassign them to another property, but expectations are that this will change as part of a future update.
Finally, reloading your save will fix the issue of any worker (not just the botanist) not interacting/working properly. Do note that you might lose a bit of in-game progression by reloading a save, but it's the best temporary fix to use in Schedule 1. With regular updates being pushed out, the bugs should cease to be a problem for long.

Is "Intensity" Really the Key? in Genshin Impact is a World Quest located in Atocpan. During the quest, you meet an NPC trying to become the "strongest" in all of Natlan by sitting in the hot spring.
It is a pretty simple quest, and completing it will give you Primogem rewards. Here's a simple guide on how to start and complete the Is "Intensity" Really the Key? quest.
Is "Intensity" Really the Key? quest guide
Quest location
Use the teleport waypoint in Fallingstar Fields and head southwest toward the hot spring to find an NPC named Ma'chah. Interact with him to get the hidden objective for the quest, but you won't get a prompt for it.
Follow the little Saurian and interact with the nearby Tatankasaur Spiritscone before using its normal attack to seal the geothermal vent. Doing so will trigger a cutscene and officially start the Is "Intensity" Really the Key? quest in Genshin Impact. This quest is also a part of the In the Footsteps of the Chosen of Dragons quest chain.
Seal the geothermal vent (1)
Follow your Saurian companion and seal the second geothermal vent. You can also use your active character's Plunging Attack to seal a vent.
Seal the geothermal vent (2)
Go to the third geothermal vent's location. This time, you must first destroy the nearby crates to unlock the Phlogiston spout before stomping on the vent to seal it.
Talk to Linaha
After sealing all the geothermal vents, return to Linaha and talk to him. This will trigger a cutscene of Ma'chah passing out in the hot spring and conclude the Is "Intensity" Really the Key? quest in Genshin Impact.
Quest rewards
As a reward for completing the quest, you will get 30 Primogems and some Mora.

What if I told you that you could wield a power so devastating that its cooldown would have to be measured IN HOURS? You'd probably be interested, and rightfully so. That's exactly what the new Rune Slayer update provided us with, so to get you ready and save you time, I prepped a guide on how to get all curses and blessings in Rune Slayer. Hint: It ain't as grindy as it sounds at first.
Table of contents
What Are Curses and Blessings in Rune Slayer
To put it simply, curses and blessings are summons that can be used by the Demon Sect and Holy Sect, respectively. Consider them as the ultimate powers members of these factions can use, exclusive only to their sect-mates (no, I'm not gonna say 'fellow acolytes'). This system is still very new and there are already rumors of buffs coming to existing curses and blessings. Likewise, there are differences between curses and blessings, but they share some common features, such as:
So, with that in mind, let's take a look at all the curses and blessings in Rune Slayer, what they do and how to get them without too much effort.
All Curses and Blessings in Rune Slayer
At the time of writing, there are only two available curses and blessings, more specifically–one of each. So, let's take a look at each, along with some more info on how to snatch them.
How to Get Curse of the Dune Dragon (Demon Faction Exclusive)
If you're part of the Demon Sect and looking for a high-risk, high-reward ability, Curse of the Dune Dragon might be exactly what you need. This devastating spell lets you channel your own life force and Focus to unleash a monstrous attack on a single target — the kind of move that can turn the tide of a battle... if timed right. It summons a big dragon that freezes enemies in place and deals massive AoE damage.
To use it, you'll need to have a Fire Fairy as your active pet, and your Magic stat must be at 7 or higher. Be warned: this isn't a casual ability you can spam. Each cast drains 100 Focus and around 50% of your HP, and it comes with a hefty cooldown of 60 minutes. You'll want to save it for a key moment when it'll really count. For instance, it's great as an AoE blast when you get surrounded in Balgaron's Chasm.
The ability can only be unlocked by acquiring the Curse: Eclipse Scroll, a rare drop from the Goblin King boss in the Withered Thicket. It's not a guaranteed drop, so you might have to take him down a few times before luck's on your side.
How to Get Blessing of the Cho (Holy Faction Exclusive)
For Holy Sect players who prefer summoning reinforcements rather than sacrificing themselves in battle, Blessing of the Cho offers a powerful way to gain the upper hand. When used, this ability calls forth a mystical creature to fight by your side — perfect for handling overwhelming odds or dishing out extra damage during boss fights. It works pretty much the same as the curse, except you summon a, ugh, toad-snaile with trees growing out of it, I guess.
To wield the power, you'll need to be aligned with the Holy Sect and have an Earth Fairy as your companion. Activating the ability consumes both Mana and HP, so make sure you're prepared before summoning your spectral ally. It has a 1 hour cooldown, just like Curse of the Dune Dragon.
You can obtain this summoning spell by finding the Cho Blessing Scroll, most commonly dropped by the Dreadful Licht King in the Withered Thicket. While there are a few rumors that the Goblin King might drop it as well, the Licht King remains your best bet. The two bosses share parts of their respective loot pools (mainly Fighter's Ring and Merchant's Ring), so it's possible that they can both drop the Scroll, with the Goblin King having a slightly lower drop chance.
Will There Be More Curses and Blessings in Rune Slayer?
Definitely, since both are recent additions. Still, one can't help but notice that Curse of the Dune Dragon and Blessing of the Cho are awfully similar. Not only do they both drain HP and a secondary stat, but they also both summon a being that immobilizes the opponent and deals massive AoE. As the rotten cherry on top, both abilities aren't really powerful enough to justify a 60-minute cooldown, even before the nerf. So I wouldn't really advise you to break your back grinding for them. Let's just hope that new curses and blessings in Rune Slayer will be more balanced.
That should be the end of this crash course on how to get all curses and blessings in Rune Slayer. They're not the best thing in the world right now, so it's up to the devs to think of new ones that are hopefully less grindy and have a cooldown that isn't measured in hours. In the meantime, check out the new races in Rune Slayer and how you can combine curses and blessing with them.

Once you've completed the challenge, you will get an Exquisite Chest, worth 5 Primogems in Genshin Impact.
Come back and check later

Complete Illimani's challenge
Return to the quest location and talk to Illimani to start his challenge. This time, you must collect all the red particles without breaking any of the jars within the time limit. It is also a simple challenge, and you can easily complete it by running around the area. Once that is done, you will get another Exquisite Chest reward, worth 5 Primogems.
Talk to the two people up ahead
Talk to Illimani and Suriqui to conclude the hidden quest in Genshin Impact. This will also unlock a new achievement called Heavyweight Contender, worth 5 Primogems.

InZOI could be the next big entrant in the world of life sim video game titles, but there's not much luck for those who game on their consoles.
The hyped release is scheduled for a global release on March 28, and it will be available via Steam. Naturally, many gamers have been wondering about KRAFTON releasing the game on consoles (at least on the current-gen machines). Unfortunately, console users will have to be patient as InZOI will not launch on either Xbox or PlayStation consoles.
Why is InZOI unavailable at launch on consoles?
InZOI is not the first title that will be released exclusively on PC, and it largely has to do with its early access nature. Early access games are typically released on Steam as developers continue to work in tandem with the players. In fact, a lot of AAA titles, like Baldur's Gate 3, weren't released on consoles till it was under early access. The console release for Larian's smash hit happened only after we got a full launch on PC.
InZOI is almost certain to follow the same path, and it's console debut is not happening anytime soon.
Will InZOI release on consoles?
If the developers are to be believed, InZOI is eventually going to make its way to PlayStation and Xbox. The screenshot posted here is from the game's official Discord, and there are plans to get a console release eventually in the future.
An exact date hasn't been announced, and the game's early access is expected to last for at least a year if not more. If we do end up getting a console release, I predict it to happen at the end of the first quarter in 2026. It's worth noting that a lot of early access states often extend, so mid-2026 is a more realistic release date.
For the time being, there's not much option for console users if they want to play InZOI. It's the same thing with Schedule 1, which is turning out to be a surprise hit with PC gamers. If you're planning to play InZOI on PC, make sure to check out the release schedule to jump right in once the game goes live.

Schedule 1 has taken the gaming community by surprise, as the solo developer-backed game has been a surprise hit so far.
If you're enjoying the in-game content and expanding your drug empire, there's more stuff waiting for you. The official Trello consists of a host of plans posted by the developer, and here are some of the highlights of what could appear next.
It's worth keeping in mind that some of the planned features might take a longer time to arrive.
Schedule 1 roadmap explained
Schedule 1 already has a fair amount of content for players to explore, which includes different regions, drugs, and more. Tyler has already mentioned that much more content is planned during early access, and here are the highlights.
It's unclear as to when we will get all these updated features in Schedule 1. We have already received two post-launch updates, but they have focused on fixing the apparent bugs and glitches. It will be interesting out more about the upcoming content, and I am really excited to have cartels and more interaction options.
Till then, it's best to keep expanding your empire and increase your player level to prepare for the upcoming updates.

Pokémon TCG Pocket's ranked mode has finally arrived and with it, trainers have the chance to fight for the top of the leaderboard every month to claim some nice rewards to show off their skills.
With the ranked mode being new, there's a lot you need to understand about how it works, how long a season lasts, and what you need to do to get to the top. With that in mind, here is all the key information you need to know when taking on the game's ranked grind to try to be the best—like no one ever was.
Ranked in Pokémon TCG Pocket, explained
In Ranked Matches, there is a rank system that goes from Beginner Rank to Master Ball rank. You can go up ranks based on the points you get upon winning matches in Pokémon TCG Pocket.
Climbing the initial ranks might be a bit of a grind, but your main target every season is going to be trying to get to Master Ball Rank. Master Ball Rank is the top tier of competition where only the best players exist. When you reach this rank, you'll have your individual ranking displayed to see where you are in the world.
The ranked match season changes about once a month to tie in with new expansion pass releases. After a season ends, players can get emblems based on their final rank to show off how well they did. Monthly rankings also means each trainer has plenty of chances to reach the top, and won't be left behind by those constantly grinding to the top spot.
All Ranks in Pokémon TCG Pocket
There are five ranks in total you will need to climb when playing the game, with each rank based on a particular Poké Ball. The more points you get, the better your rank will be, so try to get on a hot streak. The ranks from worst to best include the following:
The amount of points you need to get from one rank to the next is currently unknown, so we will update the article when the ranked season officially goes live and those details are revealed.
Outside of emblems to put on your profile, there aren't really that many rewards for taking part in the ranked mode. This might put people off the grind unless they are keen to prove they are a top trainer. Either way, trainers have been crying out for a ranked mode in-game since the launch of the game in late 2024, so its nice we finally got it.

Seaside Cendrelis is a new, valuable herb in Wuthering Waves required to ascend Canteralla through the ranks of her levels. Finding them can be somewhat tricky, but if you're looking to get your Canteralla up to speed, here's where you can.
How to get Seaside Cendrelis in Wuthering Waves (Map)
If you've been focused on playing your new Cantarella and haven't started the Wuthering Waves 2.2 main story quest just yet, now is the time to get rolling. Seaside Cendrelis can only be found in the new Avinoleum region, and this location is only reachable by progressing through the main story. You may even need to complete it entirely to gain free access to the entire region, due to the mobility restraints placed on you during the story. If you've already completed this step, here are all the locations where you can find Seaside Cendrelis in bulk.
The first location can be found southeast of the Holy Spire of Confluence, which is the main spire located in the Avinoleum region. They are growing along the sides of the inner wall in significant clusters, so they'll be super easy for you spot.
The next location is southeast of the Hall of Swordsmanship: Ruins map title. This location is similar to the first in that the Seaside Cendrelis here are all in clusters and easy to spot once you arrive. However, be aware that they may be hard for you to pick if you have not reversed gravity in the region. They are up high on the bridge shown on the map, so you'll need to fly up there if you have not changed gravity. You'll find them clustered on the bridge's broken underside.
The third location for Seaside Cendrelis is back to being simple, located southwest of the Holy Spire of Confluence on a lone floating island. Like the first location, they are all grouped up in the inner portion of the island, so should not have trouble spotting them in groups here.
The final location for Seaside Cendrelis can be found northeast of the Holy Spire of Confluence, on a lonesome island similar to the previous. There are fewer Seaside Cendrelis here when compared to the other locations, but there's still more than enough to be worth the visit.
If you pick all the Seaside Cendrelis from these locations, there should be more than enough for you to fully ascend Cantarella from levels 1-90 quite easily. There might be other Seaside Cendrelis locations out in the new region, but not in clusters this widely available, so take your time, pick your herbs, and empower your Cantarella.

Puffed Grainfruit Bars
Teleport to the Collective of Plenty Reputation waypoint and head northwest toward the restaurant to find Camotli. Talk to her and select the "Healthy meal?" option to get the Puffed Grainfruit Bars recipe. There's a chance that you might not find Camotli if you're doing Act 3 of the Tribal Chronicle, so it is best to meet her before or after doing the quest.

Once you've put all the items, interact with the nearby Tatankasaur Spiritscone and push the large button on the side. This will activate the machine and create juice. Finally, interact with the pillar of light to get the Fruits Aplenty recipe.
Mamga Eggs
Teleport to the southwesternmost waypoint in Atocpan, and head straight to find an NPC named Runtuma next to a Precious Chest. Talking to him will start a challenge. To complete it, you must indwell a Tatankasaur and destroy 18 vents within the time limit.
Once that is done, talk to Runtuma one more time to get the recipe for Magma Eggs and a Precious Chest, worth 10 Primogems in Genshin Impact.
Harvest's Boon and Cheesy Crab Hotpot
You can obtain the recipes for Harvest's Boon and Cheesy Crab Hotpot from Natlan's Reputation system. The former can be obtained by reaching Reputation Level 2 in Collective of Plenty, while the latter is obtainable only after reaching max Reputation in all 6 tribes of Natlan.

The expansion of your drug empire in Schedule 1 largely depends on how many items you're selling on a daily basis, and having a dealer to assist you will be immensely beneficial.
While unlocking a dealer comes with the base set of quests, the game doesn't tell that at first. This guide will help you to streamline the process of unlocking your first dealer, who is a guy named Benji.
How to get your first Dealer in Schedule
Unlocking the first dealer, aka Benji, requires around 2-2.5 hours of gameplay, by my count, if not more. You'll have to establish a base in Northtown by shipping products regularly to your customers. This will help you to progress along the missions that Uncle Nelson assigns.
One of those quests involves unlocking ten customers. This mission requires you to find new customers while selling drugs to the existing ones. To find potential customers, open the Northtown map. You'll find a band of individuals that you can attract as new customers by visiting them with the offer of free samples.
Once you have unlocked ten new customers, you'll get a call from Uncle Nelson, who will tell you about Benji. Benji is the only dealer available in Northtown, and you'll need to impress Chloe Bowers (there's another guy, but I never bothered) by meeting her orders. Once you have a friendly status with her, Chloe will talk about Benji.
Benji is located in the room next to your own in the Motel, beside the Skate Park. Knock on the door, and you'll get the option to interact with him. To hire Benji, you'll have to give a bonus of $500, and he will take a cut of 20% from every transaction.
This is how you unlock your first dealer in Schedule 1, and you'll get the chance to hire more as you level up and get access to more areas on the map.

One of the more complex aspects of Schedule 1 is the player leveling system, which is the most important task (despite the minimal explanation from the game itself).
Leveling up controls how frustrating or enjoyable your in-game experience will be. As you increase your player level in the game, the amount of options available in your hands will automatically improve. Leveling up might be easy, but doing so efficiently is going to enhance the growth rate of your drug empire drastically.
How to level up fast in Schedule 1
In my brief experience with the game, leveling up entirely depends on how many products you sell in a day. If you manage to sell more drugs, you will gain a bigger amount of XP. However, you can't instantly produce as many products as you want, and this guide will help you to mix-max the procedure.
A day in Schedule 1 has four parts when you can conduct your business. Unless you want to get seized by the police and lose all your products, you'll want to avoid trying to do transactions after sundown. Typically, I use this time to tend to my plans, package the goods, and get ready for the next day.
Once it's morning, you can set out to conduct your business. Make sure to produce at least 20 products to meet all the demand (in the first two hours, it's hard to produce more as you'll frequently run out of inventory space). If you have unlocked a dealer, make sure to provide him with the required items.
Make sure to sell at least 10 items before the day ends, which will net you a good amount of XP. While using a dealer will make your life easier, you gain more XP by manually selling the products. If you care that much, it's better to sell all the products by yourself. However, you'll be producing a lot of products, and it becomes problematic to move all the items on your own.
If you unlock a dealer, make sure to keep him well-stocked. This will help you to make extra money, and get more XP in the process. You can assign up to eight customers to every dealer, helping you to move your products faster. Lastly, concentrate on Uncle Nelson's calls.
As you level up, you'll unlock a lot of advanced tools that allow you to make customized products, and automate the production process. With higher production, you'll be able to sell more items and get increased XP from the activities.
