PCGamesN Tuesday, May 13, 2025 7:07 PM  It's update day in League of Legends, and while patch 25.10 is now live and the patch notes are out in the wild, it's actually news about 25.11 that's caught my attention. With 25.11 heading to the PBE, Riot has revealed that for the first time in a long while, there will be no new skins on the test server to uncover, and thus no new skins when the update drops later this month. The reason? Riot's put most of its energy into reworking its underwhelming and controversial Masque of the Black Rose skin series.

D3 Publisher announced its next PC game will be the otome visual novel Despera Drops. It will arrive on Steam on May 27, 2025. We'll be able to play it in both English and Japanese, and this marks its first appearance on computers. Previously, the title only appeared on the Switch worldwide.
Despera Drops first showed up on the Switch in Japan, where the otome visual novel debuted in 2023, before coming to the console worldwide and PC now in 2025. D3 handled the Japanese Switch release. Aksys took care of the English Nintendo launch, but it is not involved in this version. While Red Entertainment worked on the console release, Wizardsoft Corporation is credited as the developer here.
The story features a college student named Mika Amamine with the ability to discern information and intention about individuals she touches. While she covers her hands at all times, now, accidents sometimes happen. After meeting with a certain individual she once inadvertently touched, learning about his lost memories in the process, he's murdered. She realizes a "staff" member was responsible. A conspiracy leads to her being arrested and carted away alongside other criminals. However, an attempt to escape alongside them also means a chance to find out what's going on, clear her name, expose a seedy organization, and find love with one of her new "allies."
The PC version will be on par with the Switch release. This means the main game and its seven After Stories segments with characters are available. You can also use a keyboard with mouse or controller to play. Steam Cloud saves are supported in the otome visual novel, and you can earn achievements and trading cards as you play the PC game.
Despera Drops will come to the PC via Steam on May 27, 2025, and it is on the Switch worldwide.

Do you enjoy reading up on video game lore and storylines? There's a ton of historical information throughout The Precinct that you'll mostly find by reading plaques scattered around Averno City. Reading all 20 will even give you the Historian trophy as an additional incentive to locate them all.
Table of contents
How to complete the Historian achievement in The Precinct
The Precinct has 20 plaque locations to find around Averno City. The northern half of the map has 10 plaques, while the southern part has the remaining ten. Here's a complete list and map of every plaque location:
ACPO Precinct
Our first plaque is right next to the Averno City Police station. As you walk out its doors, go to the back of the building until you see a loading dock, a back entrance, and a plaque against its back walls.
Averno Industrial Steel Mill
Our next stop is the Averno Industrial Steel Mill in Brookhaven. Within this zone, you'll find a large factory building, with the plaque located next to the Brookhaven subway tunnel entrance.
Eastern Averno City Bridge
Make sure not to leave Brookhaven yet. There's another plaque near the Lacoina Bridge's entryway, right on the corner of a brown brick building. You'll know you're close when you're next to the bridge and see a 55-mile speed limit sign and the plaque beside it.
Averno Guardians
We're heading to the heart of Averno for this next plaque. Head on over to Central Plaza to find another plaque right inside an alcove in the central statue.
Founders' Bank
Did you know there's an Averno City Bank in Mercer Heights? After reading the Averno Guardians plaque in the Central Plaza, travel south into Mercer Heights and watch out for this city bank building to find your next lore story beside its entrance.
St. Harry's Hospital
Another location you may not often visit is the northern sections of Baltimore Terrace, particularly St. Harry's Hospital. Visiting this spot in the northern half of this zone will let you read another plaque to the left of its entrance.
Averno City's First R.A.A.T Station
One of the most helpful systems in The Precinct is its fast travel system using R.A.A.T subway trains. Right next to the station in South Shore is your next plaque, ready for you to read.
Helipad
Have you ever walked along the docks near Haddonfield Point? Directly northeast is a helipad and various storage containers, with the former having another plaque to read.
Coastal Seating Area
This one is especially tricky to spot if you don't actively complete Time Trials or stick to Averno City's mainland. Within Pilgrims' Lookout and Slipwater Yard is a Coastal Seating Area plaque on what used to be a lighthouse but is now a dismantled and smaller structure just off the highway.
Chinatown
We're taking a trip over to Chinatown now for our final plaque in Averno's southern half. Right in the center of Chinatown, you'll spot Chow's Gems and Watches next to a staircase leading to the zone's upper levels. The plaque is along one of the stone brick walls connected to these stairs.
The Colosseum
Our first stop in the northern half of Averno City is the Colosseum on the east side of town. Along its eastern wall is a plaque commemorating the city's ice hockey team victories over the years.
Hotel Rouge
It's time to learn more about Sunnyside and its shops. More specifically, we're looking out for Hotel Rouge, a streetside shop facing Serenity Park with some red canopies and a plaque next to its entrance.
Serenity Park
Speaking of Serenity Park, that's our next destination. This plaque is also tricky, as it sits on a tree trunk next to the park's western entrance. Look for a stone staircase leading into the park with a massive tree next to it to find the plaque and read more about the area's history.
Averno City's Museum of Local History
One of the most interesting parts of Averno City is the Dutch Exchange museum. It's particularly eye-catching, especially when you're looking for the plaque next to its entrance. Read through its lore to get one step closer to unlocking the Historian achievement.
Beale Broadcast
Yes, even the local news station has a plaque to help you learn more about its history and services. The broadcasting station is also in the Dutch Exchange, with this building in its western half rather than the east. You'll spot blue and white signs plastered about, and the plaque next to "Averno Sentinel" text.
Electric Avenue Theater
Are you ready to see a show? Although The Precinct doesn't let you sit back and watch movies at the theater, it does let you read the plaque next to its front entrance. You'll spot this theater in Shermer Court's upper half along the building's wall. The wall faces Electric Avenue, so watch out for nearby cars.
The Roxy Lounge
If you're looking for a wild night at a lounge, Carlito is where you'll find it. Within this area is the Peep Show lounge near the Electric Avenue and Sentinel Square road curve. You'll spot the plaque between this round and the In Love By Act 3 Record & Tape center.
Jammy's Donuts
After a long day of surveying Averno City as a police officer, sitting back and eating some donuts sounds great. Fortunately, you only need to travel to Boddicker Yard's fast travel station to get some. As a bonus, you'll find another plaque, getting you one step closer to finding them all.
Western Averno City Bridge
One of the more peculiar plaque locations in The Precinct is one southwest of Skid Row, next to Longmile Bridge. You won't find much here, but you will see a large green and white metal building with a plaque on its wall.
Averno City Docks
Last but not least, we have the Averno City Docks directly north of Carver Port. If you're familiar with The Precinct's rare cars, you may recognize this spot near the Extra Woodie vehicle's spawn location. At the docks, you'll find a massive red brick building with a plaque near its southern corner.
Once you read this final lore screen, you'll officially have every The Precinct plaque checked off your list, rewarding you with the Historian achievement or trophy, depending on your platform.
