Batman: Arkham Knight turns ten this week. The fourth in the Arkham series and third of Rocksteady's trilogy, it's a mighty action game that delivers a worthy finale to the arc. I still remember my first playthrough; back in 2015, the PC port was plagued by performance problems and crashes, though I was lucky enough to avoid the worst of it. Nowadays, however, it's probably the best way to play the beloved superhero saga, and it's about to get a major upgrade with a wealth of new features, albeit from an unofficial source.

What are the new Volleyball Legends codes? Taking to the volleyball court in this Roblox adventure will have you itching to get ahead of the competition. Inspired by the Haikyuu anime, you'll participate in volleyball matches in teams of six and compete to be the best.

This unofficial, fan-made Roblox game isn't strictly affiliated with Haikyuu, but the imagery and references to the manga series are plain to see. Unlike the latest Blox Fruits codes or Dress to Impress codes, Haikyuu Legends codes won't get you currency, but they can have a direct effect on your skill level in the game, so take note.

Let's cut to the chase - if you live and breathe soulslikes, you're almost certainly going to have a good time with Wuchang Fallen Feathers, which boasts loads of weapons, engaging combat, big bosses, and a vast world to explore. But to make an impression in this increasingly crowded genre and be considered one of the greats, you need to do more than nail the essentials. If you're keeping your combat experience closely aligned with Fromsoftware's games, then you probably need a setting that's new and refreshing. If you're sticking with a dark fantasy world, then some tweaks to the typical combat formula wouldn't go amiss. Judging by my first hour of hands-on time with Wuchang Fallen Feathers at Summer Game Fest, it shakes up both of these areas, creating a dynamic and vibrant soulslike that still offers the expected levels of challenge.

All the same, it being a live service game might ultimately be its benefit thanks to the power of that mystical force called "updates." In a Steam post shared by the FBC: Firebreak team, some planned improvements were outlined, which certainly sound like they'd make for a better experience.

Nijisanji Vtuber Twisty Amanozako Returns for Her Birthday Anycolor Terminated Nijisanji Vtuber Twisty Amanozako

Four days after setting the social media account and YouTube channel for Nijisanji Vtuber Twisty Amanozako and removing her from the official site and storefront on June 17, 2025, Anycolor announced it terminated the contract with the performer. It cited "instances of discriminatory speech" in the formal notice on its Nijisanji EN Official account. 

Here is a copy of the full statement from Anycolor made on the account.

"Announcement Regarding Twisty Amanozako's Contract Termination

NIJISANJI EN has terminated its contract with Twisty Amanozako due to confirmed instances of discriminatory speech, which is in direct violation of our contract terms and is not tolerated in our community.

We appreciate your continued support as we grow together, and we remain committed to fostering a community built on mutual respect, creativity, and accountability.

Thank you for your understanding."

Prior to being terminated, Twisty Amanozako hadn't been streaming for Anycolor, as the Nijisanji Vtuber was on an indefinite hiatus. She did return briefly in January 2025 for her birthday celebration and show uo at events. The one-year anniversary Denauth merchandise, which featured the performer and fellow members of her generation Klara Charmwood and Ryoma Barrenwort, initially included her as well. Now only the two others appear in that line.

This means there are still two situations regarding Nijisanji English with no statements from Anycolor. One is the absence of Vtuber Vtuber Aster Arcadia. Following accusations about his character and behavior, he's been completely absent with no hiatus notice and his remaining  "My First Cooking Stream + Special Announcement" stream being continually delayed. The other is Anycolor's findings from an official "third-party investigation" into sexual harassment and information leaking regarding employees and Vtubers at the company. 

Twisty Amanozako was a Nijisanji English member between May 2024 and June 2025, and she was part of the Denauth generation alongside Klara Charmwood and Ryoma Barrenwort. Both of her gen-mates remain active.

Kill the Clock Offers an Early Peek at a Time Loop Mystery

What if your motivation for solving a crime is because you wanted to be the person to kill someone? But now you're also trapped constantly reliving that scenario. That's the premise for the upcoming adventure Kill the Clock and, while it's only in early access at the moment, the concept seems sound.

Part of what grabbed my attention about Kill the Clock immediately is the concept. Our character intended to kill William Meyer. However, when we go to do so, we find he's already dead. His wife Linda happens upon the scene and, given the evidence, thinks that we did it. We're arrested, but get a chance to clear our name. This means investigating the crime scene and places of interest and talking to people, perhaps gifting and bribing them while there. Stats influence our capabilities, and we can assess individuals with minigames and psychic abilities. However, since this is also a time loop situation, each "loop" will play out differently with possibly a different murderer and outcome.  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uld7-1e3HsU

The story is generally good. I think I like the premise more than the actual Kill the Clock script at the moment. There are issues with tenses and grammar, and some of the writing comes across a bit flat or out of character. However, this is a work in progress. Since it only did just enter early access and is from a Korean developer, we need to expect a learning curve. I suspect by the time the third chapter is included, we'll start to see the results of editing. 

I do feel like, at the moment, it's difficult to assess how well certain gameplay elements work. This is going to be a four chapter game, and two are present. Relationships with characters, influenced by gifts and bribes, will determine the end we see, as will our actions. I didn't always see exact results from such interactions at the moment, probably because this isn't complete yet. For example, it seems like sometimes I saw people acting pretty favorable or tolerant toward us even without earning/buying their trust, and I'm curious if the bonds' effects will be more noticeable in the 1.0 release. 

Images via Happy Slugs

It is also at a point where some quality of life elements aren't there yet. However, Happy Slugs did already address that. In the time since I started playing and then wrote this initial playtest up, the team already confirmed it would be adding a chapter select option that lets us jump to any of the four chapters and more save file slots. 

Kill the Clock seems ambitious, to be sure, and I'm eager to see if the finished game can match the scope Happy Slugs set for it. The protagonist's motive is unconventional for a detective game, and the general time loop concept is promising too. We'll have to see if some script adjustments, the relationship system, the last two chapters, and bug fixes will make it all worth while in the end. 

Kill the Clock is available in Early Access on Steam for the PC, and a demo is available.

Iowa College Mascot in College Football 26

College Football 26's first gameplay deep-dive focused on the new changes to this year's game, and the defense has been handed a complete overhaul.

According to the developers, there was a general feeling that defense needed more depth and presence. This year's gameplay will offer far better defensive control and responsiveness than College Football 25. At the core of it will be the new Physics-based tackling system.

Table of contents

College Football 26 Defensive Overhaul explained

Last year, EA Sports introduced a new tackle system in Madden NFL 25. This year, the technology makes its way over to College Football 26, and at its core will be the Physics-Based Tackling (PBT).

Your defenders' ratings will matter more as the better ones will win more tackles and do so cleanly. Similarly, weaker defenders are likelier to lose the tackles, so focusing on your college recruitment will be necessary. Additionally, there will be new tackle types in this year's game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsKxOhw9J6g&t=2s

  • Wrap Catch Tackles

  • In-Range Lunge Content

  • Unprepped Hit Sticks

You can also expect better mechanics in general defense.

  • Better timing and aiming compared to previous hit stick tackles.

  • Enjoy better timings and aiming during Stiff Arm moves and general offense.

  • General improvement of the core tackling system.

  • General enhancements will be made for quarterbacks, who will also have a better progression system.

  • Better contact accuracy on PBT tackles.

  • Reduction in abrupt change in momentum after contact.

  • More realistic Post-tackle movements will make the presentation look much more visually appealing.

College Football 26 Stunts explained

Stunts and Twists will no longer be limited to four-man rushes. Instead, you can have more freedom to disrupt assignments and create chaos on the field. Open the new sub-menu to access all available stunts and twists for a specific call. 12 unique stunt types, based on real-life tactics, will be provided for you to choose from.

Games in College Football 26 where a RB is trying to receive the ball while getting tackled

Here's what you can do with the help of the stunts and twists.

  • Force O-line communication errors

  • Set up mismatches and late-looping rushers

  • Disrupt rhythm and pocket integrity

  • Bring true strategy to the trenches

You will also access the Block Steering foundational trench feature, which allows both the AI and the players to influence the direction of a block. The Block Steering system has over 700 new animations to make the gameplay feel authentic. It comes with smarter blocking mechanics, an improved targeting system, and a better understanding of gaps on the field.

Plus, plenty of defensive playbooks allow you to employ new formations and tactics to stop the opposition's offense.

College Football 26 Real Time Coaching 2.0 explained

Real-time coaching has been upgraded this year, changing how the AI-controlled teams will operate. In simpler words, the AI will be far more dynamic regarding decision-making and reacting to situations.

  • Delayed Shifts have been introduced this year. It will be harder for you to observe what the opposition is doing in defense. Rotations of the safeties, for example, will happen later than they previously did.

  • Defenses will act smarter based on the chosen formation and run types.

  • A spatial backend intelligence system called 9-Box has been introduced, so the defensive AI will better understand the attack.

In short, expect the AI to be much shrewder when countering your offense.

Peak game image of players climbing the summit

Indie title PEAK is attracting many new players following its global launch, and one of its USP is the ability to play with your friends.

The objective is to get to the island's top, but not alone. Instead, you'll be cooperating with your buddies to reach the summit. The task won't be easy, as plenty of challenges will exist. Good teamwork will ease your problems and make your course smoother. While you can invite multiple friends to play with you, there are a few limitations.

How many players can you invite to your party in PEAK?

PEAK is best enjoyed in a group of four friends. If you're one of them, you can invite up to three more people. Four is the upper group limit in the current build of the game. To invite your friends, add them to your Steam list. This will make it easier for all of you to play and reach the summit together.

If you have more than three other friends to play with, there's no way to do so together in the base version of the game. However, you can add mods to bypass this limit.

How do you use mods to get more players to play together in PEAK?

Modding PEAK isn't difficult, but you'll have to rely on Thunderstore. As of now, there are few useful options available on the store. However, you can install the MoreScouts mod to increase the limit to 20. Instead of just four people, you can increase matchmaking up to 20 without any lag.

Installing the mod is pretty easy; you'll first need to download the file. You'll first require BepInEx, which acts like the mod manager. Once BepInEx is set up, you'll find a "Plugins" subfolder inside it (in your game's directory). Place the downloaded folder here, and the mod will be ready. To remove the mod, delete the files. If what I said sounds like Greek, try out this guide to learn more about all the steps.

That's all you need to do to bypass the official limit and play with more people together every round.

The Strongest Battlegrounds Character Tier List

In The Strongest Battlegrounds Character tier list above, we can see that The Strongest Hero stands out as the most powerful character, especially with its invincibility and instant-kill potential, while Martial Artist ranks among the weakest due to its low damage output. Characters like Deadly Ninja and Blade Master offer a lot of fun with their high mobility and combo potential, making them enjoyable for many players. Overall, the game balances strong damage dealers with versatile and skill-based fighters, giving options for different playstyles.

The Exclusive Characters are insanely powerful too, but since they are pay-to-win and can only be played in private servers for a limited time, they go lower on the tier list.

The Strongest Battlegrounds Character List

Below is a complete and detailed list of all Characters in The Strongest Battleground, including all their attacks and abilities, listed from strongest to weakest:

The Strongest Hero

The Strongest Hero is a versatile character with a mix of fast and slow attacks, dealing both high and low damage, and features the game's second fastest M1 speed. While they lack range and mobility, their combos can be simple or complex depending on the player's skill. Their ultimate, Serious Mode, lasts forever and can instantly eliminate an opponent if a skill lands, though it doesn't allow health regeneration, and each move can only be used once. This character works well for both beginners and experienced players.

Base Moves Ultimate Moves
Normal Punch Death Counter
Consecutive Punches Table Flip
Shove Serious Punch
Uppercut Omni-Directional Punch

Hero Hunter

Hero Hunter excels at grab-based offense, using precise positioning to unleash massive burst damage and intuitive combos. They also boast a unique counterattack called Prey's Peril that either knocks opponents away or deflects projectiles when timed correctly. Their ultimate, Rampage, can often secure a kill if Final Hunt follows a successful Crushed Rock or Water Stream Cutting Fist, but its range and splash effects are underwhelming. With no ranged or mobility options, Hero Hunter is best suited to intermediate and experienced players who enjoy close-quarters combat.

Base Moves Ultimate Moves
Flowing Water Water Stream Cutting Fist
Lethal Whirlwind Stream The Final Hunt
Hunter's Grasp Rock Splitting Fist
Prey's Peril Crushed Rock

Hero Hunter (Monster Form)

The Hero Hunter's Monster Form is a powerful moveset that works well at both long and close range, but it demands accuracy and precision, making it better suited for experienced players. It can be unlocked by clicking the star next to the Hero Hunter icon and selecting the dropdown option, and contrary to common belief, it doesn't require any mastery to use.

Base Moves Ultimate Moves
Doom Dive None
Crowd Buster None
Hammer Heel None
Binding Cloth None

Brutal Demon

Brutal Demon is a flexible character with a variety of attacks that adapt well to different situations, though its slow M1 speed encourages a more aggressive playstyle. Their standout trait is a strong block-breaking moveset: Homerun, Grand Slam, and Foul Ball all offer great range, speed, and guaranteed combo starts. However, these moves come with higher endlag, and their unblockables are less effective outside of M1 range. Their ultimate, Pumped Up, trades a slower windup for wider splash damage, greater range, and access to a unique instant-kill counter that's safer on whiff and available as a one-time use.

Base Moves Ultimate Moves
Homerun Savage Tornado
Beatdown Brutal Beatdown
Grand Slam Strength Difference
Foul Ball Death Blow

Destructive Cyborg

Destructive Cyborg is a high-damage character with strong mid- to long-range abilities, excelling at zoning and closing gaps with powerful ranged moves. Most of their attacks are safe on block and deal chip damage, though their unblockable options are limited: Ignition Burst needs precise camera control, and their projectile must be fully charged to break through defenses. Their ultimate, Maximum Energy Output, offers impressive range, but aside from Speedblitz Dropkick, which bypasses counters like Death Counter, their moves are slower and leave them vulnerable if missed. This makes them a strong but riskier choice for players who can effectively manage timing and positioning.

Base Moves Ultimate Moves
Machine Gun Blows Thunder Kick
Ignition Burst Speedblitz Dropkick
Blitz Shot Flamewave Cannon
Jet Dive Incinerate

Deadly Ninja

Deadly Ninja is a highly mobile character with a hit-and-run playstyle, using speed and strong range to engage or disengage with ease and punish whiffs more reliably. While their unblockable attacks are limited, low in damage, and riskier due to long windups, their ultimate, Can You Even See Me?, stands out with excellent range, speed, and consistent damage without relying on one-time use moves. However, the lack of armored attacks leaves them vulnerable to interruptions from well-timed enemy moves.

Base Moves Ultimate Moves
Flash Strike Twinblade Rush
Whirlwind Kick Straight On
Scatter Carnage
Explosive Shuriken Fourfold Flashstrike

Wild Psychic

Wild Psychic focuses on grab-based and multi-target attacks, using long-range grabs and two combo extenders to make up for their low individual damage. They fit a punishing playstyle that's great at escaping tight spots and catching opponents who try to run. While they deal the lowest damage among all characters, their utility and control make them a unique option for strategic players.

Base Moves Ultimate Moves
Crushing Pull Cosmic Strike
Windstorm Fury Psychic Ricochet
Stone Coffin Terrible Tornado
Explosive Push Sky Snatcher

Blade Master

Blade Master is a well-rounded character that blends mobility and combo extenders, making it a solid choice for players who understand the game's mechanics. While not immediately apparent, the wide range of techniques available can significantly enhance its potential. Blade Master also features a counter move in its base kit, allowing skilled players to turn defense into a combo opportunity.

Base Moves Ultimate Moves
Quick Slice Sunset
Atoms Cleave Solar Cleave
Pinpoint Cut Sunrise
Split Second Counter Atomic Slash

KJ (Limited Time)

KJ is a limited-time character given by the owner of The Strongest Battlegrounds, and it's unclear how long they will be available. This character can only be used on private servers.

Base Moves Ultimate Moves
Ravage Stoic Bomb
Swift Sweep 20-20-20 Dropkick
Collateral Ruin Five Seasons
Spiraling Storm Unlimited Flex Works

Sorcerer (Exclusive)

Sorcerer is the most powerful character, becoming nearly invincible with its Infinity ability and delivering powerful attacks that can instantly kill opponents. Due to its strength, Sorcerer is only available on private servers with the Private Server+ Gamepass. He is in the bottom tiers because he cannot be used in actual battles against opponents.

Base Moves Ultimate Moves
Infinity None
Repulse None
Erase None
Attract None

Tech Prodigy (Early Access)

Tech Prodigy stands out for its strong zoning abilities that pressure opponents to keep their distance, using moves like Weboom to force retreats and Plasma Cannon to make dodging a priority. While it can apply intense pressure, its slower windups leave it vulnerable to punishment. This character is also effective against teamers thanks to its powerful area-of-effect attacks.

Base Moves Ultimate Moves
Weboom None
Plasma Cannon None
Trinity Tear None
Twin Burst Photon Edge

The Frozen Soul (Exclusive)

The Frozen Soul is a juggernaut-style boss with high health, powerful damage, and strong area-of-effect attacks that excel against teams. Notably, it was the first boss able to regenerate health. Although the creators removed it from public servers on May 24, 2025, players can still summon and use it on private servers by activating the tundra fractal.

Base Moves Ultimate Moves
Permafrost None
Frost Forge None
Freezing Path None
Judgement Chain Sub-Zero Slash Storm

Crab Boss (Exclusive)

Crab Boss is a juggernaut-style character, similar to The Frozen Soul, introduced in the summer event, emerging every 30 minutes to attack nearby players. Its M1 attacks are slower than most characters, but it has high health and immunity to stun, making it a tough opponent that groups find best to challenge. When defeated, the top three damage dealers earn a one-time use of Crab Boss as a playable character.

Base Moves Ultimate Moves
Pincer Barrage None
Giant Leap None
Acid Spit None
Laser Claws None

Martial Artist

Martial Artist features a fast-paced moveset with low cooldowns, allowing for smooth, high-damage combos where most moves link together effortlessly. All of their abilities cause ragdoll effects, except for the standard Vanishing Kick, making it easy to continue pressure once a combo starts. Since most moves can hit ragdolled opponents, players often punish careless use of evasive abilities heavily.

Base Moves Ultimate Moves
Bullet Barrage Grand Fissure
Vanishing Kick Twin Fangs
Whirlwind Drop Earth Splitting Strike
Head First Last Breath
