PCGamesN Wednesday, June 25, 2025 7:00 PM I'm a game journalist, so it's safe to assume that I've plowed many, many hours into Slay the Spire. The seminal roguelike deckbuilder's influence is evident across countless games, from indie sensation Balatro to Hooded Horse's 9 Kings. Thanks to StS, the genre has swelled, and it now feels like I can't go 24 hours without a new roguelike deckbuilder hitting my inbox. Malys, however, is one of the few that caught my attention, partly because it's the brainchild of Dragon Age legend David Gaider, but also because its dark fantasy setting reminded me of my beloved Vampire: The Masquerade.

PCGamesN Wednesday, June 25, 2025 5:50 PM When the Resident Evil Requiem trailer premiered earlier this year at the Summer Games, I lost it! I am a massive fan of the franchise, to the extent that I am considering it for my next tattoo. So, naturally, the announcement got me wanting to shoot some zombos. I love the combination of psychological and grotesque body horror of Biohazard, but I feel that Resident Evil Village is the cream of the crop and the one I recommend playing first if you're new to the series or just wanting to catch up. Fortunately, it's 75% off over at Humble right now, making now a good time to add it to your library.

PCGamesN Wednesday, June 25, 2025 5:38 PM Working as a dispatcher in a call centre sounds like a rather mundane premise for a new strategy game. Sure, managing an increasing number of jobs and allocating the right amount of resources to attend each one could slot into a loose RTS or management sim framework, but it doesn't exactly fill you with excitement. That is unless you're dealing with a squad of superheroes. The upcoming Dispatch puts you in command of some spandex-wearing supers, sending them out to help citizens in need. Thanks to its unusual concept, stunning visuals, and a recent Steam Next Fest demo that blew players' socks off, it's now zoomed its way up the Steam wishlist charts.

Episode 12 of Gundam GQuuuuuuX included an Endymion Unit Awakened form of the gMS-Ω GQuuuuuuX, and Bandai Namco confirmed a model kit of it is on the way. There's no word on exactly when it will debut. However, the company confirmed on social media that the Metal Robot Spirits version of the GQuuuuuuX will also now include parts for that form.
Editor's Note: There will be photos spoiling the appearance of the Gundam GQuuuuuuX Endymion Unit Awakened model kit and Metal Robot Spirits figures below.
In the case of the Gundam GQuuuuuuX model, it will be a HG 1/144 scale kit to build a figure. It seems to take cues from the kit already available worldwide. The announcement on social media mentioned more information would be shared in the near future, while included image said it is "coming soon."
Here's how that example image of the model will look:
As for the Metal Robot Spirits version of the gMS-Ω GQuuuuuuX, that will feature parts from Omega Psycommu System and the Endymion Unit Awakened from later parts of the anime. These parts are optional and can be swapped in or added on to change the appearance of the unit to match the look at the end of the series.
Some initial photos appeared to offer an update of how they'll look:
The Gundam GQuuuuuuX anime is streaming on Amazon, the Metal Robot Spirits figure will be out in August 2025, and the Endymion Unit Awakened model kit is in development.

The Hollow Knight Nendoroids of The Knight and Hornet that debuted in 2023 in Japan and 2024 worldwide are poised to return alongside Hollow Knight: Silksong. While they cost $43.99 back then, they are $41.99/¥6,400 now. They will debut in September 2025 in Japan, followed by a worldwide release in 2026 after that.
The rereleases are identical to the original run, so don't expect any additional parts or face plates. The Knight comes with a standard cloak and one that looks like it's caught up in the wind. The Nail weapon is available to wield, and there's an effect part for its attacks. There's also a Knightling accessory. Likewise, Hornet comes with two cloak options, her Needle weapon, attack effects, and a Cogfly. Both come with special bases if purchased directly through Good Smile Company.
As a reminder, here's how those look:
There's still no Hollow Knight: Silksong release date window beyond 2025. It will be playable at the ACMI Game Worlds museum starting on September 18, 2025, plus the SteamDB reported changes to the product page, so the release is likely imminent.
The Hollow Knight Nendoroids of the Knight and Hornet will show up in Japan again in September 2025, followed by a worldwide release in Q1 2026. Pre-orders close on July 16, 2025. Hollow Knight: Silksong will come to the Switch, Switch 2, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC

The add-on costs $5.97 for all four tracks, and the Gawr Gura song "Reflect" is available for free. The statement noted the free add-on is intended to be a "chumbud send-off" for the performer who graduated in April 2025.
Each of the songs is available inEasy, Medium, Hard, and Impossible. When performing, Cadence appears on the left and the Hololive Vtuber shows up on the right. Here's the list of each track that appears as part of the crossover:
Cover Vtubers have played the game in the past. Hololive English Justice's Gigi Murin and Holostars Tempus' Josuiji Shinri both did so on-stream.
Here's the official trailer for the Rift of the Necrodancer Hololive Music Pack DLC that offers previews of each song in the pack.
This is the second notable add-on to appear for the game in June 2025. The first involved Hatsune Miku songs. That included "Too Real" for free, then "Intergalactic Bound," "Just 1dB Louder," "Magical Cure: Love Shot," "MikuFiesta," and "Radiant Revival" as paid tracks. That pack is $7.45.
In case you missed it, here's how that sounds:

VShojo and General GEEGA both confirmed on social media that the Vtuber will leave the company on June 27, 2025. She will retain her IP, which she owned when she came to the company, and continue streaming. She also said that she'll still remain active and has more projects on the way.
Here is the brief VShojo statement the company issued online. It confirmed its official storefront will carry her items until the day she leaves the company. The 3D Debut, Inquisitor, and Hunt Week Merch Drop collections are there at the moment. Existing and purchases made ahead of her departure and its removal will still be shipped.
The GEEGA statement regarding her departure from VShojo is below. In it she expressed her love for her fellow Vtubers at the company and her manager at the company Kenzo. She confirmed she will continue to collab with those performers and considers them friends.
GEEGA took to her Twitch account on June 25, 2025, immediately after the announcement, to explain her decision. She noted that because she always worked fairly independently and did a lot of work on her own, that the arrangement didn't make sense for her. She noted that VShojo would get a cut of her merchandise and sponsorships profits as part of the contract, but because she would be so involved with her business it sounded like it didn't take as much off of her shoulders. She also said that her work with VShojo Vtubers functionally wasn't different from interacting with her friends at the company back when she was independent. She says that projects she was working on while at VShojo before this should go through unchanged, this is a business decision, and she doesn't expect anything will change for her and regarding her streams and direction going forward.
In the Twitch stream, GEEGA also noted that this is different from the Matara Kan departure. She stated that she decided she wanted to go solo again, then approached the company to make that decision. She said her renewal date would have been in August 2025, but she decided she wanted to leave before this. She also joked and said she "did not have dental" or a 401k when someone in the Twitch stream asked. She also said she didn't think anything changed on either her or VShojo's side, but said she "realized it wasn't the arrangement [she] wanted."
General GEEGA started as an indie Vtuber in February 2021, she joined VShojo in September 2023, and she will return to being an indie when she leaves the company on June 27, 2025.

Infold announced that the 4.0 Love and Deepspace update is on the way and, ahead of a Special Program showcase for it, confirmed that will involve a new theme song and Quality Time feature. The presentation will air on YouTube at 3:30am PT/6:30am ET June 27, 2025, and the new version will launch on July 3, 2025.
The new Love and Deepspace theme song for 4.0 hasn't been revealed yet. However, the company did share some details about it on social media ahead of the presentation. Angela Zhang will perform it. The title is "Witnessed by Deepspace." While it will be in-game, we'll get to listen to it online before then during its official June 29, 2025 debut.
In the past, Infold hired a number of notable performers to perform the Love and Deepspace theme songs. Sarah Brightman sings the primary one, which is called "Love and Deepspace." You can watch that one below:
Mikelangelo Loconte sang the 2.0 theme "Visions Opposees," which was written by Mozart, L'opéra Rock creators Dove Attia and Rod Janois.
Wu Bixia performed the 3.0 theme song "Cosmic Encounter." That version update also added Caleb as a love interest and a period tracker.
As for the new Quality Time Love and Deepspace feature, it seems it will involve a means of falling asleep alongside one of the chosen bachelors from the game. It will be called Drift into Dreams.
Love and Deepspace is available on mobile devices, and the 4.0 update arrives on July 3, 2025.

A new Hideo Kojima game has arrived, and that feels like an event in itself. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is here and it's an incredible progression and advancement from its predecessor, by all accounts.
I've been playing Death Stranding 2 on PS5 Pro, and it's a stunner. It's likely one of the best-looking games of this generation, if not ever, and the game has evolved from a gameplay and storytelling perspective, too.
Naturally, with a console exclusive looking this incredible from a graphics standpoint, PC gamers are wondering when they will get to flex their builds with this graphical behemoth without having to purchase or bust out a PS5 console to do so.
Here's everything we know so far about Death Stranding 2's PC release.
Table of contents
Is Death Stranding 2 coming to PC?
While there's no official confirmation yet, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will most likely be coming to PC at a later date. For the past several years, PlayStation exclusives have launched on PC some time after their console launch, so a PC launch for DS2 is a safe bet to continue this trend.
Other previous PS5 exclusives that launched on Steam over a year later include Stellar Blade, Marvel's Spider-Man, Returnal, God of War: Ragnarok, and others, while a game like Helldivers 2 bucked the trend and launched simultaneously on console and PC.
When will Death Stranding 2 come to PC?
There's no current concrete timetable for Death Stranding 2 to launch on PC, but it will likely be at least a year after its PS5 launch. For example, Death Stranding launched on PS4 in November 2019, and it didn't come to Steam to launch on PC until March 2022.
Following trends of recent PS5 exclusives, we most likely won't see a PC launch of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach until summer 2026 at the earliest, but that could change at any time.
PlayStation has reiterated time and time again that it prefers its strategy of launching games exclusively on PlayStation and then bringing them to PC later on to capitalize on things like a "game of the year" edition, so DS2 will probably follow suit.
Stay tuned for official information from both PlayStation and Kojima Productions in the coming months about all future announcements about the PC version of DS2.
This article will be updated with new information whenever it becomes available.

Coralum is the latest metal to be added to Palworld as part of the Tides of Terraria update, and finding it can be a considerable challenge.
The game does not clearly explain where to find this item. You'll need it for the first time while preparing Coralum Ingots, which are, in turn, required for making advanced Ingots and Fishing Rods. Most of the ores are found in different parts of the world, and you have to mine and process them. Coralum, on the other hand, will require you to head to the oceans.
Table of contents
How to find Coralum in Palworld
Coralum is present all around the islands but not on them. Instead, they can be found in the salvage floating on the ocean. You'll have to hook salvage from the ocean with the correct equipment. Then, it will all boil down to your luck, which determines what you get from a specific salvage.
To get salvage, you'll need a fishing rod and a magnet. Magnets unlock at level 60, so you'll have to clear endgame content before unlocking the required schematic.
There's an easier way to obtain this ore as well. For that, you'll have to catch either the Whalaska or the Whalaska Ignis Pals. Both of them are part of the new islands, so you'll have to head over and tame them. However, you should be at least level 50 before trying to tame them.
That's pretty much how you can obtain Coralum ore. Let's examine its uses.
Best ways to use Coralum in Palworld
Coralum has three primary uses.
That's pretty much all you need to know about finding and utilizing Coralum in the game.

MyTeam
