PCGamesN Thursday, August 28, 2025 3:34 PM What are the best Destiny Rising characters? With around ten characters already in the game and several more known to be on the horizon, we've got to work on testing, judging, and grading the Legendary and Mythic heroes available through its launch banners, battle passes, and promotional missions. The answers may surprise you. Unlike Destiny 2, Destiny Rising isn't all about upgrading your personal avatar. Instead, this "Wolf" fills a pre-determined spot in the roster. Its weapon type, element, and skills are static. Changing the way you play means pulling and upgrading other characters like Ikora, Jolder, and Gywnn through a gacha system using currencies not exclusive to what Destiny Rising codes can get you.

Taito and Square Enix revealed the next NieR 15th anniversary prize item headed to Japanese arcades, and this time it will be a small room rug designed to resemble Emil. It is set to show up in the middle of September 2025, though there is no exact date for its debut just yet. There are no listings for it yet at stores that ship worldwide. However, with De Minimis Exemption ending on August 29, 2025 and tariffs, we might not see it in the US.
The Emil head rug isn't terribly large, as it is only over 19 inches long (50cm). It's a white circle with the character's facial features in grey and a black outline along the edges. The product listing didn't note what it is made of or if it is machine washable.
Here's how that will look. There is a pair of slippers nearby to offer a sense of scale.
This isn't the only upcoming Taito NieR 15th anniversary prize item featuring Emil, as there's the room light too. It's actually a returning product first sold in honor of NieR Replicant in June 2022. It involves Emil's head on a pedestal, with a motion sensor that causes it to light up with movement. That first became available again at the beginning of August 2025.
The NieR 15th anniversary Emil rug will show up as a prize in Japanese arcades in the middle of September 2025. There's no word yet on if or when we could see it worldwide. NieR first appeared on the PS3 and Xbox 360, with the Replicant release showing up on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

While the 1.4 update for Persona 5: The Phantom X just launched last week and added more to Phoebe's Synergy Story alongside her playable debut, Atlus is already teasing the characters and launch of the 2.0 patch. They'll be the main character Riko "Wind" Tanemura, who joins the Phantom Thieves alongside Wonder, and the new Phantom Idol Ayaka "Chord" Sakai.
We do already know a bit about Wind and Chord, due to Persona 5: The Phantom X being available in other regions ahead of the global debut, but Atlus shared initial character profiles for both of the new units. Atsumi Tanezaki voices Riko. She's also at Kokatsu Academy with Wonder and Closer. She uses a Parasol and her Persona Chiyome to attack enemies. She'll also fill the Navigator role. We'll see her in chapter 3 of the campaign. She'll be a four-star.
In the case of Ayaka, Chord is played by Yui Makino. As a Phantom Idol, you'll need to pull her on the gacha to get her. She uses a guitar as a weapon, and her Persona is Calliope. Chord will have her own Synergy Story, just like characters such as Phoebe. She will act as a Strategist when she appears and deal Electric damage. She's a five-star.
Here are the photos of the two profile images Atlus shared for the new new Persona 5: The Phantom X characters debuting in 2.0.
Persona 5: The Phantom X is available on the PC and mobile devices, and Ayaka "Chord" Sakai and Riko "Wind" Tanemura will be the focus of the upcoming 2.0 update.

A new Umamusume: Pretty Derby banner with three-star versions of Mayano Top Gun and Air Groove as brides will debut on August 28, 2025. Each one marks the first appearance of them at that higher rating. It's also the first time each one appeared with an alternate outfit. They'll also appear alongside Support Cards of bridal versions of Hishi Akebono and Kawakami Princess. Both banners run until September 10, 2025, with the characters and cards joining the general pool after.
As seems to be common withalts, their growth rates are increased for three stats instead of just two. Mayano Top Gun gets boosts to Speed, Stamina, and Wisdom with her Sunlight Bouquet version in Umamusume: Pretty Derby, which will help since she uses a Front Runner or Pace Chaser strategy to complete Medium and Long races on Turf. Her Flowery Maneuver Unique Skill will either increase her velocity or acceleration on the final corner when passing depending on her positioning. She can also eventually get the Mystifying Murmur and Swinging Maestro skills by investing in her.
As for Quercus Civilis: Air Groove, her priority growth stats in Umamusume: Pretty Derby are Speed, Power, and Guts. She's a Pace Chaser or Late Surger who is best at Medium races on Turf, but could be boosted via inheritances to be a Spring and Mile racer too. Her Eternal Moments Unique Skill is tied to increasing velocity mid-race if she's in the front half.
Here are the images highlighting both of them.
The two new Support Cards joining Umamusume: Pretty Derby this week don't have any especially notable Career Event skills. Princess Bride: Kawakami Princess is a Speed card that could teach your Trainee Center Stage, which helps "early-race" navigation. Who Wants the First Bite: Hishi Akebono is a Guts card that helps Front Runners from being surrounded when a race starts with Sixth Sense.
You can see both of them below:
This marks the last Trainee banner Cygames announced in the August 2025 Umamusume: Pretty Derby schedule. It and the Racing Hearts: Beauty in Bloom event both are set to appear until September 10, 2025. We should learn more about what to expect next month soon. Going by the Japanese releases, we should see Seiun Sky, Hishi Amazon, a banner with alts of El Condor Pasa and Grass Wonder, and Fuji Kiseki.
Umamusume: Pretty Derby is available for the PC and mobile devices, and the three-star bride versions of Trainees Sunlight Bouquet: Mayano Top Gun and Quercus Civilis: Air Groove debut on August 28, 2025.

The No Man's Sky Voyagers 6.0 update has introduced a fresh Twitch Drops campaign that runs across five days, and there's plenty to unlock for the fans.
This is the game's 11th Twitch drops campaign, and the rewards look pretty stacked. The first day of rewards is already active as of writing, with four more days to come. Let's quickly look at unlocking them all and what's on offer.

Augusta's massive DMG output, chain combo-focused playstyle, and self-buffing potential saw her take the spot as the ultimate Electro DPS in Wuthering Waves, even as her reliance on Heavy Attack DMG narrows her best team and build options—at least until Iuno arrives.
Table of contents
The best weapons for Augusta in Wuthering Waves
Like all featured resonators, the best weapon for Augusta in Wuthering Waves is her signature 5-star, Thunderflare Dominion. Offering 12.1% CRIT Rate and 675 ATK, the broadblade increases her Heavy Attack DMG by 20% for 15 seconds following her Intro or Resonance Skill. But that's not all, as after each Glory's Favor activation, it also provides her with a 7.2% increase in Heavy ATK DMG DEF negation (R1). The effect can stack up to five times for a 36% debuff while shielded.
If you don't have the resources for it, or want to save your Astrite for future banners, Jiyan's Verdant Summit is then Augusta's best pick and a close second to her signature. The reason? It's a 48 percent boost in CRIT DMG and still an unmatched 48 percent Heavy Attack DMG increase following a quick Intro + Liberation combo (R1). Unlike Thunderflare Dominion, the 5-star also offers the usual 12 percent all-attribute bonus passive.
Best 4-Star and F2P Weapons
Thanks to its high ATK, the 5-star Lustrous Razor takes the spot as the best F2P pick for Augusta. Among the 4-stars, however, the newly released Pioneer Podcast-exclusive Aureate Zenith takes the crown, as it offers 40.5 percent Crit DMG and boosts her ATK and Heavy Attack DMG by 7.2 and 10.2 percent after performing any of her Resonance Liberation variants. All values are related to the weapons at R1.
To recap and give you another 5-star alternative, here are the best weapons for Augusta in Wuthering Waves:
The best Sonata and Echoes for Augusta
Handmade for her, Crown of Valor shines as the best Sonata for Augusta by a large margin, via its ability to increase her ATK and CRIT DMG by up to 30 percent and 20 percent while shielded, an effect she can easily max out with Glory's Favor 0.5 interval. As the above only demands three Echoes, we will then pair it with Void Thunder for its 10 percent Electro DMG increase.
To get the best out of Crown of Valor, our Augusta build will then use a 4-3-3-1-1 Echo formation with The False Sovereign as our main. When equipped in the role, its skill allows her to get a 12 percent boost in both Electro and Heavy Attack DMG. Unlike most, the Echo can also be used twice in succession.
Recommended stats and substats
Depending on the main stat of your weapon, you should go with either CRIT Rate or DMG for your main echo, while always prioritizing the DPS-specific pairs of Electro DMG and ATK for the remaining picks. Substat-wise, prioritize CRIT and Heavy Attack DMG. Remember, to get the most out of any DPS, you must aim for a minimum of 60 percent Crit Rate and 150/200 percent CRIT DMG. Ideally, aim for 70 and 250+.
The best Augusta team in Wuthering Waves
Thanks to his ability to massively boost her Heavy ATK DMG, the best Augusta team in Wuthering Waves mirrors Jiyan's by having Mortefi as its support/foundation. The duo is then joined by either Shorekeeper or Verina in the healer slot, with the former being the premier choice given her CRIT Rate buff. Until Iuno arrives and takes Mortefi's spot as her best support, this team is also the only one in the game capable of buffing Augusta efficiently. Here's the best rotation for it:
Be sure to take a look at all of the Wuthering Waves' active codes for a welcome dose of Astrite. Believe me, you'll need it if you want to get her best support.

"Guy Savage" sounds like a name Kojima could come up with for a character in Death Stranding, but it's actually a spectacular secret minigame players could access in the original MGS3. Now you can find its much-improved version in Delta as well.
The original Guy Savage was already a mind-blowing Easter Egg, the kind that only Kojima would dare invent. It featured gameplay that was Devil May Cry-inspired but also unique, and featured absolutely no relation to the game it was in. It was its very own cool thing, and Kojima's crew made it knowing they'd be putting it in a place so many players would never even find it.
Now, with Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, players get a much-improved version of Guy Savage that features a new look and many more moves and enemies to slaughter.
Like Delta, it was made without Kojima's involvement, but there's a beautiful plot twist worthy of Kojima himself. See, Nu-Guy is made by Platinum Games, the studio responsible for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. The result is a bloodbath likely to please MGS and Bloodborne fans alike.
How to play Guy Savage in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
Much like in the original Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, players can access Guy Savage, aka Snake's Nightmare, by saving the game while in prison in Groznyj Grad, then simply by loading that save file. Players will immediately know they did it right if Paramedic starts talking about Count Dracula and Renfield, Dracula's servant. Upon reloading the game, they'll no longer be in Groznyj Grad, but in what I must assume is Transylvania to slay hordes of vampires and ghouls in what feels like a cool mix of Metal Gear Solid: Revengeance and Bloodborne.
Alternatively, players who finish Delta will unlock the option to replay an even better version of Guy Savage from the main menu, one featuring no time limit and extra features that won't be spoiled here.
But what's Guy Savage, exactly?
Many fans originally theorized that the first iteration of Guy Savage was actually a prototype for a new IP Konami had in the works. Still, whether or not that was intended to be the case, Guy Savage ended up as nothing more than the most unexpectedly cool minigame ever.
The new Guy Savage seems to take a lot of inspiration from the Castlevania series for its looks and gameplay hooks, so many are, once again, theorizing this might be a taste of things to come. Here's hoping the new Guy Savage actually turns into Platinum's new big hit, but even if it doesn't, it'll still go down in history as the best remake of a minigame ever.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater brings back the same old gameplay in new colors, but the launch day performance of Unreal Engine 5 has been anything but unreal.
My first couple of days began with a sudden crash, followed by stutter and frame drops. Thankfully, there are a few important steps you can try on PC if you're also facing some/all of my problems. The performance on consoles has been anything but perfect as well, but it's easier to fix the situations on your PC.

Destiny Rising is the latest spinoff of the Destiny franchise, and for a change, Bungie (with the help of NetEase) has expanded the horizons to mobile devices. However, you can certainly take advantage of the new shooter's controls by playing on a PC.
Unlike other popular titles like Wuthering Waves, Genshin Impact, and more, there's no official PC port at the time of writing (at least not on launch day). However, NetEase has ensured an easy alternative for those who might not want to play on their phones.

How to play Destiny Rising on PC?
You'll need to use an Android Emulator to play Destiny Rising on a PC. Unless you have never heard the concept, an emulator recreates a working Android environment on your PC. In the case of Destiny Rising, there's official Emulator support, making it easy for you to play.
Now that you know how to play on PC, let's look at the best possible settings to run.
Best Destiny Rising PC settings
There are two sets of settings you need to focus on. First comes the in-game graphics, which shouldn't be a problem as we play on PC. Here's what I am using on my setup, but you can turn the Rendering Quality down if your PC is relatively old.
The more important set of settings is located in the Device Settings menu of MuMuPlayer. To access it, click on the three dots at the top of the screen. From there, open Device Settings and complete the following steps.
Note that these settings apply to other Android games you might run on MuMuPlayer.

If you told me one of the most-played Steam games today is the ninth-worst-rated on the platform, I wouldn't believe you. There are two reasons why this free card game, Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond (SVWB), got to a 72% negative review score and why it temporarily bounced back.
On Aug. 28, over 92,000 players were on Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond in the early morning, a number that dropped by half five hours later, according to Steamcharts. This player count is still significantly higher than the average 29,000 players the game saw in July, or the 17,700 average of the last 30 days. Today's numbers made SVWB the 13th most-played game on Steam on Aug. 28, though it has now dropped to 16th—and will probably continue dropping.
Ranking so high is a special feat for a game so poorly rated. SVWB not only has 72% overall negative reviews on Steam, but 86% negative in the last 30 days. While the graph for the game's reviews shows it never had a negative rating lower than 55%, these numbers were at their worst when a special event ended on Aug. 18 and when the game released on June 14.
The latter is easy to explain. SVWB was bombed at launch because of its expensive and unfair monetization system. Players who came from the original Shadowverse were annoyed at how much harder it had become to collect cards as a free-to-play gamer and how much whales could get a quick edge at building decks just because their wallets were bigger. So, regular players gave SVWB negative reviews.
The second review bombing explains the recent 86% negative rating. Developer Cygames ran an in-game event called Battle Fest between Aug. 15 and 17. It was, essentially, a popularity contest between three of the characters' factions.
In the first stage of the event, players scored points for their chosen faction by playing matches and buying card packs. In the second stage, 100 random players from each faction scored bonus points by winning matches. Players from the winning faction, after the scores of the two stages were added up, would get free character cosmetics.
The event ended with the faction with the fewest points in the first stage, Runecraft, winning the whole thing with a massive comeback in the second. What the faction lacked in popularity, it made up for in card strength, as it had the most overpowered deck. So, it got a bunch of wins and points in the second stage.
Players were already mad that the most popular factions lost and the most overpowered won, and Cygames made it worse. The devs added the loser's Battle Fest cosmetics as an expensive premium bundle just a day after the event finished. People felt they were tricked into having to pay for cosmetics that would've been free if the two popular factions had won, which added to the "Cygames is greedy" discourse.
How Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond survived all that is a mystery. Players probably still enjoy the game despite all that, and Steam's negative reviews might have come from a minority. Either way, as the aftermath of the review bombing fades, the game seems alive.
A new battle pass is why SVWB peaked on Aug. 28, among all this chaos. Players were logging in to check out the rewards, which led to that spike. The average will likely stabilize again in the coming days.

Search has changed quite a bit over the last couple of years, and everyone in the media business knows it. You probably know it, too—you loyal observant reader, you. We're sure you're probably tired of scrolling past 17 blogs that all copied the same press release, just to get to the unfiltered, possibly slightly unhinged takes that only Destructoid delivers.
But there's good news: You can train the almighty Google to bump up our beautiful nonsense to the top of your search results.
Earlier in August 2025, the overlords at Google introduced a new product called Preferred Sources to its proprietary search engine that allows users to customize which sites they're more likely to see first on the search results page, a.k.a. a user's "preferred source." This product causes those sites to appear before retail stores or forums like Reddit after you've completed a Google search. For now, the Preferred Sources feature is only available in the U.S. and India.
If you're a fan of what we're doing here at Destructoid and want to help our site keep publishing content, we'd greatly appreciate you taking the time to make us one of your preferred sites on Google so we'll show up more frequently on your results page.
And luckily for us both, it's a simple process to set Destructoid as a preferred source. All you need to do is head over to Google's source preferences page, type in "destructoid.com" (or follow this link for your convenience), then make sure the box is checked, as shown in the image below.
And ta-da! Destructoid and all of our staff's finger-wagging will pop up first on search the next time you Google the latest Pokémon leak. Or walkthroughs for the latest hit release. Or, well, anything gaming related, really.

Metal Gear Solid 3 has been successfully remade with Unreal Engine 5, and the game is a blast to play.
Whether you're new to the series or a veteran, there's a lot of fun to be had in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. It's a faithful recreation of the original game with upgraded visuals and reimagined controls, but when it comes to how long the experience lasts, there are a couple of varying factors.
Here's what you need to know about how long Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater lasts.
MGS Delta Snake Eater length, explained
A first playthrough of MGS Delta: Snake Eater could take anywhere from 10 to 15 hours, but it all depends on the player's skill level, how many cutscenes are skipped, and if they played the original game or not and have an idea of what to expect.
In total, MGS3 (and Delta) has around five hours' worth of cutscenes alone, but the gameplay segment length is all dependent on the player. The game can be speedrun pretty quickly, and if players skip every cutscene and play the game normally, that can take anywhere from three to five hours, normally.
Plus, you have to keep in mind some lengthy Codec/radio calls and a number of optional calls that take place as well. If you sit and listen to all of the conversations in the game, it will only add to the length of the title.
But for players who want to be a completionist and collect all of the trophies, achievements, and other collectibles that MGS Delta has to offer (like shooting all 64 Kerotan frogs and GA-KO ducks found within the map), there's easily well over 25 hours of game time to be spent if you want to experience everything the game brings, including Snake vs. Monkey or Snake vs. Bomberman modes.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is on its way to finally launching on Sept. 4. And just like revealing God's existence would spawn a billion believers, so did Silksong produce Hollow Knight's new all-time player record.
Peaking at 52,208 players today, according to SteamDB, Hollow Knight has broken its own all-time player record, fueled no doubt by waves of players galvanized by Silksong's looming release date. With only about a week left before this highly anticipated sequel hits the imaginary digital shelves of Steam and other platforms, the 2017 Hollow Knight enjoys unprecedented attention and player engagement, proving just how hyped the little caped ghost man truly is.
For those who have yet to give it a try, Hollow Knight is a 2D side-scrolling metroidvania with significant Soulslike elements. You play as the eponymous character, exploring a dark, gritty, atmospheric, and interconnected world, fighting all manner of beasts, monsters, and, most importantly, bosses. It is a notoriously difficult game, much like other Soulslikes, and has a unique and recognizable art style, which gives it that extra (Team) Cherry on top.
Silksong is its upcoming sequel, a game that has been "stuck" in development for over seven years. However, the sole reason for its long development time was that the devs were simply having too much fun making it, enjoying every step of the way. In fact, they had so many ideas for the game that putting them all into it would've taken at least 15 years, and they only stopped development for the sake of actually launching the thing (and that extra content will probably come, too, via DLC content).
Launching on Sept. 4, the wait is almost over, so if you want to be part of the finally happy Hollow Knight fan base, now is the best time to hop in and give the game a spin or two.
