Atlus announced OrchidSeed will rerelease the Dragon's Crown Sorceress figure. That originally appeared in June 2018, which is after the PS4 Pro version of the game debuted worldwide. This time, it is expected to release in February 2026. One of the first storefronts that ships worldwide to offer it is AmiAmi. It costs 18,700円 (~$127). Due to being out of print, it was going for hundreds of dollars at stores online before this announcement.
This is a static, 1/7 scale figure, just like the original. She stands at over eight and a half inches tall (220mm). A skeleton does appear alongside her, referencing her "Animate Skeleton" attack from the game. She can be displayed with her hat on or off.
Here are some of the official photos of the rerelease of the figure. It shows the Sorceress both with and without her hat. There is also an official A3 poster offered as a bonus through OrchidSeed. (The AmiAmi listing doesn't list that poster as a bonus.
As for the game, there's no word on it possibly returning or reappearing. It originally only showed up on the PS3 and Vita. However, a PS4 "Pro" update appeared five years after.
Dragon's Crown is available on the PS3, PS4, and Vita, and the Sorceress figure will be back in February 2026. Pre-orders from the OrchidSeed store will end on October 28, 2025.

Sega released a new Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Project ONSOKU Hatsune Miku song inspired by Sonic the Hedgehog characters, and this time it involves the Chao and Chao Garden concept. The official art for the song also shows her with some of them. In particular, Dark, Hero, and Specter variants appear.
Here's the full music video for the Ponchi song "Treasure Garden." A higher pitch of the Vocaloid's voice is used for this track, to make it sound more cutesy and chibi.
Here's the full list of all the Project ONSOKU Hatsune Miku and Sonic the Hedgehog songs for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds released so far, along with direct links to the music videos on YouTube.
The last song will be "Denkou Sekka" by Camellia. That will debut on September 22, 2025.
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds will appear worldwide for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Switch, and PC on September 25, 2025, and a Switch 2 version is in development.

Modder JohnTanner1899 released a Red Dead Redemption 2 character model replacement mod that allows someone to turn Taiki Shuttle from Umamusume into the main character. It is available for use in offline mode. Someone with the PC version of the game can download and use it.
This is especially appropriate, as Taiki Shuttle has a wild west style costume in Umamusume and her Shooting for Victory unique skill actually puts her in the Southwest and shows her shooting a gun. JohnTanner1899 suggested the Lenny Mod Loader on Nexus Mods and also noted someone could set it up in the Rampage Menu by going into the Wardrobe section and Model Changer to set this character.
Here's a video Maldara-rng shared showing the Red Dead Redemption 2 Taiki Shuttle mod in action, which also included a number of other Umamusume character mods of Tamamo Cross and Kitasan Black in it.
JohnTanner1899 released seven Red Dead Redemption 2 mods involving Umamusume characters. Here's the full list:
Of those, Nice Nature and Taiki Shuttle are the only two available as playable Trainees in the worldwide version.
Previously, we saw a Zenless Zone Zero mod that added Haru Urara to the game. That was a character replacement one that turned Jufufu into her.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is available for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Umamusume: Pretty Derby is on the PC and mobile devices.

Cover and Aquastar started releasing episodes of a new Hololive Advent vs Justice motion comic on YouTube, which acts as a manga prequel for the two English branch generations. It takes about 12 minutes to watch, and it is online for free. All nine members provided full voice acting for the episode.
This first episode initially is split into two viewpoints as we get to see things from the different generations' perspectives. First, we see the members of Advent discussing their situation. Those Vtubers are imprisoned in The Cell. Due to an unseen issue, they're all in a single one instead of solitary. While all their needs are met, and even exceeded with things that cater to their interests provided, they desire freedom.
From there, the video offers an introduction to the Justice members. They are tasked with keeping Advent under lock and key. Except since they are secured, it is boring. As Raora Panthera even pointed out, it feels like they are the ones imprisoned.
Since Advent decided to bust out, however, it provides an opportunity for both groups to see their day-to-day shaken up.
Here is Hololive Advent vs Justice motion comic episode one, "A Battle for the Ages," with this initial chapter of the manga covering the Advent Vtubers preparing for their escape and Justice sitting around waiting.
There's another Hololive Vtuber manga out now in English. Square Enix released the first volume of Holoearth Chronicles Side:E Yamato Phantasia. That follows alternate reality versions of Shirakami Fubuki and Ookami Mio.
The first episode of the Hololive Advent vs Justice motion comic is available on Cover's YouTube channel now. There's no official schedule, so we don't know exactly when the second episode will appear. If it follows a weekly schedule, we could see the next one appear on September 21, 2025.

Back at the end of August 2025, HoYoVerse announced the Honkai: Nexus Anima Nexus Bond Test and confirmed people could register for access to this closed beta. It ended registration on September 12, 2025. Now it confirmed on social media that emails alerting people who will get to take part went out. It also shared an introduction to the Honkai: Nexus Anima character Scorscythe, yet another Anima we can meet.
In the case of the Nexus Bond Test for Honkai: Nexus Anima, there are two ways to check if you are in the closed beta. The first is to look and see if you got the email. Those should be in inboxes now. The other is to visit the official website. It now has a "Check Test Access" button on it. This allows you to log in and confirm if you can play. If you do have access, then you will be able to download the launcher and play between September 17-23, 2025.
As for Scorscythe, there's a new trailer and summary sharing details about the Anima character in Honkai: Nexus Anima. It's a War aspect character. The social media post noted its tail can turn into a scythe, as the creature's name suggests. It also said it is violent and "wages perpetual war."
Here's that video:
Past trailers showed off Bobabirb, Cublade, and Foalhardy.
The Honkai: Nexus Anima Nexus Link Test will take place on PC and iOS, and the game is in development for PCs and mobile devices.

Shape of Dreams has many features that attract fans of MOBAs and ARPGs to its content, but the game's controls are sure to surprise many.
While the game uses keyboard and mouse, there are different control methods to explore. This also forces players to make a hard choice: which preset to use. Let's explore the controls that are available in Shape of Dreams.
Table of contents
Shape of Dreams key bindings
The basic controls are simple. There aren't too many keys you have to bother about.
MOBA, ARPG
WASD + Mouse
Which control scheme should you use in Shape of Dreams?
The decision naturally depends on your preferences. I prefer using the WASD + Mouse, which feels easier to learn and master. You use the traditional WASD buttons to move, and your Mouse to aim and fire. Buttons around the movement controls fire your skills.
Using the WASD movement layout is better if you're a hardcore ARPG fan. However, the MOBA method feels much better if you play games like DOTA 2 or League of Legends. The layout is synonymous with how the controls work in those games, so you'll feel right at home.
If you're also new to this genre, the WASD layout will likely be easier to learn and master. You can always change your preferred layout by pausing the game and changing it from the settings. Your preferred choice can also sometimes depend on the Traveler you're using.

Skating-simulator Skate will be launching in early access on PC and consoles as a free-to-play title, and it could be one of the sleeper hits of September.
Revealed earlier at Gamescom 2025, the early access launch is sandwiched between the big-ticket launches of Borderlands 4 and FC 26. Despite launching in early access, the game will offer plenty of content for fans. Let's first look at when the game will go live across all platforms.
Table of contents
Skate release countdown
Skate's early access will be available on both PC and console. Most early access launches usually only arrive on PC, but developers Full Circle aim to follow a different route. While the date was announced earlier in the trailer, the countdown below will help you to keep track.
The countdown is based on the following timings.
The timing is available on the official store pages of both Xbox and PlayStation, while Steam will also give a similar estimate. There's no pre-load available, so you'll have to wait for the launch to download and try out the content.
Skate early access features
Skate will be the franchise's next chapter, where you can enjoy Flick-It controls in a physics-based skateboarding world. We will also experience the highly dynamic city of San Vansterdam, where the community will come together.
You can skate across various city locations and experience the new controls. Showing off new skills and making progress will allow you to get different rewards and display your progress to other members in the community. Players will also have the ability to create their own spots to skate with friends. Some features might not be available at launch, but trying the game out won't cost you anything.
