The map expansion is coming on 28th October. It's the first time the series has ventured to these latitudes, which seem a little incompatible with the European crusader premise. It also introduces Japanese language support. |

If you're out of the loop, Itch and Valve changed their rules regarding adult content in games a few months ago. That prompted a number of delistings and takedowns, as well as concerns about censorship. The storefronts pointed to pressure from credit card companies who process their purchases, with Australian protest group Collective Shout taking credit for nudging those payment processors into action. |

Hinemos has revealed that it will produce and sell sake bottles themed after several characters from Atlus' Persona 5 Royal. The company will release the bottles in December 2025 to help buyers prepare them for the holiday season.
This collaboration will feature four characters from the game, namely "Joker," Kasumi "Violet" Yoshizawa, Goro "Crow" Akechi, and Morgana "Mona." Hinemos will produce the drinks based on each character's traits as follows:
The Joker, Violet, and Crow bottles will be available for purchase individually at ¥6,600 (~$43.15) each. Hinemos will also offer an all-in-one complete set that costs ¥16,500 (~$107.90). The smaller Mona bottle will only be available by purchasing the latter.
Sake is not the only type of drink that gets a Persona 5 theme. Atlus Japan is also working with Cradri to produce craft cola syrup based on the collective Mementos. Earlier in March 2025, Atlus West and Jade City Foods released cocoa mixes inspired by the original four Phantom Thieves heroines—Ann, Makoto, Futaba, and Haru.
Pre-orders for the Persona 5 Royal-themed sake bottles will be available in limited amounts starting from October 10, 2025. Hinemos will ship the orders around early December 2025.

Keychains depicting popular PlayStation games from the PS3 and PS4 era will appear in Bandai Namco Gashapon machines in late October 2025. Each attempt will cost 300 JPY (around $2). As the company does maintain capsule machines in North America as well, we could end up seeing these worldwide eventually.
While the website and the poster don't list the dimensions for each keychain, they are pretty small. You can even open them up and take out a miniature disc. The inner jacket of each game is also faithfully depicted, though you likely won't be able to take it out and read through it. In total, there are eight possible prizes to get. Among those eight is a rare secret one.
As for the possible games you can get, there are four PS3 titles and three PS4 titles recreated as keychains. So the secret one is likely a PS4 game. You can get either the Uncharted mainline games or The Last of Us. Though these games are technically available on platforms like the PC, they're major Sony (PlayStation) exclusives that have seem booming success worldwide. It's unknown if the eighth secret keychain will be yet another game in either Naughty Dog series, or if it will be another Sony exclusive such as Infamous.
Here's a closer look at the full advertisement for the items:
This isn't Bandai Namco's first foray into creating PlayStation-themed accessories. Earlier this year, in September 2025, it announced keychains that resemble PS and PS2 consoles, controllers, and memory cards. These will come out in February 2026 (after the PS3 and PS4 keychains), and will be available in blind box format rather than in Gashapon machines, though.
The PS3 and PS4 Gashapon keychains will appear in machines around Japan some time during the fourth week of October 2025. It is unknown when they might appear worldwide.

Cover's hololive English branch is up to four generations already, with Justice featuring a number of English-speaking individuals worldwide, and Vtuber Cecilia Immergreen is among them. She celebrated her first anniversary with the company back in June 2025, and recently had her 3D debut and participated in the English's 3rd Concert, All for One. Siliconera got a chance to ask her a few questions after the event and go over things she'd accomplished in the year after her debut.
Jenni Lada: Congratulations on being with hololive as a Vtuber for a full year now! How has the first year been, and did anything really surprise you once you started streaming with the company?
Cecilia Immergreen: Thank you so much! I've been having so much fun! It's still crazy that it's been a year, it feels like Justice debuted just a month ago to be honest… Overall I've been super happy all my dreams are coming true and honestly it feels like it's just the beginning.
The amount of staff that was involved in All for One (our 3D concert) for example is just insane. And a lot of thought, effort and love gets poured into all of these things and it's really impressive to me to be honest. It makes me happy and makes me want to work harder myself too!
I also still get shocked by the fan support to be honest. Personally, my viewers (otomos!) have done so much for me when it comes to kind words, silent support or cheering for me during big and small events. It's insane to think about and I still struggle rationalising it sometimes. Tthank you, otomos!)
For your 3D stream, you actually pulled together a small hololive Vtuber orchestra for a performance. How much coordination went into this, and how did you manage to get everyone together for that?
Immergreen: I'm not much of a planner but from the moment I knew we were doing 3D, I reaaaaaally wanted a mini holo orchestra. So first I thought about anyone who plays an instrument and had no scheduling conflicts. Then we had our mismatch of instruments and then had to think about what song to do… it definitely wasn't a normal ensemble, hehe.
After a lot of thinking, I realised the first holo schoolband piece HAD to be "Shiny Smily Story," and then Jeremy Robson our composer/arranger arranged it to fit all of these different instruments and did an incredible job. There was a lot of back and forth to change keys and instrumentation to match, and then we ended up with a very cute version in my opinion.
I really want to do it again, it was so much fun playing with everyone!
As part of your 3D model debut, you ended up releasing the original song "Wind-Up." How long did it take to prepare it, since you both composed it and wrote the lyrics, and did you run into any unexpected challenges during the process?
Immergreen: Again… terrible planner so… I pitched the idea of the original song all the way at the beginning of the year but then it was just kind of sitting there.. But deadlines were coming up so I wrote the base structure in a day and just sent it.
And then a while later with the help of the incredible Aethoro (who helped produce it), I was able to finish the song and he cleaned it up. So overall it took a long time because of my lack of foresight but the actual work itself was not too bad. I definitely learned a lot from it and will go about writing a song differently if I do it again!
I think my biggest difficulty composing the song was self-doubt to be honest. I'm not a professional composer and self-taught. I basically just do it for fun. So although that was my mindset going into it, the more it came together the more I felt like it was not good enough. Especially for hololive standards. Everyone releases such amazing original music and the standard is so high. So my DIY project just didn't feel good enough you know?
But with the help of some of the other EN girls including a cute owl encouraging me and also just breaking through that weird perfectionism bubble I was in, I was able to release it in the end!
And while writing the lyrics it actually kind of became the theme of the song so it all worked out in the end. All the kind comments from my viewers have really helped it feel like a success and I think I'm a bit more confident now to tackle my next project! I'll definitely do a better job time management wise lol
Could we end up seeing you do more orchestral pieces and performances, now that "Wind-Up" released and is a success? Perhaps even some original compositions?
Immergreen: I would love to, to be honest. I've had this idea in the back of my head for a while that it would be fun to do a holo musical or just writing theme songs for some of the different girls.
There's always a lot going on so I haven't had the time to tackle it yet… but it's a dream of mine.. And I'm going to be here for a long time so I think I'll be able to do it! Maybe! Hopefully! One day! So many ideas… so little time… (a secret: there is one small thing cooking right now though so please look forward to that!)
Given how important music is to you and your performances, do you have any goals going forward involving working on theme songs or scores? Could we hear your compositions in an anime or video game?
Immergreen: One of my dreams has always been to collaborate with an indie game and create a piece for a soundtrack for it. I don't know if I have what it takes to be honest because again, I see myself as more of a beginner. But it would be incredible to one day be able to do it and maybe hear my own music in a game.
While you are known for your music abilities, we actually saw you do some art and rigging in the past! You prepared the puppet model for your birthday stream back in November 2024. What led to that decision, and could we see you prepare similar sorts of models in the future?
Immergreen: Yes absolutely! I love Live2d rigging. It's a guilty pleasure of mine. I know that it would be easier and more time efficient to hire someone but I really just love it. It's a lot of fun to make things move and see something flat 2d turn into a model/animation.
So every time there's the possibility of rigging something, I'll rig it!
For example some of my cover songs have parts in them that were rigged by me (even "Wind-Up" has like a 3 second section haha). I was also able to rig my Kimono outfit for my own body so that was really cool!
As for making new models themselves I really do want to make more small chibis and the like. And Justice is cooking something right now which might be out by the time this interview comes out! (or not and then I have spoiled it my bad guys)
You got to take part in the Hololive English latest 3rd Concert, All for One. What did preparation for that look like?
Immergreen: As I mentioned a little bit earlier, preparations were crazy! A lot of technical stuff and staff support goes into these type of things.
But from a personal standpoint I had to do a lot of dance practice! I'm still a beginner at dancing so it takes me a while to learn new choreos but that was definitely a big part of it for me.
Also learning the different songs (I struggle a lot with Japanese songs) and of course going to America itself for it.
It was a lot of fun though! Just hanging out with the other girls and learning choreos and being able to have our inputs and creative freedom when it comes to things here and there and then actually performing in front of soooo many people. It was crazy! I haven't really processed it yet!
What would you like to achieve during your second year as a Vtuber with hololive?
Immergreen: Personally, I really want to do more projects! It's hard because my biggest flaw is time management… but! I will overcome it! Hopefully!
I would like to do a quiz show for example and also that musical that I keep thinking about…
And more music is definitely something I'm working towards! Be it original songs or compositions or just taking part in more concerts!
I also want to challenge myself a bit and maybe do some things outside of my comfort zone!
But at the end of the day the most important thing for me is to have fun and create fun streams and projects that otomos enjoy as well. I'm very joy motivated lol so as long as I have fun, things will keep rolling! And we can reach new goals and dreams and wind-up high (yay!) together!
Thanks for reading my rambles and thank you for supporting me, everyone! I'll do my best this second year too!

Uninstalling 2XKO is one of the hardest things to do if you choose not to play the game for some reason.
Typically, uninstalling a game today is one of the easiest tasks (whether you're on PC or on a console). With 2XKO, the task of permanently removing the game and its files becomes hard due to Vanguard. Riot's Kernel-level anti-cheat comes with the game and prevents you from modifying its files.
Thankfully, it's actually possible to uninstall 2XKO, but the process is slightly laborious, to say the least.
How to permanently delete 2XKO from your PC
If you've tried out the early access of 2XKO and feel it's not your cup of tea, you can choose to uninstall the files. However, the task isn't simple, and you'll need to perform the following steps.
Once the Vanguard anti-cheat and Riot Games Launcher are shut down, go to Add or Remove Programs from your PC settings. Select 2XKO, and proceed to uninstall the game.
Since Vanguard is a kernel-based anti-cheat, it will start working before the OS boots up on your PC (Windows). You can't uninstall 2XKO or any other games from Riot till Vanguard is functional. Hence, you'll need to close the anti-cheat to uninstall 2XKO and the Riot Games Launcher if you have no use for it.
To turn off the Riot Games Launcher and Vanguard, you can also use the Task Manager on your PC. If you choose to play 2XKO once again, you'll need to reinstall the game and Vanguard from scratch once more.

Title Update 3, aka v1.0.4 update, is coming soon to the current-gen version of FC 26, and we have an early idea about what it could include.
Similar to the two previous title updates, the upcoming patch is likely going to have a massive impact on gameplay. While we are still awaiting the full patch notes, a part of the text has appeared for some players inside the game.
FC 26 update v1.0.4 patch notes - Title Update 3
While we will need to wait for the full patch notes, here's the information we currently have.
While I am certain that the actual patch will have more changes, two massive tweaks have already been confirmed. It's no secret that defenders with bruisers haven't been effective in the FC 26 meta so far. As a result, many players have reverted to Tactical Defending from Advanced Defending. It now appears that the present situation could have been a result of a bug, which should be fixed shortly.
As a result, expect Advanced Defending to rise in the defensive meta once again. Defenders with the playstyle could also witness a rise in their market demand.
Finesse Shots seems to have suffered from major bugs as well. I have experienced some situations when my striker would perform a Trivela in place of a Finesse Shot. The bug should be gone once patch v.1.0.4 goes live.
As of writing, we don't have confirmation about when the patch will go live. Based on past trends, it should be live sometime between Oct. 8 and Oct. 9 on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and the PS5.

I was one of the original backers of Yooka-Laylee over ten years ago when the original Kickstarter project launched, and I got to say, going from the university kid sitting in my dorm to now playing a remaster of a game I helped fund way back is a circle I never thought I'd ever step into.
Back then, I recall being somewhat disappointed with the final project. Some parts felt messy, and while it had a lot of charm and wit, I don't think it lived up to my expectations of what a Banjo-Kazooie successor would be. I thought that would be it, until I sat down to play and review its remastered version, and I have to say right now.
Yooka-Replayee is the game I wish I had gotten a decade ago. That's not to say the game is perfect, but it's still an enjoyable experience that addresses many of the issues of the original. Even if Kartos is still around and as annoying as ever.
A vastly improved experience
When you start in Yooka-Replayee, you don't start on the ship and have to make your way across. Instead, you begin in what I can only call a tutorial cave, where, after a brief introduction, you are given all of your moves from the get-go (outside of some of the bigger ones you still need to unlock down the line) and are freely set to explore. It's a far better intro than the original, and it gives you a sense of similarity to the game it was based on, with new additions that enhance the experience. Immediately, I felt things were far better than the original, and this was only the opening 20 minutes.
The world also doesn't feel as empty now. The devs have added far more collectables to find, and while you'll have an advantage if you played the last game, when it comes to finding a majority of the Ghost Writers, Pagies, and more, replaying it, you will unmistakably find yourself being amazed at some of the new secrets and trinkets to discover. It makes replaying it feel like a New Game+ with bonus content, giving you a reason to replay it to see how different some parts are if you enjoyed the original. Some sections have also been completely redone, but I won't spoil what, so you can find those secrets out for yourself.
You also do not have fast travel locations around each world, making backtracking less of a pain. There are new Rextro Arcade levels, with the originals scrapped altogether. The refined story has British tongue-in-cheek references to the fact that this is a remaster, some new plot points, and improved graphics with an orchestral soundtrack.
NPC placements are also different. Well. Some of them. Trowzer no longer gives you moves and instead appears at the start of every level, offering you the chance to trade in your Qwills you find across each world for power-ups, new costumes (oh right, you can also dress Yooka-Laylee up if you wish!), and bonuses. He doesn't give you new moves anymore; all those are unlocked at the start, and instead feels like Super Mario Odyssey's purple coin shop instead.
The game's pacing has also been significantly improved. The developers have removed the quizzes that required participation between levels, allowing you to speed through the game without being tested on your knowledge through a tedious questionnaire. Movement also feels tighter, and I felt like I had more control over the duo in this game than in the last game, and wasn't falling off needlessly or being punished for being a good player.
Numerous stellar improvements have been made, and I could go on for days, but these were the main ones I felt I needed to highlight as someone who played the original.
Not everything is perfect, though
There are some changes I found a bit questionable. For example, I know it's a pet peeve, but removing the ability to fly everywhere once you unlock the ability and turning it into a physical, timed power-up you need to find on the map is a bit of a letdown. My fondest memories of the older game were rushing to acquire the ability to fly anywhere and using it to make the game 100% easier, especially when there was a lot of backtracking. It also makes the final world even more of a hassle than it should be (if you played the original, you'll know what I'm referring to.)
I also don't like how you are given every move at the start instead of having to unlock them gradually per level. It feels a bit jarring to give everything at once, as it takes away the power-up progression of learning new moves as you go and becoming stronger, rather than being all-powerful from the start.
The game also feels easier to complete this time. You only need 120 Pagies to reach the final boss, and with 300 to find now, I was able to get near enough 100% by fully completing two levels and could have essentially skipped the other three to finish the game. You can unlock items known as Tonics that act as abilities that can then unlock things like taking Fall Damage. Still, it feels like this should have been switched around to offer more of a challenge to players, who can then turn on these Tonics to make the game easier if they want, not harder.
I also experienced crashes on the PC every couple of hours while playing the game during the review phase, and while I assume this is a part of the build, it did dampen the experience.
Closing the book
All in all, the game delivers in many ways and is probably the definitive way to play Yooka-Laylee now. While I hope the game garners some success, giving Playtonic a reason to consider an eventual sequel, it really scratches that Banjo-Kazooie itch, but doesn't always hit the mark.
Did I enjoy this game? Absolutely. However, I feel that I would have preferred to see the team create an entirely new entry in the series, rather than remake the old one. I still had a lot of fun playing this, and the improvements the team made are stellar, showing them learning from their debut title and expanding on it for new audiences. However, I couldn't help but feel that some other aspects could have been improved as well.
I do highly recommend picking up this game, though. I had a lot of fun replaying it, and if you've never played the original, you're in for a real treat here. Hopefully, this buddy duo is here to stay in the long run, and Playtonic can give us more of them in the future.

Following the borderline flawless entries of Six's story in Little Nightmares, I knew Supermassive Games would have big shoes to fill now that Tarsier Studios has moved on from this otherworldly dream. But how would the interactive horror powerhouse fare when it came to adorable miniature characters trapped in a violent, unforgiving world?
We've moved on from Six after that spectacular ending in Little Nightmare's prequel. Now, two new and equally cute characters are trapped in a fresh version of bedtime horrors, where Low and Alone must jump through mirrors and across decrepit lands with the usual cast of hostile monsters.
Little Nightmares III was high up on my list as one of my most anticipated games of 2025, and while Supermassive Games got the look just right, something was missing—the nightmare of it all.
The premise is simple: Escape
You wouldn't think Little Nightmares III was made by another developer, as I felt right at home in the immersive, atmospheric locations with fluid, linear level design. The intricate details in the gorgeous color grading, creepy sound design, effective use of lighting, and believable heroes and villains make Nowhere feel like a real place we should all fear.
Where it starts to falter is within its pacing and storytelling. Rather than the usual feeling of following both the protagonists on a precarious endeavor, where each location behaves much like an ecosystem or giant entity housing more terrifying residents within, Little Nightmares III instead plays like an arcade game. You jump from level to level, totalling four chapters that are loosely held together by a single, slowly-unravelling cutscene, the focal point you keep revisiting.
The scripted horror missed the mark this time
Priced at $39.99 and taking me roughly five hours to complete, I found myself spending most of my time searching for collectibles rather than enjoying the story. I quickly noticed a pattern in how Little Nightmares III's four chapters worked: Move from point A to B using vents and platforming, occasionally outsmart an enemy, and flee from the chapter's antagonist to conclude the section. While this is similar to what the previous titles did, the sequel's problem lies in its repetitiveness and how there's a crucial element missing: its overarching antagonist.
With no new mysterious antagonist to ponder over, it felt a little stop-start. The Lady had theories centered around the iconic Six, and the Thin Man delivered great storytelling without the need for ambiguity. They're vastly different, but each had a significant impact in the series. Yet a leading antagonist was nowhere to be seen, and was instead replaced by a main antagonist per chapter.
The perspective of Nowhere's monsters gets a bit messy, for nothing makes much sense. There's no uniform or clear aesthetic, since each monster has its own rules and design, making the band of monsters a total mismatch. Some fit, others didn't. No monster was particularly memorable, especially since you either fought off a random wave of smaller enemies or ran from the antagonist until eventually defeating them. This meant the chapters felt more like individual nightmares Low and Alone had to overcome, rather than exploring the expansive world where Six, Mono, and many other children were once held captive.
The Janitor, Chef, Hunter, Teacher, Viewers, Guests, and even the Patients immediately come to mind when I think of Little Nightmares. Yet, I don't think I'll remember anyone aside from the Kin and Supervisor, who already exist via the tabletop and audio-fiction series. The behavior of monsters mostly referenced previous titles, thereby lacking anything new to make them stand out.
Little Nightmares III wants to continuously remind you that Nowhere is a hellscape manifestation of children's biggest fears
There aren't many references to the previous games either, aside from the Nomes, televisions, paintings, and chapter-exclusive figurines. Of course, that all-seeing eye makes its return in multiple forms—which you could theorize is the overarching antagonist of this title—but that much-needed intrigue to pull you into its dream once more is weakened. This would explain why the sequel feels so different as a standalone story.
The underutilized mechanics and monsters
I strongly believe this game isn't catered to the solo experience. Rather, Little Nightmares III is a multiplayer game with a singleplayer option. Each chapter left me wanting more, and I felt unfulfilled by the ending, assuming satisfaction is only guaranteed through the Expansion Pass.
There were a lot of gaps, both in its gameplay and content. There's the shout feature that you have to use in singleplayer to get the AI to do anything, but this, alongside the throw mechanic, is used only once and to distract a monster. Most of the frustration came from the fiddly platforming, where I found myself dying way more than I should have. This obviously lowered the overall scariness of the entry, increased the frustration, and extended the time I spent on an otherwise short section because I had to wait until the game wanted me to move.
My biggest qualm with this title, however, is how there's no couch co-op. Little Nightmares II worked as a solo experience because Six followed you around. This time, both characters are equally important because of the unique tool each carries. The AI is smart enough to carry key items and to fight without being told, but this would work infinitely better in co-op. Having to run to one spot and call your companion over so they don't get hit by a monster or debris gets old very fast, whereas co-op would remove this obstacle altogether.
Little Nightmares III is worth your time if you're playing with someone
This type of horror game is the perfect place to start for gaming novices or for those who scare easily. Its immersive atmosphere is one you can quickly lose hours in, and in a strange way, you'll never want to leave, which only makes saying goodbye to Little Nightmares all the more painful. While it's a quick game to get through, this sequel expands on Little Nightmares' basic platforming gameplay. However, you shouldn't pick this entry apart for symbolism, secret lore, or make it bigger than it is.
Low and Alone's story takes place in Nowhere, and sadly, that's where the story ends up.

Lumiere's been hard at work hatching a plan to catch the Here and There spirit, and it's finally time to help him execute his plan in Disney Dreamlight Valley. You're dealing with some strange supernatural stuff here, so completing the Spirit Hunters quest is no easy task.
The Here and There spirit is wreaking havoc on the valley, so putting a stop to their chaos as soon as possible is crucial. If you're struggling to work through this mission, here's a complete quest walkthrough for Spirit Hunters in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
Table of contents
How to complete Spirit Hunters in Disney Dreamlight Valley
To complete the Spirit Hunters task, you need to investigate the Here and There spirit with Lumiere and perform a Binding Spell. This is Lumiere's toughest friendship quest, so here's a full walkthrough of all key steps to help you through it.
Meet the investigation crew in Beast's castle
First up, you need to venture to the Beast's castle to meet up with the investigation squad. You need to visit his castle in the valley, not the Realm version of it. Like all villager homes, this one can be placed anywhere, so its location varies for every player. Once you're inside the castle, talk to Lumiere and the rest of the group, including Cogsworth, Tiana, and Belle.
Meet Cogsworth in the Mystical Cave
Cogsworth felt a strange cold breeze in the Mystical Cave on Dazzle Beach, so head there next to continue the investigation. You can find the Mystical Cave near the east end of the beach, tucked into the rock wall by the ramp that leads up to the Peaceful Meadow biome.
Follow paw tracks to find the clue
Once you're inside the Mystical Cave, chat with Cogsworth, then put on the Masquerade Mask you previously acquired during the Belle, Book, and Candle quest. Follow the strange paw prints down the ramp in the cave, stopping to clear away each set of tracks you come across.
At the very bottom, you'll find a glowing Night Thorn that looks similar to the one you found during the Here, There, and Everywhere quest. Clear it away to obtain a Frozen Red Passion Lily, then bring this strange item back to Cogsworth.
Meet Tiana in the Vitalys Mines
Tiana saw some strange blue lights in the Vitalys Mines, so head to the Sunlit Plateau biome to investigate. Venture under the waterfall in this area to enter the mines. Chat with her once you're inside, then put on the Masquerade Mask to search for more clues.
Follow the glowing tracks around the right side of the waterfall until you come across a glowing Night Thorn. Remove it to recover a Frozen Thorn, then return to Tiana near the entrance to chat about what you found.
Investigate the Ice Cavern for one more clue
Belle briefly saw the Here and There Spirit inside Elsa's Ice Cavern, so venture to this location next. You can find Elsa's home near the north end of the Forest of Valor biome, nestled between two ramps leading up to the Frosted Heights biome.
Chat with Belle once you're inside, then put on the Masquerade Mask to start hunting for clues. Clear away more tracks until you find the last glowing Night Thorn, which drops a Frozen Book for you to pick up. Have a talk with Lumiere about the three strange items you found.
Investigate the secret chamber in the Frosted Heights
Venture into the secret chamber in the Frosted Heights biome to unravel more clues. This hidden area can be accessed through the glowing blue door located in the upper right corner of the snowy region. Clear away some more tracks in the chamber and pick up the Clay Paw Print near the portal. Remove the three Here and There Night Thorns that pop up, then have a chat with Lumiere about what you've learned.
Find the Book of Symbols in the Dark Castle's first-floor library
Strange symbols have appeared in the secret chamber, so you now need to find the Book of Symbols in the Dark Castle's first-floor library to decipher them. You can access the Dark Castle by heading through the purple portal by the wishing well in the Plaza.
Once you're inside, head into the Dark Castle and make an immediate left to access the library. You'll find the Book of Symbols on the ground, surrounded by bookshelves and stacks of books. Bring the book to Belle once you have it.
Gather the necessary materials for the Binding Spell
It's time to execute a Binding Spell, but before you can do so, you need to gather the right materials for it. All of the items you need to progress are as follows.
Return to the secret chamber in the Frosted Heights biome once you have everything you need. Interact with Belle to give her the items and officially get the Binding Spell cast.
Use the crystals to rotate and match the symbols on the floor
The last step of this quest is the toughest, as you now need to solve a puzzle. There are three crystals placed on podiums around the Binding Spell, and you must interact with each one to rotate and match the symbols on the floor.
Your goal is to create three perfect lines of symbols, which can be done by interacting with each of the crystals to move specific pieces around. The best way to tackle this puzzle is by familiarizing yourself with each podium, as it gets easier once you know what each one does. If you're stuck, though, here's how many times I moved each one.
As soon as the symbols are aligned, the Here and There spirit will appear. It's a strange, glowing Fox, so talk to Lumiere about what you've learned and what to do next. Talking to him officially ends this quest, so you need to keep building your friendship with him to learn more about this mysterious critter.

Pulse Combos are the training wheels of 2XKO. Just press a button over and over again, and it will let your character execute a flawless combo with a nice finisher for massive damage and instant style. While this feature makes my childhood dream of winning without knowing what I'm doing come true, it's not always good to leave it on.
To turn off Pulse Combo in 2XKO and start playing the game without this assist tool, here's what you have to do.
You don't have to press any buttons to confirm this new setting. Pulse Combo will now be inactive. Whenever you want, you can revert this by just switching it back to On.
When to turn off Pulse Combo
You should turn off Pulse Combo for better character and Super Meter control. Pulse Combos will usually spend your Super Meter if you use their finishers, which is great if you're a beginner and land that final hit, but bad if the opponent is blocking. As you learn more about 2XKO, it's best to have more agency over this resource so you don't waste it.
Turning off Pulse Combo is also good if you want to learn other complex move sequences that are impossible if it's turned on. If you find a combo that includes two light attacks in a row, for example, the Pulse Combo will almost always turn the second input into a special, which will break the chain and give you a completely different outcome.
Plus Pulse Combo only lets you use the same combos over and over again, which makes you pretty easy to counter when going against a seasoned pro. If you want to take your game to the next level, turn off Pulse Combo and go into Training to learn each champion's combos and move to improve as a player.

Belle and the Beast recover some lost memories after you purchase the Once Upon a Dance Dream Bundle in Disney Dreamlight Valley. To help them make sense of them, you must navigate through the Serenade of Memory quest.
Since this mission focuses on putting together fragments of past memories, it's a decently tricky one to work through. Tackling all quests featured in the Dream Bundle is crucial if you want to earn all available prizes, though, so here's a complete quest walkthrough for Serenade of Memory in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
Table of contents
How to complete Serenade of Memory in Disney Dreamlight Valley
To finish the Serenade of Memory quest, you need to help the Beast and Belle recreate some lost memories. There are many smaller steps along the way, so here's a full breakdown of how to tackle this process.
Serenade of Memory prerequisites in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Before you can get started on this quest, there are three key prerequisites that must be met:
If either of the Beast's or Belle's goals is unchecked, keep tackling their friendship quests and raising your friendship with them until the prerequisite is marked off. You can unlock Tiana by reading the Culinary Development letter in your mailbox.
Equip the Enchanted Evening Belle Dream Style
To officially get things started, change Belle's outfit to the Enchanted Evening Dream Style. This can be done by visiting the Collection page, selecting the Characters section, clicking on Belle under the Beauty and the Beast category, and choosing the Enchanted Evening Belle outfit.
Once Belle is dressed for the occasion, have a chat with her about the memories she's unlocked. Then, track down the Beast to see what he's recalled too. He's eager to set up something special for Belle based on his newly restored memories, and it's up to you to help.
Visit the Dreamlight Library to find the most romantic book
Your first task is to visit the Dreamlight Library to find a romantic book. The Dreamlight Library is Merlin's house, so venture to wherever you have it placed in your village. Once you're inside, turn left and look down to spot the sparkling book on the ground in the corner. Pick it up and meet up with the Beast to discuss what you found.
The book helps the Beast recall eating breakfast with Belle. There's a specific dish he wants to make, but he can only recall certain details of it, so meet up with Tiana to figure out what the right dish for the occasion is.
Cook Sweet Porridge
Tiana figures out the dish in no time, so you can finally get to cooking some Sweet Porridge. The dish you need to make requires:
Combine these three items at any cooking station to make Wheat Porridge with Fruit. Once you're done, meet up with the Beast to progress. There's just one more memory the Beast needs your help to unravel.
Craft the Beast's Bird Feeder
The last key task you need to get done is crafting the Beast's Bird Feeder. You can make this item at any crafting station by combining:
The Bird Feeder is found in the Functional Items category. After making it, chat with the Beast about what to do next. Listen in as the Beast and Belle chat about the memories, then talk to Belle to check in. As soon as you do, this mission will officially be complete.
Serenade of Memory quest rewards in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Completing the Serenade of Memory quest unlocks the Gold Enchanted Rose Tiara and Royal Bowdrop Earrings. These are just two of the many items you can unlock by tackling the missions featured in this Dream Bundle, so there's still plenty more work to be done. You also get 250 friendship points with the Beast.
If you're not sure what to work on next, you might tackle unlocking Lumiere and Cogsworth. They also have plenty of quests for you to work through, like Here, There, and Everywhere, Running Like Clockwork, and At Your Service.

Champion Tokens in 2XKO has immense value if you want to expand your roster fast, but getting them can be a hard task.
While the early access roster has plenty of options for the players to try out, it will have new additions. To play with the new characters, you'll have to first unlock them. One of the easiest ways to do so is by using Champions Tokens, and this guide will help you understand the concept better.
How to obtain Champion Tokens in 2XKO
There are different ways of obtaining the Champion Tokens in 2XKO. If you're just getting started on early access, your first job is to complete the First Steps missions. These are beginner-friendly quests that teach you about the basic concepts.
Completing them will help you get started, and you'll also be rewarded with your first Champion Token. This is the best way to get the first Champions Token as of writing on Oct. 8. The other method is to purchase the Starter Edition bundles.
The Standard Edition has 4 Champion Tokens that you will receive upon purchasing it. These tokens can then be used to unlock any champions you want (or you can save them for the future). The Deluxe Edition costs more, but offers eight Champion Tokens for you to use.
As of writing, there are five champions to unlock. If you have more Champion Tokens, you can save them for characters that will appear in the future. According to Riot, there will be a new champion released every season.
For the first three weeks, the only ways to unlock these champions are by using 1,000 KO Points or using a Champion Token. You'll also get the new champion for a season if you opt for the Ultra Battle Puss (costs 3,500 KO Points).
