Taito announced it will offer two new Cardcaptor Sakura Sanrio characters keychains that feature Sakura Kinomoto with both Cinnamoroll and Pompompurin. This will be a pouch can be used as a keychain. These will appear in mid-November 2025 in Japanese arcades. A worldwide release hasn't been confirmed.
Each of these Cardcaptor Sakura Sanrio characters keychains features the characters in what appear to be costumes from the Clear Card arc. In the case of the one with Sakura Kinomoto and Cinnamoroll, both are wearing the outfit from the "Clear" opening animation from that anime adaptation. The pouch for that one is also blue. With the one with Pompompurin, it looks like the Starry Yellow Dress costume she wore in the seventh episode with the Record card. That pouch is yellow. In both cases, Sakura has ears that resemble the Sanrio mascots'. Each one features a keyring with three clips inside the pouch, to hold more keys or charms inside.
Here's the first teaser image for this item:
A lot of merchandise for this crossover already appeared. Gashapon figures showed up, and those appeared worldwide. New plush of Sakura and Hello Kitty also appeared in October 2025.
The Cardcaptor Sakura Sanrio characters keychain pouches featuring Cinnamoroll and Pompompurin will launch in mid-November 2025 in Japan. The anime can be found on Crunchyroll, and Kodansha handles the manga.

Square Enix shared an official interview with Final Fantasy XIV Character Designer Toshiyuki Itahana to discuss Sphene, who debuted in FFXIV Dawntrail, and go over her FFIX outfits inspired by Garnet (Dagger). According to Itahana, both her first and second ones were based based on the other heroine's two looks in the older JRPG. Concept art for both designs also appeared.
While Itahana first described the theme for the original Sphene outfit in FFXIV Dawntrail as "artificial ghost," he went on to explain how both costumes were based on Garnet at different moments of FFIX. Here's the full quote discussing the inspirations for each look:
"In some respects, the first design is based on Garnet's outfit from Final Fantasy IX, such as the decorations on her chest, stomach, and back, but the second design is also based on the white-hooded outfit Garnet wore in the scene at the beginning of Final Fantasy IX when she asks Zidane to kidnap her. Garnet wore this outfit when for the first time she made her own decision to ask for help from others, and I designed this second outfit because I thought that the actions of the Sphene wearing it might be similar to the hooded Garnet's state of mind."
The official concept art for both of the FFXIV Sphene outfits can be seen below:
At the end of the interview, Toshiyuki Itahana mentioned the designs came without knowing anything about the story behind her and her FFXIV Dawntrail appearance. Itahana noted, "Although I designed Sphene, I didn't know the finished story. As such, as an FFXIV player myself, I was very excited to see how the story would turn out after the release. I was so engrossed in the story that whenever I ran into Sphene in town, I would always ask her questions in my head like 'Are you feeling okay today?' and 'Are you eating well?'"
Final Fantasy XIV and Dawntrail are available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.

Ever since Shueisha announced Weekly Young Jump manga would appear on MangaPlus, we've seen more series each week on MangaPlus and Viz, and this week there are two from Weekly Shonen Jump and Shonen Jump+. Delinquent Gacha is on MangaPlus now, and Hero Girl and Demon Lord Call It Quits is available via both MangaPlus and Viz Media. New chapters for both will appear on a weekly basis.
Delinquent Gacha is a high school style story about Sago, who attends Jikkai High. Everyone there is basically a badass who fights each other, and there are new transfers of these jerks every week. As the story starts, he and his friend Chogo are under the thumb of a bully named Breeder. They're hoping for a new "pull" who will be a transfer student that can actually beat him. When Goku Hitomi transfers in, it turns out he actually hates bullies and seems to befriends Sago and Chogo, but it seems finding a hero isn't that simple.
As for Hero Girl and Demon Lord Call It Quits, it is more of a slice-of-life series with a twist. Asuka Kagurazaka was a hero who faced a Demon Lord in Japan. However, said villain realized fighting was pointless and humanity would destroy itself, so asked if he could crash at Asuka's place in exchange for ending his crusade and seeing what human life is like, doing chores like cleaning and conjuring food in return. It turns out, she's tired of it all too. So, they agree to go about normal lives, supporting each other along the way.
At the start of November 2025, two other new Shonen Jump manga series debuted. Those are The Mage Next Door and Money Forest, and new chapters of those appear on a weekly basis as well.
Delinquent Gacha chapter 2 will appear on November 17, 2025, and chapter 2 of Hero Girl and Demon Lord Call It Quits appears on November 16, 2025.

Voltage and Amulit are working on a follow-up to Even if Tempest, a Switch otome game with two entries so far, called Sins of Kaleido. It will debut worldwide in both English and Japanese in 2026. That line of games is now being referred to as the Witch Chronicles. An official English site and social media account already open, though we won't learn more about the game until December 2025.
This installment features a new heroine and new bachelors. The previous two games focused on Anastasia and possible love interests Crius, Lucien, Tyril, Zenn, and a mysterious witch. We don't know the story for this otome game yet, but do know it takes place years after Even if Tempest in a different region. The five love interests are Eugene, Heath Crescent, Kanoa Fortis, Orsem Helhand, and Tilkett Halmshaw, with Tilkett being the one showing up in official art with the new heroine. The tagline on the key art stated, "Hearts, sins, despair… gather them all."
You can see the first teaser trailer, which highlights some of the new bachelors and their voice actors:
And here's the key art:
The previous two Voltage otome games in this line are Even if Tempest and Even if Tempest: Dawning Connections.

On November 8, 2025, the YouTube channel for Hololive ID Vtuber Ayunda Risu was hacked by a crypto account and, following its recovery, was removed on November 10, 2025. Risu noted on social media that Cover is aware of the situation and working to get it reinstated. We don't know when it will return.
On November 8, 2025, after the Ayunda Risu YouTube Channel was hacked, a video for Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy company called "Bitcoin Crash Explained! Massive BTC Dump & What's Next for Crypto" appeared on in the Live section on the channel for the Hololive Vtuber. You can see the screenshot of it on the official subreddit, where Pixel_Pastiche captured the moment.
Cover quickly acted, and later that day the first statement appeared on Risu's social media.
Ayunda Risu then poked fun at the crypto hack situation with a Nut Coin "conference" stream, complete with image that showed the Hololive Vtuber with the same sort of teaser image as the Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy one. While she was able to hold that stream and did create and announce a Monday Morning Malas one, she later confirmed her channel was removed as a result of the situation.
Here's that latest statement.
This isn't the first time a crypto hack hit a Hololive Vtuber YouTube account. EN branch member Ouro Kronii was the victim of one in January 2025. Like Risu, she later joked about the situation once her channel was recovered with $KRONII.
Hololive Vtuber Ayunda Risu's YouTube channel is temporarily unavailable, and further updates will be available on social media. She's been with the company since April 2020.

Sony announced a PlayStation State of Play Japan showcase will go over new PS5 games, and perhaps even potentially some PS4 ones, on November 11, 2025. It starts at 2pm PT/5pm ET/11pm CET. If someone is actually in Japan, they can watch it starting at 7am JST on November 12, 2025. It will be on both the English and Japanese YouTube channels in the "live" sections tomorrow.
While we know PS5 games will be at State of Play Japan, we aren't sure if there will be Japanese PS4 or VR games heading worldwide during the presentation Yet. We do know that it will last about 40 minutes, which isn't unusual for these showcases. Also, while this is going to prioritize titles developed in Japan, there could also be ones from other countries in Asia like China, South Korea, and Indonesia.
Sony also announced the host of this presentation. It is Yuji Kaji, a voice actor known for roles in Final Fantasy, My Hero Academia, Shin Megami Tensei, and Ys. He played Hope Estheim in the FFXIII trilogy, which is also experiencing a crossover in FFVII Ever Crisis right now. He's Adol Christin in most of the recent Ys games. He plays Shoto Todoroki in My Hero Academia, and there's a new game called My Hero Academia: All's Justice coming out in early 2026. Finally, one of his most recent SMT appearances was in SMT IV: Apocalypse as Flynn.
The State of Play Japan will take place at 2pm PT/5pm ET/11pm CET on November 11, 2025.

The Digging up Dirt quest in ARC Raiders is a relatively straightforward one, but the full version of the game has a twist.
This quest begins once you obtain it from Celeste. The gist of the quest requires you to find a dead drop in a specific location. Accessing this location used to be significantly easier during betas compared to the full version of the game. However, this guide will help you to finish the job at hand without any problem.

ARC Raiders Digging up Dirt quest walkthrough
The Digging up Dirt quest can be broken down into the following parts.
The Santa Maria Houses can be found in the Old Town region of Buried City. I have marked the location of the spot where you have to reach. During the earlier tech tests, there was a window that led us directly to the dead drop.
Now, that route is no longer available. Instead, you'll want to reach the location I have marked. To reach there, use the ledge I have marked on the screenshot (small red arrow). This will allow you to jump onto the roof with an open latch.
Get down through the opening, and use the zipline in front of you. This will help you reach the courtyard. Go close to the dead drop to complete the quest. You can then breach the window to your left to escape. Going close to the dead drop will allow you to search it for any clues (a must for completing the quest). How you escape the location from there is up to you, and successful extraction isn't necessary.
Speak with Celeste when you're back in Speranza to complete the quest.

With only one place to go in Amanda the Adventurer 3, Riley descends into Hameln's facility, located directly underneath the Kensdale Public Library. Why Kate Park (Riley's aunt) had a secret hatch that led straight here—I don't know—but we're on the home stretch to finding Rebecca Colton.
While I still have questions regarding Hameln's true intentions, many Amanda the Adventurer mysteries are now answered, with theories both confirmed and denied. So, let's get into everything we learned from playing Amanda the Adventurer 3.
Warning for spoilers throughout.
Table of contents
Amanda the Adventurer 3 story, explained
Prologue
Amanda the Adventurer 3 takes a surprising turn as we move away from Riley in the prologue. Taking place 10 years prior to Riley's story, we follow a nameless intruder breaking into Hameln's maximum security facility. After randomly stumbling upon a Level 4 Clearance Access Card, he discovers the pod room. This room houses eight pods, each holding a "subject" inside. It's unknown whether more of these exist as the facility has multiple floors, accessible via the elevator, which is separate to the hatch Riley used to reach Hameln at the end of Amanda the Adventurer 2.
The pods are clearly active, with levers lining the walls, and a control room used to create backups. It seems this room is used to make copies of Amanda the Adventurer show, which in theory would replicate Rebecca's mind over and over again, spreading her soul across tapes. Strangely, there are more googly eyes than ever (presumably captured children) in these older recordings of the show.
I believe the unnamed protagonist here is David, a member of Kate's group who went missing during their investigation into Hameln Entertainment. The group started looking into Hameln in 2003 and had their last meeting in 2017. As the series takes place in 2023, this would place the prologue's event in 2013. If correct, David's disappearance is explained inside the prologue, where he was shot three times by Hameln Happiness Protectors.
The prologue happened 10 years after the Colton Anomaly incident. This incident inspired Hameln to create Shepherd in October 2003, where details were mentioned on the monitors during Amanda's scavenger hunt in the prologue. We can then assume Hameln vanished because of the Anomaly, who injured and killed staff whenever Amanda felt threatened. Hameln tried to contain Shepherd near Kensdale water treatment infrastructure, but he escaped and must be the reason for Kate's car crash.
Subjects
We re-join Riley exploring the facility, finding the same pods from the prologue. Solving Amanda's usual puzzles and finding those mysterious secret tapes, we uncover the cult-y underbelly of Hameln. Wanting to go back to Darkness, Hameln called themselves the Curtain. They wanted to unlock the powers of the Unseen, using the innocent, malleable, and susceptible minds of children to harbor entities within their thoughts so the Curtain may safely guide them into reality.
The facility captured children and called them subjects. A child would initially be kept in rooms, where we can see drawings sprawled across the office cubicles and plushies atop employee desks. Hameln attached personality traits to each subject to help them determine whether one was easier to control than others. While I strongly believe two of these subjects were Lauren Matthews (disappeared 6/12/03, I also believe this is subject XF582KB-02) and Karla Aldeli (disappeared 11/04/02), the pod with an error message on it has to be Jordan Cook, Joanne's younger brother. He went missing two years prior to Kate's investigation, likely placing his disappearance in 2002.
It's a wonder how Jordan had a physical form in the tapes as he wasn't around prior to Riley's Kensdale Public Library visit (and neither Amanda or Wooly recognize him). Perhaps Jordan appeared because his sister was near, or maybe he only features on the tapes closest to Hameln's facility. The awful truth is Jordan was likely XF582KB-01, a subject trapped inside a pod which Shepherd came in and destroyed. Now all googly eyes in the show are vacant, lifeless, and unmoving, no longer breathing and reacting to Amanda and Wooly's words.
A small piece of lore that ties the games together is by finding Sam Colton's room. You can open it using the authorization code that was on a secret tape from Amanda the Adventurer 2. This tape shows Sam being recorded and forced to read off a script that Hameln created to trick Rebecca into thinking she's safe and to explain why her father isn't around anymore. The script, camcorder, and purple elephant plushie are inside this room, confirming this is where Sam was held captive. This goes hand-in-hand with the first tape in this game, where Sam escaped to find Rebecca, resulting in the Colton Anomaly.
The Anomaly incident occurred on April 8, 2003. Sam Colton used the authorization code of an employee to escape his room in the facility. He attempted to rescue Rebecca but the bond between herself and the Anomaly was too strong. Sam's interference caused tremors, followed by the Anomaly's first appearance. Sam suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene. Hameln believed an energy surge from Rebecca's neuropsychic system (the link between brain and nervous system) created the Anomaly. Instead of containing the Anomaly, Hameln prioritized keeping the Colton Asset (Rebecca) contained through Shepherd.
Shepherd
A huge part of Amanda the Adventurer 3's story is learning who Wooly is. We finally get the reveal and I couldn't have been more wrong. Wooly is a Hameln employee called Marcus Moutman. A devoted employee who transferred to Hameln's Pneumatransference Department, Marcus spent 19 years keeping Amanda contained. Hameln theorized that the destruction of the tapes would be needed to regain control over the Anomaly and to sever the connection between it and the Colton Asset (Rebecca).
But Hameln didn't foresee how the Anomaly would become a part of Rebecca. Hameln replicated the Anomaly successfully with the Shepherd program, where Marcus became Wooly with the singular goal to destroy any tape that had Amanda on it. No longer recognizing himself, Marcus would come to hate his ghoulish reflection as he was left behind by the company to do the Curtain's bidding forever.
Shepherd became just as much as a problem as the Anomaly, both being incredibly aggressive and dangerous. While Marcus was sent in to control Amanda as Hameln worked towards destroying the tapes, it would soon backfire as time went on, for Amanda had to keep Wooly calm so Shepherd didn't harm others.
Memories
The main goal in Amanda the Adventurer 3 is to help Rebecca regain her memories, to restore who she was. This is the exact opposite of what Wooly and Hameln wanted, choosing instead to destroy all tapes while keeping Rebecca confined. The destruction of all tapes wasn't feasible for years because Kate made her own recordings. It's only when Rebecca remembers her father and her best friend that Wooly's grip begins to loosen.
Having forgotten himself after the years of being Hameln's puppet, Wooly loses control and erases everything that made him Marcus. Marcus Moutman is gone, leaving the uncontrollable and vengeful Shepherd behind.
Amanda the Adventurer 3 endings, explained
Default ending
By restoring Rebecca's memory, Amanda brings Riley directly to her chamber to free Rebecca. Sigils are sprawled across her pod, the same markings we saw inside the Chapel. Rebecca is saved, but it's too late for Marcus. Having failed his mission, Shepherd enters the room to take Rebecca out once and for all. But the Anomaly appears and battled with Shepherd. Both fall (presumably to their death) as Rebecca tells us she'll never be whole again.
True ending
The only difference in this ending is to find all four secret tapes. This alters the last cutscene where Riley rescues Rebecca. Rather than a dramatic showdown between Anomaly and Shepherd, the Anomaly enters the room covered in blood and has lost an arm. The Shepherd is nowhere to be seen. Rebecca takes the final tape off Riley and snaps it in half, sending the Anomaly back to whatever dimension it came from. Rebecca is whole again and the Anomaly surely returned to its true form, no longer affected by Rebecca's consciousness.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's new 32-player co-op mode Endgame sounds like something truly unique to the franchise.
When you finish BO7's regular story campaign, you gain access to Endgame, where you can queue up with friends or drop in solo to the Avalon map where enemies and XP await you. In this new experience, players can rank up weapons and camos while fighting PvE enemies, but leveling up your operator's Combat Rating means you can eventually tackle the map's higher-difficulty areas. But be careful, because if you die, your Combat Rating and inventory resets back to zero.
To help you along the way in Endgame are Abilities and Skills you can unlock and rank up to give you the edge, and they sound crucial. Here's everything we know so far about how they work in Endgame.

All Abilities in BO7 Endgame
When you select an operator to play as in Endgame, you can equip them with a loadout (weapons, etc.), but you must then make a choice between the following for your Major and Minor Ability to bring with you.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is now just days away, and Activision is only just now revealing some more information about the franchise's newest addition.
Unlocked once the main campaign is finished, Endgame is a co-op PvE mode for up to 32 players based on a large map called Avalon, which will be familiar to anyone who played Black Ops 6's campaign. The Mediterranean-inspired locale will play home to something new for CoD, as Activision highlighted today in a new blog post.
In Endgame, players pick a loadout and then deploy into the map, which is split into danger zones with difficulties ranging from levels one to four, with enemy difficulty increasing as the zones change, similarly to Modern Warfare III's MWZ zombies mode.
Players can equip one Major and one Minor ability before dropping in, ranging from an Active Camo for invisibility to a Grappling Hook that allows you to reach higher levels. But the catch here is that if you die with your operator in Endgame, your progress is lost. You need to kill enemies and complete tasks, level up, and exfil before dying, and then drop back in with your level (Combat Rating) to reach the higher difficulty areas and find whatever lies within as the challenge increases.
"Gain power in a match by completing objectives, uncovering intel, and defeating enemies to raise your operator's Combat Rating and unlock Skills that amplify your combat effectiveness," Activision explained, highlighting skill tracks that will allow you to increase and focus your abilities further. But again, if that operator dies, you start from scratch.
"Time is of the essence in Endgame matches," Activision said. "Before the match timer runs out, operators must seek out a friendly VTOL exfil. Get to a pick-up zone, clear the landing area, and get out. A successful exfil lets you keep your current Loadout and Combat Rating. Make sure you get out every time, so you can push into harder locations and reap the greater rewards that await you."
This makes Endgame sound a bit like a hybrid between an extraction mode (like CoD DMZ or ARC Raiders, for example) and a roguelike game where each time you deploy, you fight different mobs and complete different objectives to level up and try and reach an overall goal.
It's hard to tell what Endgame's potential is in the long run without playing it first, but it does sound like something new and interesting for players to sink their teeth into when BO7 launches this Friday, Nov. 14.

The Spaceport Warehouse key can be immensely valuable in finding different loot in ARC Raiders, and this guide will increase your chance of finding the key.
The Spaceport Warehouse key is not part of any quest, so you can only obtain it from the wild based on random spawns. While you can find keys from residential areas, certain spots on the Dam Battlegrounds map will have higher chances.
Table of contents
How to get the Spaceport Warehouse key in ARC Raiders
The Spaceport Warehouse key in ARC Raiders can spawn in any residential area. However, the Ruby Residence is a great spot to get keys.
The containers inside the building typically have plenty of key spawns, including the one required to open the Warehouse in Spaceport.
Another great location to hit is the Research and Administration Building. I have marked both locations in the screenshot above to help you get there easily. Check out as many containers as you can and hope to get lucky if you want to get the Spaceport Warehouse key.
As an additional note, try to go through the containers available in residential areas of as many maps as possible.
Where to use the Spaceport Warehouse key in ARC Raiders
Once you have found the required item, you'll need to head over to the Warehouse in the Spaceport map. I have marked its location for you to find the spot easily on your adventures. Go through the main entrance, and get on a set of stairs that lead to the upper floor.
Follow the corridor from the stairs, and you'll ultimately hit the Spaceport Warehouse key. I personally took the stairs on the right from the main entrance, since it's quicker to reach the room that requires the key. Once you reach the door, use the key to unlock it and grab everything that you can from the room to add to your inventory.

ARC Raiders surged in popularity once again in its second weekend over the past few days, and Embark Studios confirmed the game's new high player count because of it.
There seems to have been a steady flow of new players into the game since it launched on Oct. 30, and the momentum continued last week, likely via word of mouth and positive reviews praising it as the next great PvPvE experience.
"It's been a little over one week since we opened up the tunnels for you to head Topside, and this past weekend we reached over 700,000 concurrent Raiders on the surface!" Embark announced on the ARC Raiders Discord today. "We're so happy to have you all here!"
This is the total number of players online at peak concurrents over the weekend, combining PC, PlayStation, and Xbox players altogether. However, Steam's player count peaked at over 462,000 alone, meaning around 240,000 players were queuing up on both consoles combined by comparison.
That's a whole lot of mouse-and-keyboard gamers going Topside, which I guess makes sense because the extraction shooter genre feels rooted and more related to PC than consoles. But still, about two-thirds of the max concurrents being on PC feels like a lot. I'm curious to see if the game gains more traction on consoles, and what sales on PS5 and Xbox look like versus Steam.
Either way, ARC Raiders is off to a large amount of success, both commercially and critically. With updates lined up throughout the end of the year and likely many more to come, this could become a mainstay title on Steam's charts.
"The many different ways you play and participate in ARC Raiders have completely blown us away, going far beyond what we ever imagined," Embark said. "You surprise us, you outsmart us, and you keep us on our toes. We wouldn't have it any other way. The point being, you all push us to be better, and we're truly grateful to have you along for this journey."

It's the season of love, baby. Marvel Rivals is ratcheting up the hype with a pair of lovers joining the roster as part of season five this month.
The new confirmation for season five finally dropped today and confirmed X-Men and on-again-off-again lovers Gambit and Rogue as the game's latest heroes. And it appears the seasonal storyline is advancing along with them.
NetEase Games just dropped this teaser image for season five, and it's a cute little wedding invitation for the pair of lovers. The studio previously teased Gambit and Rogue in the background of recent patch notes, whether inadvertently or not, so it's good to finally get the confirmation.
"Gambit and Rogue are tying the knot—a duo defined by danger, devotion, and unstoppable chemistry," the dev said. "When love meets power, the world takes notice. Tomorrow, the story takes center stage, and we warmly invite you to join us in celebrating this special day!"
A story trailer tomorrow will likely be followed by gameplay reveals and information about the new season, including exclusive footage from streamers partnered with Marvel Rivals ahead of the new launch this weekend.
It's unclear what roles the new heroes will play, but leaks point to Gambit being a Duelist while Rogue has been speculated as either a Vanguard or a Strategist. Either way, we will know more in the coming days.
Rogue's ability to sap the energy, abilities, memories, and more from anyone by physically touching them could make for some unique playstyles, while Gambit will likely use his bo staff to fight up close and charged-up playing cards to deal damage from afar.
Marvel Rivals season five begins on Nov. 14, so lock in.
