An upcoming Bring Arts figure of Aerith will use her design from the original Final Fantasy VII game. This figure is also available for pre-order via the North American Square Enix site.
On the Japanese Square Enix store, the Final Fantasy VII Aerith Bring Arts figure costs 13,200 JPY. It'll come out on March 28, 2026. Meanwhile, the North American version of the store lists it for $129.99, and it'll come out in June 2026. Another version of the original Aerith Bring Arts figure already came out and is available for purchase on the store. This one costs cheaper at $119.99, but unlike the new one that Square Enix announced, she's not wielding her Mythril Rod.
Like the previous Final Fantasy VII Bring Arts figures, this one will come with two face plates and multiple hand parts. While it comes with the Mythril Rod, you don't have to pose Aerith with it if you don't want to, and it counts as yet another optional part. Since it's fully-articulated, you can customize how Aerith is displayed based on your preferences or current set-up.
Final Fantasy VII Remake is available on the PS4, PS5, and Windows PC. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is on the PS5. The original game came out on the PlayStation, but it's also available on the PS4, Switch, Xbox One, Windows PC, and mobile devices.

Arc System Works shared an updated release window for the rest of the Season 4 DLC characters for the Switch version of Guilty Gear Strive, and we still need to wait about a month more for them on Nintendo's console. The last three remaining fighters will join on December 18, 2025. Queen Dizzy, who was the first person in that pass, is already available. These add-ons and the Ranked Match functionality were all supposed to appear in Fall 2025, but were pushed into Winter 2025 instead.
The three DLC characters who will all join Guilty Gear Strive: Nintendo Switch Edition on that day are Lucy, Unika, and Venom. We've had the longest wait for Venom, as he appeared on other platforms back in March 2025. Unika followed him in May 2025. Lucy, from Cyberpunk Edgerunners, is the most recent addition, as she joined the cast in August 2025. All of those are in the $24.99 season pass, though we've been able to buy them individually on other platforms already for $6.99 too.
Arc System Work's statement also hinted at why it took so long. When the new release window came up, the company noted, "additional work became necessary during the testing and verification process."
As for what's next, at Evo 2025 it seemed likeArc System Works teased Guilty Gear Strive Season 5 DLC. The trailer at the event said "2026 still blazing," and it almost looked like silhouettes for Jam Kuradoberi and Answer appeared. We'll have to wait for a confirmation soon.
Guilty Gear Strive is available for the PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the Season 4 DLC comes to the Switch on December 18, 2025.

The Back on Top quest in ARC Raiders is one of those peculiar missions where you have to travel to different regions.
To complete Back on Top, you'll have to visit specific areas across all four regions. Naturally, completing all the tasks can take a fair amount of time, and it will largely depend on where you're spawning. This guide will provide you with the key locations on all four maps where you have to visit and spray the wall.
Table of contents
ARC Raiders Back on Top quest walkthrough
The Back on Top quest can be divided into four different parts.
All four locations will have highlighted areas to spray and complete the objectives.
Pattern House location
Pattern House is located in the northern part of the map (as marked on the map above). You have to approach the wall to spray on it and complete the quest. The exact spot on the wall for this part, and for the next three, doesn't matter. Just spray, and the quest will automatically update.
You can find the Pattern House in the extreme northern part of the map, right by the Power Generation Complex. This location is also close to where you can complete the Straight Record quest.
Tower overlooking Warehouse Complex location
The location of the Lookout tower can be slightly confusing, but I have marked it on the map above. It's located south of the Warehouse complex. You'll have to approach the white-colored tower to spray and leave your mark, which will complete this task.
Be extremely careful, as this location typically hosts a Bastion. Try not to engage, mark the Tower, and get ot the next location. If you die, you'll still keep your progress (but lose your inventory).
South Trench Tower location
Located in the northern part of Spaceport, the South Trench Tower is easy to locate and hard to miss. Be at the location marked on the map, and spray any part of the building's wall to complete the quest.
You don't even have to go up to the entrance. All the applicable locations are on the ground floor.
Building with a mural in the Buried Properties location
This can be the most confusing location of the lot. You'll have to go north in the Buried Properties region to reach the position marked on the map above (just be at the spot, and you'll directly face the house with murals on its walls). You'll come across a wall with murals on it, where you'll have to spray and finish your mission.
Back on Top quest rewards in ARC Raiders
Here's the complete list of rewards you obtain by completing the Back on Top quest.
If you're looking to complete other quests from Tian Wen, Unexpected Initiatives and Industrial Espionage are good choices in terms of the rewards they offer.

The Megatech DLC is now available in Astroneer, introducing new buildings, missions, and more.
Most of the new content revolves around the Megatech missions. If you've been a regular player, chances are that you should be able to access the missions directly by installing the DLC. If you're new or starting a fresh save, here's what you have to do to gain access to the Megatech missions.
Table of contents
How to start the Megatech missions in Astroneer
The first step is to get the DLC and finish the following missions:
These are missions available in the base game. For older players, these missions should be automatically completed on their saves (unless they started a new one). If you're a beginner, I have added brief guides on completing both quests.
Unearthed quest walkthrough
You'll need two resources.
The next step is to start printing. You will first need to obtain the blueprint. Use the Large Printer to scroll down to the Extractor, and start the process. Once done, just wait for the process to complete.
Connect the Extractor to a power source, and use it to print a Resource Nugget (the recipe will be shown on the Extractor). The Unearthed quest will be automatically completed when the Resource Nugget is produced.
Forward Progress quest walkthrough
The Forward Progress quest is relatively simple, and you'll have to place a Shelter and a Landing Pad on another planet.
We already know where to find Plastic, but here's a brief explanation about how you can get the rest of the resources.
Once you craft and place the Landing Pad and Shelter on any planet apart from Sylva, it will complete the Forward Progress quest.
Do note that completing the quests mentioned above will enable you to access the starting Megatech DLC missions. There are two more branches of missions: Museum and Intermodal Terminal. Here's what you need to complete to access them.
Museum
Intermodal
