The Pokemon Center now sells a new Geodude plush capable of transforming into Graveler, which can then evolve into Golem. It costs $89.99. This comes two months after the stuffed animal appeared as part of the Cave Dweller line of merchandise in Japan back in May 2025.
The nature of the toy is rather self-explanatory. It's designed in such a way that you can fold the plush Geodude in on itself to "evolve" it into the Pokemon Graveler. Then once it is in that form, it can be readjusted again to transform into Golem. Once you have the Golem stuffed animal in front of you, you can then turn it back into a Geodude.
Here are some photos shared on the Pokemon Center that offer a closer look. Zippers are used to ensure the plush remains in whatever stage of its lifespan it is in when you choose to display it. One photo also showed what it looks like when completely pulled out, so you can see how all three of the different forms are connected.
The last additions to the storefront involved some other characters. New Pikachu and Torchic Squishmallow pre-orders opened. There were also life-sized Eeveelutions.
The Pokemon Center Geodude, Graveler, and Golem "evolvining" plush is available now.

Bandai Namco announced it is teaming up with Nintendo to bring back The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild keychains. They first appeared in gashapon machines in Japan in October 2023, and now they'll be back in capsule machines the first week of July 2025 in the country.
The price for a try remains the same. It costs 300円 (~$2) again. The lineup remains identical too. Two of the keychains are chibi versions of Link equipped with. bow and arrow, though in one instance he's wearing his cloak. The Master Sword will appear as one item, and so will the "Z" from the logo with the Master Sword going through it. The final design is a more traditional take on Link armed with the bow and arrow with standard proportions, though it only involves a silhouette. Of those five, only the Master Sword in the stone isn't a keychain.
Here's a closer look at each one of them:
At the time they originally debuted, these The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild keychains only appeared in Japan. However, Bandai Namco now has Gashapon storefront locations in the US and Canada too. This means we could end up seeing them worldwide. The past Pikmin gashapon line appeared in capsule machines in Illinois, as an example.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild keychains debut in Japan this week. The game is available on the Wii U and Switch, with an upgrade available for Switch 2.

The Last of Us creator Neil Druckmann announced today that he won't be involved with the show's upcoming third season, and that's probably bad news for the live screen adaptation.
Druckmann has only contributed as a writer for five of the 16 episodes of the show so far (he's directed two of them), but I can only feel like his guidance will be missed, considering he's the writer behind both TLOU video games. He knows these characters better than anybody, for better or worse, and losing his influence will assumedly leave showrunner Craig Mazin in control as the main writer, and that's a bit scary.
"I've made the difficult decision to step away from my creative involvement in The Last of Us on HBO," Druckmann said in a statement. "With work completed on season two and before any meaningful work starts on season three, now is the right time for me to transition my complete focus to Naughty Dog and its future projects, including writing and directing our exciting next game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, along with my responsibilities as studio head and head of creative."
Ellie was written poorly in season two, especially when it comes to public perception by the fans of the game. Players who fell in love with the character from the game don't see much of her in season two, which was a continuation of similar issues in season one. How much of that was Mazin's fault? How much of it was due to poor direction, or the actor's performance? Only those behind the scenes can know the full details, but I feel like those hoping Druckmann's departure will be a good thing may end up led astray by their optimism.
"Co-creating the show has been a career highlight," Druckmann continued. "It's been an honor to work alongside Craig Mazin to executive produce, direct, and write on the last two seasons. I'm deeply thankful for the thoughtful approach and dedication the talented cast and crew took to adapting TLOU Part I and the continued adaptation of TLOU Part II."
That adaptation has been called into question, as many have spoken out against Ellie's portrayal in season two, calling it a mischaracterization of the Ellie we know and love from the game. Frankly, I'm inclined to agree. It seems as though Mazin had a lot to do with that as he wrote or co-wrote every episode of the season. Without Druckmann to help steer the ship now, I am very worried for season three.
Adaptations of books, video games, or any other medium into another one is always tricky. It can't be a one-to-one recreation, and liberties must be taken, but the essence of the source material must be maintained. A lot of Ellie's actions and dialogue betrayed what many loved about the character.
Season three will pick up where two ended, going back to the beginning of Seattle Day One with Abby now becoming the focal point, which is the same way the TLOU Part II handled the story's events. With Mazin at the helm, one can only wonder how these beloved characters might now end up without Druckmann there to inform decisions.
I'm not convinced, nor am I thrilled about its prospects without Druckmann's involvement. But hey, maybe Mazin's full spin on things will improve on the game's events or just translate better to a TV series without the video game writer involved.
Regardless, we won't know how the show ends up for another few years. Season three likely won't release until some time in 2026, at the earliest.

Marvel Rivals season three patch notes
Here's a full breakdown of everything we know about season three so far. As new details are shared, we'll add them here, so you can check back to stay up to date with all of the latest patch notes information.
New hero: Phoenix
Phoenix is soaring onto the battlefield as a ranged Duelist with a fiery new skillset. She wields the immense power of the Phoenix Force, has a unique chain reaction mechanic, clears away enemy summons, and much more.
Season 3 battle pass - New costumes
While the full contents of the battle pass for season three will be revealed soon, the Dev Visions video teased the battle pass screen with Venomized/Symbiote skins for Rocket Raccoon, Jeff the Landshark, and Squirrel Girl, along with a Phoenix Force skin for Emma Frost.
Several other new skins were teased, like Knullified Hela, Blade's half symbiote/half Phoenix Force skin, along with Phoenix Force skins for Magik and Wolverine, but it's unknown if those will be in the pass or found in the shop.
New Team-Ups
Two new Team-Ups are being added to the available collaborations you can use. These Team-Ups are:
Team-Up changes
There are also some adjustments to existing Team-Ups. Hela is joining in on the Symbotite Shenanigans with Venom and Jeff the Land Shark. Squirrel Girl is aligning herself with Ultron and Iron Man in Stark Protocol.
Storming Ignition, with Storm and Human Torch, and ESU Alumnus, with Squirrel Girl and Spider-Man, will be retired in season three as most of these heroes move on to fresh Team-Ups. The Guardian Revival Team-Up will remain, but it's being slightly nerfed.
New map: Klyntar
A fresh battleground is emerging in season three. This map is Klyntar: Celestial Husk, a new location that has similar Symbiote vibes to the already existing Klyntar: Symbiotic Surface map.
Buffs and nerfs
As all seasons do, this one is bringing an array of buffs and nerfs for certain characters the devs feel need an adjustment. All of the nerfs and buffs that have been shared are as follows.
Nerfs
Buffs
Hero accessories
A new form of customization called hero accessories will become available with the launch of this season. Hero accessories are small items that attach to characters, similar to keychains.
The first batch of them has accessories for Psylocke, Winter Soldier, Jeff the Land Shark, Groot, Rocket Raccoon, Invisible Woman, Emma Frost, and Spider-Man. Points to acquire these items are earned by playing Quick Match and Competitive rounds.
Ultimate VFX
Some outfits will offer a new type of customization called Ultimate VFX after this update. As the name hints, this will unlock special new visuals for your abilities in combat. These changes will only be visible to you to maintain clarity on the battlefield.
More in 3.5
When the first half of season three ends, season 3.5 will bring even more content to Marvel Rivals. Some of the exciting additions have already been teased, including Blade's highly anticipated arrival and new Team-Ups.
We'll learn more about this update as soon as the official patch notes go live. When they do, we'll update with all other key features coming to Marvel Rivals here.
This article will be updated with more information when it becomes available.

There is more than one way to change the way Strikers work in Mecha Break, and you can do so with the help of mods.
If you're unhappy with how your mechs work, you can change that with the help of different stat modifiers. These modifiers are altered depending on the mods that you use, and there are plenty of options available at launch.
Table of contents
How to use mods in Mecha Break?
Let's first look at how to use mods in Mecha Break. From the Operation Storm menu, go to the Mods tab. This will show you a list of all available mods applicable to your chosen Striker. You can then apply and make any necessary changes. Once you use a mod, you can check the adjusted in-game stats on the right-hand side of your screen.
You can equip up to three mods for each body part of your mech. Mods come in five different types: Corixium Cascade Engine, Carbotanium Skeleton, Propulsion System, Corixium Muscle, and Mindbridge Cockpit. Every mod raises the value of specific stats and nerfs another. Hence, you'll need to find the sweet spot to ensure that your mech performs as per expectations.
While mods have four different rarities, don't sleep on the Fine and Superb variants. The effects of all mods are restricted to the Mashmak mode.

The Xbox layoffs of July 2 have hit like a truck. At least a couple of games have been cancelled, along with a vast number of people sadly losing their jobs.
Most of the news related to the latest round of layoffs has come from social media. There hasn't been an official press release as of writing, so it's hard to gauge the exact fallout. It's really sad that a lot of hard-working people have lost their jobs across multiple departments, and certain projects will no longer see the light of day.
All cancelled games from the July 2 Xbox layoffs
The news about games being cancelled also comes from social media sources. Neither Microsoft nor Xbox has held a public press briefing, but the cancellation of at least three games has now been confirmed.
Everwild, which Rare Studios was developing, is now cancelled. The game has reportedly been in development since at least 2019, when it was first revealed. It has been a long time since there has been any substantial news about the game or its potential release. This could suggest that the development cycle had faced plenty of hardships already, and the latest round of layoffs might have been the final nail in the coffin.
Project Blackbird, which has been under development since 2018, has also been officially cancelled by Zenimax. We have no idea what the actual name for the game would have been, had it been released in the future. There are no such chances, and it's unlikely that the project or the IP would be revived again. Other in-development projects at Zenimax might have also been affected.
The latest news also hints at the cancellation of Perfect Dark and The Initiative.
There are also news that the subsidiaries of Xbox have been hit hard. This includes big names like Raven Studios and Turn 10, as the latter has reportedly lost nearly half of its staff.
The only official words during this entire saga have been from Phil Spencer, who sent an official memo to employees at Xbox. The full-scale fallout of today's layoffs is yet to be fully realized, and there might be more news of game cancellations coming our way.
