Kotaku Saturday, April 19, 2025 9:00 AM ![]() This week, Nintendo held a Direct dedicated to Mario Kart World and while it was only 15 minutes long, it gave us a better idea of what to expect from the game's open-world exploration and its competitive offerings, while also showing off some new playable characters and some of the stylish outfits you'll be able to… |
PCGamesN Saturday, April 19, 2025 12:29 PM ![]() Monster Hunter Wilds has a cheater problem. Now that Capcom has launched Title Update 1, some players are altering files to put themselves at the top of leaderboards or massively inflate the rewards you can obtain from quests, and it's making the game harder for everyone. Luckily for us, however, Capcom is quick on the draw and already advising you how to get around playing with cheaters, but these data modified quests are proving to be a major issue.

PCGamesN Saturday, April 19, 2025 11:04 AM ![]() If you've been sitting on the fence with regards to playing Skull and Bones, now's the perfect time to try it. Not only has Ubisoft outlined colossal Year 2 plans that aim to completely revitalize the ailing pirate game, but the developer is even running a free weekend right now, too. With Assassin's Creed Shadows hopefully marking Ubisoft's new string of successes, Skull and Bones looks like it could follow suit. Besides, I can never argue with the chance to play a videogame for free. MORE FROM PCGAMESN: Skull and Bones review, Best pirate games, Skull and Bones system requirements |
PCGamesN Saturday, April 19, 2025 11:00 AM ![]() I love a themed gaming PC build, because nailing the brief can be tricky, but when it's done right, it can often look incredible. Thankfully, this The Last of Us build manages to hit the spot, turning an otherwise standard Hyte Y70 Touch PC case into a design that immediately invokes all of the apocalyptic energy of the iconic game series, with powerful specs underpinning it, too. This gaming PC build is a showstopper, but it hasn't reinvented the wheel with DIY components. The Hyte Y70 Touch case that it uses is a fantastic choice for this build, especially as its our best PC case recommendation, with its 4K touchscreen utilized perfectly to showcase some familiar scenery from one of the games. Meanwhile, the best parts from AMD and Nvidia leave plenty of juice for high-end gameplay.

PCGamesN Saturday, April 19, 2025 9:33 AM ![]() Destruction has always set Battlefield apart from the competition. Whether it's skyscrapers tumbling from up above, house walls being obliterated, or gigantic zeppelins scattered across the front line, your ability to quite literally level the playing field is core to the multiplayer game's experience. This is why destruction is a key part of EA's ongoing testing for the next game in the series, and a new update from the team shows how the mechanic is being evolved for the future.

PCGamesN Saturday, April 19, 2025 8:00 AM ![]() I wanted to love Baldur's Gate 3's multiplayer. In theory, there's nothing better than cozying up with your partner after a week at work, creating yet another wood elf, and diving back into Larian's sprawling interpretation of Faerûn. But, at times, BG3 can be anything but relaxing - fights can last up to an hour, and a single misstep may spell disaster. While I love and laud its complexity, sometimes you want a simpler fantasy romp that still scratches that DnD itch. Dreamhaven's upcoming RPG, Sunderfolk, does just that.

The sci-fi extraction shooter is due out later this year, but some players are about to get a slice of the experience ahead of time. If you were one of the many who wasn't picked by Bungie to participate you don't need to worry, as you'll still see plenty new gameplay over the coming weeks. If this tells me anything, it's that Bungie is very confident in what we're about to see. MORE FROM PCGAMESN: Best FPS games , Marathon release date speculation, All Destiny 2 news |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Saturday, April 19, 2025 1:58 PM ![]() Look, here's the thing. I'm no narc, but when it comes to online games, you probably shouldn't cheat. Do what you want in single-player games! But in the multiplayer space you're there to have a nice time with everybody, you know? And as it turns out in the case of Monster Hunter Wilds, things can end pretty badly for you (I promise this isn't a Mafia-style threat). The official Monster Hunter Twitter account shared a post yesterday announcing that Capcom have "confirmed the unauthorized modification of game data in Monster Hunter Wilds for High Rank environment Investigations, Field Surveys, and more." |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Saturday, April 19, 2025 1:14 PM ![]() It's Star Wars Celebration right now, which as I gather is about celebrating giant balls of gas fighting one another. Sorry, I'm being told that it's actually about some multimedia franchise that has so much going on it's impossible to keep track of? Doesn't sound right to me, but I'll have to trust it. Arguably the biggest Star Warsy game announcement of the weekend is the first trailer for the Star Wars meets XCOM game Star Wars Zero Company, but it wasn't the only one. Turns out last year's Star Wars Outlaws' second story pack got a reveal too, and a release date to boot. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Saturday, April 19, 2025 12:07 PM ![]() We've all known it's coming for a long while now, three years in fact, but Star Wars Zero Company got a proper reveal today. In case you aren't sure which one this was meant to be, it's the strategy one from Respawn and Bit Reactor, led by former XCOM devs. For the most part the announcement trailer is just a CGI cutscene, you've been round this rodeo before, you know how these things go. Though, it does end with a smidge of gameplay and yeah, it really does just look like Star Wars by way of XCOM, which is likely to be an instant winner. |

Back at CES 2025, HoYoVerse and UGREEN announced a line of Genshin Impact accessories with Kinich as the "star." Now that those are widely available, they all feel like a collection that makes sense. The items are all practical and can be used in a variety of ways on a daily basis. They're reasonably priced given what they are, ranging from $6.99 for a cable to $69.99 on sale for a powerbank. However, thanks to the color schemes, art direction, and in one case animations, there's also an element of whimsy.
First, all of the UGREEN items in the Genshin Impact crossover collection are generally quality items that work incredibly well. I've taken the UGREEN Nexode Powerbank on three trips so far, two involving flights to locations. In one case I flew out one afternoon, spent a full day in a place for work, and flew back the following morning. I ended up getting my phone charged twice while working and recording with it, topping off my iPad while waiting for a delayed flight, and charging a Playdate without needing to charge the powerbank itself.
The Nexode Charger ended up being even more practical and useful, given I'd been relying on some Five Below and Dollar Tree plugs to help with my Fitbit and other devices. I noticed a marked difference in charging time when using it. Also, it doesn't get scalding hot in the same way those did and allowed me to have multiple devices plugged in at once, instead of having two in different outlets in different rooms.
Also, as my MacBook Air's cable was fraying after using it for a few years, the UGREEN USB-C to USB-C 100W cable ended up being a perfect replacement for the stock one. It's covered in fabric to protect the cord. I wish it was a bit longer than one meter (~39 inches), but it's still fine. So in general, all of the products themselves are great and function perfectly.
But the basic element of it is that we have a selection of items from a company called UGREEN that involves a green-outfit and Dendro Vision coordinated character from Genshin Impact. Each piece ties into the greater whole for a cohesive vision. The USB-C to USB-C cable? It's the same shade of green as Kinich's Dendro energy and there's the K'uhul Ajaw tie to keep it organized. Kinich's portrait is front and center on the power bank and the charger. So when you see it, he's immediately visible and pops against the black of the accessories. When you turn the powerbank on or off, an Ajaw animation plays. There are more subtle Huitztlan markings in the background designed to call to mind the Natlan region he's from. There are a lot of callbacks that make sense.

I also feel like this collaboration feels a there's slightly more effort involved compared to the Logitech series of wireless G309 gaming mice. Yes, UGREEN is still taking the stock HoYoVerse art of Kinich that is used for Genshin Impact promotional purposes and things like acrylic stands, but the additional background and decorative accents, as well as the use of Ajaw, make it feel like there's a little more thought put into it. Sure, I would have appreciated original art, but the extra background is a good touch. Especially with the charger I'm using every other day.
Basically, the Genshin Impact UGREEN Kinich accessories and items are pretty fun. The character features an outfit with the right color scheme and for a company with that name and his Dendro vision matches it. His having a pixelated ally also goes well with a line of products intended to charge various electronic and gaming devices. The vibes are good, and the peripherals and cords all work great. It seems like a successful collaboration collection.
Genshin Impact is available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, and mobile devices, and the UGREEN Kinich accessories and items are available now.

No matter if you are looking to explore the swamps or to simply survive the never-welcome deadly rain caused by passing dragons, knowing how to clear the effects of poison is a necessity in RuneScape Dragonwilds.
Luckily, though, you can get your hands on Anti-Poison Potions fairly early, even if producing them efficiently will demand going out of your comfort zone. To help you counter one of the most frustrating status effects in the game, here's how to make Anti-Poison Potions in RuneScape Dragonwilds.
Table of contents
How to make Anti-Poison Potions in RuneScape Dragonwilds
You can make Anti-Poison Potions in RuneScape Dragonwilds by building a Brewing Cauldron and then mixing 1x Harralander, 1x Bittercap Mushroom, and 1x Clay Vessel.
If you have yet to do build the Brewing Cauldro, it will require 16x Ash Logs, 6x Coarse Thread, 10x Rune Essence, and 6x Clay. Like the Spinning Wheel, the station can only be used when under a steady roof.
![]()
To add to that, the Clay Vessel needed for the Anti-Poison Potion can only be made by placing Clay on a Kiln. You can build the station in exchange for the materials below. I was able to get the Kiln blueprint at the moment I acquired Clay for the first time.
After making your vessels, don't forget to also add a few wooden logs to your Kiln to make charcoal. After all, what good is a Brewing Cauldron that you cannot heat up?
Where to find Harralander and Bittercap Mushrooms
You can find Harralander and Bittercap Mushrooms at Whispering Swamp, with both being known to appear in spades on the shores within the area's central portion. While the Harralander can be easily spotted via its Flax-like blue glow, the mushrooms can mask themselves well within the fog, so keep your eyes peeled.
How to get and find Clay in RuneScape Dragonwilds
You can get Clay in RuneScape Dragonwilds by mining Clay Nodes with any type of pickaxe. Even if it is possible to spot them in other regions, you can find many early on and close-by clay mining spots on the easternmost portion of Whispering Swamp. Once in the area, the nodes will be located by the entrance of their Vault and can be easily pinpointed via their textures.
![]()
To make your trips to both areas easier and boost your chances of staying alive when confronted by the many goblins and Putrid Rat packs roaming the swamp, do not go easy on your armor and equip a sturdy shield. As always, having a few Wardstones can make a huge difference by allowing you to maintain an extra layer of protection.
Now that you know how to craft Anti-Poison Potions, why not also take a look at all of the other recipes you can make with your Brewing Cauldron? I also highly recommend that you check out our RuneScape Dragonwilds beginner's guide for some great early-game tips and tricks.

The Crystal Bow from past RuneScape iterations has returned in Dragonwilds, proving to be one of the best weapons. However, to get this item, you'll need to complete a series of objectives or gather an abundance of rare materials. Find out how to get the Crystal Bow in RuneScape: Dragonwilds.
Table of contents
Where to find Crystal Bow in RS: Dragonwilds
You can get the Crystal Bow through the Heartstrings Secondary Quest, requiring you to find various points of interest at the Fractured Plains. Those who complete this mission will earn the Crystal Bow as a reward, along with several intriguing dialogue scenes. You can also craft it yourself by using the following ingredients:
It's not entirely clear if you have to unlock this recipe with the quest first, but you can see if it pops when gathering these ingredients. Whichever method you use, you'll gain a powerful new weapon with x3.45 Arror Damage. Its standout feature is its Shattereshot, which crystallizes the enemy and explodes after a few seconds.
![]()
The Crystal Bow is also relatively sturdy, with a Durability of 1,050. It should last you quite a while, helping take down tons of foes.
How to start and complete the Heartstrings quest in RS: Dragonwilds
If you haven't unlocked the Heartstrings quest yet, I'll show you the steps to get started. First, head to the top of the cliffs in the Fractured Plains, near one of the Vaults.
![]()
To get there, use Windstep and build a staircase that leads up to the large tree at the summit.
![]()
Beside the tree, you'll see a stone structure, which you must interact with to begin the mission. Your task is to follow an elven bard's trail and interact with blue trees for the Crystal Bow.
![]()
While you're in the area, keep an eye out for a hidden chest tucked away nearby. Inside, you'll find a weapon recipe that's definitely worth adding to your arsenal.
All blue tree locations in the Heartstrings quest
Blue Tree #1
![]()
Venture downhill from the quest's starting point, and you'll spot a striking blue tree beside an enemy fortress perched on a small hill. Approach the nearby stone structure and interact with it to uncover a unique audio surprise.
![]()
Blue Tree #2
![]()
The next blue tree will be near an enemy camp, where you'll likely need to deal with a few goblins. I suggest using a Bronze-type weapon, which you can craft with the Fractured Plains' Tin and Copper Ore.
![]()
Blue Tree #3
![]()
Continue down the main path of the Fractured Plains to locate a blue tree next to a broken tower.
![]()
Blue Tree #4
![]()
Go towards the opening of Bloodblight Swamp to find the fourth blue tree for the Heartstrings quests. Unfortunately, two high-level guards may be stationed there, so you'll have to eliminate them first.
![]()
Blue Tree #5
![]()
While at the fourth blue tree location, travel up the hill to reach the cliffside of the Fractured Plains. You'll easily spot a blue tree on the main path.
![]()
Blue Tree #6
![]()
To reach the final blue tree, you'll need to balance your way across a log that's near the fifth tree location. Interact with the Memorial, and select "Sing the bard's song of remembrance" to claim the Crystal Bow in RuneScape: Dragonwilds.
![]()
Although there is a second option to "Step Away," it's crucial to pick the first dialogue point for this new weapon.

Sapphire is a pretty rare gem to mine in RuneScape Dragonwilds, which is why finding it can be a little bit tricky.
Here's everything you need to know about finding and mining the blue gemstone in RuneScape Dragonwilds.
Table of contents
How to get Sapphire in RuneScape Dragonwilds?
At the time of writing, or at least during early access, the best way to get Sapphire in RuneScape Dragonwilds is by mining Gold Ore Nodes. To unlock Sapphires, you also need to unlock the Gem Prospector at Mining level 16.
![]()
Sapphire is the secondary resource you can get from mining these deposits. What you need to do is head over to the Bloodblight Swamp (the bottom right part of Ashenfall) with at least a Bronze Pickaxe. If you have a better Pickaxe, you can mine it faster.
To craft a Bronze Pickaxe, you will need 5x Bronze Bar, 4x Oak Logs, and 2x Leather.
Remember, Bloodblight Swamp is a toxic and poisonous place to explore, which is why you must carry Weak Antipoison Potion and Bittercap Mushroom along with you to counter the effects. It's also one of the last areas to unlock in the game, making the Sapphire a late-game gemstone to find during early access.
The other way to get Sapphire is by using the Rocksplosion spell. This spell conjures a powerful blast to break apart stone boulders and ores and requires 15x Earth Runes and 5x Fire Runes.
What is Sapphire used for in RuneScape Dragonwilds?
Sapphire is one of the main ingredients in crafting the Staff of Light Legendary Weapon in RuneScape Dragonwilds.
Since the game is still in early access and Sapphire is a rare gemstone to find, its uses are limited at the time of writing. If the blue gemstone gains additional uses in future updates, we will add them to this section accordingly.
What other gemstones can you find in RuneScape Dragonwilds?
Apart from Sapphire, you can find three other gemstones:
Jade is mostly found in the northwestern part of the map, specifically in the Stormtouched Highlands, located west of the Fractured Plains. It's also one of the rarer gems to mine in the game, which means you need to have a bit of luck to find them.
Opals, on the other hand, drop when you're mining Tin or Copper ores. These ores are mostly found in the central part of Fractured Plains, but you can come across some towards the eastern borders as well.
Lastly, Red Topaz is also found in the Bloodblight Swamp, similar to Sapphire, and requires a Bronze Pickaxe for mining.

Easter is almost upon us, and Roblox Fisch is celebrating as well, with a new update. Even though the update is based on Easter, there are plenty of new permanent welcome innovations to the game. Without further ado, here's Everything new in the Fisch Egg Hunt Update.
Egg Hunt
![]()
Unsurprisingly, you're gonna go on an egg hunt. There are 23 hidden eggs in the game (15 in the First Sea, and 7 in the Second Sea). The Eggs are hidden in set locations, and some of them can only be obtained during certain seasons, hunt events, or under certain conditions. Some of them are also a bit bugged, but we're sure this will be fixed ASAP. You should aim to collect at least 20 of them, so you can claim the following rewards:
![]()
The first 5,000 players who find all 23 Eggs and claim them can also get an Egg Crown UGC item.
Second Sea level requirement lowered
![]()
Even though the community voted to have the Second Sea removed, that seems highly unlikely with this update (at least it does to us). First of all, to access the Second Sea, you now only need to be level 100 (it used to be 250). This will surely let more players experience the Second Sea.
Second Sea Enchantment Altar
![]()
If you visit Lushgrove, you can find an entrance to a cave with an elevator. If you go down, you'll find another Enchantment Altar just like the one in the Statue of Sovereign in the First Sea. Even better, you don't need to pay the C$400 fee to use the elevator. It works exactly the same as the First Sea enchantment altar.
Removing the debuff from the First Sea rods in the Second Sea
![]()
![]()
Yes, you've read that right, you can now remove the debuff from most (not all) of your rods from the First Sea. Unfortunately, it's not exactly straightforward.
First, you'll need to gather a couple of items. You need:
Once you have all the above items, take them to the Cursed Shores and look for a green glowing cave. Make your way down, and you'll find an enchantment altar (similar to the regular enchantment altars), but there will be four pedestals. Place each item in the right pedestal and finally place your First Sea rod in the final one, and voila! Enjoy fishing in the Second Sea with your First Sea rods without that annoying -50% debuff.
Castaway Quest
![]()
On the shore of the Isle of New Beginnings, you can find an NPC who will give you a quest to look for their brother. If you finish this quest, you can earn the Brother Rod.
Upgraded Enchantments
![]()
Finally, Rod Enchantments are getting a much-needed upgrade. Almost all of them have gotten some sort of a buff, and it usually comes in the form of progress speed. For example, the Exalted Immortal Buff now gives you a 30% Progress Speed along with the 75% Luck Increase. Some enchantments, like Clever and Blessed Song, haven't been affected. Either way, we really love the new changes.
New Premium Items
![]()
![]()
![]()
New update, new premium items. However, the Egg Salesman has been removed from the game, which is an unusual (but welcome) move by the developers. Until the next update, we've got the usual, skins, bobbers, and boats. This time, however, we aren't getting the 64x Server Luck inside a bundle. Here's everything you can buy with Robux:
That's all there is to it. Enjoy the Easter Bundle, enhance your First Sea rods, and look for those eggs. In the meantime, check out our Fisch codes for some freebies.

The much-anticipated Blox Fruits Gravity update is here, and there are a lot of neat new features. While the Gravity Fruit rework is the most anticipated feature, there is also a new interesting Fruit Awakening system called the Admin Panel. We'll explain how it works in this Complete Blox Fruits Admin Panel Guide.
What is the Admin Panel in Blox Frutis?
Simply put, the Admin Panel is yet another way to upgrade your Blox Fruit. Contrary to popular beliefs, the Admin Panel does not replace the current Awakening system. The Admin Fruit is merely a different way to enhance your Fruit's abilities. Unlike regular Awakening systems, you can choose to equip or unequip the abilities you unlock through the Admin Panel.
Where is the Admin Panel in Blox Fruits
![]()
You can access the Admin Panel by talking to the Mysterious Scientist (the Raids NPC). You can find him in Hot and Cold (Second Sea) or inside the safe zone in Castle on the Sea (Third Sea). Speak to him, pick the "Admin Panel" option, and you'll be able to access the new Fruit upgrade system.
How to use Admin Panel in Blox Fruits
![]()
Even though you can access the Admin Panel whenever, you can only use it if you have the correct Blox Fruit equipped. When you have the correct Blox Fruit equipped, you can access the Admin Panel and improve the Fruits' abilities.
Each new move requires you to do a simple task using your fruit's abilities. These can be as simple as killing a certain number of enemies, to using an ability for a set amount of time. You need to upgrade the abilities in order (from weakest to strongest), and you need to have a certain level of mastery, items and fragments to upgrade them.
Which Fruits can you upgrade with the Admin Panel?
You can upgrade the following Fruits using the Admin Panel:
Eagle Fruit
![]()
You can unlock three new abilities for the Eagle Fruit using the Admin Panel.
Gravity Fruit
![]()
You can unlock four new abilities for the Gravity Fruit using the Admin Panel.
That's all there is to it. We will add more Fruits as they get added to the Admin Panel. In the meantime, check out the new Blox Fruits codes if you haven't already.
