'There's a mysterious extra DLC for The Witcher 3 in the works', this bit of paper claims. 'Oh yeah, I heard about that,' Gerry's brain responds. 'Also, it reportedly might be set in Zerrikania,' says the paper. 'Ooh, that's new,' the Witcherman's noggin thinks. |

I think this is a fair criticism of the introductory paragraph below and the fifth paragraph, in which I misread the line about not being "super shocked" as referring to the possibility of another delay.

Cover held a Hololive Dreams Special Reveal Show for its mobile rhythm game project with Vtubers Hoshimachi Suisei, IRyS, Tokino Sora, and Yukihana Lamy, and it revealed the title will be available worldwide in multiple languages like Japanese and English. It also showed off gameplay, shared multiple trailers, and confirmed further details about the free-to-play game release will come up at the Hololive Super Expo in March 2026.
In Hololive Dreams, you will set one of the Vtubers as a Leader, then aid their abilities and your progress with five Members in your deck. These characters will all interact and help increase your scores for tracks. 50 members of the company will be represented at launch from all branches. An original story is present in the game. There will also be Solo or in a multiplayer mode. It's also possible to enter Create Chart Mode to go into one of the 150 included songs to customize the note patterns. (Each track could have a music video or "concert" performance.) There will also be a new official theme song for the game featuring all 50 Vtubers in the game. An auto-play function will also be present in songs for beginners.
Here's the official teaser, which primarily focuses on Tokino Sora and teases other Vtubers.
There's also a longer trailer that shows how the rhythm gameplay will work and shows some of the performers and songs. That features official English subtitles if you turn on closed captions. The custom song maps function shows up toward the end too.
You can see the official English watch-along of the latest stream for the game with Hakos Baelz and Kaela Kovalskia below:

The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon feels like a culmination. It's the result of gameplay evolutions and stories since Trails in the Sky coming together. It's also the first in yet another branch, with a cliffhanger teasing at least one more installment before any resolution. While I did enjoy the latest take on the combat system, I feel this is the most unfriendly entry for newcomers and am a bit concerned about how the second part could be handled. Trails Beyond the Horizon is satisfying in some ways, but sometimes feels weak due to certain design choices.
Trails Beyond the Horizon is a compilation game of sorts, pulling from all of the recent The Legend of Heroes installments since Trails in the Sky to build up its narrative and backstory. Basically, it means implications for Zemuria as a whole, with the Calvard Republic and Edith at its center for some critical parts of the story. President Roy Gramheart is preparing a satellite project for the entire planet, followed by a manned mission. Meanwhile, three notable heroes from throughout the series and their parties are all taking part in a training exercise at the Marduk Total Security Company, with shard technology recreating monsters and trials. So we have Van and his group, which consists of Arkride Solutions Office associates like Agnes, Feri, Bergard, Rissette, and Elaine as one route, folks such as Rean, Crow, Altina, Renne head off on their own training route tied to the new Assault Frame Excalibur XD, and Kevin, Rufus, Nadia, and Swin head out on his Septian Church business. As all three groups head their separate ways, they each learn more about what's happening in Calvard and to Zemuria as a whole, with the results shaping the world as a whole and providing insight into Professor Claude Epstein's prediction that an end is approaching in 120X. (As usual.)
First of all, Trails Beyond the Horizon is not a game for folks who haven't been keeping up with with The Legend of Heroes series. I'd say at bare minimum, someone hopefully played all three Trails in the Sky, all four Trails of Cold Steel, and the previous two Calvard games Trails Through Daybreak entries. Given the prominence of Rufus as a character, including Trails into Reverie in that could also be very helpful. You will be left out sometimes if you don't have that previous context, even though there are attempts to reintroduce characters and recurring gameplay elements Van's investigations. In addition, your affinity for certain characters will absolutely determine how much you enjoy all of this. I love Kevin Graham and was actually a bit sad that we don't see as much of him and his group as we do Van's and Rean's. Likewise, if you don't care for the Arkride Solutions Office crew, their portion does feel like the main "focus," even though there are other major developments in Kevin and Rean's stories. I thought some revelations were interesting, but none of it excited me and so much happening at once in three routes overwhelmed me. Perhaps it's due to arc fatigue from Calvard, which didn't captivate me in the same way as others, or the fact that Trails in the Sky First Chapter reminded me how much more I enjoyed the earlier arcs' characters and storytelling.
Still, for those who do love the series, Trails Beyond the Horizon gives you more of that with its routes and sidequests. It's great seeing different personalities interacting, especially in situations when we don't often get to see folks around each other as often. Rean's route is a fantastic example of this. Again, I'm a huge fan of Kevin and the way he interacts with Rufus and others makes his moments a highlight. In the case of the Arkride Solutions Office crew, I think the big benefit is seeing the increased development after the two Daybreak games, especially with people like Agnes and Rissette. And the investigation element in which we bring up topics remains fun.
Forgoing spoilers, of course, I'm also concerned about where Trails Beyond the Horizon's next part will go and what Falcom intends to do. The cliffhanger here is a substantial one. I don't see how this isn't resolved without a lot of asset reuse and perhaps even retreading of past narrative choices. I'm also a bit concerned about what it means for one major character in particular and if what comes next could "soften" some plot points and development.
While I'm not entirely sold on Trails Beyond the Horizon's plot, I loved the combat system. For those who played First Chapter, we again get the opportunity to kick things off with a more active Field Battle system, then continue the assault in a more strategic turn-based Command Battle fight that takes into account more defined positioning, area of effect spheres, and range of nearby allies for follow-up attacks. Arts and Crafts are available as attacks. I do feel like the Field Battles are a bit simplistic, even with the Charge Attacks and Quick Arts possible and ZOC allowing you to slow and stun them. It feels like there's more to Command Battles and they become more technically interesting due to things like the BLTZ Chain and Support opportunities to continue and enhance attacks after a SCLM Chain assault. But I will say even there that the Crafts and Dual Arts sometimes feel like the way to go for quickly breezing through a fight, even if a character with a Boost Gauge ends up Awakened and stronger than usual.
This means that, at times, I could feel like the Grim Garten was more of a highlight in Trails Beyond the Horizon. We have greater control over who can be in our party, without the campaign's limitations. (Though there is unlocking.) While combat and objective-focused when in an area, there's still the strategic element that comes from choosing where to move in each area, completing objectives, and facing guardians. The story elements here involve Ouroboros and other notable characters both via standard progress and bringing any Memento Orbs we find to the Reminiscence Pedestal.
Another plus is that Trails Beyond the Horizon runs quite well on the Switch 2! Battles are fluid both Command and Field Battles. Character models look great. Environmental textures are perfect too. I didn't encounter any bugs while playing either. It is an excellent version of the game.
Enjoyment of later The Legend of Heroes entries is often dependent on familiarity with the series, and that's especially true with Trails Beyond the Horizon. If you didn't put in the time to play, perhaps at the very least, all four Cold Steel titles and the two Daybreak ones, I am confident you would have a bad time. Even if you did, a lot of joy in this can come down to how well you connected with characters in Van, Rean, and Kevin's routes. The combat system remains solid, fortunately, and Grim Garten can be a lot of fun if you do enjoy fighting through challenges with familiar faces.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon will come to the Switch, Switch 2, PS4, PS5, and PC on January 15, 2026, and demos are available.

For the third year in a row, a snow sculpture of a Gundam will appear at the Sapporo Snow Festival. There will also be a special Gundam booth at Tsudome, with activities like a photo spot and the Gundam Recycling Project. [Thanks, PR Times!]
This year, you'll be able to see a snow sculpture of the RX-105 Ξ (Xi) Gundam. This machine debuted in Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway, a 2021 theatrical adaptation of the Hathaway's Flash novel series. The Ξ Gundam sculpture is to market the Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe film, which will be a sequel to the first Hathaway movie. It'll come out on January 30, 2026. A key visual of Hathaway, Kenneth, and Gigi in winter clothing and standing in front of the Ξ Gundam snow figure will be at the Tsudome Gundam booth.
You'll also be able to purchase snacks and merchandise at the sales booth. Items include white chocolate, mint candies, and yoitomake cake rolls. All of these items feature Gundam characters and mobile suits on the packaging.
Finally, you'll be able to experience the Gundam Recycling Project, which shows you how Bandai is making Gunpla more environmentally friendly. After putting together your Ecopla model (which uses recycled materials), you'll put the runners into a recycling box. You'll also receive a pamphlet explaining Ecopla and the Gundam Recycling Project.
Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe will appear in theaters in Japan on January 30, 2026. The Sapporo Snow Festival will run from February 4 to 11, 2026.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's first event pass is set to hit this afternoon to coincide with the Season One Reloaded update, and its Fallout TV show theme has players quite excited and impressed with what it offers.
Yes, the premium track of the pass costs 1,100 CoD Points (about $10), but even the free rewards are pretty awesome. Players can unlock a total of 10 items simply by playing the game without putting in any investment.
The free track of the event pass includes two Vault Dweller operator skins, a Vault Boy weapon charm, Vault-Tec weapon camo, and the new Sturmwolf 45 SMG. So, if you're even remotely interested in BO7 at this point, it'll definitely be worth playing to unlock everything.
But the premium track is also quite nice, especially for the price compared to other store bundles that clock in at around $20 or more. It has operators and skins for both The Ghoul and Maximus, three weapon blueprints and other cosmetics. And CoD fans are genuinely digging what they see so far.
"That one is ACTUALLY worth spending the money on the premium track... nice!" said one player on X/Twitter, while another remarked that it's "100 times better than any of the garbage BO6 event passes we had." A lot of the same sentiment can be seen across multiple social media channels.
CoD Points are given as part of the battle pass each season on top of being able to purchase them with real money, so if you play BO7, this seems like about as good a value as you'll find. While many others and I rightfully scoff at the pricing of some bundles (the Lucy MacLean Fallout bundle is not included in any of the freebies or event pass), this event seems like it's worthwhile if you're a CoD player in 2026.
The Fallout collab is also introducing multiple limited-time modes and even a reskin of Nuketown called Vault Town, where the iconic location is decked out in Vault-Tec scenery. But personally, I'm most looking forward to the Zombies mode, where you can fight the Bethesda franchise's terrifying Deathclaws.
I have some CoD Points accrued in my account that I'll probably be using for this event pass, but even if I end up deciding against that, the free rewards will have me in the game for the first time in weeks. Oh, and Fallout season two is currently airing on Prime Video and is quite good, too, so the vibes around everything in this update (at least so far) are positive.

The gaming year of 2026 begins in earnest in just a few weeks, Xbox announced today, confirming the date for its first Developer Direct showcase.
While today's New Game+ Showcase will show off many games coming in 2026, Microsoft is bringing out its big guns for the first Developer Direct of 2026, including two of its "big four" for the year: Fable and Forza Horizon 6.
Fable has seemingly been in development for ages, and Forza will always bring in a lot of hype. But for me, the third game of the showcase is the one I'm most interested in learning more about. Beast of Reincarnation, the action RPG first revealed last year, will finally get some more of the spotlight.
Beast of Reincarnation is a new title from Game Freak, a studio synonymous with the Pokémon franchise. But this looks to be something entirely new and different, and I have high hopes for whatever there is to show in a couple of weeks.
"In post-apocalyptic Japan, humanity's last hope may rest with Emma and her loyal canine companion, Koo," the game's description says. "Explore what it means to be human in Beast of Reincarnation, an expansive one-person, one-dog action RPG built around demanding, technical combat. What awaits at journey's end?"
Xbox teased that Game Freak will "reveal details of our protagonist Emma's innovative plant manipulation actions and gameplay with her canine companion," so we should have a more concrete idea of what the game truly is like and about ahead of its launch sometime later this year.
A small peek at the game's gameplay from last year showed a glimpse of action combat and some of the aforementioned flora changes, and it certainly looks gorgeous and potentially full of promise. Add it to the list of 2026 games we can look forward to.
The January 2026 Developer Direct takes place on Thursday, Jan. 22 at 12pm CT on all of Xbox's channels.

The world of Arcadia-7 isn't an easy place to survive, and you'll need to have plenty of food in StarRupture to sustain yourself.
At first, your only means of survival will be a ration pack. But these items will finish pretty quickly, and thankfully, you can cook different items. This guide will provide you with the complete list of every cooking recipe you'll find in StarRupture.
Table of contents
All food recipes in StarRupture
Every cooking recipe in StarRupture requires specific resources. Additionally, they also offer bonus effects that can be a game-changer.
How to cook food in StarRupture
The first task is to reach level 2 for Moon Energy Corporation. You can do so by producing Titanium Bars and sending them via Orbital Cargo Launcher. This will unlock the Recipe Station that you can then place in your habitat. The Recipe Station will allow you to unlock different recipes, some of which will be usable in the Food Station.
To get the Food Station, you'll have to complete the level 6 requirements for Future Health Solutions. To do that, you have to send back Ceramics. This is a relatively mid or end-game activity.
You'll also need to obtain the different ingredients listed on the table above. You can also consume the ingredients, but you won't obtain the applicable boosts.

I'll show you all the Ores in The Forge as well as their stats, how to reach their locations and what pickaxes to use to mine them. I'll also be listing special traits every Ore for creating equipment. Here are all Ores in The Forge and my complete Ore guide.
Table of contents
The Forge Ore Guide
Below I'll list all ores in The Forge sorted by location and rarity but first let's explain Ore stats. Each Ore has its stats like multipliers, rock nodes they drop from and traits. Here's what all Ore stats mean:
Each ore will have all of these stats below and now that you know what all of them mean let's dive into the Ore list. Remember to equip as many Mining Shard runes on your pickaxe as you can.
All Stonewake's Cross Ores in The Forge [World 1]
These are all ores you'll find in the starting cave in World 1 sorted from the lowest to the highest drop chance. The rock nodes here are Pebbles, Rocks and Boulders. Here are the World 1 ores:
All Forgotten Kingdom Ores in The Forge [World 2]
The ores below are found across the caves in Forgotten Kingdom World 2 and Volcano Region (See picture above) but these don't include the ores in the Goblin Cave since that's a separate section below. For World 2 there's a lot more rock nodes with specific Pickaxe Strength requirements. Here's everything you need as well as all the ores and traits you can find here:
All Goblin Cave Ores in The Forge [World 2]
The Forge Goblin Cave is a special area in World 2 Forgotten Kingdom and the entrance is to the right of the Goblin King. My video above will show you how to reach the Goblin King. From there you have to complete a 5-part quest that's basically about giving him a total of 85.000 gold and he'll give you the key for the Goblin Caves. The cave entrance is to the right of the Goblin King. Here are all the ores in the Goblin Caves.
All Frostpire Expanse Ores in The Forge [World 3]
You'll need to reach Level 70 before you can enter Island 3 Frostpire Expanse. The list below will focus on the Spider Cave (& Mosasaursit) where you can find Icy Pebble, Icy Rock and Icy Boulder. I'll list Mosasaursit and The Peak ores below in a separate list since it's focused on various Ice Crystals not found in the Spider Cave. Note that the Arcane Pickaxe will only mine the Icy Pebbles and you'll need either the Demonite or one of the Island 3 pickaxes for Icy Rocks and above.
All The Peak Ores in The Forge [World 3]
The Peak is right above the town area on Island 3 which you can reach by going up the walkway to the right of Bjorn the quest giver. Inside of The Peak cave are Small, Medium, Large and Floating Ice Crystals as well as all the late-game enemies and the Golem Boss. I recommend at least the Snow Pickaxe for this area and remember to use the Goblin Race for a discount.
All Raven Cave Ores in The Forge [World 3]
The Raven Cave is on Island 3 and is filled with Small Red Crystal, Medium Red Crystal, Large Red Crystal, Heart Of The Island Crystal. You'll need at least 420 Pickaxe strength for this location which breaks the Small Red Crystal so Frost Pickaxe and above. Here are all the ores found here.
Mosasaursit Ore & Prismatic Pickaxe in The Forge [World 3]
Mosasaursit is a special ore needed for the Prismatic Pickaxe that is found by diving into the hole at the frozen lake at the other side of Island 3. Follow the picture and video above to reach the frozen lake, dive into the hole and keeping swimming down to the bottom. There'll be a massive ice wall that you can mine for Mosasaursit and you need 320 Pickaxe strength so the Snow Pickaxe for $750.000 is your best bet. Mosasaursit is used to unlock the Prismatic Pickaxe which is behind the wall where you need 1 Mosasaursit and enough cash to get it (Use Goblin Race for a massive discount).
That's it for my all Ores in The Forge guide with locations and pickaxe requirements. Check out our The Forge codes for free goodies. Also, with all these Ore combinations in mind here's a weapon tier list for the game.

All around The Winter Floating Festival island, there are hidden puzzles waiting to be solved in Disney Dreamlight Valley. One of the trickier ones you'll encounter in your adventures is the Frosty Rabbit puzzle.
This large creature needs to be fed to progress the puzzle and reveal a hidden treasure, but what the Rabbit wants to consume and how to find the secret prize is a mystery at first. It's an easy trial to get stuck on, so if you're have trouble working through it, here's how to solve The Winter Floating Festival Frosty Rabbit puzzle in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

How to complete The Winter Floating Festival Frosty Rabbit puzzle in Disney Dreamlight Valley
To complete the Frosty Rabbit puzzle featured in The Winter Floating Festival event, you need to feed this critter the right item for four days, then find the hidden digging spot it reveals to claim your prize. This is one of the tougher event puzzles to get done since it has multiple parts and spans over the course of a few days.
What does The Winter Floating Festival Frosty Rabbit eat in Disney Dreamlight Valley?
Although you may be tempted to give the Frosty Rabbit some Carrots since that's what all regular Rabbits in the valley like, you actually need Festive Hot Cocoa to satisfy this critter. There are three Festive Hot Cocoa recipes, and the Rabbit's preferred flavor changes each day.
The Winter Floating Festival Frosty Rabbit puzzle solution Disney Dreamlight Valley
To get the full Frosty Rabbit puzzle done, you must feed it four times, review the fully finished memory, and locate the buried treasure. It's a rather lengthy process, especially compared to the other event puzzles, so here's a full breakdown of how to get it done.
The first step is to gather lots of Festive Cocoa Beans so you can brew up some Festive Hot Cocoa. Depending on what day it is, you'll need a different one. The full Festive Hot Cocoa schedule for the Frosty Rabbit is as follows.
Once you have the right Festive Hot Cocoa made, track down the Frosty Rabbit around the island. This creature hops around all over it, so it might take a bit to find them. When you do, simply walk up to them and press the interact button to initiate the feeding process.
Each time you feed this critter the correct Hot Cocoa of the day, a Memory Orb will drop. You can interact with this orb to reveal a piece of a memory. After you've fed the Frosty Rabbit for four days, you'll have all four pieces of the memory, thus revealing the location you can visit to claim your reward.
The location pictured in the memory is the firepit with two gingerbread chairs next to it. You can find this spot behind the carousel in the area surrounded by a candy cane fence. The treasure won't appear here until the full memory is complete, though.
Once the Frosty Rabbit has been fed for four days, head over to the right spot featured in the memory. Then, equip your Royal Shovel and look for a glowing golden spot on the ground. Dig this spot to reveal a pouch that contains your reward.
The Winter Floating Festival Frosty Rabbit puzzle reward in Disney Dreamlight Valley
After fully finishing the Frosty Rabbit puzzle, you get to claim the Taupe Winter Hat clothing item. This is the first piece in a three-part outfit you can earn through the event, with the other two items unlocking through additional puzzles.
There's plenty more you can tackle in this festive event to earn additional prizes. Next, you might focus on completing the Pillar puzzle or working your way through the Chocolate Fountain puzzle.

League of Legends Season 16 brings a host of different Role quests for you to complete and win various rewards.
The quests will be live throughout the course of the season, and you can complete a few or all of them. While they're easy to start, finishing them will require a coordinated approach. This guide will provide key details about all the quests and what you can earn by completing them.

How to start Role quests in League of Legends
Role quests begin automatically when you begin a fresh round. They're assigned automatically based on your chosen role and character. If you change a character, the assignment will switch as well. IF you're playing in a custom Summoner's Rift lobby, you'll have to select a quest.

The requirements for completing Role quests vary based on your role. The key objective is to earn points, and rewards are granted when you hit certain milestones.
Points you earn by taking down turrets and minions will be doubled if you're doing so in your assigned lane. Some of the point generation will happen passively, which will allow you to obtain the rewards quicker.

There's just something about listening to your favorite music in a public setting and forcing it upon the ears of others. Roblox has turned this real-world nuisance into a series of games on its platform.
Using a database of uploaded songs, players can input Song IDs to blast their song of choice directly into the ears of strangers all over the world. Here are some of the best.
Table of contents
Best songs for Roblox 2025
Prior to a change in March 2022, users could upload virtually any audio file and have it be playable in any game that supported the boombox via a Song ID. The change retroactively made any audio longer than six seconds private. This meant that if you weren't the person who had originally uploaded the audio file, you would no longer be able to play or hear the sound.
This means the vast majority of Song ID repositories are now functionally useless, and users have been restricted to a much smaller selection of songs and sound clips of varying quality. One important thing to know is that there's no guarantee that any individual Song ID may work, as they can be made private by either Roblox staff or the user who uploaded it.
Below are 30 absolute bangers to entertain yourself and possibly others around you. I have personally confirmed that each is working at the time of this writing. Go forth, aspiring DJs!
How to search for Song IDs in Roblox
To search for music codes on Roblox, follow these steps:
You'll discover many sections on the Audio page, from the top Roblox Song IDs to the newest hits of the day. After you find a song, you can get its ID through 'More Info.' Discover the correct number from your URL. For instance, mine came out to 'create.roblox.com/store/asset/75793628822368/Mirage-Portal.' Thus, the bolded numbers would be utilized as the Song ID.
How to use music codes in Roblox
Playing music in Roblox varies in each game, as they all have different methods. Sometimes, it can cost money with Robux, while other times, it doesn't cost a thing. To play music for free, play Catalog Heaven, a game that allows you to customize your avatar and battle nearby bases. Once you start playing, select 'Catalog' and type in Boombox. There will be a few choices here, including the Boombox Gear 3.0 and Golden Super Fly Boombox. Choose one of them to trigger a prompt to enter Roblox music codes.
Tap on the Boombox again if you want to change songs. You can also stop the music by unequipping it in your inventory. Besides Catalog Heaven, you can see if other games permit music. I discovered that Jailbreak features a Car Stereo mechanic, costing 200 Robux. With this title, you can type in 'R' or tap the radio on the bottom-right corner of the screen. Then, enter any Song ID you prefer to listen to some tunes on Jailbreak.
For the most part, it seems like Roblox titles that use music codes require a subscription pass. Therefore, if you're unsure whether your game is compatible, check the title's Subscription & Passes section to see if there's a radio or stereo feature.
Can I create custom music playlists in Roblox?
Only Roblox game developers can create custom music playlists. It's associated with a tool used in scripting to create soundtracks for various worlds. If you're a player, you must manually enter each ID to make your own version of a playlist.
