Nintendo and Twitch announced that, once Pokemon Pokopia debuts, people will be able to get a Ditto chat badge cosmetic. This will debut on March 5, 2026, the same day the game launches worldwide. There's also already a teaser image to show us what we can expect from the icon.
Unlike some cosmetics, this won't be a free item you can get. You can't just watch someone playing Pokemon Pokopia on Twitch for a certain amount of time in order to get the Ditto chat badge. Instead, you need to actually pay to either subscribe to a person who is streaming that Switch 2 game or gift a sub to them. (That should be about $5.99, though it varies based on where you live and local currencies.) After you do that, you will earn the badge. However, the promotion is also only in effect until March 19, 2026.
Here's the official image from social media showing how the chat badge will look.
This follows a similar sort of promotion tied to Resident Evil Requiem. That involved two cosmetics that looked like the Umbrella logo and Mr. Raccoon.
Pokemon Pokopia will come to the Switch 2 on March 5, 2026, and the Ditto chat badge will be available on Twitch between March 5-19, 2026.

The shows will take place between October 2026 and January 2027. This will follow the Japanese return of the performance on June 6, 2026 in Tokyo, Japan.
We do know a bit about what to expect from these performances. That's because there was already a run of in Japan. It took place in July 2025, and two shows were held in Saitama, Japan. While there are no details about merchandise for the worldwide performances, people could also get limited edition tickets that included a Dragon God's Lance or acrylic standee of the official concert art of Will (the protagonist) and Gallica.
The schedule for the worldwide dates is already live. Here's when each show will happen. Note that Atlus didn't say when ticket sales for the Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand showings will open.
Here's the official trailer for the Metaphor: ReFantazio Orchestra Concert world tour.
And for a better example of what to expect, here's the concert digest Atlus released in January 2026.
The Metaphor: ReFantazio Orchestra Concert world tour will kick off with a show in the US on October 9, 2026, and ticket presale sales will open for England, France, and the US on March 5, 2026. The game is available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.

Square Enix is sharing detailed character trailers for all of the launch units in Dissidia Duellum Final Fantasy, and the FFXIV representative Gaia is the next to appear. This is the first time she'll appear in any spin-off in the series. She's been a part of the MMORPG since the Shadowbringers expansion.
Gaia is referred to as the Oracle of Darkness in Dissidia Duellum Final Fantasy, just as she is in FFXIV. (Though you might also remember her as the Voidwalker from there.) The trailer begins by showing a clips and art of her in this spin-off alongside footage taken from the MMORPG. This way, we can compare her character design and more modern "real world" outfit. These screens also confirm Yuna Kamakura will return as her voice actress. She played her in the MMORPG and is also known for her roles as Ema Bessho and Ranze Nanahoshi in Yu-Gi-Oh anime adaptations.
From there, we see Gaia take the field. While Prompto was a bit more casual and taking photos, she's drawing her weapon and stepping up. After some standard attacks, we see her use the abilities Spell-in-Waiting, Hopeful Dance, Diamond Destroyer, and Fated Moment. Her trailer then ends with an event scene and her saying, "I won't forgive you if you fall."
Here's the full Dissidia Duellum Final Fantasy trailer for FFXIV's Gaia.
Dissidia Duellum Final Fantasy will come to Android and iOS mobile devices in March 2026, and pre-registration is open now. The App Store page says it will appear on March 31, 2026.

Leading the life of a 13th-century rider isn't an easy task, and in The Legend of Khiimori, your success will often depend on your horses.
Your options will be limited when you start. However, successful jobs will result in wealth, and you can use your money to expand your stable. That said, things aren't as simple as just buying as many horses as you want.
First, let's begin by looking at how you can breed to get new horses.
Table of contents
How to breed horses in The Legend of Khiimori
Once you've settled into your save and have some money, you can consider breeding horses. To do so, you'll need to have at least three horses. Moreover, there should be at least one mare and one stallion for the breeding to take place. If you don't have them, you can buy them from the horse trader. Every horse costs 1000 coins, so they're not cheap.
You will also need to spend 20 coins per mating activity. You'll have to sleep for a short while for the breeding process to complete and for your foal to be born. To access the foal, go to the gate left of the breeding station and interact with it.
Wait for a few in-game days, and you'll be able to ride the foal on an adventure.
Horse stats in The Legend of Khiimori explained
Every horse in the game has five different skills. You can check it from the horse's profile, and there will be certain values assigned to each of the skills. Here's what the skills mean.
Additionally, every horse has certain traits that are imparted on them randomly. If you breed your horses, the foal should also inherit some of those traits. Compared to skills, traits are behavioural patterns that determine how friendly and social your horses are.

Esoteric Ebb turns you into a Cleric in a bizarre world, and at its core lies a set of ability stats that you have to master.
There are six ability stats that determine your Cleric's strength and weakness. When you start a save, you get 27 points to distribute across all the stats. Naturally, you can't invest the max amount in every department. How you balance things out will determine how effective (or ineffective) your Cleric is.
How do all ability stats work in Esoteric Ebb
While there's an official description for each stat, the table below will provide you with better explanations. If you don't understand how every ability works, you could end up wasting some or all of your points.
Apart from ability stats, there are 18 Background Focuses available as well. Every Background Focus boosts certain sets of ability stats that are separate from the points that you choose to invest.

Browt, Pombon, and Gecqua are rapidly becoming one of Pokémon's most popular starter trios. Fans adore the Bean Chick, Puppy, and Water Gecko Pokémon's designs, and many can't help but wonder what their final evolutions might look like. If a fan theory is true, they might be some of the coolest in Pokémon history.
We've known for a while, thanks to leaks, that Pokémon's 10th generation takes place in a region inspired by Southeast Asia. Winds and Waves' official trailer has all but confirmed that. Drawing from this, fans looked to Southeast Asia's rich cultural history for inklings of what the region's starters' ultimate forms might look like, and a fan on X thinks they may have cracked the code.
Pokémon Winds and Waves starter Pokémon may not stay cute and cuddly for long
The theory, rapidly gaining traction among Pokémon fans, posits that each of Winds and Waves starters' final stages will resemble a legendary beast from Southeast Asian folklore. Each is a terrifying herald of calamity with deep roots in local legend, firmly connecting this set of starters to their native region.
Let's start with Browt, whose final evolution could be based on the Minokawa, a winged beast from Philippine mythology resembling a bird-like dragon or a dragon-like bird, depending on the story. According to legend, every feather on the Minokawa's wings is a steel sword, and its merciless eyes reflect light like stainless mirrors. Based on that charming description, Browt's final evolution could be a Grass/Steel-type.
Pombon clearly draws inspiration from a Pomeranian, one of the most popular dog breeds in Indonesia, but Nipha's theory posits that its last form may resemble the Arimaonga, a creature from Maranao legend. The Maranao people model the Arimaonga after lions, tigers, and dragons, fearing and revering it equally. Fairy-type Pokémon love to draw influence from sugary sweets, so if Pombon's clear connection to bonbons is anything to go by, its third stage might be a Fire/Fairy type.
Gecqua, the Water Gecko Pokémon might become a sea serpent based on the Bakunawa. Another beast from Philippine myth, the Bakunawa heralds storms, tidal waves, and earthquakes. The Water/Dragon-type would suit this Pokémon perfectly, but since the Minokawa and Arimaonga are also dragon-like, all three starters could end up getting the Dragon-type by the end, which will make it even harder for most of us to choose which one we want.
Pokémon Wind and Waves' starters' final forms might foreshadow a cosmic-scale story
If the theory holds true, Browt, Pombon, and Gecqua's ultimate evolutions could be some of the most ferocious we've seen from the franchise in years. The Minokawa, Arimaonga, and Bakunawa are all man-eating harbingers of calamity, but they also share one other terrifying trait that might hint at things to come in Winds and Waves' story.
A common theme throughout Southeast Asian myth is the celestial predator: a beast that hunts the Sun and Moon across the sky. The Minokawa, Arimaonga, and Bakunawa all fall under this category. When eclipses blocked out either celestial body, people assumed their local Sun/Moon eater had finally caught its prey.
If Game Freak is modeling Winds and Waves' starters after celestial predators, it's possible that an eclipse will play a huge role in the game's plot. An impending celestial event is an epic story catalyst and a fantastic backdrop for any climax. It would also be pretty impactful to see our starter defy the legends that inspired their final evolution, fighting to save the region from a threat blotting out the sky.
As a fan who prefers my starters on the "beasts of raw elemental fury" side, I really hope Nipah's theory about Winds and Waves' starters holds true. More information will surely come out before the game launches in 2027, so only time will tell if Game Freak's really putting the animal back into their Starter trios.

Marvel Rivals' second year is turning into one massive advertisement for some big movies coming out this year, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.
Last night at a special event in Los Angeles, NetEase Games revealed Marvel Rivals: Path to Doomsday, a series of in-game events to tie in to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and eventually culminate in the massiveAvengers: Doomsday film on Dec. 18.
A series of movie tie-in events playable in Marvel Rivals kicks off next month with an homage to the original Avengers movie from 2012. As part of it, a new Loki costume inspired by the character's design in that movie will come to the game, alongside a special new game mode.
"In this asymmetrical PVP mode, one player plays as Loki, facing off against six other players who play as different heroes," NetEase said. "Loki is equipped with an all-new skill set, combining deception, illusions, and powerful Infinity Stone abilities to turn enemies against each other! To claim victory, the other heroes can also summon Hulk under certain conditions, recreating iconic scene [sic!] from the film."
And you know what? This sounds great to me. As a lifelong Marvel fan, and early MCU adopter (I saw Iron Man in 2008 at midnight release), I think the company using Rivals to promote and celebrate big movie releases is kind of awesome. The events will continue with Avengers: Age of Ultron in June,Avengers: Infinity War in August, Avengers: Endgame in October, and of course, Avengers: Doomsday in December, with all of them having similar promotions within.
It's no secret that the general public's interest in the MCU has waned over the past few years, and Avengers: Doomsday is looking to bring everyone back in with a star-studded cast that includes Fox's X-Men characters and Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom himself. As a comic book nerd, I've always enjoyed the best and worst of what Marvel Studios has done. I never could've imagined seeing the heroes of my childhood come to life on the big screen, so I find a way to glean joy from just about anything. This collaboration with NetEase feels like an extension of that.
Utilizing Rivals to celebrate previous Avengers movies is really smart. Age of Ultron could have a PvE event starring Ultron, while Infinity War and Endgame could include Thanos and other villains, leading into December's Doomsday release, where we could see new heroes inspired by that movie show up. If I were a betting man, I'd say we might see Cyclops and even Doctor Doom or Doom 2099 join the roster to coincide with it.
NetEase's cadence of updates since launching has been impressive, and although the game's player count has dipped in recent months, Marvel fans and hardcore gamers alike seem to always come back for big updates such as these.
With a new playable hero scheduled each month (season 7, beginning soon, should add Black Cat and White Fox), along with other additions like maps, skins, modes, and game systems, it sure feels like Marvel Rivals is in it for the long haul. And with a near-endless backlog of material to pull from, let alone just the MCU, it's easy to see how.

Less than 24 hours are left for Marathon to go live across PC and consoles, and this guide will help you keep track.
The release comes right after the end of the recent Server Slam that served as an open beta for all. While you can pre-download the files in advance, the servers go live at the same time. Let's find out when you can jump into Tau Ceti IV upon launch.
Table of contents
What's the release date for Marathon?
Marathon will officially launch on Thursday, March 5, across all platforms. The following countdown will expire once the game goes live.
The countdown is based on the following timings.
The timings are based on the official information from Bungie. While Marathon will be released on consoles, there are no regional timings. The servers open up at the same time, and hence, there's no way to use the New Zealand method to start playing early.
What to expect from Marathon
Thanks to the Server Slam, we have a fair idea of what to expect from Marathon when it goes live on March 5. The release also marks the start of Season 1, which will see the arrival of three different zones, weapons, mods, and more.
At launch, we will have six Runner shells to enjoy, which include the previously-locked Thief. There will be six factions offering unique upgrades, sponsored kits, armors, and more. March 5 also marks the launch of the Ranked season, which will feature its own unique set of contracts, challenges, and more.
With plenty on offer, you can currently pre-order Marathon on your preferred platform. Doing so will allow you to pre-download all the required files.

The Assassin's Creed franchise isn't going anywhere anytime soon, according to Ubisoft, which revealed and reconfirmed a slew of titles on the way.
Up first, Ubisoft confirmed its long-rumored plans of an Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag remake: it's real, and it's called Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced. The company even debuted a first look, which can be seen below:
No further details about the remake were revealed, but there were several other announcements on the franchise, including Codename HEXE, which is the next big main entry in the series. Ubisoft describes it as "a unique, darker, narrative-driven Assassin's Creed experience, set during a pivotal moment in history."
"We are taking the time to deliver on its ambitious vision, which means we'll be quiet for a little longer, but we love seeing all the enthusiasm happening on our channels and can't wait to unveil more when the time is right," said Jean Guesdon, Head of Content for Assassin's Creed.
But that's not all. On top of Assassin's Creed Jade (still in development after being announced years ago), Ubisoft also confirmed it's still at work on Codename INVICTUS, "a PvP multiplayer Assassin's Creed experience led by a dedicated team of For Honor veterans at Ubisoft Montreal."
"We understand there's a lot of curiosity around this project: yes, it's a new approach to multiplayer in the franchise, but it isn't quite what the rumors have suggested," Guesdon said. "With player feedback at the heart of our approach, we're exploring ways to bring the community in earlier so we can shape the experience together. The team is incredibly passionate about what they're building, and their work reflects our broader goal of offering a wider variety of experiences within the Assassin's Creed universe."
I personally fell off the Assassin's Creed train a while ago. I think the last game I fully played was Black Flag, so that remake is cool to see. But it sounds like a lot of stuff is still ongoing with lots of work, including the Netflix live-action series.
Are you excited for any of the Assassin's Creed plans Ubisoft revealed? Let us know in the comments.
