We'll get reasons to return to Resident Evil Requiem in the future, as Capcom confirmed the team is working on "story expansion" DLC. It took to social media to share a statement from Director Koshi Nakanishi. While there's no release window for the add-on yet, in the next few months patches will add new features like a minigame and photo mode to the most recent entry in the series.
Nakanishi's statement started with thanks to people for buying the latest entry. This is because the game passed over five million copies sold before it'd been even available for a month. He also pointed out that while the latest patches worked on bug fixes, future ones will bring new content to the game. While the Resident Evil Requiem "story expansion" DLC is something that's further off, he specifically cited photo mode and a minigame as arriving sooner. May 2026 was mentioned around the same time as that latter surprise. This means we could see the photo mode appear sooner.
Here's the full Koshi Nakanishi statement from social media:
The expansion isn't the only thing we don't have a release date for yet. There are also amiibo of both Leon S Kennedy and Grace Ashcroft planned. Those are expected to arrive in Summer 2026. There's no exact release date yet.
Resident Evil Requiem is available for the Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC worldwide, and the story expansion DLC is in development.

In honor of Mario (Mar10) Day, Nintendo shared new trailers for both the Switch 2 version of Super Mario Bros Wonder and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. The latter appeared first during a dedicated Nintendo Direct the evening before, while the latter showed up today. The game debuts on March 26, 2026, and the movie is out on April 1, 2026.
First, here's the final The Super Mario Galaxy Movie trailer that highlights story elements and characters. It appears to begin with the Star Festival, with Bowser Jr demanding Mario and Luigi free Bowser after Peach's castle is taken. Both the brothers and Peach spring into action, and we see the princess meet with Wart (played by Luis Guzman). A Birdo appearance is confirmed, Lumas appear, and the Penguin power-up showed up.
As for the Super Mario Bros Wonder Switch 2 trailer, it is an overview kind of video that shows what's new in both the main game and Bellabel Park multiplayer section. This also means more footage of Rosalina, who's added for this version, and the Koopalings showdowns. We also get to see the new Flower Transformation power-up and how its ability works.
Super Mario Bros Wonder Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park will be on the Switch 2 on March 26, 2026 both via a full release and Switch upgrade pack, and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie debuts on April 1, 2026.

Square Enix has announced that it will launch a live stream featuring the soundtrack of Chrono Trigger. The stream will appear on YouTube to celebrate the 31st anniversary of the game, which first appeared in Japan for the Super Famicom (SNES) on March 11, 1995.
This stream is slated to run non-stop for around 33 hours. However, take note that once the stream has ended, Square Enix does not plan to keep its archive.
The Chrono Trigger anniversary music live stream will launch simultaneously worldwide at the following times, depending on the time zone:
Square Enix had formally published the Chrono Trigger soundtrack on Spotify, based on the Nintendo DS version of the game. The company also more recently released Piano Soundscape and Orchestral arrangement albums based on the same soundtrack.
Following the inaugural release on the SNES, Chrono Trigger also had ports on the PlayStation and Nintendo DS. For ongoing platforms, Chrono Trigger is readily available on iOS, Android, and PC via Steam.

Sanrio announced the start date for the 2026 character ranking popularity poll that tracks worldwide enthusiasm for its mascots. Voting starts on April 9, 2026, with people able to take part on the official site. That will remain open for over a month until May 24, 2026. Like in past years, we'll probably see the 2026 winner appear on more merchandise and tie-in events.
First, here's the full schedule for the Sanrio Character Ranking 2026, which includes the interim popularity poll places. This is a means of gauging how well some are doing and where your votes should perhaps go.
The theme this year is "Smiling Ovation." This means the official art for this year's poll dresses everyone like cheerleaders. Each character in the first key image is wearing a similar uniform, though in their signature colors. Hello Kitty, My Melody, and Little Twin Stars are holding pom poms, and Pompompurin and Kuromi are using megaphones. As the 2025 winner, Pompompurin is up front with Hello Kitty. (Cinnamoroll took first place in 2024 and 2023.) The initial site also noted that there will be a new category for votes this year, but Sanrio didn't note what it might be yet.
Voting for the Sanrio Character Ranking 2026 runs between April 9, 2026 and May 24, 2026, and the final popularity poll results come in on June 28, 2026.

Despite being a big fan of survival horror, Fatal Frame remained a blind spot for me. It wasn't until I played the new Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake that I got to appreciate what made the series and this entry so special and influential. Despite my initial apprehension for such rereleases, this feels like a more complete version of what Fatal Frame series creator Makoto Shibata intended back in the PS2 era. It stays very true to form, even if feels a bit bloated compared to its lean, original version.
Mio and Mayu Amakura are identical twin sisters. One day, while visiting the forest where they used to play as children, the siblings are spirited away to the long-lost village of Minakami, where identical twins are at the center of the village's dark, complicated, and cursed legacy. Playing as Mio and armed with the Camera Obscura shortly after reaching the village, we as the player are tasked with defending our sister Mayu, and finding a way out of Minakami. Coming into the game, I already knew about the plot and its secrets. Even so, I was still deeply impressed with the interpersonal stories of Minakami village and that of the Crimson Sacrifice ritual.
Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake is a visually stunning rendition of the original 2003. The original fixed camera angles are gone, which is always a bit sad as a fan of that style. However, the translation to third person over-the-shoulder feels seamless, even though it's a very different adoption from that of the Wii remake. The character models are very expressive and the environments follow suit. The first area where I took control as Mio is lush with vegetation and detail, obscured in a thick darkness with only the sharp moonlight cutting through it.
However, compared to the original, the remake makes some important changes to its visual identity. While doing some research for this review, I noticed that the environments in the PS2 version were a lot more decrepit and dingier. They looked emptier and more threatening. Surely, a result of hardware constraints. The higher fidelity of the remake makes the world look a lot prettier and almost inviting. I didn't mind this change, but I can imagine it being divisive among purists. The trade-off here is the improved lighting. As I advanced throughout the game, the aforementioned moonlight dimmed through clouds and fog and darkness became oppressive. By the end of the game, I was very impressed with the directorial choices regarding the use of color moonlight. Returning fans will also enjoy it. Won't say more.
The visuals go hand in hand with the sound design. Walking around Minakami, I was always under the impression that an extra pair of feet was walking behind me. It's truly unnerving. The sounds of the crickets in the night, the tense ambiance and combat music, and the moans of the wraiths add various layers to the sound, each one a different type of uncomfortable. I played with the Japanese dub, which was gorgeously acted. Likewise, the original ending song "Chou" by Tsukiko Amano is an incredible track and I'm glad they kept it.
While I've talked about visual changes, the gameplay side switches things around as well. Combat in Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake is slow and methodical, but attempts were made at making it more proactive. The Standard, Paraceptual, Exposure, and Radiant filters substitute the lenses of the original, while remixing the properties of its special shots — now done by spending Willpower, a sort of stamina meter. Each one serves one function inside combat and for exploration.
The Paraceptual filter is good for long-range shots, to deal bonus damage to unaware wraiths. The Exposure filter has a fast reload rate, and I changed to it every time to avoid being caught defenseless. But my bread and butter was the Radiant filter and its massive damage — its trade-off being its short range. A caveat is that the colors of the Paraceptual and Exposure filters look ugly, and I would have liked them to be a bit more vibrant and interesting, like the Radiant filter. You can also equip charms, but these truly shine on New Game+ when attempting new endings, as you can equip more than one, and the item shop truly opens up.
I really enjoyed the addition of side stories that flesh out the inhabitants of Minakami village and make it feel more lived in. However, I'm not sure if due to these or other changes to the game, but what was originally a relatively short game took me about 17-18 hours to complete. In that sense, it reminds me of Silent Hill 2 Remake and how that game padded its time a bit compared to its original. On that end, your mileage might vary. On the other hand, the cutscenes and everything regarding the story in Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake is a 1:1 recreation of the original, something that I find an improvement over almost every other recent survival horror remake.
I'm usually a sceptic about remaking influential video games. However, I think Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake walks a fine line between revamping an old title, with its improved systems and added side stories, and keeping everything that made the original PS2 game a special and deeply influential experience at the time. It remains a very special game, and there's more to chew on for fans.
Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake comes to the Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam on March 12, 2026. A demo is available.

The Truth/Lies 1 contract is one of several priority tasks that you can complete for the MIDA faction in Marathon, and it takes place on the Outpost.
The Truth/Lies 1 contract has three tasks. Thankfully, all three tasks can be completed at the Flight Control POI. This guide will help you finish the tasks with minimal hassle.
Table of contents
Marathon Truth/Lies 1 contract walkthrough
The Truth/Lies 1 contract can be broken down into the following parts.
How to acquire a Transponder from the second-floor Flight Control
The first task is to head to the second floor of the Flight Control POI. I have marked the location from where you'll find the entrance. Head inside, and take the stairs to the second floor.
Turn left at the top of the stairs and go inside the room. The Transponder will be lying on a table in this room. It will be highlighted by an objective marker.
How to hack Transponder at first-floor terminal in Flight Control
The next step is to hack the Transponder using another terminal. The terminal is on the first floor; take the same stairs and drop down by one level. You'll find the quest marker, which will guide you to the terminal's location.
Interact with the terminal to hack the Transponder and proceed to complete the final task of the contract.
How to upload malware to dropships outside of Flight Control
The last task is to get outside Flight Control and head to the marked spot. You'll find a wall; cross it, and you'll find a couple of UESC dropships on the otherside.
Go below the dropships to upload the malware, and it will complete the final task and the Truth/Lies 1 contract.

I'm sure most gamers have that one title that just sticks with them throughout the years. Most of us probably have several. You know the type: we stop playing them, even forget about them for a while, but then one day, there it is.
You pick it up to have a quick go, and boom, fifty hours later, you're as hooked as day one and can't get enough.
As someone who plays a lot of games (obviously), I have plenty of these games in my library, but few are more fascinating than Dave the Diver.
I know, it's a story-driven game, and you'd expect a sandbox to have the lead here. If Kenshi 2 were out yet, that would likely be the number one game here. But with the first game starting to really age now, Dave the Diver edges it.
Self-limiting challenges help keep things fun
Every year or so since launch, I revisit Dave the Diver. The art style is so incredibly unique, and the pixel art is gorgeous. And sure, diving down and fishing up whatever you find gets boring after a while, but self-limiting challenges can re-ignite the fun.
One such challenge I like is to set my menu in the morning, then hunt specifically for what I need to make those dishes. Everything else gets ignored. I'll also often time-limit my dives when I can, and try to be in and out within ten minutes.
Finally, in the Sushi restaurant in the evenings, I like to relax and only worry about the menu and the wasabi. It can get pretty stressful when your staff isn't up for the challenge, but you'll just have to spend extra on staff upgrades, as I do.
The best part is the nightmares
What I love most about Dave the Diver is the sheer amount of diligence that went into this game. As far as I can tell, all the fish are based on real-world counterparts. So, unless you're already a marine biologist, you'll have the opportunity to learn all about a whole new world.
I like to look up the fish every time I find a new one, and boy, do some of these creatures fuel my nightmares.
Go ahead, look up goblin shark. Look up frilled shark. See my point?
Okay, so maybe the nightmares it can induce aren't really the best part about the game. It's more the game itself. The loop is intensely satisfying. The daytime fishing is a blast, and running the restaurant at night is a great change of pace.
Dave the Diver has also been getting regular updates, so it being better than I remember (as I stated in the title) isn't all that weird. Finding Balatro in Dave the Diver this year was probably my all-time favorite gaming moment for a long, long while.
And if you don't know what I'm talking about, yeah, a collab means you can play a limited version of Balatro in Dave the Diver, around the time you're unlocking the Glacial Passage.
But enough about me and my love for this amazing game. I'd love to hear from you! What's the top game that you revisit every year? I bet it's Skyrim, isn't it?
Drop it down in the comments and let's compare games, shall we?

Traces of The Seven are scattered all around the island, and finding them is crucial for understanding what's unfolding in the main storyline in Fortnite. One of the missions you'll need to tackle for this asks you to hunt down signs of The Seven.
You're not told any details for where to look, what you need to find, and how to actually interact with the signs of The Seven, so this is a decently tricky mission to work through. If you're having trouble with this one, here's how to hunt down signs of The Seven in Fortnite.
Signs of The Seven locations in Fortnite
There are four spots around the Fortnite island that have signs of the Seven. All of the locations you can venture to for this task are fairly spread out, so working through it takes quite a bit of traveling. Here are the four spots included.
At all of these spots, the signs of the Seven you're looking for are small, sparkling green and white boxes. Once you're in the right area, a diamond exclamation point icon will appear, pinpointing the exact location of this item. It looks the same as The Visitor's ship log, so if you've already worked through that quest, you should have a solid idea of what you're seeking here.
Hunt down signs of The Seven in Fortnite
To complete the hunt down signs of The Seven quest, you need to visit two of the four available spots and interact with the audio logs found there. Once you find one of the signs of The Seven, approach it and select the button that appears by the "Listen to audio log" option. This button varies by platform, but is always displayed by this text once you're by the log.
Repeat the same process once more at one of the other available quest locations to finish this mission. Any two spots included in this quest work, but if you want to get it done as quickly and efficiently as possible, I recommend visiting the signs of The Seven at the Storm Station Landmark and the area between Tiptop Terrace and Wonkeeland.
These two spots are the closest to one another, and also generally the least populated. The other two spawn spots are at popular, main POIs with lots of loot, which means you'll often run into many enemy players there. To ensure you're able to focus solely on this quest, it's best to avoid the Lethal Labs and Classified Canyon logs in favor of the other ones.
If you're up for some more tough tasks after checking off this one, there are plenty of other missions to tackle around the island. Next, you might work on collecting food items to demonstrate your survival skills, checking in with The Order or The Visitor about the base, scouting a potential location for an Elites safehouse, and using Treasure Cannons to collect items for the base.

How does the Crystal Sphere work in Slay the Spire 2
The Crystal Sphere is actually a mini game where items are hidden behind the blue circle. You'll have two options: Big Divination and Small Divination.
There are two ways to get picks.
Which option should you pick with the Crystal Sphere in Slay the Spire 2
First, you have to decide whether to spend Gold or go the Debt route. The Gold route is safer, since the Debt route can be risky (especially in higher Ascensions). While you do get fewer picks, there's almost no risk. At worst, you'll end up with relics that might not offer any advantage.
The Debt card also can't be played in your hand, and you'll lose 10 Gold at the end of your turn. If the battle lasts for a long time, you can lose a fair amount of Gold. Also, the only way to nullify the Debt card is to discard it, which can only be done by a few characters, like Silent.
If you spend Gold, it's best to go for Big Divination because you have just three picks. Hence, you'll want to reveal as maximum number of items as possible from your limited picks. If you go with the Debt route, choose Small Divination. Since you have more picks, you'll want to take a measured approach with your picks.
Ultimately, it depends on the situation of your run and how much risk you're willing to take.

Becoming famous is one of the toughest but most common goals you'll encounter in weekly challenges throughout BitLife. If you want to check off these tricky trials, becoming famous is a must.
You aren't likely to stumble into fame by accident, as achieving it typically takes quite a lot of effort and careful strategizing. Whether you're hoping to become a star for fun or need to become one for a specific challenge, here's how to become famous in BitLife.

How to be famous in BitLife
You can become famous through certain professions, using social media, or dating someone who is already famous. There are lots of different ways to achieve fame in BitLife, so it can be tricky to decide which one to use.
Overall, working hard is the most essential part of becoming famous. You'll need to go above and beyond at whichever method you choose to gain fame, as you'll only achieve it after many years of effort. It's also crucial to raise all of your key stats, including Happiness, Health, Smarts, and Looks, and keep them high, as you'll need to be extraordinary to achieve recognition.
If you can choose the path you want to take early on and work on skills related to it, your odds of finding fame are a lot better. For example, if you wish to become a famous actor, it's a great idea to ask for acting lessons early on and look for any other acting activities you may come across throughout life, like an acting club, to keep developing it.
Easiest way to become famous in BitLife
By far the easiest way to become famous is by dating a celebrity, as you simply have to win the affections of one person to start down the road to stardom. You can easily meet a celebrity using the Celebrity Dating App option under the Love tab.
It does cost 100,000$, though, so you'll need to make some money first, but there's no other direct, guaranteed path to stardom like this one. To maximize your fame, you might consider working on a profession that can lead to fame, like being a writer or a model, to earn the necessary funds. This ensures you gain fame from multiple areas, allowing you to become a true star.
All ways to become famous in BitLife
Here are all of the different ways we've been able to become famous in BitLife. If we uncover any additional options while playing in the future, we'll add them here. For now, though, these are the best paths to choose for fame.
Most of the time, it works best to combine multiple methods, like posting on social media frequently while also being a professional athlete. You'll also want to ensure you're working as hard as possible at whatever you choose to tackle, whether it be putting in extra hours at your profession or posting often on social media.
How to increase your fame in BitLife
Once you're famous, you can boost and maintain your fame by navigating to the Activities page in the bottom right corner, selecting the Fame tab, and choosing any of the available options. Here, you'll find the means to write a book, do a commercial, pose for a photo shoot, and go on a talk show. All of these options help you increase your fame. Continuing to work hard at your chosen profession that helped you gain fame and posting on social media also helps.
Becoming famous is a crucial step in many trials, like the Kahlo My Life challenge and the Gatsby challenge. If you're up for more tough tasks, consider learning how to get a restraining order and how to survive a shipwreck next.

When tackling challenges in BitLife, you'll often be asked to acquire specific assets throughout your life, including various houses, cars, and other such items. One of the tougher ones to add to your collection is a pueblo home.
Finding a specific type of house is a rather tough task, as there are many to choose from and the available options fluctuate frequently, similar to real life. If this goal has you stuck and unable to progress in a challenge, here's how to own a pueblo home in BitLife.
How to get a pueblo home in BitLife
To obtain and own a pueblo home, you need to find and purchase a listing with this exact title under the Real Estate Brokers page in BitLife. This is a fairly tough task, so here's a full breakdown of how to work through it.
There's a decent chance you won't see any pueblo homes available to buy right away, as they seem to be quite rare. If this is the case, you'll need to refresh the available options. To do so, you can click the Refresh Inventory option at the bottom of any Real Estate page, close and reopen the app, or age up. All three methods achieve the same effect, so choose whichever one works best for you.
How easy or difficult it is to buy a pueblo home varies entirely based on luck. For me, it took 15 refreshes to encounter my first one. As long as you keep checking, you'll eventually encounter one, so keep at it until you find what you're seeking.
How much does a pueblo home cost in BitLife?
The price of pueblo homes varies quite a lot in BitLife. I've seen different ones listed for around 35,000, 65,000, and 85,000$, so the range for them seems to be between 35,000 and 90,000$. They're not super cheap, but they are much more affordable than many of the higher-tier options.
Obtaining a pueblo home is one of the key goals you need to complete during the Kahlo My World challenge, so now that you know how to get it done, you're ready to tackle this trial. And if you're up for some additional tasks, consider also working on completing the Gatsby challenge, learning how to swim, finishing the Crazy Ex challenge, and attempting to survive a shipwreck.

Many BitLife challenges you'll encounter are inspired by iconic individuals, films, music, and other such parts of pop culture. The Kahlo My World challenge asks you to follow in the footsteps of the renowned painter Frida Kahlo.
You've got to make it big like she did to succeed at this trial, which is a fairly tough task to get done. If you end up stuck on any part of this adventure, here's how to complete the Kahlo My World challenge in BitLife.

BitLife Kahlo My World challenge walkthrough
The Kahlo My World challenge is a bit of a shorter one than usual, with only five key goals to tackle.
Be born a female in Mexico City in BitLife
First up, you need to start life as a female born in Mexico City. Unless you get oddly lucky and are already playing a life where both criteria are met, you'll probably need to start a fresh character to get going. When making your character, be sure to select both the female and Mexico City options.
Become a painter in BitLife
Your second goal is to become a painter. Keep aging up until you are 18, at which point you can get to work applying for this profession. Unlike most other jobs, there are no requirements to be met to become one outside of being at least 18.
When you're ready to become a painter, select the Occupation button in the bottom left corner, choose the Jobs tab, and look through the listings to find the painter profession. Odds are, it won't be there the first time you look. If this is the case, you'll need to refresh your options. You can do so by either closing and reopening the app or aging up to the next year.
Own a pueblo home in BitLife
Your third mission is to own a pueblo home. Checking off this task requires quite a lot of money and luck, so although it's listed third, you may want to hold off on it until later on in this trial if you don't have the means to tackle it right away.
To obtain a pueblo home, click on the Assets page near the bottom left corner, choose the Go Shopping... option, and select any option under the Real Estate Brokers section. Browse the available listings until you spot
If there's no pueblo home available for purchase, you'll need to refresh the available listings. You can do so by clicking the Refresh Inventory option on the real estate page, closing and reopening the app, or aging up.
The price range of pueblo homes varies quite a bit, as I've seen them cost anywhere from 35,000 to 90,000$. They seem to be fairly rare, as it took me about 15 refreshes to get one to come up. Luck plays a massive role in how easy or tough this part of the challenge is, so just keep checking until you find what you need.
Marry a painter in BitLife
Next up, you need to meet and marry a painter. This goal is easiest to tackle once you're already in the painter career, as you'll be able to interact with co-workers who are also in the same field. Once you're a painter, click on the Job button in the bottom left corner, select the Painter tab, choose the Co-Workers section, and find any character who has the painter title next to their name.
After you've decided who you want to woo, get to work connecting with them. You can do so by complimenting them, having a conversation with them, befriending them, giving them gifts, and otherwise working on building a solid friendship. When you think you've achieved good standing with them, ask them out to make things official. Then, continue building the relationship until you're eventually ready to get engaged and married.
Become famous in BitLife
The final mission in this challenge is to become famous. Unfortunately, you can't actually use your painting prowess to check off this goal, so you have to resort to other means to gain stardom.
There are many different ways to achieve fame, but the easiest ones that work well alongside this challenge are social media or marrying a celebrity/royal character. For the social media method, make accounts across all platforms and make posts frequently to gain followers and steadily increase your viewership, which eventually leads to fame.
For the marrying route, you'll first need to divorce your painter partner. Then, select the Activities button in the bottom right corner, choose the Love tab, and select the Celebrity Dating App. Choose your desired celebrity traits and pay the fee of $100,000 to find your match. Once you're in a relationship with a celebrity, you'll become famous, thus checking off this goal and completing the entire Kahlo My World challenge.
If you're up for tackling some more tricky BitLife tasks, there are plenty to consider working on after this one. Next, you might try to complete the Titanic challenge, get a restraining order, complete the Gatsby challenge, and attempt to survive a shipwreck.

WGB Tuesday, March 10, 2026 9:55 AM Scott Pilgrim EX is a loving spiritual successor to the cult classic beat-'em-up. With fantastic pixel art, an incredible soundtrack and chaotic co-op combat, it's one of the best modern retro brawlers around — even if some repetition and slightly wonky balancing stop it from reaching the tippity-top of the retro brawler revival. |
