Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, January 7, 2026 5:56 PM Fortnite's latest collab with an adult animated series that's somehow still going is none other than South Park       You know what South Park feels like to me? It feels like randomly waking up in the middle of the night, looking around your bedroom as you think "cripes, it's still not morning yet?" A feeling of waiting for the inevitable, the end, or the beginning. Not so much the contents of the show, none of that needs all that much thought, more so its very existence, which is now apparently transplanting itself into Fortnite. Read more

Undeniably beloved by many, it has fallen victim to that whole franchising thing, having received an entry only in 2024 via Life is Strange: Double Exposure, a sequel game that was perhaps a little bit too messy.

Siliconera Wednesday, January 7, 2026 5:00 PM FGO Global Gets Fate/Samurai Remnant Event       The global version of Fate/Grand Order finally got the celebratory Fate/Samurai Remnant Waxing Moon Chronicles event on January 7, 2026, and this FGO crossover comes about two years after the Japanese version debut in January 2024. It adds a banner with the two new Servants Minamoto-no-Raikou/Ushi Gozen and Yui Shousetsu, as well as offers event quest participants a free Miyamoto Iori unit. All of them are inspired by the Musou game. This crossover runs until January 27, 2026. The Waxing Moon Chronicles event is identical in both the Japanese and global versions of Fate/Grand Order, with worldwide event covering the Waxing Moon Ritual during the Keian period in Edo, just as in Samurai Remnant. Jin Haganeya, who handled the Fate/Grand Order Arcade crossover event for FGO, returned to write this one. A prologue and the first two main acts should be available immediately, and additional acts through 16 will show up over the next few days.  Here's the official trailer.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jfqOKgF-Mw There's also an additional trailer going over the main characters. These are SR Saber Miyamoto Iori, Saber Yamato Takeru, SR Caster Yui Shozousetsu, and SSR Avenger Minamoto-no-Raikou/Ushi Gozen.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbysSyNJHvs There are also individual trailers for their Noble Phantasms.

Siliconera Wednesday, January 7, 2026 4:00 PM FFXIV Fanfest 2026 In-Game Shirts Shown       To go along with the physical Final Fantasy XIV FanFest 2026 shirts and merchandise, Square Enix confirmed we will see digital, in-game versions of the t-shirts in the FFXIV Online Store. This will match the Aunt Tii's Tacos design. Prices weren't mentioned yet, but a handful of screenshots appeared to show what we can expect.  The in-game FFXIV FanFest 2026 shirt looks almost identical to the one that is being sold in real-life. The front features the Aunt Tii's Taco's logo with Fat Cat and taco against flowers, and the back features a design with three Fat Cats, two tacos, and a flag banner. There are two major differences. One is that the left sleeve in real life has a Final Fantasy XIV 2026 Anaheim Fan Festival logo in white on it. That doesn't appear in-game. The design in the front is also in English in real-life, but in Eorzean in the MMORPG.  Here are the first official images, and I included photos of the actual $34.99 shirt from the Square Enix Store so you can compare the two. Images via Square Enix In addition to the initial photos showing the in-game design, Square Enix also shared another screenshot showing customization options in-game. People who get the FFXIV FanFest 2026 shirt will be able to dye it. They can also wear it in normal, form fitting, and oversized ways. The image showed it on different species and body types too. Image via Square Enix Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the FFXIV Fan Festival 2026 will take place in Anaheim, California between April 24-25, 2026.

Destructoid Wednesday, January 7, 2026 5:37 PM Fortnite v39.20 release countdown: Exact date and time       The first major Fortnite update for the new year is coming soon in the form of v39.20, and there's plenty of new content in store. Earlier this year, Epic Games revealed the annual update roadmap for Fortnite. Hence, we have known the release date since, but this countdown will help you stay in touch with the upcoming update. Table of contents Fortnite v39.20 update countdown What to expect from Fortnite v39.20 update Fortnite v39.20 update countdown The Fortnite v39.20 update goes live globally on Friday, Jan. 9, across all platforms. There's little chance for a delay, and the following countdown will expire once the update goes live. [hurrytimer id="1162657"] The countdown is based on the following timings. 1am PT 3am CT 4am ET 9am UTC 10am CET This is the usual schedule that Epic has been following for all major updates in the last few months. However, it's worth noting that the time when the servers go live will differ across regions. There will be a prior maintenance as well, when Fortnite and all its modes will be completely unavailable. What to expect from Fortnite v39.20 update The first update of the new year is themed around South Park, and here are a few highlights to look out for. South Park themed skins South Park Mini Battle Pass OG Chapter 1 Season 7 Super Styles Chapter 1 Battle Pass Super Styles Blitz mode and map update Reload update Reload loot pool update Plenty of new cosmetics New jam tracks New emotes, available in the shop and pass. New weapons Unvaulted weapons It will be interesting to find out how the South Park-inspired cosmetics appear in-game. There will be skins based on all major characters, including Stan, Kyle, and Kenny. The pass will be great for those who are looking to add a bunch of cosmetics to their collection. I am also expecting certain quests themed around the South Park collab, along with new NPCs that will be on the map. For now, all we have to do is wait for the update to go live on Friday.

Destructoid Wednesday, January 7, 2026 5:01 PM All Redleaf keycard locations in StarRupture       The CRFHSRB Redleaf keycards, required for opening the Redleaf Abandoned Base, can be immensely useful in StarRupture if you're looking to find lucrative rewards. The Redleaf Abandoned Base has hidden treasure that you can find. However, you'll first need to find the three keys, along with an additional access card. This guide will help you to find them all. Table of contents Redleaf Abandoned Base location in StarRupture Redleaf Override Access Card location Dr. Ellis' Security Clearance card location Dr. Diaz's Security Clearance Card Location Eng. Perkins' Security Clearance Card location All Redleaf Abandoned Base loot in StarRupture Redleaf Abandoned Base location in StarRupture The Redleaf Abandoned Base is located in the northeastern part of the map. I have marked the keycard locations in the image below. Image via SRDB. Remix by Destructoid Once you're in the base, you'll need to find three keycards and one additional override access card. Eng. Perkins' Security Clearance Card (P) Dr. Ellis' Security Clearance Card (E) Dr. Diaz's Security Clearance Card (D) Override Access (OA) Redleaf Override Access Card location Image via Creepy Jar This is the first item you need to find. The access card is located on the top of the large red building in the middle area. The red building is pretty easy to spot, and you have ot use the platforms to reach the top. The access card will be on a dead body, along with some more loot. Dr. Ellis' Security Clearance card location Image via Creepy Jar From the first spot, look down, and you'll find a small red-colored room on the ground. It will have red-colored stripes on its side. Unlock the door and get the first blue card. Dr. Diaz's Security Clearance Card Location Image via Creepy Jar Exit the room, and take the stairs on your left. Keep moving to your left, and be careful about the Goliath. You can either engage it, but the best option is to use your sprint to find a blue building. Go through the main door and take the stairs to reach the second floor. Dr. Diaz's Security Clearance card will be on the table. Eng. Perkins' Security Clearance Card location Image via Creepy Jar The final keycard can be found on the western edge of the location. Keep moving to the western side based on the marked location on the image above. You'll come across another small building with a coat of blue paint, where the security clearance keycard will be on the table. All Redleaf Abandoned Base loot in StarRupture The Redleaf Abandoned Base is one of the most dangerous areas to loot. To enter the base, climb up the red building beside it and reach the top floor. Then jump to the blue building, and you'll come across a couple of locked doors. Place the three keycards in the correct slots. This will open the second of the two locked doors, and here's what you'll obtain.

Destructoid Wednesday, January 7, 2026 3:54 PM These 5 games turn 5 this year, and I can prove it's not too late to enjoy them       Remember that five years ago, many of us were finally transitioning out of the COVID-19 lockdown? We were learning again how to talk to each other outside laggy Zoom calls with the resolution of a 2009 webcam—and enjoyed some really great games, too. While we had industry-defining hits like Hades and Forza Horizon 5, many other games that didn't have such a huge impact became so relevant that they are still worth playing after five years of new game releases with flashier graphics and new mechanics. And we'd better start getting used to playing older games. The artificial intelligence apocalypse leading to RAM shortages and rising computer costs (via IDC) has been so relentless that I believe most of us will soon be unable to afford a PC upgrade. Doomspeak aside, I've played this list of new games and new editions released in 2021 and can attest that they're timeless and absolutely worth playing today. And if you don't take my word for it, their latest Steam reviews back me up. Disco Elysium - The Final Cut Disco Elysium gives you full control of the narrative. Image via ZA/UM. If you've played Baldur's Gate 3 and enjoyed the narrative possibilities and how the world reacted to your choices, you will love Disco Elysium. This noir, story-first detective RPG prioritizes role-playing and campaign construction through a complex skill tree where each trait affects how you respond to dialogues and solve puzzles. They're also affected by the political alignment mechanic that your character can navigate between communism, fascism, ultraliberalism, and moralism. Disco Elysium presents text in a vertical, smartphone-shaped box, which already felt more natural in 2021 than reading the traditional horizontal boxes of other games. I wish every other developer had made that change, but it didn't happen. I'm not a completionist, but those who are will have a lot to work toward in Disco Elysium. I've finished it in a little over 27 hours and got only six out of 45 achievements, so there is a lot more to explore in future runs. The Final Cut edition was released in 2021 and received 88 percent positive reviews on Steam over the last 30 days, showing that new players also like the game. Inscryption Inscryption will keep you hooked. Image via Devolver Digital Inscryption is a tense, spooky deckbuilder with escape-room mechanics. You start the game as if you were booting another game inside it, which leaves you trapped in a poorly-lit cabin with a mysterious figure. You have to defeat it in a card game for a chance to escape, which is just the beginning of this meta-adventure. Inscryption has mechanical and narrative twists that make it the best title for a deep and engaging story in a card game. It's the highest-rated game on this list because its dark narrative is incredible and ties well with the many gameplay mechanics, which feel like part of the story. If you're looking for a challenging one-shot deckbuilder, Inscryption is a great choice. But if you want a story that will keep surprising you... well, Inscryption is a great choice. Building overpowered cards and getting through the story in the process is amazing, even if you're not into card games. Inscryption got 96 percent positive reviews on Steam in the last 30 days. The game has an ending, so you don't have to keep playing it over and over to unlock new challenges like in roguelike deck builders. Griftlands Griftlands makes a card game the best way to build its narrative. Image via Klei. Griftlands is a roguelike deckbuilder with role-playing that's above average for the genre. I recommend you first see the game as a story-driven title and think of the cards as your way of interacting with the world. You have Battle and Negotiation decks that represent combat and persuasion story choices, so you have some freedom to explore the world in different ways across runs to unlock slightly different storylines. Slay the Spire and Monster Train fans like me will have fun with Griftlands for a couple of dozen hours. Just don't jump into it expecting endless gameplay, because the story gets stale after you explore it enough times. Still, I have 33 hours of playtime on it because I've played it late into their beta and early into their release, so I'm sure you can also have a very long playing history in it as well. Griftlands has 91 percent positive reviews from recent Steam reviews despite having a low player count today. Loop Hero Loop Hero will demand a lot from you. Screenshot by Destructoid. Loop Hero is a roguelike RPG that blends automatic battles, deck building, and tile placement. Your character is stuck in a looped road, and you can modify tiles in this path to add monsters, buildings, and resources to interact with when you pass through that area again. As in many roguelikes, you have to find a character build and a combination of tiles that will give you a run long enough to advance to the next stage and eventually win. I've logged 57 hours in Loop Hero and got all 50 achievements, which is more than I remember. I swear I'm really not a completionist, but the gameplay of unlocking new tiles, getting new gear, and making the best combination of tiles is so interesting and addictive that it's easy to commit to exploring the game in full. Running my save from five years ago reminded me that Loop Hero is complex even outside of the main gameplay systems. It features alchemy, crafting, and base-building elements that all affect your future runs. I'm not surprised it got 88 percent positive reviews on Steam in the last 30 days. Mass Effect: Legendary Edition A great game to start playing if you like sci-fi. Image via EA. I've just finished playing the first game in the Mass Effect series through the Legendary Edition and loved it, like 90 percent of the people who played it in the last 30 days on Steam. This sci-fi RPG has great character customization and many role-playing options, which were the main reasons I enjoyed it so much, despite not being a big fan of science fiction. I admit adding a 19-year-old game on this list is cheating, but this edition was released on Steam in 2021, and it's thanks to it that I've played a Mass Effect game for the first time. It comes with full Steam Deck support, which was a big reason I got the game. The original Mass Effect runs well on the Deck and is a great introduction to the franchise. In this universe, humanity can travel to distant planets and galaxies thanks to the special mass relay technology it discovered on Mars. As the protagonist, you have to solve intergalactic problems with different beings like the Geth and Reapers while maintaining relationships with allied and neutral races. I had never played a BioWare game in full, and now I understand that the role-playing and freedom to be good, neutral, or evil, and building your character accordingly, is part of why players love old-school games the developer published, like the first Mass Effect. The Legendary Edition is the ideal version to commit to if you end up loving the first game, since it also comes with the rest of the original trilogy.

Wait, stop running away from me, I'm not bringing you old news reheated like the last of the (now decidedly whiffy) Christmas turkey leftovers, I come bearing fresh details like… a freshly cooked turkey that is seasoned with patch notes and battlepass infographics.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, January 7, 2026 2:01 PM Jet Set Radio Future on PC? It's not a guarantee, but a new project may lead to such a, well, future       You know what I might have most about games? There's no universal way to play them. You buy a DVD, you buy a DVD player, and aside from maybe a region lock issue you're as good as gold. If I buy Snowboard Kids for the N64, and I don't have one of those, well, I'm up a particular creek. That has meant that many a game over the years has been stuck to particular platforms, one of the most surprising being Jet Set Radio Future, to this day a game that's still only available on the original Xbox, and the Xbox 360 through backwards compatibility. But! Thanks to some techy wizards, that might change in the near future. Read more

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, January 7, 2026 12:59 PM Sandfall Interactive have some light regrets over how they handled Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's final boss       We've all been there. You're at the end of a game, you've done all of the side quests, you're strong as hell, finally read to take on the final boss, confident you can finish this quest you started 30-100 hours ago. Only to find that the fight is a piece of piss because, whoops! You overlevelled yourself by too much. This was seemingly the case for a number of people in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and now the game's lead designer Michel Nohra has expressed some regret for those who had that experience.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, January 7, 2026 12:13 PM Ubisoft close the studio behind Assassin's Creed Rebellion days after the developers vote to unionise       Ubisoft are closing Ubisoft Halifax, the Canadian developers of mobile games Rainbow Six Mobile and Assassin's Creed Rebellion. This is strictly speaking outside our mandate as a PC gaming site, of course - I fear smartphones like Hell itself, and only ever communicate over long distances using homing pigeons - but it's all part of Ubisoft's wider transformation into a heavily Tencent-backed publisher, and the nasty twist is that Ubisoft Halifax had only just voted to unionise.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, January 7, 2026 11:57 AM Turns out you have Helldivers 2 to thank for Arc Raiders moving away from a free-to-play model       A few years ago, it would have been pretty easy to imagine Helldivers 2 releasing as a free-to-play game. It is a live service game after all, most of those are free-to-play because studios want to reduce the barrier to entry. Instead, it launched as a paid-for, $40 game, a far cry from free, but not the $80-$100 releases we're seeing more and more of. And it's because Arrowhead made the decision to do so that Arc Raiders developer Embark did the exact same thing for their own shooter. Read more

Has the gauge filled up to one bar yet? No. Well, back to jogging around it is. Time to politely salute the horrific mutant trying to attack me as I double back past it for the third time. Ooh, we have a bar. Right, time to whip out my pistol and - BANG, BANG. Shit, I forgot to wander up to point blank range and so have hit absolutely nothing.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, January 7, 2026 11:33 AM Deep Rock Galactic's Season 6 secret release date looks to have been cracked in minutes by astute diggers       Ghost Ship Games could learn a thing or two from Rockstar about hiding secrets in cobwebs. While RDR2's spider-spun mystery continues to vex seasoned easter egg hunters, the message behind a piece of Deep Rock Galactic promo art – posted on the game's Discord server earlier today – was seemingly spotted in about twenty minutes. Still, at least it looks to be a handy bit of info: a release date for its big Season 6 update. Read more

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, January 7, 2026 10:47 AM Creature collector RPG EvoCreo brings its turn-based monster battling to Steam, a decade on from mobile       I found the opening 15 minutes of EvoCreo's demo to be a laugh riot, mostly because I accidentally named my character "Help", not "Helen". This lent a certain urgency to all the routine scene-setting and tutorial dialogue. Help, Farmer Whatshisname is looking for you! Help, I'm adding a map feature to your tablet! Help, there are over 170 Creos to discover! Given that RPGs can be sluggish at first, I think I'm going to adopt this as standard practice going forward. Nothing gets you over the opening hump like the impression that everybody you speak to has just escaped from a burning house. Read more

Valve's list of the highest-grossing games on Steam in 2025 has emerged from the great mists, and in a nice revelation, features a larger number of fresh releases than last year's ranking. That's alongside all of the moderately to quite old stuff which more folks keep hopping on the train of with every passing 12 month period. Read more

Siliconera Wednesday, January 7, 2026 4:00 PM FFXIV Fanfest 2026 In-Game Shirts Shown       To go along with the physical Final Fantasy XIV FanFest 2026 shirts and merchandise, Square Enix confirmed we will see digital, in-game versions of the t-shirts in the FFXIV Online Store. This will match the Aunt Tii's Tacos design. Prices weren't mentioned yet, but a handful of screenshots appeared to show what we can expect.  The in-game FFXIV FanFest 2026 shirt looks almost identical to the one that is being sold in real-life. The front features the Aunt Tii's Taco's logo with Fat Cat and taco against flowers, and the back features a design with three Fat Cats, two tacos, and a flag banner. There are two major differences. One is that the left sleeve in real life has a Final Fantasy XIV 2026 Anaheim Fan Festival logo in white on it. That doesn't appear in-game. The design in the front is also in English in real-life, but in Eorzean in the MMORPG.  Here are the first official images, and I included photos of the actual $34.99 shirt from the Square Enix Store so you can compare the two. Images via Square Enix In addition to the initial photos showing the in-game design, Square Enix also shared another screenshot showing customization options in-game. People who get the FFXIV FanFest 2026 shirt will be able to dye it. They can also wear it in normal, form fitting, and oversized ways. The image showed it on different species and body types too. Image via Square Enix Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the FFXIV Fan Festival 2026 will take place in Anaheim, California between April 24-25, 2026.

Siliconera Wednesday, January 7, 2026 3:00 PM One Piece Grandline Journey Nami and Boa Hancock Figures Return       A few years after their original release, Bandai Namco announced the One Piece Grandline figures of Nami and Boa Hancock are now back again in Japan starting on January 8, 2026. This pair can be displayed alone or together and are once again showing up first as prize figures in Japanese arcades. Taito crane games already offer them. Since the Banpresto Amazon storefront sold the originals, we should see these two worldwide eventually as well. Like the original release, both debuted at the same time. Nami and Boa are each wearing outfits from after the series' timeskip. Both of them also feature a similar metallic paint job. This means Nami's blue jeans are shiny, as is Boa's purple dress. The deck stands can interlock, and one example photo offers an idea of scale when placed alongside each other. Boa is taller at almost eight inches (20cm), due to the way she sits on the railing. Since Nami is standing and leaning on it, she is only just over six and a half inches tall.  Here are the latest photos showing how both the Nami and Boa Hancock One Piece Grandline figures look. Both of them can be displayed with their ship deck stand parts, though someone could also remove them to have them leaning or sitting on books or a shelf on their desk.  Images via Shueisha and Bandai Namco Prior to this, Bandai Namco shared another figure based on a character from the series. A new SH Figuarts one of Monkey D. Luffy puts him in an LA Lakers uniform. That will appear in 2026. The One Piece Grandline figures of Nami and Boa Hancock are back in Japan as of January 8, 2026. The original anime is on Crunchyroll and Netflix. Viz Media handles the manga in English. The live-action adaptation is on Netflix.

Siliconera Wednesday, January 7, 2026 2:00 PM Bearbrick Tamagotchi Figure and Model Announced       As part of the 30th Anniversary Tamagotchi Exhibit, Dai-Tamagotchi-Ten, there will be pre-sales of a special Tamagotchi virtual pet Bearbrick model and an exclusive figure. These appeared as the event started at the Roppongi Museum in Tokyo on January 7, 2026. It's unknown if we could possibly see the virtual pet available worldwide.like other Tamagotchi releases. The figure features designs inspired by Bandai Namco's virtual pet. This is a 400% version of the collectible, so it will stand at about 11 inches tall (280mm). The head is designed to resemble the kind of blue Tamagotchi shell with a clock face design, while the body features a pattern with different characters like Mametchi, Kuchipatchi, and Oyajitchi. That costs 19,800円 (~$126).  With the Bearbrick Tamagotchi, someone gets a functional virtual pet that features a carrying case and shell with design based on the collectible. The outside case is translucent and is shaped like the bear's head. The case is also translucent, but it features colorful chibi Bearbrick characters around the edges with Mametchi and Kuchipatchi. That is 7,150円 (~$46). In addition to the pre-sale, the site mentioned it will be more widely available on January 10, 2026 in Japan. Here's how both items look: Images via Medicom and Bandai Namco The Dai-Tamagotchi-Ten 30th anniversary exhibition will be open until February 2, 2026, and the special Tamagotchi and Bearbrick virtual pet-themed merchandise will be at the Roppongi Museum while supplies last. The most recent major model of the virtual pet is the Tamagotchi Paradise, which is available worldwide. The post Bearbrick Tamagotchi Figure and Model Announced appeared first on Siliconera.

Siliconera Wednesday, January 7, 2026 1:00 PM Nintendo Switch Hulu Support Ending       Nintendo and Hulu shared the final date for support for the Switch Hulu streaming service app. The cut-off date on both Nintendo's support site and Hulu is now February 5, 2026. The Hulu site also noted the application hasn't been available to download since November 6, 2025, but if you already owned it at one point it should still be available to grab from the eShop. [Thanks, Wario64!] The Hulu Switch streaming app first showed up worldwide in November 2017. It functioned as you expected. If you subscribed to the service and were connected to the internet, you could watch shows on your system. The Switch 2 did not support it. Nintendo has had a record of its platforms supporting various streaming services. The Switch was the fourth to be compatible with this one. Hulu apps, in the past, also appeared on the 3DS, Wii, and Wii U. Naturally, support for all three also ended. It stopped working on the Wii in January 2019, then on the other two in February 2019.  Hulu streaming app support for the Switch ends on February 5, 2026. There's still no word yet on whether or not we'll see a similar app for the Switch 2 and when one could potentially appear. The post Nintendo Switch Hulu Support Ending appeared first on Siliconera.

Siliconera Wednesday, January 7, 2026 12:00 PM Myethos Honkai: Star Rail Firefly Figure Wears Her Extra Costume       Myethos announced that its Gift+ figure of Firefly from Honkai: Star Rail in her Spring Missive costume will debut in September 2026. That will cost ¥7,260 (~$46). It is possible to order direct from Myethos, as the company offers worldwide shipping through Buyee. It isn't showing up on places like Amazon or Big Bad Toy Store yet.  Since this is based on the school uniform costume for Firefly, the pose for this Honkai: Star Rail figure is a bit more casual. She looks like she's skipping, and her right arm holds a bouquet of flowers. Her left holds a school bag. She also has school loafers on to go with her uniform. This figure is 1/8 scale, so it stands at over eight inches tall (206mm). There are no additional pose parts. Here are the initial photos showing how she looks: Images via Myethos and HoYoVerse The Spring Missive costume debuted in 3.4 back in July 2025. You must spend real cash to get 1,680 Oneiric Shards to buy it for her, and you can only use it if you own that character in-game.  The Gift+ Honkai: Star Rail Spring Missive Firefly figure will release in Japan in September 2026 before appearing worldwide, and the character's rerun banner is currently live in the game until today. The game is on the PS5, PC, and mobile devices.  The post Myethos Honkai: Star Rail Firefly Figure Wears Her Extra Costume appeared first on Siliconera.

Siliconera Wednesday, January 7, 2026 11:00 AM Granzella Confirmed It Couldn't Pay Employees, Hoping to by Spring 2026       Granzella CEO Takeshi Nagura has published an official press release where he confirmed that the company could not pay its employees due to poor business performance between 2023 and 2025. The CEO also promises to resolve the issue and complete the due payments by the spring season of 2026. Nagura added that Granzella lacked the necessary capital needed to pay employees due to poor performance from May 2023 until May 2025. Following consultations with the employees, the company deferred their salaries for May, June, and August 2023. It claimed that it managed to complete payments to employees who still remained in the company in May 2025. Some of the employees had since left Granzella to establish their own companies due to this issue. The outstanding salaries owed to them have yet to be completely resolved, and Nagura promises to finish it by the spring season. The publication of this press release followed a major news report on the preceding day. The Kanazawa Labor Standards Inspection Office filed charges against Granzella, Gyakuten Games, and [R]studio to the local public prosecutor's office after receiving claims that 46 employees did not receive nine months' worth of salaries between 2023 and 2024, totaling over 18 million yen (or over $115,000 with the exchange rate in early January 2026). Previously, in October 2022, Granzella announced two new releases for the R-Type series. It managed to release the enhanced shooting game R-Type Final 3 Evolved for PlayStation 5 in March 2023 as scheduled. However, R-Type Tactics I-II Cosmos had a lengthy delay from its original release window of Summer 2023. The latter turn-based strategy game is instead slated for release for the PS5, PS4, Switch 2, Switch, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on March 12, 2026.

Siliconera Wednesday, January 7, 2026 10:00 AM Review: Temirana Is a Hilarious Otome Game       If Ichicolumn, Idea Factory International, and Otomate's Temirana: The Lucky Princess and the Tragic Knights is any indication of things to come in otome games in 2026, we are in for a very good year indeed. This is a fantastic visual novel that has it all. The character designs are great. The story is fun. It's both dramatic and hilarious. As for characters, I think the bachelors will easily win folks over, the supporting cast actually has personality, and the heroine is strong and smart. It's just wonderful. Temirana is a kingdom with, well, a lot of issues. There's a caste system that restricts what certain groups can and can't do. An obsession with luck permeates society. A foretold calamity, which regularly strikes the nation, is happening that year under Dirine's Moon. In the midst of it, the third princess of the royal family comes of age, is expected to form her own knight order, and stay alive despite being hated by her family and cursed. On the plus side, Cecilia has a divine beast named Benetti Astella who is constantly by her side as an advisor and friend and an inexplicable light flashes when she needs to beware of life-threatening danger or should be aware of important individuals. After meeting the prince Josephy, farmer Adel, noble Tobias, blacksmith Milan, and Tobias' servant and former orphan Kiya on the day of the Helis Duelm dueling tournament and seeing light when encountering each of them, she becomes determined to recruit all five to her knight order for the good of the kingdom and her survival. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nahWI_ifCXQ I would say Temirana is a romantic comedy, but that would do the game a disservice. That is a big part of what's going on here. But it's also a drama, what with the mystery surrounding Cecilia's curse, the gods, and the calamity and dealing with it. Even some of the more humorous elements, such as Toby's whole nearly dying thing, end up with more in-depth explanations. And while Kiya's condition does mean issues with short-term memory, it's handled much more gracefully and respectfully than I expected. Plus Cecilia is a princess who wants to deal with the caste systems and internal diplomacy issue, which come up in Adel and Josephy's routes. So it can be quite serious at times.  However, the different bachelors also feel well-realized. Their personalities are each fantastic and don't really fall into any predetermined "tropes." They aren't just fulfilling conditions like "this is the shota" or "this is the oresama," even though at a glance Kiya or Josephy might look like they are there to fill those spots. The localization is well-handled and each of the love interests' stories feel valid as a result. I did have my favorites, as I really enjoyed time spent with Josephy, Milan, and Toby, but each route is worth pursuing. Screenshots by Siliconera I also mentioned earlier that the supporting cast includes some interesting folks as well. Eric and Alison end up assisting with guarding Princess Cecilia, and I loved both of them. The head of the house Nilda, aka surrogate mother for the heroine, is hilarious. The first and second princesses are also complete jerks, but I really appreciated the over-the-top villainy from both of them. It helps with rooting for Cecilia and her knight order.  The fact that we're not just dealing with the romantic element, but also the survival part, also makes Temirana feel a little more involved than the typical otome game. There are times when Cecilia's life and safety will be in danger. There will then be an action you need to take to survive. While this is a standard visual novel, it helps a bit with engagement. Especially since you'll need to think about if the riskier decision is perhaps the optimal choice considering who's with her and the current situation. Screenshots by Siliconera Since this is also an Otomate game, all the quality of life otome features are in Temirana. We get a chapter select for jumping into routes. There are flick touch screen control options. A gallery is included with access to the BGM, event CGs, events, and mini dramas from the main menu once they're unlocked.  Temirana: The Lucky Princess and the Tragic Knights ended up being a fantastic otome game that blended romantic comedy with drama. The cast is wonderful. The story it tells is captivating. It avoids the traps of falling into archetypes. There are all the quality of life features we expect from a visual novel. It's a sound game, and I even think people who aren't into otomes may enjoy it. Temirana: The Lucky Princess and the Tragic Knights will come to the Nintendo Switch outside Japan on January 13, 2026.  The post Review: Temirana Is a Hilarious Otome Game appeared first on Siliconera.

Don't spend it all in one place, as you'll need some money on hand to activate the automatic self-buyback should you go down." LTM: Power Armor Royale "Ready to dominate your foes with the help of some Power Armor? Hold on there, Vault Dweller, you're gonna have to charge up that Fusion Core first. Every Operator deploys with a Fusion Core, but it'll take some work to power it up enough to step into the suit.

Destructoid Wednesday, January 7, 2026 12:20 PM ARC Raiders has a hacker problem, according to streamers who actively seek out PvP at every turn       Have you ever run into a hacker in ARC Raiders? The biggest multiplayer game of the moment has an issue with cheating, apparently. I personally haven't found any cheating players. At least, I've never suspected anyone of being a hacker. But my social media timelines lately have been filled with players complaining about facing hackers in the extraction shooter, and the complaints have been getting more frequent of late. Screenshot by Destructoid An explanation for this may be that ARC Raiders uses a sort of "aggression-based matchmaking," according to a recent GamesBeat interview with Embark CEO Patrick Söderlund, so the game will match you up with players based on how likely you are to engage with others. I'm generally a pretty peaceful Raider (unless I am feeling quite devious), moving about the map trying to do my quests or pick up loot for whatever the current goal may be, so I doubt I'd be the kind of player who'd end up running into a cheater. But for those who sweat it up in trios and chase down "goop" with their friends, or other sweaty streamers, it appears that you're more likely to run into others who are hacking or cheating. Thankfully, ARC Raiders has a mechanic where you will sometimes be given back loot that you lost if you lost to someone who is found to be cheating in some way. Still, though, according to players like Ninja or Nadeshot, the hacking is out of control. "My experience on ARC Raiders over the last week has been hell," Nadeshot said in a recent lengthy post on X/Twitter. "Just to be clear, I love this game and think it's already moved in to my personal top 10 all time. But the egregious amount of cheating genuinely might be worse than peak Call of Duty. I'm not trying to bring negativity to the game because I know this type of dialogue can spread on socials like a disease but I genuinely cannot get through an entire raid without a Steam profile that is level 0 or an account that has multiple game bans and VAC bans on record." Is this just streamers whining to whine, or is there a legit hacker problem in ARC Raiders? According to one commenter on the YouTube video below from Ninja, the content creators are not alone in these specific struggles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6Klrpu7xmI "Thank god you're making a video on this," they said. "The game is literally unplayable if you're half decent cause you get queued with hackers at least 1/3 games." Have you seen any cheaters in your ARC Raiders games? Let me know in the comments below, because I'm curious to see if any issue is as widespread as some are making it out to be, or if it's just a loud minority on socials. Update on Jan. 7 at 12:45pm CT: Shroud has echoed the sentiments of other streamers, saying the hacking situation is "really really bad" and opining he may take a break until something is fixed. https://twitter.com/JakeSucky/status/2008969384073810136 The post ARC Raiders has a hacker problem, according to streamers who actively seek out PvP at every turn appeared first on Destructoid.

Destructoid Wednesday, January 7, 2026 9:55 AM How to get Festive Cocoa Beans in Disney Dreamlight Valley       A mysterious new portal has opened up in the Plaza, granting you access to a snowy wonderland in Disney Dreamlight Valley's The Winter Floating Festival event. There's much to get done there, but before you can get going, you'll need to find some Festive Cocoa Beans. Almost all event tasks require you to make something that needs this ingredient, but you're not given any guidance on how to actually acquire it. If you're struggling to find what you need, here's how to get Festive Cocoa Beans in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Table of contents Where to find Festive Cocoa Beans in Disney Dreamlight Valley How often do Festive Cocoa Beans respawn in Disney Dreamlight Valley? Where to find Festive Cocoa Beans in Disney Dreamlight Valley Screenshot by Destructoid Festive Cocoa Beans can be found on the ground around a red and white picnic blanket on The Winter Floating Festival event island. They're an event-exclusive variant of regular Cocoa Beans, so you must be on the special island to find them. This ingredient is tough to find even when you know what you're looking for, so if you're having trouble tracking them down, here's a step-by-step breakdown of how to locate them. Start at the wishing well in the center of the island. There's only one well on the whole island, so it's an easy landmark to track down. From the wishing well, head through the small, frosty archway right between the massive ornament balls and the purple cottage. This archway leads over to the Chocolate Fountain puzzle. Walk toward the Chocolate Fountain puzzle, then make a right as soon as you reach it. Head through another frosty archway to walk onto a stone path, then stop. Locate the Kid Snowman a few feet in front of you, which is one of the ones you need to count during the Pillar puzzle. Head through the small gap right behind the Kid Snowman, which is an opening right between the cottage that resembles Gaston's house and the icy castle that looks like Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf's home. Walk over to the picnic blanket to find Festive Cocoa Beans on the ground all around it. Screenshot by Destructoid How often do Festive Cocoa Beans respawn in Disney Dreamlight Valley? New Festive Cocoa Beans spawn about every five minutes. Up to five Festive Cocoa Beans can be present at any given time, so to make room for more to appear, you'll need to ensure there are fewer than five already present. If you want to farm lots of this resource at once, equip two foraging Companions and leave your game open while standing by the blanket. Whenever new Festive Cocoa Beans spawn, your loyal critter friends will grab them for you, ensuring fresh ones spawn in frequently. Festive Cocoa Beans are a crucial item to have lots of if you want to complete the entire The Winter Floating Festival event. You need them to brew all Festive Hot Cocoa recipes, which can then be used to feed the Frosty Rabbit and complete the Chocolate Fountain puzzle.

Destructoid Wednesday, January 7, 2026 9:12 AM How to solve The Winter Floating Festival Pillar puzzle in Disney Dreamlight Valley       There are all kinds of secret puzzles hiding around The Winter Floating Festival island in Disney Dreamlight Valley, and tackling all of them is crucial for finishing the full event. One of the many trials you'll encounter is the Pillar puzzle. While all other puzzles have instructions hidden around the island, this one doesn't, so it can be tough to determine what needs to be done for it. If this trial has you stumped, here's how to solve The Winter Floating Festival Pillar puzzle in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Table of contents How to complete The Winter Floating Festival Pillar puzzle in Disney Dreamlight Valley How many snowmen are there in The Winter Floating Festival in Disney Dreamlight Valley? The Winter Floating Festival Pillar puzzle solution Disney Dreamlight Valley The Winter Floating Festival Pillar puzzle reward in Disney Dreamlight Valley How to complete The Winter Floating Festival Pillar puzzle in Disney Dreamlight Valley Screenshot by Destructoid To complete the Pillar puzzle in The Winter Floating Festival event, you need to correctly match up the symbols on the pillar with the corresponding number of snowmen on the island. This process can be a bit tricky to solve, as there are four different types of snowmen represented by four unique symbols. These snowmen are: The Mother Snowman, represented by a bow symbol. She's wearing a pink bow on her head and has a pink scarf wrapped around her. The Dapper Snowman, represented by a top hat symbol. He's wearing a light green hat and holding a festive red and green umbrella. The Kid Snowman, represented by a classic cap. He's a short snowman wearing a light grey cap and a grey scarf. The Father Snowman, represented by a beanie. He's wearing a blue and red beanie with a white ball on top and has a blue scarf around him. How many snowmen are there in The Winter Floating Festival in Disney Dreamlight Valley? Screenshot by Destructoid To solve the Pillar puzzle, you need to venture around the island and count how many of each snowman there are. The island is fairly large and cluttered, so this can be a tricky process to tackle on your own. If you're struggling with it, here's where to find each one and how many there are. There is just one Mother Snowman, which can be found in the middle of the circular train track in the area enclosed by a candy cane fence. There are two Dapper Snowmen, which can be found behind the frosty pond in the candy cane area and behind the festive winter food stall. There are three Kid Snowmen, which can be found under the street light right by the Pillar puzzle, in front of the castle that resembles Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf's house, and right outside the candy cane fence area. There are four Father Snowmen, which can be found under the gazebo right by the Pillar puzzle, near the icy Woody and Buzz Lightyear statue, in front of the ice skating rink, and by the purple cottage near the wishing well in the center of the island. Screenshot by Destructoid The Winter Floating Festival Pillar puzzle solution Disney Dreamlight Valley Based on the number of snowmen around the event island, the Pillar puzzle solution is Bow, Top Hat, Cap, and Beanie. You need to line up each symbol with the corresponding Roman numeral that represents the total number of snowmen wearing each type of accessory, which means it needs to be: I – Bow Mother Snowman II – Top Hat Dapper Snowmen III – Cap Kid Snowmen IV – Beanie Father Snowmen You can walk up to each section of the Pillar puzzle and interact with the blocks underneath each number to rotate them. Keep rotating each one until the symbols are in the correct order, at which point your prize will spawn in a red bag nearby. Mine appeared behind the Pillar, so it took me a bit to find. The Winter Floating Festival Pillar puzzle reward in Disney Dreamlight Valley Screenshot by Destructoid Completing the Pillar puzzle in The Winter Floating Festival event unlocks the Dapper Snowman furniture item as a reward. This snowman is present on the island, so if you want to check it out, you can find it behind the icy pond in the area surrounded by a candy cane fence. The snowman is right next to the polar bear statue. The post How to solve The Winter Floating Festival Pillar puzzle in Disney Dreamlight Valley appeared first on Destructoid.

Destructoid Wednesday, January 7, 2026 9:00 AM How to solve The Winter Floating Festival Chocolate Fountain puzzle in Disney Dreamlight Valley       The Winter Floating Festival has arrived in Disney Dreamlight Valley, unlocking a festive winter wonderland you can visit through a special portal in the Plaza. This event has lots of tasks to tackle, including the Chocolate Fountain puzzle. The entire event is focused on working through tricky puzzles hidden around the island. Each one is unique and can be tough to solve on your own, so here's how to solve The Winter Floating Festival Chocolate Fountain puzzle in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Table of contents How to complete Chocolate Fountain puzzle in Disney Dreamlight Valley What to put in Chocolate Fountain in Disney Dreamlight Valley Chocolate Fountain puzzle solution Disney Dreamlight Valley Chocolate Fountain puzzle reward in Disney Dreamlight Valley How to complete Chocolate Fountain puzzle in Disney Dreamlight Valley Screenshot by Destructoid To complete the Chocolate Fountain puzzle in The Winter Floating Festival event, you need to repair the fountain by placing a specific combination of items inside it. There's a yellow book on the island that tells you exactly what to place inside, but it's not near the fountain, so there's a good chance you may be confused about how to tackle it. What to put in Chocolate Fountain in Disney Dreamlight Valley The Chocolate Fountain can be repaired by placing a certain amount of each Festive Hot Cocoa recipe inside it. All three recipes call for lots of Festive Cocoa Beans and other ingredients, so you'll need to stock up on quite a lot of them to tackle this puzzle. Chocolate Fountain puzzle solution Disney Dreamlight Valley The solution to the Chocolate Fountain puzzle can be found inside a glowing yellow book sitting on a hot cocoa stand close to the red bar by the fire pit. The correct amount of each Hot Cocoa to put in the fountain is: 15 Festive Blueberry Hot Cocoa 10 Festive Cherry Hot Cocoa 20 Festive Mint Hot Cocoa Screenshot by Destructoid Because of how much Festive Hot Cocoa you need to cook up for this task, there's a good chance you'll be working on this quest over the course of a few days. You can tackle the event puzzles in any order you like, so there's plenty of time to slowly gather everything you need for this one. Chocolate Fountain puzzle reward in Disney Dreamlight Valley For repairing the Chocolate Fountain, you get to claim your own Winter Chocolate Fountain as a reward. It looks the same as the repaired version on the island, which means it's a golden fountain with chocolate pouring out of it instead of water. There's nothing else quite like this item, and it's exclusive to the event, so it's certainly worth unlocking. Festive Hot Cocoa is also needed to feed the massive Festive Rabbit hopping around the island, so you'll be cooking quite a lot of it to finish this task. There's plenty more to get done after completing this task, so if you're seeking some additional event festivities to enjoy, you may want to tackle the Pillar puzzle next.

One Festive Cocoa Bean – Can be harvested from The Winter Floating Festival island near the red and white checkered picnic blanket. They spawn on the ground around it. One Blueberry – Can be picked from bushes around the valley. There are five bushes in total, three of which initially start off in the Forest of Valor biome and two of which originate in the Dazzle Beach region. You may have moved them elsewhere, though, and you can locate Blueberries under the Collection page to see where you put them if you forget. There's also one special bush on the event island near the frozen pond. One Milk – Can be purchased from the pantry in Chez Remy or Tiana's Palace for 230 Star Coins.

There's also a Cherry tree close to the river on the event island. One Milk – Can be purchased from the pantry in Chez Remy or Tiana's Palace for 230 Star Coins.

Destructoid Wednesday, January 7, 2026 9:00 AM How to feed The Winter Floating Festival Frosty Rabbit in Disney Dreamlight Valley       There's a strange, massive Rabbit on the loose, and this creature must be fed to solve one of the key event puzzles in Disney Dreamlight Valley's The Winter Floating Festival. The Frosty Rabbit has strange tastes, though, so it can be tricky to actually get done. When you come across this animal, there's a good chance you'll have no idea how to actually satiate its tastes. If you're stumped by this task, here's how to feed The Winter Floating Festival Frosty Rabbit in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Table of contents Where to find Frosty Rabbit in The Winter Floating Festival in Disney Dreamlight Valley What does the Frosty Rabbit eat in Disney Dreamlight Valley? Where to find food for Frosty Rabbit in Disney Dreamlight Valley What is the daily Hot Cocoa in Disney Dreamlight Valley? Where to find Frosty Rabbit in The Winter Floating Festival in Disney Dreamlight Valley Screenshot by Destructoid The Frosty Rabbit is a massive creature that can be found hopping all around The Winter Floating Festival island. This creature doesn't have a fixed location like all other puzzles do. Instead, they're constantly on the move, which can make tracking them down rather tough. This Rabbit is a large, light blue animal with some small frosty accents. It's a larger version of the critter Companion that was previously obtainable in the Frost and Fairies Star Path event. Although the Rabbit moves around frequently, they are rather large, making it relatively easy to pinpoint their location if you stand still and tilt the camera around. Tracking down and feeding this creature is a similar process to feeding the Ghostly Zero Fox critter in The Haunted Floating Festival event, so if you participated in that one, you should have a solid idea of what to do here. What does the Frosty Rabbit eat in Disney Dreamlight Valley? The special giant Frosty Rabbit enjoys specific variants of Hot Cocoa. This is different from the usual favorite food of Rabbits back in the classic valley, as those ones enjoy Carrots. The desired Hot Cocoa drink changes on a daily basis, too, so feeding this critter can be quite difficult. Screenshot by Destructoid Where to find food for Frosty Rabbit in Disney Dreamlight Valley The food you need for the Frosty Rabbit cannot be found around the island and instead must be cooked. There are three red chests hidden around the event island, each of which contains one of the Festive Hot Cocoa recipes. The Festive Blueberry Hot Cocoa recipe can be found in a red chest sitting between the Hot Cocoa stand by the long red bar counter and the festive food stall. The Festive Mint Hot Cocoa recipe can be found in a red chest a few feet away from the wishing well in the middle of the event island, near the archway that leads to the fountain puzzle. The Festive Cherry Hot Cocoa recipe can be found in a red chest sitting back by the spinning carousel near the candy cane fences and icy pond with a polar bear statue behind it. To make all of the Festive Hot Cocoa drinks, you'll need to obtain Festive Cocoa Beans. What is the daily Hot Cocoa in Disney Dreamlight Valley? Screenshot by Destructoid The Frosty Rabbit's desired Hot Cocoa beverage of the day is displayed on a small sparkling menu close to the purple cottage on the event island. It blends in with the scenery quite well, so if you're having trouble figuring out what the daily beverage actually is, here's the complete schedule for feeding this creature. Monday – Festive Mint Hot Cocoa Tuesday – Festive Cherry Hot Cocoa Wednesday – Festive Blueberry Hot Cocoa Thursday – Festive Cherry Hot Cocoa Friday – Festive Mint Hot Cocoa Saturday – Festive Blueberry Hot Cocoa Sunday – Festive Cherry Hot Cocoa The post How to feed The Winter Floating Festival Frosty Rabbit in Disney Dreamlight Valley appeared first on Destructoid.
