NIS America announced it picked up the Gemdrops and Broccoli musical JRPG Etrange Overlord. It will release in early 2026 worldwide, with a March 26, 2026 release date pinned down for Japan. We'll see it on the Switch, PS4, PS5, and PC.
Like Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure, Etrange Overlord will be a JRPG with songs coming up during event scenes. Etrange von Rosenburg was supposed to be married to the Edelstein Kingdom prince, but ends up in hell because people think she was behind a royal assassination attempt. As its newest resident, she decides to take over the underworld by fighting in action-RPG battles in different regions to take control of them. We'll get more allies as we do, with some being folks like her maid Sweetia who also ended up down below or actual demons such as her new butler Cackie. While it is a single player game, up to four people can fight together online in set stages.
Here's the reveal trailer for the new game:
The official website is open now. It confirms there will be no English dub. This means the voice acting and all the songs for the musical segments will be in Japanese. There will be English and French subtitle options.
Etrange Overlord will come to the Switch, PS4, PS5, and PC in Japan on March 26, 2026, with a worldwide debut set for early 2026.

Pop Mart announced new Naruto: Shippuden Battle Against the Akatsuki figures of 12 characters from the anime and manga series will debut later today. With the exception of a Naruto that is one of the two "secrets," they all represent different villains from the anime and manga. Sales open at 6pm PT/9pm ET on November 6, 2025, with each blind box costing $20.99 and a full case of 10 being $209.90. While the two "rares" aren't guaranteed, getting the full box would mean you'd get no duplicates.
Editor's Note: The two "secret" characters in the Naruto: Shippuden Battle Against the Akatsuki figures collection both feature spoilers.
Each of these figures is just over three inches tall, with some of the taller ones like Hidan and Zetsu likely being closer to four inches. They all feature chibi versions of members of the Akatsuki. The 10 members of the organization that we watched Naruto face throughout the series are present here, and their poses often reflect their unique abilities. For example, Kisame is riding atop a summoned shark, and Sasori has a puppet. The Pain figure appearing is the Deva Path version of the character. As for the Naruto, he is in Sage Mode for his.
Here's the full list of the characters you can get. Odds weren't mentioned for the two secrets.
Here's the official art showing all of them:
This is the second recent line of anime and manga figures to appear at Pop Mart. Last week, the company released an Evangelion Super Mini Figure line based on the Rebuild of Evangelion movies.
The Naruto: Shippuden Battle Against the Akatsuki figures of characters will be available at Pop Mart starting on November 6, 2025, the manga is handled by Viz Media, and the anime is streaming on services like Crunchyroll and Netflix.

Toei reported that Kotaro Kaji, a suit actor in Kamen Rider ZEZTZ, suffered injuries on November 6, 2025 while filming an action scene. He will undergo treatment at the hospital for about two weeks.
In a press release, Toei explained that the incident took place during morning rehearsals. The scene Kaji was rehearsing required him to kick off against the wall while hanging, but he fell from a height of 2.5 meters. Toei immediately halted rehearsal and filming, and it is investigating the accident in more detail. It will also re-evaluate its safety measures and filming procedures to prevent similar accidents from happening in the future.
Though the press release only mentions a skull fracture, it implies that he suffered other injuries. At the end of the statement, Toei states that it will send people to visit Kaji in the hospital, as well as apologizes for worrying everyone. It is accepting questions about the incident, and you can send any inquiries to keisen_koho@toei.co.jp.
Kamen Rider ZEZTZ is the 36th entry in the long-running Kamen Rider series, and it premiered on September 7, 2025. It is also the first Kamen Rider series to have a global simulcast. Kamen Rider ZEZTZ follows Baku Yorozu, a lucid dreamer who dreams of fighting monsters called Nightmares in the secret organization, CODE. When this dream actually comes true in real life, he gains the ZEZTZ Driver, which allows him to transform into Kamen Rider ZEZTZ.
Kamen Rider ZEZTZ is available to watch on YouTube.

Good Smile Company opened up pre-orders for the Zenless Zone Zero Miyabi Hoshimi Nendoroid, which will show up in Japan in July 2026 and worldwide around Q4 2026. She'll come with a number of accessories, including different versions of her Tailless katana. There's also a bonus mug if you buy direct from that company. It costs ￥7,700/$52.99.
As usual, the Miyabi Nendoroid figure starts with three face plates. One features a neutral expression. Another features her with a more pensive look and eyes half-open. The third one features closed eyes and makes it look like she's eating. In addition to the Tailless that can be posed floating alongside her, she comes with the sword to wield. She also comes with a piece of melon on a fork she can hold. The bonus mug accessory makes it look like she's holding a yellow cup with a fox face on it.
Here are the initial photos of the figure with all the accessories.
She is the second Zenless Zone Zero Nendoroid of a Hollow Special Operations Section 6 character. There's one of Harumasa Asaba too. That also won't be out until 2026, as he's expected to launch in Japan in May 2026 and in the US in Q4 2026.
The Zenless Zone Zero Miyabi Hoshimi Nendoroid will debut in July 2026 in Japan and Q4 2026 worldwide. Pre-orders close on December 17, 2025. The game is available on the PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, and mobile devices.

New Umamusume: Pretty Derby Trainee and Support Card banners appear today, and they mean a Lucky Tidings Matikanefukukitaru character alt and two new SSR cards for Riko Kashimoto and Rice Shower are here. Riko is the new character from the Unity Cup: Shine On, Team Spirit Career, which also launched today. Those banners and that Career should be live now, and the new character and cards will join the general pool after that ends.
Aside from the new look and an array of skills that focus on boosting Velocity, this version of Matikanefukukitaru isn't all that different from the original one. She's still got an A rank for Turf and F rank for Dirt tracks. At the start, she's best at running Medium and Long races, but you could pretty easily get that C in Mile up to an A via inheritances. She still starts with an A in Late Surger and B in Pace Chaser for her strategy, though her moveset this time around makes it easier to go with a Pace mindset right away. The original has a 20% Stamina bonus Growth Rate and 10% Power one, but this one has a 10% bonus in Stamina, Guts, and Wit.
This Matikanefukukitaru's Unique Skill is Bountiful Harvest. That increases her Velocity when she's pressured and in a Late Surger or End Closer position in the second half of a race. (If she's far enough back as a Pace Chaser, this could trigger too.) If you invest in her, you could also pick up the Velocity-increasing Inside Scoop, Overwhelming Pressure, and Innate Experience.
You can see the Cygames Lucky Tidings Matikanefukukitaru Umamusume: Pretty Derby infographic below:
As for the two new SSR Support Cards, they are Happiness Just Around the Bend: Rice Shower, which is a Power type, and the Friend type card Planned Perfection: Riko Kashimoto. The former offers the possibility of getting the Swinging Maestro Stamina skill from a Career Event. (That skill is also available via the Super Creek Trainee and Stamina SSR Support Card and is considered one of teh best ones in the game.) Riko, as a Friend card, adds Failure Production and Energy Cost Reduction at level 30 and the possibility of getting the Rushing Gale ability. (The Dream Big: Tokai Teio SSR Speed Support Card also features that skill.)
You can get a closer look at the two new Support Cards in their infographics below:
Umamusume: Pretty Derby is available for the PC and mobile devices, and the Unity Cup: Shine On, Team Spirit Career, Lucky Tidings Matikanefukukitaru alt, and new cards are available now. They are the first of many November 2025 events.

Now that the 2.4 Persona 5: The Phantom X update is live, Futaba "Oracle" Sakura from the original game is available as a five-star Support character. She is also featured in the Crossroads of Fate: Pyramid Arc event, and it is possible to use paid Meta Jewels to buy the Special Outfit: Maid Futaba Set costume for her. Her limited Phantom Idol Contract banner is available until December 6, 2025.
In Persona 5: The Phantom X, Oracle is a Navigator type character who provides Support for a team. She has Necronomicon as her Persona. Some of her notable abilities include Pentest Complete, which temporarily decreases all enemies' defense and could provide the Data Storm buff for allies briefly if she maxed out Analysis Progress, and Vulnerability Found, which increases the amount of damage one enemy takes for a limited time, increases the rate at which her Analysis Progress fills, and possibly buffs everyone with Data Storm if Analysis Progress is full when this is used. When Data Storm is in effect, allies deal more damage when hitting enemy weaknesses and Oracle can use Data Link Established to implant a weakness in all enemies based on one of the party members' elements.
Here's a trailer showing all of those abilities off.
The Crossroads of Fate: Pyramid Arc event involves going through a special event that involves Oracle as a featured character, and it is inspired by a Palace from the original Persona 5. She comes up explaining Mysterious Lifeform X appeared. As you go through that new Palace and its boss fight, you'll get Ancient Rebel Coins and Joy Medals to redeem in the shop for featured rewards. While the special version of this event ends on November 25, 2025, it can remain without its scenes after that. As for the outfit, it dresses the character as a maid. It costs 2,880 Meta Jewels right now, but that price will go up to 3,200 on December 6, 2025.
Here's the trailer for that:
You can see the full stream for the 2.4 update below:
Persona 5: The Phantom X is available for PCs and mobile devices, and the Futaba "Oracle" Sakura banner is available until December 6, 2025. As she is a limited character, she won't join the general pool after that.

PEAK's Roots update introduces some of the most helpful items we've seen in the game so far. From flags that give you respawn checkpoints to the mysterious Book of Bones with transformative powers, reaching the mountain's peak just became even easier.
Table of contents
How to find the Book of Bones in PEAK
The Book of Bones is a Mythical item that can appear within Ancient luggage bags and at any Ancient Statue atop a level's peak. Each time you open this luggage bag or interact with the statue, there's a chance you'll find the Book of Bones as a reward.
The only downside is that PEAK has multiple Mythical items you can obtain through these two methods. There's a chance you'll instead find anti-rope, cure-all, and other resources instead. If you're looking for the Book of Bones for the Applied Esoterica badge, you may have to reset your expedition a few times until you find it.
You'll know you've found the Book of Bones when you see a purple book with purple swirling particles coming out of it. These particles still appear even if the book is in your backpack, so you won't be able to hide it from your friends.
What does the Book of Bones do in PEAK?
The Book of Bones has two main purposes, depending on whether you're in a singleplayer or multiplayer lobby:
Becoming a skeleton gives you immunity to nearly every damage type at the cost of a hefty curse effect that takes up around a fifth of your stamina bar. You'll also become much more vulnerable to fall damage, zombie attacks, and dynamite explosions.
While you'll still be able to survive zombie bites without much trouble, fall damage can now kill you very easily, even from short distances. Using items like balloons and a parasol can help reduce the damage you take, but you'll still need to watch out just in case. You can also plant a Checkpoint Flag if you're about to take some risks and think there's a chance you'll fall to your death.

The Roots update in PEAK has added mushrooms of all types, and you can even jump on some of them to travel across the biome.
While mushrooms in the Roots biome have different uses (some are pretty dangerous for your health), you can also use them to guide your movement. If you're in the mood for some high-flying action, you can jump off them and try to bounce at least 40m in the air to earn the Mycoacrobatics badge.
How to obtain the Mycoacrobatics badge in PEAK
There are different ways of obtaining this badge, but the requirement is always the same: jump at least 40m off the ground from a mushroom. The easiest way to complete the objective is by using Bounce Fungus.
When you pick up this mushroom, it shrinks in size. Plant it in the ground, and it will grow back. Make sure to place it in a location with an open clearing. This will let you jump high enough.
To hit the 40m mark, you'll have to select a point from where you're going to jump on the Bounce Fungus. This point needs to be as high as possible from where the fungus is. The greater the distance, the higher the jump. That said, you should be careful not to land outside the Bounce Fungus, as you can take fall damage and even die in the process.
You can do the same with other mushrooms that spawn in Roots. However, you won't get a similar height on your jump, which makes it hard to obtain the Mycoacrobatics badge. Of course, you can also consume certain mushrooms to unlock new in-game effects. The Shroomberries, a brand-new addition, have random effects that rotate daily. You can consume all five of them on the same run to unlock the Advanced Mycology badge.

At 12 years and counting, it's felt like a lifetime. But the wait for Grand Theft Auto 6 just got even longer.
To the surprise of few, GTA 6 has been pushed out of its release date of May 26, 2026, and will now launch just about six months later. Rockstar Games made the unfortunate announcement on X/Twitter today.
"We are sorry for adding additional time to what we realize has been a long wait, but these extra months will allow us to finish the game with the level of polish you have come to expect and deserve," the company said.
GTA 6 will now launch just over one year from now on Nov. 19, 2026, potentially pitting it against games like Call of Duty and other fall/winter releases. But given the anticipation and excitement for this long-awaited sequel, it's likely that we will see other games push their release dates to avoid it soon.
"We want to thank you again for your patience and support," Rockstar said. "While the wait is a little longer, we are incredibly excited for players to experience the sprawling state of Leonida and a return to modern day Vice City."
This is the second time GTA 6 has suffered an official delay. It was initially supposed to launch in 2025, but was pushed to next May to allow for more development time and polish.
Given the assumed scale and reported development cost of the game (over $2 billion), it makes sense for Rockstar to make sure that this game launches in a proper state, even though it could probably be broken upon release and still break records. And so for that, I respect the delay and wish the devs the best in making this game as good as it possibly can be, because the expectations are probably insurmountable.

Crossplay is one of the greatest innovations in gaming, bridging the gap between various proprietary platforms and allowing players to venture out together no matter their device.
But in first-person shooters, some simply do not like it, especially PC players. Aim assist and various other advantages afforded to console players to "even the playing field" tend to go a little overboard, making the controller superior to mouse and keyboard.
Thankfully, the PC is home to mods and tinkering, so if you want to disable crossplay, here is how you can do so.
How to disable crossplay in Battlefield 6 (PC only)
While there is no button to turn crossplay off in Battlefield 6, unlike in many other shooters these days, it can still be done, and all it takes is some text file editing in the game's installation directory.
To disable crossplay, follow these steps:
And that's it; the next time you fire the game up, you will only be matched with players on PC, with no console users in sight. This should also only apply to the official queue, as Portal has its own user-set rules that may or may not allow various controller-based advantages such as aim assist. Therefore, if you don't want to go through the hassle of disabling crossplay, merely find a Portal server that did it for you.

The JKV Employee Access card allows you to get some notable loot in ARC Raiders, and it works in the same fashion as any key. You'll have to first obtain it on one of your raids, and then go to the required location to use it. Here's how you can do so.
Table of contents
Where to get the Buried City JKV Employee Access card in ARC Raiders
The Buried City JKV Employee Access card is a random spawn that happens at a couple of locations in Dam Battlegrounds.
Ruby Residence, situated in the northwestern part of the Dam Battlegrounds, is well-known for spawning random keys. There are plenty of rooms and containers to loot, so you'll have to search thoroughly.
The Research and Administration building is another excellent spot to visit if Ruby Residence doesn't bear any luck. There are many floors, rooms, and containers to loot. The spot attracts plenty of ARC enemies, so always be careful about those. I have added the locations and images of both buildings so you don't get lost on the map.
The exact spawn location of the keys and their type will vary based on luck. I haven't managed to find any keys on certain raids, so that's also a possibility.
Where to use the Buried City JKV Employee Access card in ARC Raiders
Once you manage to find the access card, you'll want to head off to the Space Travel building in the northern part of the Buried City map. I have marked the location on the map for your convenience, but it's really hard to mix up.
You'll want to take the main stairs and go up to the fourth floor. Then turn right, and the first room will be where you can use the JKV Employee Access card. Once inside, you can start looting all the available items. A note of caution, however, as I have come across some deadly ARC enemies at this particular location.
If you're looking for other great spots to loot in Buried City, you can either go for the Town Hall or the Hospital.

The Roots update in PEAK appears to be of the worst kind if you're an arachnophobe, since we now have to escape from spiders.
While you can avoid the eight-legged freaks during your ascent, there's no such luxury if you wish to complete the Web Security badge as part of the new update. Let's look at how to escape the spider in the new update and obtain the badge by doing so.
How to complete the Web Security badge in PEAK
While it's not a smart thing to deliberately get trapped in a spider's web, you might have to do so to get the Web Security badge. First, get to the Roots biome since the spider can only be found there.
It's naturally possible that you could get entrapped in a spider web. Spiders typically stay high on the bigger mushrooms. They will swoop down when you stand under them directly; I would advise always looking above when you're traveling in Roots. If you want to emphasize completing the badge, go stand under a mushroom with a spider on it.
The spider will attack and try to entangle you in its web. Once the web starts building around you, start tapping the space bar as rapidly as you can. Do it fast enough, and you'll be able to come out of the web successfully and complete the Web Security badge. Fail to do so, and you'll get trapped and die.
Getting trapped (even temporarily) in the web can inflict poison on your stamina bar. The longer you stay trapped, the greater will be the poison damage. When you're trying to escape the web, be careful about your surroundings. You can accidentally fall and take more damage, which can also leave you dead.
If you're playing in a party, keep a few healing items spread out among all of you. That will allow your friends to either heal you or revive you if you die. To make matters more interesting, you can also use the Book of Bones on a dead friend and revive them as a skeleton, completing the Applied Esoterica badge in the process.

Upgrading your workshop is one of the most important goals for any raider in ARC Raiders, and getting to some of those top levels is going to take a lot of effort.
One item that is necessary for these industrial expansions is the Rusted Gear, and exceedingly rare component that can only be found out in the world. But some locations tend to have better odds of dropping it, so here's where you should go to get yourself a few of these items.
How to find Rusted Gear in ARC Raiders
Rusted Gear is a random drop that can be found in just about any container in the game. However, Industrial zones tend to have greater odds of spawning it, as do specific types of containers such as cars, whose hoods have a small but non-zero chance to give one of this item.
The best overall locations for finding Rusted Gears would be the Warehouse Complex in Blue Gate, specifically its underground sections that have tons of cars to search through. Hoods seem to have the best odds, but any searchable container is worth checking, given that the item is so rare that you could very well look through hundreds of cars without finding it.
Additionally, the Scrap Yard in Dam Battlegrounds has tons of car wreckages and other Industrial stashes that, like the Complex, could spawn Rusted Gears. Again, the odds are super small, so check every single container that you come across to maximize your odds.
You should also always bring a proper Augment that has Safe Pockets to ensure you don't die and lose an item that took you several runs to find.

ARCs are not just your enemies: they are a valuable source of high-tier items that are necessary to keep this little underground project of ours going.
We humans have a symbiotic relationship with these machines, and exterminating them completely wouldn't be advisable. One items that the people of Speranza need are the Snitch Scanners, required for numerous crucial upgrades, much like other ARC parts like Hornet Drivers, for example.
If you were on the lookout for some of these, here's what you should do.
Where to get Snitch Scanner in ARC Raiders
Snitch Scanners are, as the name implies, dropped by Snitches, the circular ARC that constantly scans for new threats and then calls in three more ARCs from orbit to help it out if it turns hostile. It's always flying around the map looking for trouble, though I've noticed many more of them on Buried City than on any other map.
To get the Scanners, simply attack the Snitch and take it down, then loot its chassis. You might also discover husks and remains around the maps that should drop Scanners as well.
The best way to kill a Snitch is to bring it down before it calls in any reinforcements, and to do that shoot at its "wings." It has three separate segments, each having some sort of "lightbulb" attached, and destroying two will send the thing flying to its doom super quickly. If you want to farm some extra ARC materials, though, let it call in the reinforcements and take them all down together.
The supports are usually two Wasps and a Hornet, which isn't the strongest bunch.

That's all cool and all, but the one detail that is breaking Pokémon logic is the new level cap.
The trailer shows Pokémon at levels higher than 100 in the wild. The short version of the trailer shows an Alpha Corviknight at level 120, an Annihilape at level 142, and an Aurorus at level 150. However, an extended trailer shows an Alolan Marowak at level 164.
While the trailers don't show trainer Pokémon above level 100, the official website has a screenshot of the main character using a Feraligatr on level 139 against a pack of Houndours and Houndoom.
This is the first time in the mainline series that Pokémon will be able to go past level 100, which has been the cap since Pokémon Red and Blue. The gacha spinoff Pokémon Masters EX is the only game in the franchise where they can get to level 150, but that's because the entire game follows a different leveling and power growth logic.
The level cap break will apparently only happen in special areas of the Mega Dimensions DLC called Hyperspace Wild Zones. How high the level cap increases is apparently tied to special Donuts that the new character Ansha makes with the help of Hoopa. These Donuts let you enter the Hyperspace, and the stronger the ingredients you use to make them, the higher your level boost will get.
Hyperspace Berries are found inside the Hyperspace. So, the DLC's gameplay loop starts to take shape: Enter the Hyperspace, collect Berries to enter again with a higher level boost, and repeat until you get the maximum level boost in the game, which is still unknown.
While the expanded level cap in Legends: Z-A looks interesting, it seems completely tied to the PvE content in the DLC. There's no indication that these extra levels will carry over to base game content or online ranked battles.

A Balanced Harvest requires you to find information related to agricultural research in ARC Raiders, but it can be confusing if you don't know what to do.
You have to get the A Balanced Harvest quest from Celeste. Let's look at how you can complete it and what its associated tasks are.

ARC Raiders A Balanced Harvest quest walkthrough
The A Balanced Harvest quest can be broken down into three essential parts.
First things first: we have to reach the correct quest location. In this case, it's the Research and Administration building. I have marked its location on the Dam Battlegrounds map (the marked location is from where you'll find the stairs) and also added an image of what the building looks like.
Take the stairs and go all the way up till you come through the first door. Head inside, go past the canteen, and take the next door. From here, you have a corridor going straight and another one going left. Take the one that goes left.
Follow the corridor, and Lab 1 will be at the end of the first right turn (on your right). Head inside, and go through the first room to the second one. You'll find the agricultural research project papers on a table. Stand close to it, and you'll get the chance to scan the papers.
Complete the scan, and that'll mark the end of A Balanced Harvest in ARC Raiders.

When living underground, it's important to keep an eye on the sky.
In ARC Raiders, one of the main storyline's quests involves placing something called LiDAR Scanners across a variety of locations so that those in Speranza can keep track of what's going on Topside. That's where you come in.
Here are all of the locations where you need to install LiDAR Scanners in ARC Raiders' "Eyes in the Sky" quest.

ARC Raiders - Eyes in the Sky quest locations
First things first, make sure you have a few Ziplines in your Quick Use inventory. You're going to need them for a couple of these. There are three different areas you need to visit for this quest: Control Tower on Dam Battlegrounds, Galleria on Buried City, and Communications Tower on Spaceport.
The quest description makes it seem like you need a LiDAR Scanner in your inventory, but you don't need anything extra besides the Ziplines you need to use to get to high, out-of-reach areas. Let's knock these out one by one.
On Spaceport, install a LiDAR Scanner at the Communications Tower
The Comms Tower is off to the far eastern area in Spaceport, and it's tough to miss. It's a giant, skinny red tower that you can see from a distance. You don't need your Zipline for this one, either. Just climb the ladder and interact to install the LiDAR Scanner when you reach the top.
On Buried City, install a LiDAR Scanner on top of the Galleria sign
Bring a Zipline for this one. This sign you're looking for is a giant tower with a G at the top (for Galleria), but you can easily get up there with a well-placed Zipline from down below. Once at the top, place the LiDAR Scanner.
On Dam Battlegrounds, install a LiDAR Scanner at the top of the Control Tower
You can get to the top of the Control Tower by using a Zipline from underneath, or by entering the building and using the elevator shaft zipline that's built into the map. Be wary of lots of ARCs and Raiders in this area, but once you're up top, place the Scanner to finish this quest.
Once all three Scanners are placed, hand in the quest for your rewards:
