PCGamesN Monday, October 16, 2023 12:25 PM What are Minecraft trial chambers? Over the past few years, Mojang has added more and more to our underground experience in Minecraft, with new, stunning cave systems added with the Caves and Cliffs update in 2021, and amethyst geodes and Ancient cities brought in to stumble across while exploring. There are of course Strongholds to look out for underground too, and all those valuable ores. But with the Minecraft 1.21 update, trial chambers add another massive and exciting structure to your next Minecraft adventure. Announced during Minecraft Live 2023, the Minecraft 1.21 update adds new vanilla features, changing the way you craft with the automated Minecraft Crafter block and expanding on your underground exploration. Trial chambers are large, multi-level structures found underground that you can plunder alone or with friends to practice your combat skills and earn some valuable loot. They feature new decorative blocks sets, a new light block, and even a new mob: the Minecraft Breeze.

PCGamesN Monday, October 16, 2023 12:22 PM When is the Skull and Bones release date? We've lost count of how many times the pirate game has been pushed back, but we're not worried - despite a fairly cynical opinion across the board, what we've seen of Skull and Bones so far has given us more than a few reasons to be optimistic.

One of the best PC games of all time and the ongoing king of sandbox games, Minecraft has incredible replayability, keeping fans and newbies coming to the game time after time. While the vanilla game still gets regular updates, Minecraft mods, texture packs, resource packs, and shaders can completely reinvent the game, affecting its overall look. For example, mods can completely alter gameplay, and Minecraft texture packs and resource packs change the appearance of existing blocks and add new blocks, respectively. Meanwhile, shader packs give you the same game with fancier graphics and effects.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, October 16, 2023 3:42 PM It sounds like Spider-Man 2 is pretty damn good, going by reviews that have appeared today ahead of the web-slinging sequel's release on PlayStation 5 this Friday. While there's no official word on a Spider-Man 2 PC version just yet, the appearance of previous PS5 exclusives over the last couple of years hopefully means it's just a matter of time. The sooner, the better, based on what we've heard so far. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, October 16, 2023 3:10 PM I love it when game names do what they say on the tin, but I love it even more when they contain hidden depths behind that initial simplicity. Hermit And Pig is indeed a game about a reclusive old hermit and his truffle-hunting pig, but this charming adventure RPG also has one of the most involving turn-based battle systems I've come across in a while. Taking place in first person a la Dragon Quest, Hermit must deal with all sorts of mad and angry wildlife as he hunts for his favourite forest mushrooms, and their scowling (and endearingly daft) expressions are just the tip of this excellent iceberg. For you're not just choosing from a list of moves and watching them play out onscreen. Oh no. Each attack also comes with its own three-button fighting combo, and you'll need to input the right one (often at the right time) to deal the most damage. It's a brilliant system, making Hermit And Pig easily one of this year's highlights from EGX's Leftfield Collection. |

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, October 16, 2023 1:02 PM If you played a videogame at all in 2022, I hope it was Roadwarden. A blend of RPG and visual novel from Polish developer Moral Anxiety, it cast you as lonesome wayfarer maintaining the paths and investigating the mysteries or grievances of a thinly populated wilderness setting. It's a game of immense feeling, craft and cleverness, inspired by table-top games, which puts hoarier ideas about videogame role-playing through the wringer. In the world of Roadwarden, there's no grinding for XP or mindless loot-crafting treadmill. Knowledge, empathy and insight are worth far more than material wealth or wielding the shiniest axe. Quests can hinge on something as minute as your ear for dialects or knowing the correct form of address. And each village along the trail is a world in itself. Moral Anxiety's Windy Meadow - which actually dates back to before development of Roadwarden, but has been substantially remastered since the latter's release - essentially narrows the focus to one of those villages. Out today, it's a quietly gorgeous visual novel in which you follow several characters in different timeframes, building up a layered understanding of one and the same setting, with scene transitions plotted on a beautiful pixelart map screen. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, October 16, 2023 11:44 AM Newly released documents have given us a rare inside look at how gun manufacturers have tried to use videogames to promote their wares to younger people - specifically, players of Activision's original Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, released in 2009. The memos and emails in question are from now-defunct US gun company Remington Arms, which was once part of the conglomerate Freedom Group. They've been disclosed by a lawyer as part of legal proceedings launched by the parents of children killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, in which 20-year-old Adam Lanza shot and killed 26 people using a Remington-made AR15 rifle. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, October 16, 2023 11:30 AM Silence Of The Siren is a name I'm perpetually going to get mixed up with fellow strategy games Songs Of Silence and Songs Of Conquest over the next couple of years, but there's certainly no mistaking what this sci-fi, tactics explorathon looks and plays like when you see it in the flesh. Made by the same team behind 2018's Project Hospital, Silence Of The Siren is an homage to Heroes Of Might And Magic where several different alien races are fighting to control a distant alien planet. It's a little bit 4X-y, but not massively so, and I had a very fun time indeed with its EGX demo over the weekend, which I think I played for almost a solid hour and completely forgot about the growing queue of folks behind me.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, October 16, 2023 10:08 AM We talk about retro and throwback game releases being a "blast from the past", but in this case, it's more like you're strolling down a sunny path amid soothing birdsong, and then one particular, innocent-looking paving stone swivels underfoot with a rustle of gears, dropping you into a dingy, yellow-panelled room. There are vacuum tubes mounted on one wall, doors to either side, and a ladder leading further down into darkness. You click one of the doors and the perspective switches over slide-projector style to a second room with identical proportions. There are pipes emerging from the floor, here, and some kind of antique radio on a pedastel in the centre. Hang on, I know this place. I know this formless sense of dread. I know these machinations. The last time I set foot here, it was 2009 and I was running a Flash game blog, writing up choice submissions to sites like Kongregate. This is Submachine, a 14-part escape puzzle series from Mateusz Skutnik, which Skutnik has now compiled, polished-up and re-released as Submachine: Legacy. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, October 16, 2023 8:20 AM Minecraft update 1.21 has been revealed, and well, looks like Mojang have been reading my posts demanding the addition of a proper maze generator, those sneaky devils. As explained by Minecraft game director Agnes Larsson, the forthcoming Minecraft update – which has yet to be given a release date – is designed to "focus more on combat adventures and on tinkering" than last year's Cave & Cliffs update. The headline addition is an underground structure called the Trial Chamber, a procedurally generated cluster of traps and treasure rooms, fashioned from copper and tuff blocks and arranged around a central hallway. From the Minecraft Live footage this weekend, Trial Chambers look like an evolution of the game's old buried fortresses, with some nifty new flourishes in the shape of copper bulb blocks that slowly give off less and less light, and new Trial Spawners, which generate a certain number of hostile mobs based on things like the number of players in your party. |

Bandai Namco started selling the Pikmin bath bomb from Nintendo stores. It is currently available in Nintendo Tokyo and Nintendo Osaka stores. Nintendo Kyoto will have it in stock from October 17, 2023. Each bath bomb costs 550 JPY, which is approximately $3.70.
Back in June 2023, Bandai Namco displayed the Pikmin bath bomb at Tokyo Toy Show 2023. The full name of the product is "Bikkura? Tamago Pikmin," with loosely translates to "Surprise? Egg Pikmin." Bikkura Tamago products from Lifestyle Bandai are bath bombs that hide a little toy inside, which you can take after the outside layer of epsom salts wash away in the water. There are a variety of toys that you can collect, since it's completely random which one you get.
As we saw previously during Tokyo Toy Show 2023, the Pikmin bath bomb contains five different Pikmins that you can potentially obtain. You can get a Blue Pikmin, a Yellow PIkmin, a Red Pikmin, a Purple Pikmin, or a White Pikmin. The bath bomb itself has a fruity scent. This matches the design of the outside layer, which looks like a round lemon.
The Pikmin bath bombs are available from Nintendo and Bandai stores in Japan. The latest entry in the Pikmin series, Pikmin 4, is available on the Nintendo Switch.

Ahead of his release on October 17, 2023, this new two and a half-minute trailer features some cinematic gameplay showing off how the Cryo catalyst user will play ahead of the upcoming banner release.
Players also get a look at some of the lore surrounding Wriothesley in the highly stylized trailer featuring him taking on various fighters in the Fortress of Meropide in the Fontaine region. The character demo trailer plays out like a short montage of cutscenes of Wriothesley using his mechanical fists to bash away at the foes he takes on. Like Heizou, he is a catalyst user who uses hand-to-hand combat, rather than magic.
The cinematic trailer features several enemies, from mechanical dogs to guards from the prison. It culminates in a battle against the enemy Group Justice, during which Wriothesley potentially teases some of the skill animations he will have in the upcoming game. He has fast movements and up-close animations. Players will seemingly want to stay in the mix and constantly apply pressure to foes while using him.
Genshin Impact is available for Android, iOS, PS4, PS5, and PC. The Wriothesley banner will drop on October 17, 2023.

On October 17, 2023, the Pokemon GO Party Play feature will appear in-game. It isn't exactly a new multiplayer element. Rather, it lets people work as a group of four to complete challenges, get extra power in Raids, and keep in touch with other players. However, it is a local-only activity, so you need to apparently be near the other folks as you all play.
How to start Pokemon GO Party Play
Niantic also introduced how we can form a party with this new feature. You'll need to go to your profile and click Party. On that page, you can either join a party by entering a code or scanning a QR or making your own. This can only happen if you hit level 15 trainer level, however. If you do meet that requirement, you can have up to three people join you for your new group. You'll then be able to check the Party tab for more insights into what others are doing or challenges.
Here's the official Pokemon GO Party Play trailer. It shows off some of the features and how the new feature works. When you are in a group, you can complete Party Challenges together. Some of the ones listed in the example are "win two raids," "catch two Pokemon," and "catch two ice-type Pokemon." It also shows how Raid Party Power looks, as well as how you can compare stats and highlights in the new party and post-party highlights sections.
Pokemon GO is available for mobile devices, and Party Play will be available starting on October 17, 2023. One of the last in-game events tied in with Detective Pikachu Returns to bring Detective Pikachu back.

The Pokemon live drama show PokeTsume will soon air on Japanese television, and its new trailer has appeared ahead of the premiere. The drama show will be officially titled Pocket ni Bouken o Tsumekonde in Japanese. The full title can also be translated to "Cram an Adventure Inside the Pocket." The trailer shows more details to the upcoming drama show, following its initial reveal in late August 2023. There's no word on its availability outside Japan yet.
Nanase Nishino, a former Nogizaka46 member who is also an avid Pokemon fan, will star in this drama as Madoka Akagi. She newly works at the advertising agency ADventure. Madoka will rediscover her Pokemon passion after her mother sends her a Game Boy Pocket with a Pokemon Red cartridge that she last played 20 years ago.
The 100-second PokeTsume trailer also shows that many members of ADventure will be comparable to some of the first-generation Pokemon. For example, the company's chief is very forgetful like a Slowbro, and one of Madoka's colleagues is as useless as a Magikarp. Aya Hirano will also appear in this drama show as Yoko Meguro, a woman who is tenacious in both work and romance like a Ninetales.
The trailer is available to watch on Poké Times, the official X account for Pokemon-related news in Japan.
Pocket ni Bouken o Tsumekonde, also known as PokeTsume, will start airing in Japan on October 19, 2023, at 24:30 JST / 11:30am ET. It is worth noting that Japanese television channels typically use a 30-hour format where the date is only updated at 6am. Therefore in regular time, the drama show will begin on October 20, 2023, at 12:30am JST.

On October 17, 2023, people will be able to start playing Mobile Suit Gundam: UC Engage in English and worldwide.

Essentially, there will be 9,500 Diamonds, the in-game currency for things like the gacha, and a UR Gundam given out to all players. 4,500 of those diamonds and the Gundam are part of the pre-registration bonuses. However, there is also going to be a Release Celebration Campaign. 5,000 Diamonds will be given out as part of that. The announcement image for that launch event also featured an SR Gundam icon, suggesting another free unit will be given to players who opt in at the outset.
While this is the first time the Mobile Suit Gundam: UC Engage mobile game will be available in English and worldwide, it's already quite established in Japan. The game launched back in November 2021 in the region. As part of the latest announcement, Bandai Namco noted that version has been downloaded over three million times.

The new Kazuma Kiryu voice actor Yong Yea revealed the Like a Dragon Gaiden English dub for the Yakuza spin-off won't appear until after the game's launch. The performer noted it will be a post-launch addition. He also shared a screen capture of the official site that noted people will eventually be able to download a patch that adds the additional audio option.
Here's Yea's statement. In a follow-up tweet, he acknowledged the release date is November 9, 2023. As a note, the Steam product page for the game only shows full audio for Japanese at the moment.
Yea also pointed out that this Like a Dragon Gaiden English dub situation might not be the case for the other upcoming Yakuza title on his account. He noted that Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth's Steam product listing already does note full audio in English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese.
It's uncertain how extensive the English dub for the spin-off will be. While we know major characters, like Kiryu, will be voiced, it is uncertain if we'll get to hear someone like the Obatarian in English for the first time.
Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name will come out on November 9, 2023, and people will be able to play the new Yakuza game on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC.

There is a new kind of Attuned character type in Fire Emblem Heroes, and that also means a new sort of inheritance. These new units have an X skill slot with an additional ability. Like a Rearmed Hero, you can inherit once without losing that person, thus allowing a character who doesn't have an X skill to get one. The first two units of this type in Fire Emblem Heroes are Peony and Triandra, the Ljósálfar and Dökkálfr.
Peony is an axe-wielding, flying unit. Her weapon is the axe Flower of Caring. She's also still a dancer-class unit, with a Tender Dream ability that lets an ally act again. Her X skill is Attack Oath Echo, which boosts her attack by six and lets her move to a space adjacent to an ally if she is within two spaces of an ally. Meanwhile, Triandra is a sword-bearing, flying unit. She holds the Flower of Tribute. Her X skill is Death Blow Echo, which boosts her attack by four if she initiates combat.
As mentioned earlier, the first banner to add them will include two other characters. Rearmed Sonya is an infantry unit who holds a green Arc Caliburnus tome. Mycen is a cavalry unit with a blue lance.
Here's the first Fire Emblem Heroes trailer for the Attuned Heroes Peony and Triandra, which also shows Rearmed Sonya and Mycen.
Fire Emblem Heroes is available for Android and Apple iOS devices, with the first Attuned characters banner available now.

A replica of Pod 042 from the NieR: Automata Ver1.1a anime will act as a weapon shop manager in Japan. The collaboration will happen at Takumi Armory's pop-up store in Laforet Harajuku on October 21-22, 2023. The Japanese press release provided more details on how the studio made the replica of 2B and A2's companion pod. [Thanks, Famitsu!]
Takumi Armory created a 1/1 replica of Pod 042 after NieR: Automata Ver1.1a's director Ryouji Masuyama requested to see a life-sized model as a reference. The studio created the replica from scratch at its own workshop in Takasago City in Japan's Hyogo prefecture. This replica cannot float in the air, so staff members will put it on a tripod during the showcase.
Other than Pod 042, Takumi Armory will display life-sized weapon replicas of the Virtuous Contract and Virtuous Treaty. It will also place seven posters of the NieR: Automata Ver1.1a anime around the shop.
Although there will be no NieR: Automata-related goods available for sale, people who make any purchase at the shop will be allowed to take a photo with Pod 042 and the NieR: Automata weapon replicas. However, they will still not be allowed to directly touch the items.
There have also been other merchandise modeled after NieR: Automata's Pods. In late September 2023, Movic opened pre-orders for new plush keychains based on both Pod 042 and Pod 153.
The NieR: Automata Ver1.1a anime will serve as the primary source for this collaboration. Aniplex announced in July 2023 that the anime's second cour is in the works. The title originated as a video game that is immediately available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
