Merry weekends, everyone! It's time for a chill couple of days, I think. A bunch of us have recently returned from trips down to the Brighton office to meet some new faces. Weird to think I'm now the most far-flung of the lot, living way up here in Glasgow. Maybe that's why I elected to take over these Playing This Weekend posts, to help fill the friendless void growing inside my heart.

So just know that if you don't sound off in the comments below with news of what you're playing this weekend, the void in my heart will grow, until one day it consumes me. And then who will write these posts? Here's what we're clicking on this weekend!

korone lords of exile

Hololive VTuber Inugami Korone has shared on her X (Twitter) account the boss character she designed for Lords of Exile. Many of her fans have expressed happiness that they guessed right due to the monster having many design aesthetics Korone likes.

Korone revealed the monster in a QRT of her original Tweet from February 2024, when she announced that Lords of Exile is available to purchase. She revealed that she'd secretly backed this game's Kickstarter and that she also designed one of the bosses in it. Korone then ended the Tweet, inviting players to guess which one she had made. On May 31, 2024, she acknowledged that she was late with the reveal and then showed the correct answer.

Lords of Exile is a retro-looking game that uses an 8-bit aesthetic and a linear-level design. It's an action and platforming game in which you play as a cursed knight who seeks revenge. There are eight levels in total, with various items and skills you can obtain in order to make your journey easier. Korone tends to play retro games on stream, so her backing of Lords of Exile on its Kickstarter may not have been a surprise.

Lords of Exile is available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC via Steam.

suicide squad isekai peacemaker

The official DC X (Twitter) account has shared a clip of Peacemaker in Suicide Squad Isekai. Veteran voice actor Takehito Koyasu will voice the popular DC character.

The new clip is under 30 seconds long, and it shows Peacemaker fighting and torturing people. It also shows his merciless and cruel personality. You can watch the preview clip that was posted on X right here:

https://twitter.com/dc_jp/status/1796466725661409300

Koyasu Takehito is Peacemaker's voice actor in the Japanese version of the show. He is a famous and prominent voice actor who debuted in 1987. Since then, he's played many well-known characters such as Dio Brando/DIO in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Snufkin in Moomin, Toji in Jujutsu Kaisen, Milliardo/Zechs in Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, Ozymandias in Fate/Grand Order, and Eddie/Zato-1 in Guilty Gear. This is only a small sample of Koyasu's colorful career.

Meanwhile, Peacemaker has become a somewhat more familiar character from the DC universe thanks to the Peacemaker show and his appearance in The Suicide Squad. The character debuted in 1966, and it's likely that the Suicide Squad Isekai anime will use the Christopher Smith incarnation of Peacemaker. This is due to this version of Peacemaker's affiliation with the Suicide Squad. Peacemaker is a very good fighter, assassin, spy, and marksman.

Suicide Squad Isekai will start airing in July 2024.

attack on titan cosplay

Cosume has opened up pre-orders for cosplay outfits for the Survey Corps from Attack on Titan. The collection includes Eren Yeager's outfit (complete with the shirt underneath) and Levi Ackerman's attire (with the cravat and dress shirt). [Thanks, PR Times!]

The costumes will come out in late November 2024. Each one costs 26,400 JPY ($167.85), and they come with almost everything you need in terms of the outfit. If you want to accurately cosplay as Eren or Levi from Attack on Titan, you'll need to purchase wigs and boots separately.

The official sources for the series have supervised the design process. The wings of freedom that symbolize the Survey Corps look a little scuffed. This is to represent the hard work that people of the Survey Corps do when they go outside the walls. Eren's shirt is made of comfortable material that doesn't wrinkle easily. Meanwhile, the scarf for Levi's outfit is detachable. So even if you're not sure how to tie it up, you can wear it.

Attack on Titan was a popular anime and manga series that started serialization in 2009. The anime for it came out in 2013. It is one of the best-selling manga series of all time, as well as won multiple awards such as the Kodansha Manga Award and the Harvey Award. It focuses on a timeline in which the final humans in the world live inside walled cities to avoid the threat of the giant people-eating Titans outside. After losing his mother to one, Eren vows to become a member of the Survey Corps, who go outside of the walls to investigate the Titans and thus provide the most opportunities to kill them.

The Attack on Titan cosplay outfits will come out in late November 2024.

resident evil togashi

The Resident Evil X (Twitter) account has shared some artwork of Yoshihiro Togashi's take on Jill and Nemesis in an old Resident Evil 3 official guidebook. This was in response to Togashi sharing art on the first Resident Evil game.

On May 27, 2024, Togashi uploaded a picture he did of the main characters from Resident Evil. From left to right, we can see Jill, Chris, Barry, and Rebecca. There's also a zombie in the background. In response, the Resident Evil Twitter account QRT-ed Togashi with a picture that he did in the Resident Evil 3 guidebook.

https://twitter.com/REBHPortal/status/1796376089750851844

In the picture, he celebrates Jill's return. Underneath it, he jokes that two options might not be enough to change a fate (as a reference to how Resident Evil 3: Nemesis had different endings depending on your choices). In the Nemesis speech bubble, Togashi had Nemesis say that he was happy to see a familiar face since he liked the first game more than the second.

He also added that he can't help but chase after her because of her mini-skirt. On the side of it, Togashi comments on how the dodge mechanic could be very effective depending on how you use it. He wonders if it's possible to clear the game without using too many bullets, thanks to dodge.

Finally, in the bubble next to Jill, Togashi reminds players to take a good look at the Game Over screen without resetting immediately. This is because Jill might be using the last moments of her life to give "fanservice," with her miniskirt being a hint as to what Togashi means. He then calls himself terrible in the corner of the speech bubble.

Yoshihiro Togashi is a manga artist known for his work on Yu Yu Hakusho and Hunter x Hunter.
