Back in the protean stink of 2013, the beast we call Factorio sprouted in lowercase early access form and began its meticulous, ravenous conquest of the emerging factory sim genre. Some say that Factorio gave that genre life, though I'd point at Dwarf Fortress as one among many notable forebears. Today, the terrain of factory simming is hotly contested by rival piles of conveyor belt spaghetti. I'm not just talking about Satisfactory or Shapez - they're even making philosophical factory sims these days. They have cosy factory sims now.

Accordingly, the immense, smoke-rimmed cyborg eye of Factorio has turned from the exhausted soil to the relatively untapped heavens. Somewhere up there, there is unspoilt territory. Somewhere, there is land that has never known the roar of a smelter - and in Factorio's behemothic Space Age DLC, out today, you will find it.

Vampire Survivors was our best game of 2022 and one of the best roguelikes, period. And over the years it's received a slew of updates that make it a bit bigger and a bit better, but nothing that's been mega substantial. That is, until today's announcement that it's getting an Ode To Castlevania expansion, classed by developers Poncle as the game's biggest DLC yet. More characters, more weapons, a weapon selector, an enormous stage. I simply can't wait to devour more packets of crisps as I play this.

My Hero Academia Overwatch 2

Overwatch 2 is no stranger to collaborations, and received a series of My Hero Academia skins on October 17, 2024. Famitsu interviewed Art Director of Overwatch 2, Dion Rogers, which revealed how the collaboration came to be, and what decided certain characters receiving specific skins. [Thanks, Famitsu!]

Dion Rogers, the Art Director of Overwatch 2, said this concerning how the skins were chosen for the My Hero Academia crossover.

The team has a list of series that more or less match the "theme" of Overwatch 2, including things we've loved as children or have become interested in or addicted to! One of them is My Hero Academia, which we're collaborating with right now. My Hero Academia has that same positive outlook when it comes to being a hero, which is great.. I think the collaboration has good synergy.

Dion Rodgers, Blizzard Entertainment

When it came to deciding which character would receive skins, the team decided based on personality and circumstance. Rogers stated that Trace and Deku have similar personalities, and that their origin stories are similar. At least in terms of meeting an aspirational figure and that more or less deciding their initial journey.

Reinhardt was given an All Might skin, which the development team decided was a natural choice. This was due to Reinhardt's bombastic personality and booming voice. However, there were a lot of adjustments made to his face to make sure he encapsulated the character. A "withered" All Might skin was also considered, but it was too difficult to implement, and that idea was subsequently shelved.

Overwatch 2 is readily available for free on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Switch, and PC. The My Hero Academia crossover skins will be available until October 30, 2024.

Dragon Ball Sparking Zero Yajirobe

An update to Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero will appear in late October, which includes a balance to Yajirobe. Additional adjustments include changes made to certain stage on lower difficulty settings, improved responsiveness to controls in online matches, and general stability. This information appeared on the official Dragon Ball Games X (or Twitter) account.

You can view the announcement in English below:

https://twitter.com/dragonballgames/status/1847264090097353201

One of the most notable, or interesting, bits of information concerning the announcement involves the developers deciding to rebalance Yajirobe in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero. While not the most popular character in the Dragon Ball franchise (that probably goes to Vegeta or Goku, given how many variants of those two characters are in the game), he has more or less dominated the competitive scene.

One of the least surprising announcements is the adjustment being made to difficulty levels to specific stages in the game's Episode Battles. While Bandai Namco was not specific as to which Episode Battles will be impacted, consumers have en masse reported struggling against the Ape Vegeta battle.

Other updates that will appear include more responsive controls in online battles and general improvements. Bandai Namco has not provided a concrete date as to when this update will appear. Only that it will release sometime in late October 2024.

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero is available for PS5, Xbox Series X and PC. You can read our review here.

If you redeem a new Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream code, you can get an outfit inspired by SAO theme song singer ReoNa.

Bandai Namco shared a free costume for Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream, and it is based on an outfit worn by SAO theme song singer ReoNa. All female characters can now get a One-Man Concert Birth 2024 outfit, which is called Dark Otherworldly Singer, to wear if someone uses the code Birt-h202-4. 

The official announcement on social media offered an idea of what to expect. It showed what Yuna would look like if she wore the outfit. It is an entirely black outfit with a jacket over a dress and boots. The back of the jacket reads, "Hello, UNHAPPY. ReoNa."

ReoNa and her music are quite closely tied to the Sword Art Online series, with tracks being used as opening and ending themes for the anime and games up through SAO Fractured Daydream. The latest one is "Our Song," which was used as the opening theme for this game. Here's how that sounds:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fajmKquYM3g&ab_channel=BandaiNamcoEntertainmentAmerica

Some of her other recent songs used in SAO shows or games include "Anima" and "Forget-Me-Not." She also appeared as a character in Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris.

Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream is available on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam.

V Rising Castlevania Dominus Skins

Another set of Castlevania DLC has appeared in V Rising, this time taking a queue from the Dominus Collection and includes a Soma Cruz and Shanoa skin. The pack includes several furniture items and more Castlevania inspired decor. Those who have purchased the Castlevania Premium Pack will receive this DLC entirely for free. The DLC pack will cost $24.99.

As mentioned previously the Castlevania Dominus DLC Pack for V Rising will include a Soma Cruz and Shanoa skin. It does not specify that the skins themselves are gender locked, but are shown on the Type 1 and Type 2 bodies respectively. The previous DLC, Legacy of Castlevania, which included an outfit and hairstyle inspired by Alucard, were not gender locked.

Stunlock Studios share details about this DLC pack, and announced that V Rising has now received a special Castlevania bundle, which includes the Legacy of Castlevania DLC. Again, if you have purchased this DLC pack, you will receive everything included in the Domnius Collection for free.

Castlevania crossovers seem all the rage, as Dead by Daylight and Vampire Survivors have gotten their own set of DLC. Dead by Daylight has since received Trevor and Dracula, as the Survivor and Killer respectively. And Vampire Survivors will see the inclusion of over twenty Castlevania characters into it's already robust roster.

V Rising is available for PC via Steam and PlayStation 5. You can read our review here.

FFXIV Adventurer's Supply Kit Has Menphina's Earring, 99 Aetheryte Tickets

Square Enix announced it added a FFXIV Adventurer's Supply Kit to the Final Fantasy XIV Online Store, and it provides a quick way to get items like one Menphina's Earring and 99 Aetheryte Tickets. The bundle is an account-wide one that works with all of your characters, and it costs $9.99.

Normally, Aetheryte Tickets can be paid for or earned in-game in FFXIV. So, for example, you can trade Allied Seals or Centurio Seals for them if you are a part of a Grand Company. This pack gives you 99, allowing for quick teleports on demand. 

As for the Menphina's Earring, originally they were a bonus for certain Final Fantasy XIV purchases, such as the Xbox Series X version of the game or the FFXIV Endwalker expansion. This marks the first opportunity to get the earrings outside of that. When equipped by a character under level 80, you get 30% more experience than usual. 

The other items in the FFXIV Adventurer's Supply Kit bundle involve cosmetics. You can change your appearance with the one included Fantasia. If you use Ballroom Etiquette: Improper Praise #4, you can learn the Cheer On: Bright emote. That was previously only available in a 6.4 event. The Rising Red Moon Parasol is also a part of it.

Here's how the emote looks:

Black Myth Wukong Deluxe Edition Physical Copies Head to Retail 1

PM Studios announced it will be in charge of the Black Myth: Wukong physical copies, and that people who pick them up at retail will get the Deluxe Edition DLC for the game. There's no release window for them yet, beyond "soon." 

People will be able to find the Black Myth: Wukong Deluxe Edition physical copies worldwide. PM Studios confirmed it will be sold in Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. It seems Asian and African countries are left out of the rollout. The online storefront for the publisher will also sell it, though there is no listing for it yet. So far, VGP is the only store with a product page live at time of writing.

The Black Myth: Wukong Deluxe Edition comes with some extra equipment and a copy of the soundtrack. So you can put the Destined One in armor inspired by Folk Opera, thanks to the included four-piece set. The Wind Chimes curio included lets you move faster than normal. You can also choose to wield the Bronzecloud Staff, which makes it 2% more likely you'll land a critical hit.

While the price and release date weren't shared, the cover art was. It features the Destined One. Here's how that will look:

Black Myth: Wukong was well-received at launch. For example, the player count on Steam alone passed two million people. Game Science also teased that it is working on an expansion.

Black Myth: Wukong is available for the PS5 and PC, and a physical copy is heading to retail stores worldwide.

WoW World of Warcraft Raids

Not only are Raids the highest level of content in World of Warcraft, they're often also a climax point in an area's storyline, or even of a whole expansion. There have been a whole lot of Raids added over the game's 10 expansions, but here are our picks for the best of the lot.

WoW World of Warcraft Raids Ulduar
Screenshot by Siliconera

Ulduar (Wrath of the Lich King)

Beginning with a unique, vehicle-based assault on a mountaintop alien research facility, before ending with a showdown against an imprisoned chthonic deity, Ulduar was a wild swerve into WoW's more space-fantasy side. The raid and especially its special optional boss encounter also gave us some more information on the Titans, who may yet be less benevolent than first assumed. Oh, and there's a chance to earn a flying mount shaped like a mechanical gnome's head, and who wouldn't love one of those?

WoW World of Warcraft Raids Ahn'qiraj
Screenshot by Siliconera

The Temple of Ahn'Qiraj (Classic)

Grand, ambitious, and full of bugs in more ways than one, the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj were one of WoW's biggest early updates. After a lengthy quest chain and an enormous cross-faction event, players were finally able to delve into two new raids set in an underground city of Old God-aligned insects. While today the raid is massively outclassed in terms of design and graphics, at the time its size was unprecedented and frequently caused the game (and player's internet connections) to buckle as they gathered for the 40-man raid.

Trial of the Crusader (Wrath of the Lich King)

Nowadays, Trial of the Crusader is mostly known as the origin of the highly meme'd upon Lord Jaraxxus, Eredar Lord of the Burning Legion and objectively Hearthstone's best card. But it was also a really creative series encounters with interesting mechanics, even without some of the narrative weight of other raids. One encounter even emulated a Player versus Player battle, pitting raiders against a team of NPC's from their opposite faction!

WoW World of Warcraft Raids The Eye
Screenshot by Siliconera

The Eye (Burning Crusade)

Floating above the shattered remains of Outland, Tempest Keep is a series of dungeons culminating in a raid where players throw down with Kael'thas Sunstrider himself. It's also set inside several enormous, crystalline space-ships like the ones the Draenei race use as a home city. To us, this era of space-fantasy technology fueled by neon crystals is as iconic as any of the more traditional faux-medieval aesthetics used in other expansions. Due to being portioned up, the raid itself is also not as much of a maze as some can be, instead being a short and sweet run of 4 bosses including a souped-up Fel Reaver and gauntlet of Kael'thas' lieutenants.

WoW World of Warcraft Raids Antorus
Screenshot by Siliconera

Antorus, the Burning Throne (Legion)

Climax of the fondly remembered Legion expansion, Antorus was at once the highpoint of a decades-long plot line and another foray into WoW's space-fantasy side. Alongside classic Warcraft anti-hero Illidan Stormrage, players would assault a demonic space fortress and fight giant robots, demonic generals, and eventually the soul of an entire planet. It also has, for our money, some of the coolest armor sets available.

WoW World of Warcraft Raids Castle Nathria
Screenshot by Siliconera

Castle Nathria (Shadowlands)

While Shadowlands is an expansion many players would rather forget, Castle Nathria really gave the people what they wanted: Vampires. Gothic architecture, macabre masquerades, and suitably vampy armor sets awaited players as they fought through a host of vampiric residents and misbegotten pets. One encounter even flips the usual dynamics and mechanics by having players heal and defend the soul of Kael'thas Sunstrider, who proved that each of his previous defeats were merely a setback.

WoW World of Warcraft Raids

Battle of Dazar'alor (Battle for Azeroth)

The Alliance must have felt pretty miffed when Battle for Azeroth gave them a British port town while the Horde got a gold-encrusted South American city full of dinosaurs, so they decided to invade it. Thus the Battle of Dazar'alor took place, set within the Horde's capital city for the expansion and featuring a climactic final fight against Warcraft heavy-hitter Jaina Proudmoore.

While most raids tend to be fairly faction-neutral, Dazar'alor has both faction-specific bosses and sections where you get to play as a member of the opposing faction. It also served to show off some of the variety in each faction's allied races like the Dark Iron Dwarves and Kul Tiran Humans, while taking place in the city where some players will have spent a lot of time gave the raid palpable stakes other areas struggle to match.

WoW World of Warcraft Raids Siege of Orgrimmar
Screenshot by Siliconera

Siege of Orgrimmar (Mists of Pandaria)

Take what I said about thematic weight of setting a raid in a faction city, and but make it one player's have known for several years instead of a single expansion. Beginning with an excursion in Pandaria, players must then join the Horde revolt on the beaches of Durotar and fight through the forces of Garrosh Hellscream's loyalists, some of whom players will have been fighting alongside for much of the expansion!

So that's our picks for some of the best Raids in World of Warcraft. Let us know which ones you think are best, or simply have fond memories of running, in the comments below!

World of Warcraft and The War Within expansion are immediately available on PC and Mac.

Review: Solid Card-en-Ciel Card Gameplay Lacks Mega Man Battle Network Charm

As a developer that often worked on Mega Man games, we often see Inti Creates create original titles that are clearly inspired by them. In the case of Card-en-Ciel, we have a game that has a Mega Man Battle Network approach when it comes to aesthetics and gameplay. However, while it may look familiar and feels inspired by the other title, it lacks its charm of the other series.

In a world filled with VR full-dive games that people jump into, there are incidents that require accomplished hackers and detectives to solve. After getting an urgent message from someone working alongside a Rust Tactics VR game development team named Ancie, Neon the Gaming Chair Detective finds himself dealing with corruption and data tied to many different games. There involve abnormalities, bugs, characters from other titles are appearing where they shouldn't, and Muses are buffing certain enemies with their songs. It's up to us to work alongside Neon and Ancie to set things right in dungeons based on certain other "games" invading Rust Tactics

Review: Solid Card-en-Ciel Card Gameplay Lacks Mega Man Battle Network Charm
Image via Inti Creates

The thing is, Inti Creates isn't great at telling a story in Card-en-Ciel or making its world appealing, something Capcom excelled at when it came to the Mega Man Battle Network games. When we go through the story dungeons based on full-dive games, each one looks practically identical. The structure of square rooms connected by brief "bridges" gets incredibly repetitive, especially considering the similar Mega Man titles managed to inject so much personality into the "net" we'd visit as MegaMan.EXE. When you enter an area inspired by an in-game series, there are no outward or immediately recognizable distinctions. Just the same blocks. Even the enemies you fight aren't only drawn from that "title," as instead Inti Creates pulls from its actual game library and original ones created for Card-en-Ciel

While this can make the idea of going through Card-en-Ciel dungeons a little boring, I feel the turn-based, deck-building gameplay actually improves upon the Mega Man Battle Network formula. When you're dealt cards or pick them up after fights and while exploring, you'll find they either deal HP or break damage to opponents. HP damage wears the enemy down and defeats them. Break damage affects the attack meter, keeping them from being able to take action against you and weakening their defense against HP attacks. Each round, you start with three points, and cards can require between 0-3 points to use. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwI3Al25LJo&ab_channel=INTICREATES

All cards are also used for movement to evade attacks or move so you can target enemies. Icons on each one show if they'll move Neon up, down, left, or right. So you need to get out of ranged of the telegraphed attack under your feet that happens in X number of turns, you need to play one of your cards to move instead of taking the action shown on it.

While those are the three basic uses for cards, there are other factors to consider. Some are yellow. If you see the opponent's timer counting down to show they are about to attack, you can play that card to counter and take action during that turn. Cards can have additional effects that add buffs, cause clones to appear, create 0-cost cards that deal damage and break damage, ensure cards of the same type get a boost, or affect future turns. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bga8CYwRg2c&ab_channel=INTICREATES

There are also Muses to content with as you play Card-en-Ciel. You tend to start with one available when you enter a dungeon, with additional ones found in fights on floors. Once you collect one, you can trigger their buffs in battle by meeting requirements. So you may need to play the same card twice in a row, which means ensuring your deck is stacked with duplicates of a certain type. Another Muse might require you to play a three-cost card or for there to be exactly five cards in your hand after taking an action. Likewise, enemies can have Muses on their sides too, providing them buffs and adding junk cards to your hand that could force movement or affect your deck. 

It's really quite clever, and I loved whenever I'd see a cameo from a returning Inti Creates game character in Card-en-Ciel. For example, Azure Striker Gunvolt and Gal Gun folks are here! But at the same time, since the story isn't really compelling or well-executed, the cards and enemies based on "original" characters aren't very appealing. In many cases, it feels like they're excuses to insert some extra fanservice. But since we don't know who they are until this title, it rings a bit hollow and doesn't have the same appeal as it would if it involved actually recognizable people. Though personally, I also found the Muse and Ancie fanservice a bit overdone here. Others might enjoy it! But it was so out of place in the roguelike that it struck me as being more odd than appealing.

Review: Solid Card-en-Ciel Card Gameplay Lacks Mega Man Battle Network Charm
Image via Inti Creates

Once a fight is over, you will see certain options available in the "node" where you fought. You can choose to recover some HP. You can enhance one of the cards in your deck. It is also possible to station one of the characters in the cards you have, removing them from your deck in the process, for buffs. There can also be random events triggered after a fight is done that affects your cards and deck. Not to mention if you avoid fights for too long or make certain choices in those events, your Memory Gauge goes up and inflicts negative effects in fights until you battle enough to reduce it.

As Card-en-Ciel is a roguelike, there are elements that put you in a better position for future runs if you win. You can forge Wild Cards, which give you a chance to do better in a pinch during a fight. When recuperating with Ancie after a run, you can put points into determining if rarer cards come up, Neon's HP goes up, Treasure Chests show up after battle, or other benefits come up. There are also different difficulties to choose from when heading in, which can help with players' experiences. 

Image via Inti Creates

Though to be honest, I didn't get much out of the PvP mode. This feature unlocks after a few runs. It offers a daily dungeon with leaderboards or an opportunity to face others. The daily dungeon is fine, but I got nothing out of the fights against others and would just… rather go through the base dungeons on different difficulties instead. 

I enjoyed Inti Creates' approach to gameplay in Card-en-Ciel and appreciate how it built on the tactical deck-building found in the Mega Man Battle Network series. While it looks similar, it feels like its own thing. That's great! Unfortunately, the actual story surrounding Neon and Ancie's adventure is pretty weak and not handled well, and there's no personality to any of the dungeons we explore. It's a case where there's some good gameplay we can sink our teeth into, but the style isn't quite there even with colorful characters and some fun cameos. It can be entertaining, but lacks Mega Man Battle Network's charm.

Card-en-Ciel will come to the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC on October 24, 2024, and a demo is available on the PC via Steam and Switch

Bleach Rebirth of Souls Renji Aburai Trailer Finally Appears

Even though Renji Abarai was one of the first confirmed Bleach Rebirth of Souls playable characters, Bandai Namco didn't share a character trailer for him until now. We now can see what the 6th division lieutenant is capable of if we choose him as a fighter in the game.

Appropriately enough, Renji faces off against 6th Division Captain Byakuya Kuchiki in his character trailer. He wields his Zanpakuto Zabimaru both in his standard and awakened state. Things begin with his Sweep signature move, which features his sword extending like a whip. From there, we see two Spiritual Pressure Moves. One is the Tsumuji Kaze attack, and the other is the Oath of the Soul buff.

Here's the full character trailer showing how Renji will work in the game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp7a-Dq56lk&ab_channel=BandaiNamcoEntertainmentAmerica

Here's the full list of all of the Bleach Rebirth of Souls characters who got their own trailers before Renji Abarai did.

Bleach Rebirth of Souls will come to the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC in early 2025. The Bleach anime, including Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War, are streaming on on Disney+ and HuluViz Media handles the manga series outside of Japan.

Monster Hunter Hololive Gamers crossover merchandise art

Capcom revealed the second wave of the collaboration campaign between hololive and Monster Hunter, which will feature Vtubers from the Hololive Gamers group. The company will release new merchandise based on this crossover at its amusement centers across Japan in late October 2024.

All four active members of Hololive Gamers—Shirakami Fubuki, Ookami Mio, Nekomata Okayu, and Inugami Korone, will be present in this collaboration. Their costume designs will also take inspiration from certain Felyne armors, with the said Palico also accompanying them. For instance, Fubuki will wear a Zinogre-themed attire, and Mio's costume will be based on the default Kamura Village set from Monster Hunter Rise.

Most of the items in the lineup—ranging from acrylic stand keychains and boards to towels and cushions—will appear in crane games inside the amusement centers. Those who spend 500 yen consecutively on a crane game featuring those items can receive a random clear file. Capcom will also add hanging tapestries as exclusive prizes on Capcom Net Catcher.

In addition, Capcom is publishing new advertisements in Ikebukuro, Tokyo to promote this collaboration. The company has set up an advertisement video to play at Ikebukuro Hit Vision until November 3, 2024. It is also decorating windows and crane games inside Capcom Plaza Ikebukuro for a limited time.

Hololive Gamers will comprise the second wave in the overall collaboration. The first wave appeared in late September 2024, and it featured the four active Japanese third-generation VTubers, which are Usada Pekora, Shiranui Flare, Shirogane Noel, and Houshou Marine.

The Monster Hunter Hololive Gamers crossover merchandise will appear at Capcom's amusement centers across Japan in limited numbers starting from Friday, October 25, 2024.

Tamaki in Venus Vacation Prism - Dead or Alive Xtreme

Koei Tecmo confirmed Tamaki will be the fourth character in Venus Vacation Prism - Dead or Alive Xtreme. Players of the upcoming romance simulation game will be able to choose her as one of the six dateable heroines. Saori Onishi will also return to reprise her role as her Japanese voice actress role.

The fashion designer Tamaki made her debut in the original Japanese version of Venus Vacation in April 2018. She later joined the Asian English server roster in July 2019. Tamaki is arguably one of the title's most popular characters, as Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja actually added her to Dead or Alive 6 as a DLC character with an Aikido fighting style in March 2020.

The teaser trailer featuring Tamaki in Venus Vacation Prism is available to view via the game's official X account:

The first three characters revealed for Venus Vacation Prism are Misaki, Fiona, and Elise. All four characters revealed to date, including Tamaki, made their debuts in the original Venus Vacation free-to-play title. Koei Tecmo will reveal the last two characters on the next two Mondays.

Venus Vacation Prism - Dead or Alive Xtreme will be available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam and DMM Games in Southeast and East Asia including Japan in early 2025.
