PCGamesN Tuesday, February 25, 2025 6:00 PM  If you are anything like me, you wish far more games would learn lessons from Silent Hill and Resident Evil. These classics still hold up, not just as tightly constructed video games, but as major works of art in their own right. Silent Hill 2's descent into purgatory is unforgettable and Resident Evil's mansion is still one of the most satisfying and intricate puzzles in gaming. Luckily, retro survival horror is in the middle of a major revival. Upcoming game Heartworm looks to expand the still-incredible genre's legacy, albeit with a camera rather than a pistol and flashlight, and you can try it right now.

Despite a tie-in anime and a sequel, the MMORPG has been dormant for many years, but it just got a revitalization. The shiny new remake, Blade and Soul Neo, has arrived and you can play it right now.

Tamashii Nations announced the release of a new store limited edition Hello Kitty Chogokin mech figure. The figure costs 9,900 yen (or about $66.42) and will be available exclusively from the Tamashii Store on April 2025.
The new Hello Kitty mech figure is articulated and can be set in a variety of poses, ranging from the iconic Hello Kitty sitting and looking sideways pose, standing up, or even flying using her hair bow wings. Additionally, the eyes of the figure can change to imitate different mech "expressions," and Hello Kitty can also shoot her fist out like a rocket.
Different parts are included as well, such as a Chogokin base decorated with Hello Kitty's bow, and the aforementioned bow wings, which can be transformed into diving flippers. A miniature Hello Kitty is also included, and she can be posed on the pedestal next to the main figure.
You can check out the Hello Kitty mech figure in more detail here:
The Chogokin line of mech figures originates from the name of the alloy used to make the titular mech in the Mazinger Z anime, and the toy line has existed since the 1970s. Some recent Chogokin figures include the Chogokin Tamagotchi Robo figure, or a fitting line of Paradox Pokemon Iron Bundle and Iron Moth figures that appeared as exclusive creatures in Pokemon Violet.
The Hello Kitty Chogokin mech limited figure costs 9,900 yen (~$66.42) and will appear on the Tamashii Store sometime on April 2025.

Japanese merchandise manufacturer GARRACK will release a second series of Attack on Titan inspired knives. This product will be limited to Japan, but consumers within the country will get a second chance at obtaining these items. Inspired by the weapons used to defeat Titans, consumers can purchase these items through the GARRACK online store.
The knife brand NiNJA will handle production of the knives themselves. In May 2024, GARRACK released a video, showcasing this product. You can watch the video below:
As mentioned previously, these knives are inspired by the weapons used in Attack on Titan. That being the case, they feature the same segmented detail, and even a unique handle. The knives will cost 19,800 yen or $132. The items can be ordered through a middle-man service directly through the GARRACK online store.
More information as to when the knives will be available to pre-order will appear sometime in the future. This will also include when this second wave of knives will be shipped to consumers. For now, consumers can sign up for a mailing list to receive an alert once the item is available.
In January 2025, a set of Attack on Titan sukajan jackets were announced. A total of two jackets are available, with four other clothing items announced alongside them. This includes t-shirts and a hoodie. These items are immediately available to purchase.

Koei Tecmo shared some screenshots and revealed various details about the collaboration outfit with Japanese artist Yom (also known as Yomu) that will be available in Venus Vacation Prism – Dead or Alive Xtreme. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]
The Yom collaboration costume is an office secretary outfit and it will be available as part of the Digital Deluxe Edition of Venus Vacation Prism – Dead or Alive Xtreme, and can also be acquired by purchasing the Digital Deluxe Upgrade for owners of the standard edition of the game. The main feature of the costume is that the denier of the tights can be selected in 5 different levels, ranging from 30 to 110. Additionally, the color of the tights can be changed between black or beige.
You can check out the collaboration outfit here:
While the Yom-designed outfit is available as a downloadable bonus, the developers of Venus Vacation Prism – DOAX confirmed that the game won't have any post-launch DLC in the form of extra girls or episodes, so this should be the only exclusive outfit available in the game.
Venus Vacation Prism – Dead or Alive Xtreme will come out for the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam and DMM Games on March 27, 2025. The game was delayed by 3 weeks from its original March 6 release date.

In an interview with Famitsu, Ryu ga Gotoku Studio Chief Producer Hiroyuki Sakamoto and Chief Director Ryosuke Horii opened up about development on Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. More specifically, both Horii and Sakamoto shared details about sailing in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza, and how difficult it was to develop this system. [Thanks, Famitsu!]
Up until the end of the development process, Sakamoto was worried about this key feature in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza. He also mentions that the development team ended up working through several concepts, while Horii elaborated that from the beginning the idea primarily focused on strengthening the crew and expanding the range of actions available to the ship. Horii went on to, jokingly, say that Ryu ga Gotoku Studio has always been stronger on land.
Horii ended up becoming the studio's proverbial guinea pig. He mentions that since he's arguably the worst at playing games on the team, that if he couldn't make it through one of the test segments, adjustments would be made. Overall, the sailing system in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii ended up working out, with some difficult adjustments made because of Horii.
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is a spin-off game in the Like a Dragon (or Yakuza) series. It stars Goro Majima, one of the series most recognizable characters, as he sets off on an adventure to regain his memories and wreak havoc on the seas of Hawaii.
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One and PC.

The latest update 11.1 for World of Warcraft: The War Within has been released but many people are having trouble playing due to the BLZ51903006 error when trying to connect to the authentication servers.
How to fix BLZ51903006 and WOW51900319 errors
For most players, the only way to fix errors BLZ51903006 and WOW51900319 in World of Warcraft patch 11.1 is to simply wait until the servers are not so congested. With the release of World of Warcraft: The War Within Update 11.1 also known as Season 2, many players are trying to login and play which is causing the authentication servers to crash. According to Blizzard, they are aware of the issue and are currently investigating and trying to resolve the issue.
This is pretty standard for major World of Warcraft updates like 11.1, as players have to wait all day for the servers to come back up so everyone tries to connect at once right when they come up. It typically lasts for about an hour or so and then enough people have gotten in that it lessens up the congestion on the login and authentication servers which starts getting more people in the game.
Other Solutions for error BLZ51903006
If you are sure the servers are no longer congested and it's past the 11.1 update release day which is February 25, 2025, and you are still receiving error BLZ51903006, you might have some other issues going on. The Blizzard support website confirms that the BLZ51903006 error is typically caused by a connection issue. As such, here are some things you can try to resolve the error:

In the newly released Enigma of Sepia, there are various meta team comps that an carry you through the different types of gameplay. We've put together the best meta team comps in Enigma of Sepia for all forms of content.
Best Meta Team Comps
The most important team you can put together in Enigma of Sepia is going to carry you through most of the PvE elements of the game. This includes the story and all other post-game content. For the absolute best overall meta team comp in Enigma of Sepia you are going to want a team comprised of four specific characters and then two other characters from a select pool. Let's start by doing over the four specific characters you want as part of your best overall team:
Best Overall Team
Once you have those four characters, you have the freedom of slotting in two more characters from a pool of eight. Some of these characters will synergize with each other (Like Bipolaris and Crimson) while others can be interchanged without issue. As a whole, you want to select two of these characters to add to your best overall team:
Best Assist Counter Team
Now let's go over the best meta counter team in Enigma of Sepia, which is a great team for PvP. In fact, this team won the Enigma of Sepia PvP tournament in Asia, which is proof that this team is certainly the meta for PvP.
Best Control Team
Next up, we have the best meta control team in Enigma of Sepia. This team focuses on locking down the enemy team so you can take them out one-by-one. It's ideally best for PvP, though in some situations it can be decent for PvE as well.
Best Execute Team
Finally, let's go over the best meta execute team for Enigma of Sepia which focuses on finishing off enemies when they reach lower health. This is an incredibly powerful team in PvP and while the units are going to require more investment than others, it will be a strong team that will dominate others. Keep in mind this team will require most characters to be at max rank, so it will require a lot of premium resources.
