Battlefield 1 works so well because it has giant maps, environmental destruction, and vehicles. Each match feels like a complete war unto itself; the sense of chaos and obliteration is consistent to the subject matter. Rising Storm and Hell Let Loose are two other examples, multiplayer FPS games based on real conflicts where large lobbies and a litany of mechanics and modes help emphasize the extent of the carnage.

The Diablo-adjacent MMO launched in 2022 with a staggering 1.3 million concurrent Steam players, but over that year, that number trailed off. In 2025, the player count sits at around 20,000, and while that's respectable, it's a far cry from launch. That could all be about to change, however, as Smilegate's MMO has been slowly climbing back up after a recent major update. With some big changes to the core experience and multiple progression alterations to help players get reacquainted with the game, this could be Lost Ark's moment.

While the Steam Deck still holds up as the best handheld gaming PC for most people, this costly RMA quote is a cause for concern.

Kotobukiya announced it will one again sell its Xenosaga 3 model kit of KOS-MOS, which lets someone build an over five-inch tall figure of the character. It is available on both the Japanese and US online storefronts, and it costs 6,820 円/$60.99. It is expected to launch in Japan in November 2025, with a US release happening in December 2025. Older versions of the kit are still available on Amazon at higher prices.
Just like the original release, this Xenosaga 3 KOS-MOS model kit makes a 1/12 scale figure of the character. It features partially painted runners and four face plates that are already painted. However, some accents might require additional painting. Also, in the case of detailed characters such as this, it is recommended to also have items like nippers and files when putting it together. Both her standard and Fatima Glass Mode appearances are supported. Also, in addition to the heroine, we also get the partsto build her Dragon Tooth sword, handgun, and gatling guns.
Here's a closer look at the finished version of the figure and some poses we can make with her and her included accessories.

We've seen this exact kit quite a number of times, though it's been six years since the last rerelease. It first debuted in December 2017. The first rerun released in October 2018. October 2019 is the last time it appeared.
While it's been an extremely long time since KOS-MOS starred in a game, due to the Xenosaga series being over, she has appeared in titles since then. For example, both her and T-ELOS appeared in Project X Zone. She was a crossover character in Tales of the Rays too. In Xenoblade Chronicles 2, you could find her as a Rare Blade.
The Xenosaga 3 KOS-MOS figure model kit will return in Japan in November 2025 and in the US in December 2025. Kotobukiya recommended pre-ordering by May 20, 2025 to guarantee getting one. Xenosaga 1-3 are available on the PS2 worldwide, while Xenosaga 1 & 2 appeared on the DS.

Bandai Namco, FromSoftware, and Torch Torch announced that the company's next piece of Elden Ring merchandise is a replica of the Spectral Steed Whistle. It will cost 28,600円 (~$200), and it is expected to ship sometime in January 2026. Worldwide shipping is available via Buyee, however note that tariffs will likely apply and increase the costs or perhaps affect possible delivery fulfillment.
The Torch Torch Elden Ring Spectral Steed Whistle is designed to look exactly like the one Melina gives us to summon Torrent. It is plated 925 sterling silver. It is also designed to be artificially tarnished to better match the tool in-game. However, the company made sure to note that it is not an actual whistle and should not be put in anyone's mouth. It is available in US sizes 3.5 to 13, which spans from about 46mm to 68mm.
To help better highlight how the in-game tool resembles the real-world ring, Torch Torch released a picture comparing the two.

Another 2.0 Zenless Zone Zero character appeared, and this time it is a girl named Ju Fufu who happens to be a tiger Thiren. Like past Thiren characters such as Jane Doe, Nekomata, and Ellen Joe, she largely looks human, but has a few animal characteristics.
Ju Fufu is a member of the Yunkui Summit Faction. This is the new one found in the Waifei Peninsula region. In one Zenless Zone Zero announcement about her, HoYoVerse made clear that this girl will correct anyone who thinks she is an orange tabby cat and is not a tiger. She'll be a type of character who can Stun enemies with fire-based attacks. Also, it seems her weapon is also shown in her teaser image and video and involves a sort of tiger-shaped spiked ball with a tail.
Ju Fufu the tiger Thiren is one of three new characters confirmed for Zenless Zone Zero 2.0. Two others also appeared after the 1.7 update arrived. One we already knew would be a five-star debuting in 2.0. The other is new. Both are Yunkui Summit Faction members too.
In case you missed them, here's the teaser for Yixuan. She's the S-rank character we knew about and who featured prominently in 2.0 marketing.
Pan Yinhu is the new panda Thiren. He might end up being the new A-rank Agent.

While exploring the tundras of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, you'll meet a Grandis needing help with a frozen Carousel. Many have tried, but the ill fate of the gommage caused their disappearance. Now, it's your turn to find and fix it, and we'll guide you every step of the way.
Table of contents
Where to find the Carousel in Expedition 33
To find the Carousel in Expedition 33, reach Act 2 when you're heading to Old Lumiere. Go to Monoco's Station in the snowy region's center, where you'll unlock the final playable character.
![]()
Pass the Grandis Fashionist and turn left at the back of the building to be transported outside. Follow the pathway on the left to uncover the Carousel. If you need to rest or upgrade, there's a rest flag from Expedition 51 at the entrance. From there, walk straight ahead to start the Grandis' side quest. The good news is you won't have to face any battles. Without the threat of fighting, you can focus solely on the journey ahead.

How to fix the Carousel in Expedition 33
The Grandis will explain that the Carousel has stopped working and is trapped by the thick ice surrounding it. Despite its formidable strength, the Grandis can't break through the frozen barrier, but you can. Around the Carousel, you'll find three blocks of ice. While it may be tempting to use a weapon, don't bother—tools won't do the trick. Trust me, I've tried shooting it, and it didn't budge. Instead, you'll need to channel your inner power. Approach the ice and press the Strike button: F on PC, R1 on PlayStation, or RB on Xbox.
![]()
You'll know the Carousel is restored when a haunting melody begins to play, spinning through the frosty air as it comes back to life. Return to the Grandis, who will be deeply moved and forever grateful. Like the Gestral at the Flying Casino, they'll speak of a brighter time when humans and Grandis shared joy on the Carousel before the Fracture. If you choose to press further, they'll reveal more about the history of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's profound lore and their own tragic past. As a reward, you'll unlock the fashionable French Bob hairstyle for Maelle. Other members in the group can rock this hairstyle, too, and you'll most likely find them while browsing through the merchant's shop.

If you're looking for more adventures in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, take a left at the Carousel and head straight to discover the Frozen Hearts. This chilling zone is ideal for farming XP, but be warned, it's best tackled around Act 3 unless you're seriously grinding in Act 2. Alternatively, you can progress through the main story and eventually reach Old Lumiere, another challenging area that requires solid preparation, though it's more forgiving than the Frozen Hearts. For those eager to uncover additional hidden gems in Expedition 33, check out our guide on defeating the Chromatic Abbest boss.

Tisseur is one of the optional bosses you can encounter in Clair Obscur Expedition 33. If you're wondering how to locate and beat this boss, we have all the information you need to know.
Table of contents
Where to find Tisseur in Clair Obscur Expedition 33
In Clair Obscur Expedition 33, Tisseur is found in the Sewing Atelier in Sirene. To find it, you have to take the stairs near the Sewing Atelier Expedition Flag and then take a left to find a room with the massive figure of the boss.
This boss is weak against Fire Damage and is not hostile right away. You have to initiate the fighting sequence by selecting the "Yes" option when interacting with it, and the "Attack anyway?" prompt shows up.
How to defeat the Tisseur boss in Clair Obscur Expedition 33
The Tisseur boss is:
This means you have to use a combination of Fire and Light Damages to take this boss down. Lune is one of the best characters to defeat Tisseur. Thanks to her Fire Rage, she can deal more Fire Damage to the boss, which is one of the most crucial factors in taking Tisseur down.
The boss starts the battle by using the Cursed status effect on a character. The problem with this status effect is that as soon as it expires, it will kill the affected character at the end of its duration. To counter this, you have to end the battle before the eighth turn. Once you die, the curse gets removed.
![]()
Along with that, Tisseur has three attack patterns: Swipe Combo, Glissando Attack, and Smash Attack.
In the Swipe Combo, the Tisseur will start by pulling back its right fist before delivering a left-sided slam (twice in quick succession), followed by a brief pause, and then an upward swing. Soon after, it switches to its left fist and starts with right and left swings. You have to follow the movement of the boss's arm minutely and use Parry to counter the strikes.
In the Glissando Attack, watch out for the moment when the boss starts floating. You can use either Parry or Dodge to counter this attack, depending on your timing.
In the Smash Attack, your cue is when Tisseur's head comes forward. Immediately Dodge or Parry, and the boss will be defeated. You have to make sure your timing is good and quick.
Rewards after beating Tisseur
Once you beat the Tisseur, you get the following drops as rewards:
Now that you know how to locate and beat Tisseur in the game, be sure to check how to defeat the Chromatic Abbest boss in Clair Obscur Expedition 33.

As Cyrodiil seems to be stuck in an age of inflation, knowing how to get large sums of money in The Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion Remastered is game-changing, especially during your first hours.
But although the quality of the drops might make doing the above impossible, building your wealth is actually much easier than you might think. Here's the best way to farm money in Oblivion Remastered.
Table of contents
Best Oblivion Remastered money farming method
Just like in the original Oblivion, the best way to farm money (and get a lot of levels) in Oblivion Remastered can be done by producing and then selling potions, as they can range from 15 to 30 Gold each (initially). For this guide specifically, we'll be focusing on making Fatigue Potions by first harvesting their ingredients from three specific locations: Odiil Farm on Chorrol, Shetcombe Farm on Kvatch, and the Tarmika and Surilie Brothers Vineyards on Skingrad. You can check out the location of all areas below.
The above will feature enough Fatigue ingredients to make 150+ potions, even at Novice level. All ingredients will also respawn after three in-game days. Here are all of the Fatigue Potion ingredients you can expect to find at each area:
Now that you have all of the ingredients in hand, brew the potions, and then make a beeline to any city to sell them for a huge profit (around 3,000 to 4,000 Gold initially). To boost the value of your wares, don't forget to haggle with the buyer. Raising your Mercantile skill to at least Journeyman (level 50) can also be impactful here.
How to make potions in Oblivion Remastered
![]()
You can make potions in Oblivion Remastered by acquiring a Mortar and Pestle, at least two ingredients sharing the same property/effect (such as Carrot and Grape for Restore Fatigue), and then following the steps below:
To make brewing your potions a way more seamless affair, I recommend mapping your Mortar and Pestle into your shortcut wheel. To do that, find the item in your inventory and open the wheel before selecting which spot you wish to place it at.
How to get a free Mortar and Pestle
If you're going for an honorable route and don't have enough gold to buy a pestle at any Alchemy shop, you can get a free Mortar and Pestle in Oblivion Remastered by returning to the caves surrounding the Imperial Prison Sewers and heading to the area where you were taught how to sneak. Once there, you can find a Novice Mortar and Pestle sitting by the area's first fireplace.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a breath of fresh air in the RPG genre, and may change the way gamers feel about turn-based combat forever.
The debut game from Sandfall Interactive is full of JRPG tropes and clearly inspired by the games that came before it, but it also does a lot of great things unique to itself. Though it is, in the end, an RPG, and so there are some things we've come to expect from titles in the genre.
Just like in other RPGs like it, there are ways to befriend your party members, and sometimes be a little bit more than friends. Either way, it takes understanding of Relationship Levels in Expedition 33, and that's what we're here to help with.

In Expedition 33, Relationship Levels are ranked up with individual party members that reward everything from new Gradient Attacks, to special cutscenes, to even some romance. It's an indication of the friendship level that the main character has with Maelle, Lune, Sciel, Monoco, and Esquie.
As you play through the game's three acts, you can progress Relationship Levels to make sure you get the most out of every bit of dialogue in the game, along with some special additions that make every scene worth it in the end.
How to rank up Expedition 33 Relationship Levels
![]()
In general, Relationship Levels are are increased by spending time with each party member while at camp. Whenever you go to camp, talk to each member individually. If you can level up with them, you will be presented with the option to spend time with them.
Some of the conversations are timegated with the story line, but make sure to keep talking with them and exhaust all dialogue options, and always talk to each individual member at camp until the prompt to spend time with them no longer appears. Then, keep playing through the story until there are no more dialogue options or levels to be had.

To reach the final Relationship Level 7 for Lune, Maelle, and Monoco, you will be tasked with finishing loyalty missions for them in act three. Once acquired (again, by talking to party members at camp), these missions will be marked on your map with a red marker, easily flown to by Esquie:

If you've taken a fancy to Sciel, you can romance the tarot card and scythe for spicy off-screen cutscenes, too, along the way in her Relationship Level quest. Sciel will directly ask you to spend some night time together, and you're free to say yes. But, alas, like all good lust stories, it does have an ending.
Lune is the other romance option, and she has her own requirements, too, such as letting her watch you when she asks to observe you and then inviting her to play music with you.

In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Gestrals can be unpredictable, switching from charm to contempt in a heartbeat. The one at the Flying Casino prefers insults over idle talk, making every encounter a gamble. Here's how to speak to them and earn a reward in return.
Expedition 33 Flying Casino walkthrough
After beginning Act 3 and unlocking Esquie's Flying ability, you can travel to the Flying Casino, located west of one of the Gestral Beach challenges. Walk straight along the main pathway, and you'll come across an NPC who warns you about the Gestral guarding the Flying Casino—a figure nostalgic for a past they can't let go of. If you approach this Gestral as a human, they will tell you that they have "no interest in conversing with uncultured humans," forcing you to leave. Switch to Monoco instead, and their tone will change as they become more open and willing to talk.
![]()
With Monoco equipped, approach the wooden boards at the Flying Casino and accept the prompt to call out. The Gestral won't appear immediately, so you'll need to select "Yes" three times to coax it out. Unlike its harsh tone with humans, it greets you with a smooth "To what do I owe the pleasure of your company?", allowing you to ask more questions. It'll explain how it used to run the Flying Casino before the Fracture occurred, back when everything was a time of joy. But, of course, that all changed when the gommages started to happen.
Continue the conversation, and the Gestral will reward you with the Lumiere outfit for Monoco. While there are several dialogue options, none of them are right or wrong. Even if you insult the Gestral by the end, you'll still receive the reward. This outfit adds a touch of style to Monoco's look, featuring a fashionable suit that resembles those worn around Lumiere—hence its title, the Lumiere outfit. The rest of the party can also match this elegant theme, such as Verso's Renoir's Suit from the main campaign. If you're looking to expand your wardrobe further, be prepared to spend. Additional outfits can cost quite a bit when striking a deal with a merchant, and you can even unlock hidden gear if you fight them.

Since the Flying Casino shut down, there's not much to do except talk to the Gestrals. However, you can find the Reveries Dans Paris music record behind the Flying Casino. Use it whenever you set up camp to set the perfect mood. There are plenty of musical records scattered across the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 map, and with Esquie's Flying ability, reaching them is much easier.
As you explore, you will also encounter a host of other creature-based quests, such as the trickster Gestral Gambler and the Ono-Puncho challenge. These encounters reward you with exclusive outfits, expanding your wardrobe for the entire party. While this gear doesn't provide practical buffs, they are a fantastic way to personalize your team.

Weekly BitLife challenges frequently ask you to pursue various part-time and full-time jobs related to specific themes. While some require years of school and work experience, others are entry-level careers with minimal requirements. Despite lifeguards requiring extensive training in the real world, BitLife's version is much easier.
Table of contents
How to become a lifeguard in BitLife
BitLife's lifeguard career is a part-time position you can find by navigating to Occupation and Part-Time Jobs. You'll unlock this menu after your character reaches their teenage years, with the lifeguard job available when they turn 15.
Like the full-time job list, your part-time options vary, with lifeguard among your possible choices. If you don't see it right away, close and reopen the BitLife app or age up and recheck the list. It'll appear with an "SOS" emoji and a "Swimming Pool" description next to its name.
![]()
Unlike full-time jobs, you won't need any work experience or formal education to pursue this position. You also don't need an interview. Instead, you just need enough time in your character's schedule to take on the role before applying for the job. They'll deny you if you have a criminal record or poor health, but your odds of success are high.
Although you can't get promoted in this role, you can view the job's activities by heading into your Jobs menu and selecting Lifeguard. Here, you can work hard to improve your performance, ask for a raise to make extra money or change your hours if you have room in your schedule. Similarly, you can resign from the role if you're tired of working as a lifeguard.
Why should you become a lifeguard in BitLife?
There are multiple benefits to pursuing part-time jobs in BitLife. Since you don't unlock full-time careers until your character turns 18, having a part-time position lets you save up some extra money to pay for college or university if you go that route. Even if you don't attend school after high school, you can work part-time alongside a full-time position for some side income.
The lifeguard position, in particular, helps complete the Hot Wet Summer challenge. In this challenge, you need to create a Brazilian character who becomes a lifeguard, water slide tester, and a famous adult film star throughout their life. While the other two jobs are regular full-time positions you can find with luck, the lifeguard option is easy to miss if you've never pursued it as a part-time job in other playthroughs.
Aside from this, it isn't the highest-paying job out there, so you won't be able to rely on it too much as a long-term career. But this can be a fun and rewarding option if you want to challenge yourself to survive on a relatively low income or work hard to receive raises regularly.

The Chromatic Abbest is certainly one of the harder bosses to defeat in Clair Obscur Expedition 33, and it can become a real pain if you're not careful.
In general, bosses in Expedition 33 are hard to defeat and difficult to manage. You'll have to take some time to understand how they operate and compose your team accordingly. However, the Chromatic Abbest takes the difficulty to a new level, but this guide will make it easy for you to manage the situation.
Best tips and tricks to defeat the Chromatic Abbest in Clair Obscur Expedition 33
There are two key elements when it comes to defeating the Chromatic Abbest.
The attacks are a double-edged sword. They're easy to anticipate and follow a repetitive pattern, which makes it easy for you to avoid and dodge the attacks, but you'll have to get this right. Chromatic Abbest has deadly attacks that can create massive combos in Clair Obscur Expedition 33. Between parries and dodges, the latter is beneficial. It offers a bigger window, allowing you to avoid any incoming damage completely.
In terms of attacks, elemental damage is the way to go. Chromatic Abbest has incredible resistance to all forms of Physical attacks. However, it's neutral to elemental damage. It's best to go for longer combos that specialize in elemental damage to get the best results.
You'll also want to bring characters who do Dark and Light damage. You'll deal more damage by doing so, which will help eliminate the boss. You can take advantage of this method once you have cleared a certain amount of the story.
![]()
Finally, try to shoot at the Chromatic Abbest's middle eye to do a lot of damage. This move can be done once in the battle, so make sure to take advantage of it.
All Chromatic Abbest rewards in Clain Obscur Expedition 33
Defeating the Chromatic Abbest might not be an easy job, but you'll get plenty of amazing rewards for completing the task.
You can find these creatures in the Abbest Cave. You'll have to take a left after exiting Spring Meadows. You'll find a spot with ping vines. Since the Abbest Cave is an optional area, the same applies to the boss. You can defeat it as many times as you want to level up and obtain various rewards.

With Overwatch 2 now years into a live-service schedule of seasonal content, Blizzard Entertainment may be looking down at their mobile devices for inspiration on where to bring the series next.
That's right, folks. The world could always use more heroes...on mobile. This information came today from Korean outlet MTN, spilling the beans that Blizzard has teamed up with THE FINALS publisher Nexon to release an Overwatch MOBA for mobile phones, and it's being "referred to internally as Overwatch 3."
![]()
I'm sure this is going to go over well with Blizzard fans, judging by the company's history with taking beloved franchises mobile. But as is the case with any report, this should be taken with a grain of salt for now, as it may be several years before we can get any sort of confirmation.
One hopefully unequivocal piece of good information out of the MTN report is that Blizzard is also trying to find a publisher and developer for something in the StarCraft universe, which has been dormant for quite some time. Previously, reports suggested the company may be working on a shooter game to revive that franchise.
"In the case of Overwatch Mobile, the condition proposed by Blizzard was 'distribution rights limited to Korea and Japan,' which was considered to be out of line with the expectations of domestic game companies that wanted global rights," the translated report said. StarCraft has always been a largely successful game in the region.
But, when it comes to Overwatch, its future may be mobile and may be MOBA. Does that excite anyone? Maybe? Personally, not for me. I enjoy OW2 as a shooter, and not so much as a mobile game or a MOBA. Could a MOBA work? I guess? I kind of liked Heroes of the Storm, but is it what fans and players want?
I'm not sold on the Overwatch 3 angle in any of this. An OW MOBA may be the third title in the franchise, which is where the number comes from. But for a direct sequel that made the franchise a global phenomenon to be a mobile MOBA after an FPS? It doesn't make much sense.
Honestly, I'm not sure about any of this, but we could maybe hear more about what the company is planning for its multiple IPs at BlizzCon...in September 2026.

The many merchants across the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 map offer rare items and unique fashion upgrades. Some goods remain unavailable, hinting at a missing expeditioner. Here's what you need to do to find them.
Where to find the missing expeditioner in Expedition 33
When you've been locked out of an item at a merchant's shop, it means one of two things: you haven't found all the playable characters, or you went past a point of no return after Act 1. In addition to Gustave, you'll need to find the following members:
Most of the Expedition 33 characters can be found during Act 1, starting with Gustave, Lune, and Maelle in your main party. Then, once you battle through the Gestral Village tournament, you'll add Sciel. The last two members, Verso and Monoco, won't appear until the transition between Act 1's conclusion and Act 2's beginning. Reaching this point could take a while, especially if you're hunting for side quests like Jar's light and Hexga's lustrous rocks. It could take around 10 hours to complete the entire ensemble, but it may be less if you focus solely on the story objectives.
Upon discovering a new character, you can return to the merchant to see if the outfit is ready to purchase.
![]()
If the merchant still shows the "missing expeditioner" prompt, you've likely passed the point of no return already. Even so, a hidden method might still exist; I've just yet to come across any evidence pointing to one. There's a significant reason why certain content from the merchant remains inaccessible, and those curious can read on. As you'd expect, major Act 1 spoilers are ahead.
Why can't I find the missing expeditioner after unlocking all the playable characters in Expedition 33?
The reason you can't find the missing expeditioner, even with all playable characters, is the gear from the merchant was designated explicitly for Gustave. If you're well past Act 1, you already know his fate, so it makes sense the merchant no longer offers his gear once he's unavailable. The only chance to unlock it was during Act 1, and sadly, you can't return to that part of the story unless you start a new save or begin a New Game Plus. Since Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 doesn't allow manual saving, it's nearly impossible to backtrack to specific points. But there may still be hope if you've just entered Act 2. Check your available save files in case one is from just before that transition. The window is short, but it's worth checking.
![]()
Beyond the missing expeditioners in Expedition 33, Gustave's content from other areas will also be inaccessible. For example, after completing the Gestral Beach challenge, I was supposed to unlock Gustave's exclusive swimsuit. Due to my current progress, though, no gift appeared. This is just one of many pieces of skipable content, so I highly recommend exploring every inch of the map before you miss out on valuable rewards. Alternatively, you could always try again for your next playthrough and make the most of your time with Gustave. Just ensure you visit the same merchants you encountered before to unlock all of his gear in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

Respawn Entertainment has revealed the Apex Legends Season 25 anthem trailer, where they have introduced a new Legend, Sparrow.
According to the lore, Sparrow is "an agile archer here to show off his skills and own the spotlight." Let's dive a little deeper and go over everything we know.
Table of contents
All potential Sparrow abilities in Apex Legends
Being an archer, his main weapon will be a bow and three arrows in the back, at least according to the latest Anthem Trailer.
At the 0:57 mark of the video, the arrow that Sparrow shot electrified three Legends standing in front of the upcoming character. This means one of his abilities can potentially include electrocuting enemies with his arrows.
As for the second ability, tune in to the 1:21 mark of the video, and you can see Sparrow attaching a Frag Grenade to one end of his arrow and shooting it. It then explodes near Fuse's face. This means his other ability could allow him to shoot these throwables further than a throw could launch them.
At the time of writing, Sparrow's ultimate ability is a little hard to guess as the trailer did not reveal it. It could be that one of the aforementioned abilities could be his ultimate, but only time will confirm that.
![]()
What's new in Apex Legends Season Prodigy apart from Sparrow?
Apart from Sparrow, Apex Legends Season Prodigy will also bring some new updates for the Bocek. The Ranked mode will also get fresh updates. Respawn is yet to reveal all the details. Once that happens, as the Season 25 launch date nears, we will make sure to update that here.
Sparrow will be the 27th Legend to join the roster, and going by everything shown in the trailer, he could very well belong to the Assault class, along with the likes of Ash, Ballistic, Bangalore, Fuse, and Mad Maggie.

It only makes sense that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's characters would have a wide array of glorious fashion styles to customize with. The French sure are stylish.
The turn-based RPG game has a massive array of costumes and haircuts to collect, from the ridiculous and silly to serving looks in the most serious manner possible, and I've been having a blast in the open world trying to buy and collect all of them.
![]()
After sticking with default looks throughout the game's storyline so as not to sully the base experience, I have gotten way more adventurous with my party and have been serving looks while serving parries and dodges against all sorts of nasty Nevrons as I edge towards the end game.
As I rushed through the story to finish my review of the game, I remained laser-focused on the main missions and content without straying too much from the linear path, but everything changes when you get to act three and unlock the ability for Esquie to fly.
I won't say anything more than that for story spoilers, but being able to openly explore the map is where some of the most fun can be had, and definitely some of the most exciting and audacious outfits to collect, like the Danseuse outfit for Lune and Sciel.
I found Lune's Danseuse skin and immediately fell in love with it after getting it as a reward from a Nevron teaching dance moves in the Frozen Heart dungeon. I had to successfully parry about 15-20 of her moves in succession in order to get it, so now I'm going to wear it with pride.
But also, it's an incredibly ethereal look. Combined with the French Bob hairstyle, Lune is winning the competition for best-looking Expeditioner in my crew at the moment, but that can change at any time. The odds-on favorites among the community thus far are the swimsuit costumes, for obvious reasons, but I imagine that may change over time as more are discovered.
![]()
I can't suggest enough to really get into the weeds and clear out the map, especially as you advance towards or even pass the climax of the story. No worries, there's no "point of no return" here either. Once you finish the story, you go back to the checkpoint right before the final mission and can do whatever you like in the open world. And honestly, you'll want to finish the story before exploring the map anyway, because some of the enemies found in dungeons and wandering the map itself are way too difficult to fight until you're fully leveled up.
The Continent is filled with mysteries and lengthy dungeons bursting with various valuable items. Frozen Heart had everything from multiple boss fights with rewards, specific Pictos, and other items like Colour of Lumina to pick up. But there was also a vendor who had another costume to sell me, so I am now obsessed with searching every corner of every point of interest on the game's big map.
The sheer amount of costumes in the game, along with the fact that they are free to find and unlock (other than a handful included in the Deluxe Edition), is such a refreshing thing in 2025, as is seemingly everything else about the game. And because of this, I want to look as good as I can while nailing satisfying parries across the continent.
I'm well on the way towards maxing out the levels of my characters to maximize our "joint slay" both when it comes to fashion and one-shotting enemies with powerful parries, and I really don't see myself quitting the game any time soon, although I finished the story over a week ago.
![]()
As you can see above, I have had Sciel let her hair down, I gave Verso a beret and sunglasses along with a bad-ass red and black outfit, Maelle has gone pure white along with some short white hair, and Monoco is looking devilishly handsome in a Gestral tuxedo. I love them all so much.
But now it's your turn. Show me your Expeditioner fashion. Sound off in the comments below with your favorite outfits and haircuts for our heroes.

The TOTS Ligue 1 Cup is now live in EA FC 25, and you can win plenty of rewards by playing and winning Friendlies.
This is the first cup theme around the ongoing TOTS promo. You'll have to use a customized squad to participate in and win games. There are certain milestones to complete that unlock unique rewards for your Ultimate Team squad. This guide will give you all the info you need to snag all the available rewards.
Complete TOTS Ligue 1 Cup guide
There are six tasks to complete if you're looking to unlock every available reward. Some of the tasks will be easier to complete, while the remaining ones will take longer.
There are pros and cons to this cup. The advantage is that the tasks demand less wins and the rewards are better. You can get up to two different TOTS items by completing all the tasks, along with a host of packs.
The major con is the win requirement. There are no milestones you can get by purely playing matches. You have to play and win the games to qualify for the rewards. This isn't a major concern, but it can be difficult if you're a beginner. Nevertheless, you should complete the full set as quickly as possible to earn the rewards. If you're looking to enjoy the great evolutions, The Specialist is the perfect way to upgrade a card of your choice.

Although Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is full of danger and deadlines, there's still time for sparks to fly. Sciel, with her carefree spirit and infectious optimism, is one character you can grow close to. If you're hoping for more than just friendship, here's how to romance her along the way.
Table of contents
Expedition 33 Sciel romance guide
If you have yet to unlock Sciel, you'll have to progress further in Act 1 by completing the Gestral Village main storyline. There's a lot to do here, including answering the Gestral Gambler's riddle, but the one you want to focus on is the task involving the tournament. Once you've conquered this battle, you must reach Act 2 to begin romancing Sciel.
![]()
When setting up camp, you can spend time with various characters, increasing your Relationship level. Speak to Sciel and always accept her offer to spend time with her. Those who don't see this option may need to continue with the story, as these dialogue options gradually appear throughout the game. Based on my experience, you can sometimes spend extra time during a camp session, which allows you to make up for any time you may have missed. You must speak to Sciel until you reach Relationship Level 4. Be warned: accepting this partner may lock you out of other potential romances, but I'm still working through the ending to see what actually happens.
Relationship Level 4 correct answer
Things take a turn on the night you're transitioning Sciel's Relationship Level from 3 to 4, which most likely happens after your first Axon takedown. Instead of asking for a story, she leans in with a mischievous glint in her eye and says she's in the mood for something a little more… adventurous. Something with a thrill—maybe even a little frisky, if you catch my drift. When she teases, "So?", respond with a confident smirk and say, "Do you even need to ask?"
![]()
You'll be hit with a classic fade-to-black screen, showcasing a description that states, "Verso and Sciel became more than friends." Not only will your Relationship increase, but you'll also get Sciel's exclusive Gradient Attack, Doom.
Relationship Level 5 correct answer
After you've eliminated the second Axon in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's storyline, you'll get another shot at romance upon reaching Level 5 in Sciel's Relationship level. She'll prompt you with another secret rendezvous when she states, "And by today, I mean tonight." Choose "I feel used. But I like it."
![]()
While you'll share two unforgettable nights with Sciel, don't expect things to get official between you. In fact, both Sciel and Verso make it clear this romance is just a fling with no strings attached. You'll even have a couple of chances to turn her down, opening the door for a potential new love interest in Expedition 33. The romance scenes are mostly there for your enjoyment, offering no buffs like you might find in other RPGs. Still, unlocking a new Gradient Attack is pretty nice, especially with Sciel's Dark energy that can wipe out enemies across the battlefield.

Overwatch 2's latest crossover collab goes live tomorrow, and it unsurprisingly features a new skin for Mercy, but it just might be my favorite new skin of hers in a long time.
OW2 and Gundam Wing are teaming up for the 30th anniversary of the classic anime series filled with mech battles, and Blizzard's favorite healer has the honor of donning the armor of the series' titular suit, Wing Zero.
![]()
The premium skin is one of four coming as part of the collab, alongside Ramattra as Epyon, Reaper as Deathscythe, and Soldier: 76 as Tallgeese. Mercy's the clear winner here when it comes to recognizable faces from the Gundam brand, making it a winning combo for both franchises.
OW2's Gundam Wing event will run alongside the skins being available in the store, offering exclusive rewards like the Shinigami player title and Zero System spray, along with battle pass XP and other unlockables.
This is just the latest in a growing line of collabs between OW2 and legendary anime franchises. There are already anime skins in the game from iconic series like Cowboy Bebop, Avatar: The Last Airbender, One Punch Man, and My Hero Academia. And that's not even including others like Porsche, LE SSERAFIM, and Transformers, so Blizzard has certainly gotten the bag when it comes to crossovers.
With so many collabs in the past setting a precedent for what to expect from the skins and their bundles, Blizzard confirmed that each individual hero bundle (including a skin, spray, and other animations) will cost 2,700 Overwatch Coins each, while the mega bundle including all skins and items will be 5,900 OW Coins.
The collab kicks off tomorrow on April 29 with the skins hitting the store, and they will be available until May 13, as will the challenges for players to grind through.
