     Destiny 2 Iron Banner dates, start time, rewards, and quest

Destiny 2 Iron Banner is always an exciting time for PvP aficionados, with the most skillful of players being rewarded handsomely with exotic armour, weapons, and unique shaders. Iron Banner doesn't come around often, so it's important to know exactly when you'll be able to compete with the best of the best in the fiercely competitive multiplayer mode.

Iron Banner is a staple of the FPS game, celebrating Destiny 2's PvP activities at their most chaotic. Although it operates similarly to Crucible, this special timed event offers a limited set of rewards that players can only get by completing Iron Banner activities. It's available to all players in the free PC game, regardless of whether they own in-game expansions or seasonal DLC.

As of today, Ni no Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom and all its DLC are available via Xbox Game Pass. Level-5's JRPG is set long after the events of the first game, has a new cast of characters, changes up combat a lot, and adds a sizeable kingdom management element to the game. I know people who like it and people who hate it, which in itself makes it interesting.

There are also a bunch of games leaving Game Pass at the end of the month, including Chinatown Detective Agency.

Atelier Ryza 3 recipe

Sony is promoting the release of the upcoming Atelier Ryza 3 in a very peculiar way. A Twitter video shared by Playstation Japan shows the real-world recreation of a very peculiar recipe, one that could be familiar to those who played Atelier Ryza 2 or is preparing for 3. The recipe in question is the Sarding, a pudding made out of, well, sardines.

The video shows in (rather excruciatingly painful) detail every step required to create this sweet and savory "dish." The video adds a fun twist, since the chef attempting to create the dish is none other than Ryza herself. She can be seen collecting the ingredients in-game, with real-world first person point of view when creating the dish. You can check out the recipe in the tweet below, if you have the stomach for it, that is.

https://twitter.com/PlayStation_jp/status/1637650170707075078

The Atelier Ryza 2 in-game description for the Sarding recipe reads: "A salty pudding snack. Really, it's just a bit of pudding topped with a sardine. It looks terrible, frankly, but it's surprisingly delicious!"

In more appetizing Atelier Ryza news, Gust recently announced that the first Atelier Ryza game will have an anime adaptation, alongside showing the final trailer for Atelier Ryza 3.

Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key will release for the PS4, PS5, Switch, and PC on March 23, 2023 in Japan and March 24, 2023 worldwide.

Midnight Suns Morbius

The latest addition to the Midnight Suns' ragtag roster of supernatural heroes Dr. Michael Morbius. He is the third DLC character to join the team after Deadpool and Venom, who arrived in January 2023 and February 2023 respectively. The full roster of DLC heroes was originally released back in October, and indicates that X-men member Ororo "Storm" Munroe will be the final character to join.

The Midnight Suns Morbius DLC pack, titled "The Hunger," is available standalone or as part of the season pass bundle. It will contain the character himself as well as related story missions, a new 'Laboratory' upgrade for the Abbey, and new 'Vampyre' enemies. Morbius appears to be a character specialising in applying and exploiting bleed debuffs and as such pairs well with Blade, the Midnight Suns' other vampire member. You can see the release trailer here, or watch Firaxis' character deep dive below:
