WhilePersona 5: The Phantom Xhasn’t been out long, it has already started dropping a shocking amount of content. Metro Of Desire is easily the most robust bit we’ve received yet. Not only is this a convenient place to rack up resources and gather valuables, but it is an engaging, little rougelike in its own right. One of the core aspects is acquiring Lost Items, which are powerful artifacts that will do everything from leveling up your Charms to providing you with more Railway Coins....

Most board games have a clearly-defined winner at the end; whether it’s a first-past-the-post mechanic or a complex tally of victory points, somebody walks away from the table a winner. Of course, winning isn’t everything, and sometimes victory comes at a cost. There’s nothing wrong with trying to win a game you’re playing - that is the objective, after all - but a few games can leave winners feeling hollow, questioning if their fleeting moment of glory was worthwhile....

During today’sDisney Lorcana: The Next Chapter livestream, Ravensburger officially announced that this year’s World Championship will take place at the Disney World Resort on June 28-29. When the dates leaked early last week, Disney Lorcana’s new director of communications Greg Tito rushed to Twitch to share that this year’s event will be closed to the public, with only the 28 qualified players and their plus ones able to attend. This news came as a shock to the Disney Lorcana community, many of whom expected to be able to attend Worlds to watch the competition, celebrate the players, and participate in side events as they would at any other Disney Lorcana Challenge event....

If live-service games have a million haters, I’m one of them. If they have one hater, it’s me. If they have zero haters, I have died. If the world is against live-service games, I am with the world. If the world is for live-service games, I am against the world. And yet, I’m kinda hoping007 First Lightturns out to be a live-service game. That’s because developer IO Interactive’sHitman World of Assassinationis not like other live-service games, so I hope First Light won’t be either....

Quick Links Killing Floor 3has six different Specialists to choose from, each coming with their own unique set of skills and unique sidearm. While these Specialists don’t all fit into traditional-style roles, they do all function very differently, excelling at different things and with their own weak points. you’re able to play Killing Floor 3 entirely solo, but you can play it with up to six people overall in a party, too....

Eight sets down and two more to come before the end of 2025,Disney Lorcana’s The First Chapter almost feels like it released a lifetime ago at this stage. There might even be players among you who hadn’t even started collecting Lorcana cards when The First Chapter released, which is why Ravensburger is rolling out a very limited re-release of the TCG’s debut set. Announced during this weekend’s Lorcana World Championships,The First Chapter’s booster box is getting re-released in English, Chinese, and Japanese....

Persona 5: The Phantom Xwent from a beloved gacha game to a greedy cash grab in the eyes of most global players real quick. Earlier this month,Sega and Atlus managed to rile up the game’s global fanbaseby speeding up the game’s release schedule, while also offering less free currency and rewards than the game’s Chinese server and playerbase. Not only have global players been getting fewer Meta Jewels than Chinese players, but they have also received no additional codes and significantly fewer guaranteed banners....

Summary Pokemonhas a lot of plush lines to choose from, but none are more adorable than its still very new Sweet Support plushes. The problem is, the range is still so new that until now, there have only been four designs to choose from. That has now changed as the new additions to the collection mean you now have twice as many plush pairs available. Each Sweet Support plush features two Pokemon - a regular Pokemon paired with one of its pre-evolved or baby forms....

As expected, Pokemon has revealed its next TCG expansion. Dubbed Mega Evolution, the name of this one really gives away what’s inside extending 2025’s focus on Mega Evolved Pokemon from the upcoming Legends: Z-A to the TCG when the new expansion drops later this year. I think you’d be hard-pressed to find a year better than 2025 for thePokemon Trading Card Game. Things kicked off with the incredibly popular,incredibly hard to get hold of Prismatic Evolutions, and things went from strength to strength....

Quick Links Prophecy has received a loot refresh inDestiny 2’sRite of the Nine event. Four of the dungeon’s weapons have been reprised with a new suite of perks and a second origin trait.
