According to the post, miHoYo is aiming for updates “every six weeks,” with patches arriving on Wednesdays. The studio says that patches won’t just be technical fixes and the like either, as each will come “with its own themed activities....

My goodness, it’s actually happening After a basic tease last week, Niantic has detailed the soon-to-launch Trainer Battles inPokémon GO. You can face other Pokémon trainers by scanning the unique Battle Code associated with their account. “While Trainers will usually have to be nearby in order to initiate a Trainer Battle, Ultra Friends and Best Friends can challenge each other from any distance,” noted the developer. Each trainer picks three Pokémon, and battles are organized under a league structure....

A well-hidden harbour One of the cheekiest challenges you’ll come across in the Wizarding World is finding the Underground Harbour inHogwarts Legacy.Tasked by Professor Weasley, she wants you to find a secluded harbour (or harbor for our American friends) located in Hogwarts. You’ll need to scour the castle grounds for this weirdly placed Underground Harbour in Hogwarts. Thankfully, this guide will tell you exactly where to find the Underground Harbour inHogwarts Legacy....

While guns, gear, and Stratagems can typically do the job inHelldivers 2, there’s certainly no reason not to get a little more help in spreading democracy across the galaxy. Boosters are passive buffs you’re able to get and equip inHelldivers 2, and they’re worth the price. Boosters can be unlocked inHelldivers 2via Warbonds(the game’s version ofseasonal content). They’re not exactly cheap, with some appearing as exclusive Premium Warbond unlocks. But you should consider unlocking them as soon as you may, as they can be a great boon for you and your team....

Once you’ve got Daisy Duck inDisney Dreamlight Valley, you’re only one step away from unlocking her Boutique and being able to show off your Touch of Magic designs. If you’ve already completed Daisy’s house and been inside, you’ve already seen the Boutique, too. The Fashion Boutique, as we come to discover, was shrunk down when Daisy left the Valley to avoid the Forgotten. It’s now sitting in the middle of her house, ready to be regrown and placed in the valley....

Ready to cut through legions ofZeldaopponents a laDynasty Warriors? Tecmo Koei’sHyrule Warriorsis releasing in Japan for Wii U this summer, according to a document recently released by Nintendo. As far as how long it’ll be until we can get our hands on the game, well, that’s to be determined. Hyrule Warriorslooks as though it could be a big bounty of silly fun, but I can’t help thinking that it’s going to be one of those titles I sit down with for an hour or two and then shelve for something decidedly meatier....

But only until Sunday Sunburnis an award-winning game on iTunes about leading a group of stranded space explorers, dangerously close to the sun, doomed to die a boring death by asphyxiation. What would you do if you had no hope for survival and a limited time to live, and you just happened to within space-jumping distance from the sun? The choice is obvious, right? Any old goof can die from lack of oxygen, but the opportunity to see the sun that close only comes once in a lifetime....

Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson talk about meeting Here’s a fun bit of trivia: Ashley Johnson, Ellie inThe Last of Us, almost got into a fight with one of the actors first considered for the role of Joel. A heated push during acting and subsequent push back almost led to fists flying, apparently. Later, cloyingly sweet Troy Baker would arrive and handle the role pretty well. Baker and Johnson reminisce a bit on the early goings in this interview, while Baker taps into the sort of creepy, “I just wanted to protect you,” mindset that probably made him work well in the role, but is a bit unsettling in real life....

You can’t all say Stunfisk We’re just a few short days away from the launch ofPokémon Ultra SunandUltra Moon, the last two mainlinePokémongames to appear on a dedicated handheld console. Yes this Friday millions of people around the world will be popping in one of the two games and starting what I can only imagine is a 25-hour tutorial where everybody in Alola treats you like a coma patient who just awoke to find out Pokémon are real and ready to battle for your amusement like the sicko you are....
