As part of the Fireworks Season update toInfinity Nikki, a bunch of new content has been added, including main quests, random quests, and even some side tasks that are easy to overlook. The New Bloom Festival is now active, and one of its events is the Whim Tangram Event. The Whim Tangram Event is a lime-locked event with a new puzzle unlocking every two days while the event is active. The first of these Tangrams is available to complete as soon as you log in after July 23, 2025, with others unlocking every two days after that....

Readers have obtained messages from Amazon The Mega Man and Sonic amiibo are due on February 20, apart from the rest of Wave 3, but things aren’t looking great for the Blue Bomber. Hundreds of users have reported delays for Mega Man by way of Amazon, myself included. It looks like the figure will not arrive until March. Here’s another key thing to note: you will have to “approve” the delay, lest Amazon cancels your order....

Oh, that Hideo Kojima! Everything he touches turns to Troll Dust, and the “announcement” ofMetal Gear Solid 5is no exception. It turns outOfficial PlayStation Magazinewas a little bit liberal with its wording when itteased itsMGS5news, as Kojima didn’t confirm anything … yet. Turns out that the mad genius said, “I think we’ll probably have to make it at some point, but what that will be, we have no idea,” when talking aboutMetal Gear Solid 5....

What did we do to deserve him? Watch as Mr. Miyamoto reveals his favorite ways to play#SuperMarioRunon the go!pic.twitter.com/MboONwsdsw — Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica)June 08, 2025 In talking upSuper Mario Run‘s one-handed game design, Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto recently went on the record to say that it’s possible to play the upcoming mobile title while “riding the subway or, my favorite, eating a hamburger.” That was a mental image well worth conjuring, but now we don’t have to use our imaginations....

Mutant deer Every role-playing game and its grandma claims to change drastically based on decisions made in game, yet almost none of them live up to it. French developer Spiders (The Technomancer,The Testament of Sherlock Holmes)makes a similar claim in its announcement ofGreedFall, a fantasy RPG designed using a 17th century aesthetic coming to PS4, Xbox One, and PC. This darker-toned fantasy will have the typical RPG fanfare of magic and a large explorable world filled with secrets as well as characters to interact with....

Koei Tecmorevealeda date for the third piece of DLC, titledUpheaval in Jingxiang, which touches down on Jun 27, 2025. If you’re looking for new challenges, there should be plenty to go around in Jingxiang.

and in Pog form In one of the more absurd announcements this year, Albino Moose, the company behindSpooky’s Jump Scare Mansion: HD Renovation,announced they’re working on a brand newNightmare Creatures,set both before and after the events of the 1997 original (with the intentionally wonky visuals to match). Apparently, according to their panel at PAX West, theNightmare CreaturesIP was just floating around after Activision dropped it long ago. Nightmare Creatureswas a game I once rented on a whim because of its dope (for the ’90s anyway) cover....

Bless you, Oroboro If there’s one thing I could use more of inNioh, it’s gold. Gold is where it’s at. It’s true that you can play normally and boost your gold-grabbing efforts with stat-boosting equipment, your choice in guardian, or the achievement-esque title system. That all helps for gold dropped by enemies. But there’s a better, faster way to amass funds for your costly blacksmith purchases: “A Request from Ginchiyo.” It’s a sub-mission accessible early on, in the game’s first map region....

Sharp-dressed man There will come a time when we’re totally inundated with character skins inMarvel’s Avengers, but right now– more than half a year away from the game’s launch– I’m willing to see what’s what. Crystal Dynamics and Marvel showed another alternate outfit today, this time for Hulk. He cleans up well! As all the comic-knowers in the audience will tell you, this look draws from Bruce Banner’s “alter-alter ego,”Joe Fixit....

One of 2025’s early contenders for game of the year has been recognized by Guinness World Records by setting three world records within three weeks of its release. Split Fiction, the fantastic new title by Josef Fares’s Hazelight Studios under EA, is widely regarded as a wonderful co-op experience for gamers of all levels, and it seems as though most gamers would agree, judging by the content of the records it set....

Internal database allegedly leaked PlayStation social media accounts across the globe were compromised today in concurrence with an alleged database leak. The guilty party asks (with questionable grammar) for a PlayStation representative to contact them. These messages point to the security hacker groupOurMinebeing responsible. If this is legitimate, then this case joins HBO, TechCrunch, and BuzzFeed as high-profile targets of the group. This isn’t PlayStation’s first rodeo with possible customer data leaks, either....

No refunds Well, this is bad news. Project Phoenix, a game from a dream team of JRPG developers, was initially gunning for a 2015 date based on their initial Kickstarter predictions, but now they are aiming for2018. That’s quite the leap! The problem stems from a programmer who was previously developing other projects, and still hasn’t been able to join the project full-time. There is also a “no refund” sentiment going around too....
