To call Goddess of Victory: Nikke a smash hit would be putting it lightly. Since its November 2022 launch, the game has already surpassed 25 million global downloads on Android and iOS. To celebrate this milestone, publisher Level Infinite announced that the Nikke would be coming to PC — and that shortly after launch, it would also introduce some familiar faces from the immensely popular Chainsaw Man.
Set in a grim world where human fears become tangible entities known as devils, Chainsaw Man centers on the luckless Denji, a teenager saddled with a paternal debt to the Yakuza. Denji’s life takes a turn for the better when he crosses paths with the legendary chainsaw devil Pochita and becomes the titular human/devil hybrid Chainsaw Man. Denji will j…

Just over a year after Harry Potter: Magic Awakened launched internationally, publisher Warner Bros has announced that the game will be shut down in the Americas, Europe, and Oceania in October.
Harry Potter: Magic Awakened took a twisting path to get to PC. It launched in China and Taiwan in 2021 on mobile devices, and then went global in July 2023, including on Windows—although the servers for the PC version were limited to Southeast Asia.
That doesn’t really seem like a deal-breaker—I downloaded the official PC client earlier today to see what it was like, and the game ran fine—except that NetEase and Warner run their own separate account systems: You cannot link a WB-operated mobile account (which is what you’re using if you’re located outside of …

According to a recent biography of the world’s wealthiest person by Walter Isaacson, Musk showed up to CD Projekt’s office while wielding a 200-year-old gun to demand a cameo in Cyberpunk 2077. That doesn’t mean they actually put him in there, though.
When one Twitter user posted before-and-after screenshots with the lament, “Oh my god they removed the Elon Musk cameo from the Corpo opening in Cyberpunk 2077”, senior quest designer Patrick K. Mills couldn’t help but comment. “That wasn’t Elon musk, it…
Read moreAlthough we don’t know the launch date for the next major Minecraft update, today’s Java version update 1.19.4 actually includes a toggle to activate all of the big Minecraft 1.20 features that have been announced so far. So you don’t need to go juggling snapshot versions anymore if you want to take a test drive with the new sniffer, cherry blossom biome, and archeology features.
Over in the patch notes for version 1.19.4, Mojang says that the game experiments toggle now includes the “first look” at the sniffer, archaeology, armor trims and cherry grove biome. The “first look” designation likely means that these features aren’t 100% complete the way they will be at launch. In snapshot builds so far, for instance, sniffers could only be seen by spawning them in creati…
