So, I talked to the noble families hoping they’d fund my voyage, and they said they would – as long as I helped them out with something first! This explains everything I need to know about the ‘Crown For A Journey’ quest, and how to figure out that tricky puzzle in the Tomb Of Kings. It’s a bit of a task, but hopefully, it’ll get me sailing soon!
I absolutely loved the first Monster Hunter Stories and Stories 2 was a huge favorite of mine, so I was really excited for Stories 3: Twisted Reflection. Honestly? It blew me away. They didn’t just build on what was already great, they made smart improvements to the gameplay, took the series in some cool new directions, and even threw in some awesome nods to the past. It’s everything you want in a sequel!
I’m so excited for Season 9 of Monster Hunter Now! They’re adding the Insect Glaive, which is easily one of my favorite weapons from the main games. It lets you control a little bug called a Kinsect while you fight, and it’s amazing for jumping around and attacking from the air. Plus, we’re getting three new monsters: Seregios, Viper Tobi-Kadachi, and Almudron. And get this – on March 19th, we’ll finally be able to hunt Riftborne Zynogre! You’ll also be able to add new skills when you fight Seregios, Viper Tobi-Kadachi, and Almudron, which is awesome.
The beach now features new creatures, characters, and plants, including the Rainbone Flower. This flower has a strong link to the Skeletal Bloom, but be careful – it can be just as dangerous as it is beautiful.
It’s unusual for PC games to be immediately confirmed as working well on the Steam Deck. In fact, even major game releases often launch without official Steam Deck Verification. This makes the recent launches particularly interesting for Steam Deck owners, as they highlight the ongoing process of compatibility testing.
In Avowed, the “Ancient Arrowhead” is a treasure map found in the Galawain’s Tusks region. It’s unique because you can’t buy it – instead, you have to find and loot it from a skeleton within the Writing Ruins.
Each area in Avowed contains three treasure maps leading to special rewards. In the last region, Galawain’s Tusks, one map is called ‘The Blade That Hungers.’ You can buy this map from a merchant named Bulti, who can be found on the top floor of Solace Keep.
Sony has an exciting lineup of games planned for 2026, and September looks like a particularly competitive month. Both Marvel’s Wolverine, releasing on September 15th, 2026, and Phantom Blade Zero, launching on September 9th, 2026, are highly anticipated titles, and their close release dates could lead to significant competition within PlayStation itself.
The first issue of Universal Monsters: Phantom of the Opera is created by Tyler Boss and Martin Simmonds, who together deliver a stunning reimagining of the classic story. With a strong history of excellent horror comics, this new book feels like a truly impressive addition to the genre.
Nacon is a gaming company made up of 16 different development teams, including well-known studios like Kylotonn (known for WRC games), Cyanide (Tour de France), and Spiders (GreedFall).
