<p>Marvel Rivals Season 10 is coming out swinging. Not only is this season changing a lot about the game. From <a href="https://all.gg/news/marvel-rivals-season-10-changes-over-30-heroes/" target="_blank">the mountain of patch notes</a> affecting a ton of heroes to <a href="https://all.gg/news/marvel-rivals-season-10-changes-ranked-bans/" target="_blank">the ban changes</a>. But now, with the arrival of <a href="https://all.gg/news/gorr-the-god-butcher-joins-marvel-rivals-season-10/" target="_blank">Gorr, the God Butcher</a>, Loki, the God of Mischief, is dead.</p>



<h2>The God of Lies is Dead</h2>



<p>The new cinematic trailer for Marvel Rivals Season 10 is coming out swinging. Gorr, wielding All-Black, the Necrosword, has arrived in Yggsgard. Loki, surprisingly, was first in line for defense, and just before his brother Thor could arrive, Gorr has slain Loki.</p>

<p>This is not only a massive impact on the Marvel Rivals narrative, but it also seems to be affecting the game. Moving into Season 10, Loki is supposedly unable to be selected because of his in-universe death. </p>



<p>Furthermore, Gorr will be the only hero arriving in Season 10. The developers said this lets them focus on the upcoming Path to Doomsday content rather than releasing a second hero. But now it opens the door to seeing the God of Lies revival in the second half of the season.</p>



<p>But one thing is certain: this is the first playable character death in Marvel Rivals history.</p>

The God of Lies has fallen. Gorr kills Loki in the Season 10 cinematic, creating Marvel Rivals’ first playable character death.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">An official companion webtoon titled &#8220;<a href="https://www.webtoons.com/en/action/onimusha-way-of-the-sword/list?title_no=11241" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Onimusha: Way of the Sword &#8211; Fated Rivalry</a>&#8221; is now available for free on Webtoon, and it serves as a direct prequel to the game.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="480" height="540" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/onimush-webtoon-cover.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18013" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/onimush-webtoon-cover.webp 480w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/onimush-webtoon-cover-267x300.webp 267w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first chapter is already available, and new chapters will be released every Saturday.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Prequel Following Ganryu</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The webtoon takes place shortly before the events of Way of the Sword and follows Sasaki Ganryu, the legendary swordsman and rival of Miyamoto Musashi. After being defeated by Musashi in a duel, Ganryu becomes obsessed with becoming strong enough to defeat him. This leads him to a mysterious artifact known as the Oni Gauntlet, that can grant him the power he needs to face Musashi once again.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When you live by the way of the sword, there&#8217;s only room for one at the top. Sasaki Ganryu has one goal: to become the strongest swordsman in the world. When a duel with the wandering samurai Miyamoto Musashi ends in humiliating defeat, Ganryu is consumed by rage. What follows is a bloody quest to reclaim his honor that leads him down a path of madness and obsession. On his journey, he receives a mysterious artifact known as &#8220;The Oni Gauntlet&#8221;, that gives him a power no mortal blade could ever match. Hunting down ever-stronger foes has set him on a collision course to face off again against the only man who has ever bested him in battle. A prologue to the latest game in Capcom&#8217;s iconic samurai action series: Onimusha: Way of the Sword.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So if you have already started Way of the Sword, this should provide some extra context for one of the game&#8217;s most important characters. The webtoon is being produced by Laurel Pursuit, with Webtoon creators jjolee, hilluhri, and BAEKSSE working on the series.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And perhaps best of all, it is free to read with a Webtoon account! So all you need to do is head to Webtoon, create an account, and then you can <a href="https://www.webtoons.com/en/action/onimusha-way-of-the-sword/list" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">read Onimusha: Way of the Sword – Fated Rivalry</a>. We do not know yet how long the full prequel will be, but with chapters arriving every Saturday, there is now another weekly excuse to spend some time in Onimusha, and that should make everyone happy.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Well, that is certainly one way to wake up to some gaming news.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">PlayStation has officially stepped away from its collaboration with Kojima Productions on Physint, Hideo Kojima&#8217;s upcoming action-espionage game. And this is not even the entire story, because Kojima has confirmed that Xbox is now partnering with the studio to continue the project.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The change was announced today by both companies. Kojima revealed that the switch happened after PlayStation unexpectedly told Kojima Productions in June that they would cancel the project. So it is not really new, but we are guessing they needed a few months to find a new partner for the game. And Xbox did step in at the right time, it seems!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PlayStation Is No Longer Involved With Physint</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, what happened exactly here? Physint was supposed to be the successor to Metal Gear Solid, and it is from Kojima, so it is a pretty good game to bet on and to keep, from a business-only point of view. Yet PlayStation Studios announced early this morning that they had made the &#8220;difficult decision&#8221; to step away from their collaboration with Kojima Productions on Physint.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">An update from PlayStation Studios: After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to step away from collaborating with KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS on its project PHYSINT. We continue to have great admiration for Hideo Kojima&#39;s vision for the game.<br><br>Our relationship…</p>&mdash; PlayStation (@PlayStation) <a href="https://x.com/PlayStation/status/2097875212427735146?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 10, 2026</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The company did not provide a reason for the decision, but from the looks of it, the relationship with Kojima and the studio remains strong. PlayStation said they continue to have &#8220;great admiration&#8221; for Hideo Kojima&#8217;s vision and pointed toward the three decades of creative cooperation with the legendary developer.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That is certainly a very diplomatic way of putting it. But when you look at Kojima&#8217;s statement, it sounds a little bit different.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A second statement came shortly after the PlayStation one, where Kojima revealed that Kojima Productions received a notice from PlayStation in mid-June that the Physint project would be cancelled. He was not willing to let the project die, spending the following three months searching for a new partner. And eventually, they found one.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">As confirmed earlier through our official channels, in mid-June of this year, we unexpectedly received notice from PlayStation Studios that they would cancel the PHYSINT project. PHYSINT is an important project both to me personally and to KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS. Determined to keep… <a href="https://t.co/rQqhxAnb7N">pic.twitter.com/rQqhxAnb7N</a></p>&mdash; HIDEO_KOJIMA (@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN) <a href="https://x.com/HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN/status/2097877506401681753?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 10, 2026</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Xbox Is Taking Over the Partnership</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So yes, Xbox is taking over. Kojima confirmed that they teamed up with Xbox, saying the two companies share a common vision for the future. The partnership expands on the relationship between Xbox and Kojima Productions that already exists through OD, the studio&#8217;s mysterious horror project being developed with Xbox. Xbox itself confirmed that they will partner with Kojima Productions to publish Physint, with Xbox CEO Asha Sharma saying the company is honored that Kojima chose Xbox for the project.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So despite PlayStation&#8217;s involvement ending, Physint itself is very much alive, and development is continuing, but it will just continue on the Xbox side, and not PlayStation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Physint was originally revealed as a new action-espionage project from Kojima Productions, with Kojima describing it as a return to the genre he helped define during his time working on Metal Gear. We still know surprisingly little about the game, and there is also no release date or launch window at this point, so do not expect to be playing it anytime soon. OD is supposed to come first, so we probably have to wait a few years before we see anything from Physint. And seeing Xbox step in after PlayStation walked away from it is one of the more unexpected changes we have seen in a while. It does raise the question about what PlayStation is really planning, given the number of suspicious decisions they have made lately.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For now, the important part is that Physint is not cancelled. It is just no longer a PlayStation project, and Kojima has found a new partner because Xbox is officially on board, and development is continuing. Considering this is Hideo Kojima we are talking about, I am sure the story behind how all of this happened is going to be almost as interesting as the game itself.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With the release of Valheim 1.0, the Steam charts are already beginning to skyrocket. Players have been looking forward to the <a href="https://all.gg/news/valheim-1-0-is-here-with-the-deep-north-update/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/valheim-1-0-is-here-with-the-deep-north-update/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Deep North update</a> for nearly 5 years. But with the wait finally over, thousands of Vikings are rushing back to their old homes or jumping into <a href="https://all.gg/news/10-valheim-tips-every-viking-needs-to-know/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/10-valheim-tips-every-viking-needs-to-know/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a fresh playthrough.</a></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Cold is Calling</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After 5 years of being in early access, Valheim 1.0 is finally here. From the beginning, players have had a <a href="https://all.gg/news/will-valheim-get-more-updates-after-1-0/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/will-valheim-get-more-updates-after-1-0/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">rough idea of where the developers wanted to take the game</a>. Especially since Mistlands, we&#8217;ve known our adventure would eventually lead us south to the Ashlands, and now to the frozen Deep North.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Day one is already showcasing some impressive numbers on Steam alone, with 168,093 players logging in on day one.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="596" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Valheim-1.0-Steam-Numbers-Day-1-1024x596.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18004" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Valheim-1.0-Steam-Numbers-Day-1-1024x596.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Valheim-1.0-Steam-Numbers-Day-1-300x175.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Valheim-1.0-Steam-Numbers-Day-1-768x447.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Valheim-1.0-Steam-Numbers-Day-1.webp 1033w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Naturally, this reflects only Steam&#8217;s numbers, and it&#8217;s important to remember that thousands of other Vikings are playing on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2. Plus, this is only day one, and it&#8217;s the middle of the week. Who knows what numbers we will see when the weekend rolls around.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>


With the release of Valheim 1.0, the Steam charts are already beginning to skyrocket. Players have been looking forward to the Deep North update for

Valheim 1.0 Draws 168K Players on Launch Day


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Valheim 1.0 is finally here. <a href="https://all.gg/news/will-valheim-get-more-updates-after-1-0/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/will-valheim-get-more-updates-after-1-0/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">After 5 years in development</a> and several biomes later, we&#8217;ve <a href="https://all.gg/news/valheim-1-0-is-here-with-the-deep-north-update/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/valheim-1-0-is-here-with-the-deep-north-update/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">finally left early access</a>. If you are jumping into the wonderful yet harsh lands of Valheim for the first time, or it&#8217;s been a while since you set sail, here are some tips to help you survive.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Beware the Trees</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let&#8217;s be honest. Everyone talks about the dangers of woodcutting in Valheim. But with any list, it&#8217;s worth talking about. If you&#8217;ve played before, you know that felling a tree will cause it to slam down and damage anything in its path. This means you, any enemies, or idle trees.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You are going to need a lot of wood. More wood than you ever think you will need. So to make the most of your axe durability, chop trees so they fall against other nearby trees, damaging them and possibly chopping them down for you. But be warned, this game of dominoes doesn&#8217;t always work, and some logs will get stuck. So be careful not to make a death trap.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Kill it With Fire</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fire is an interesting damage type in Valheim. Every time someone takes a tick of fire damage, they take some damage over time for around five seconds. But what&#8217;s interesting about fire damage is how it stacks. Taking multiple hits from a fire source, like a torch or a campfire, will not only refresh the DOT, but will stack its damage up.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So if you can bait an enemy to walk over a campfire and stay there for several seconds, their HP bar will quickly melt. Just make sure to repair the fire with a hammer while they stand on it. Alternatively, hitting an enemy with a torch or fire arrows also works, but it&#8217;s harder to restack the DOT that fast.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Never Leave Home Without It</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Valheim-1.0-Crafting-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-17998" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Valheim-1.0-Crafting-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Valheim-1.0-Crafting-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Valheim-1.0-Crafting-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Valheim-1.0-Crafting-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Valheim-1.0-Crafting.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Never forget your hammer. Not only can you use it to build, but you can destroy any natural structures. In the early game, you&#8217;ll often find abandoned structures made of wood or other materials. If you bring your hammer and enough wood to make a crafting bench, you can either repurpose the structure by repairing it or demolish it for resources with your hammer.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s also good to keep your hammer with you at all times, just in case you need to build something far from home, like a campfire.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Comfort &amp; Resting</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One important part of Valheim is its comfort system. In short, if you rest somewhere near a heat source with furniture that raises your comfort level, you gain the rested buff. The higher your comfort level, the longer the rested bonus will last.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But what if you lose your rested buff out in the wilderness? A few landmarks or methods let you regain a decent rested buff while you are away from home. Structures like Troll or Frost caves have a giant overhang that counts as a roof. If you build a campfire in the entrance, you can get a quick rested buff while out and about.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Alternatively, you can do this by going inside a cave or dungeon, since the entire indoor area has a roof. This is especially good for Crypts in the Swamp.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cart Smarter, Not Harder</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Once you&#8217;ve progressed far enough, you will unlock the cart. Allowing you to haul a ton of items and resources across longer distances with ease. But as you fill the cart up, it gets heavier and harder to push. One trick you can do if you have a friend in your world is to have them get on top of the cart and put all the contents in their inventory. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This will reduce the cart&#8217;s weight, and you can pull it instead, which is much faster. Just don&#8217;t go too fast, or they can fly out mid-trip, and you&#8217;ll have to put them back in.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Home Defense</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Valheim-1.0-Troll-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-17999" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Valheim-1.0-Troll-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Valheim-1.0-Troll-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Valheim-1.0-Troll-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Valheim-1.0-Troll-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Valheim-1.0-Troll.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the scariest moments for every Valheim player is when their base is targeted for a raid. Raids occur when a player is near a fire source and a bunch of player-made structures for an extended amount of time. If you are playing on normal, the server will try to send a raid every 45 minutes, with roughly a 20% chance of it triggering if a player meets the criteria.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So 4 players all afk at base is a 20% chance of a raid happening, but rolled 4 times. To better defend your home, make sure you have walls, either wooden or stone, or raise the ground up with your gardening hoe. Raising the ground will look ugly, but most mobs won&#8217;t be able to get inside.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Alternatively, you can build a moat, but you still need 1 strip of land that&#8217;s walkable; otherwise, the mobs will ignore the moat entirely. All of this is especially important if a Troll raid triggers, which is hands down the scariest raid since they deal so much structure damage.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ready for Raiding</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/Valheim-Swamp-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-6564" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/Valheim-Swamp-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/Valheim-Swamp-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/Valheim-Swamp-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/Valheim-Swamp-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/Valheim-Swamp.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Speaking of raids, the number of active raids is triggered by your world state. We won&#8217;t give every one away, but to put it simply, if you have yet to defeat a boss, that boss will send its minions to your home. Once you defeat them, those raids will stop, but custom raids will begin. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sometimes raids require certain triggers. For example, Troll raids only turn on after a single troll has died in your world. It doesn&#8217;t matter if you killed them or something else did. Furthermore, if you complete any Mini Boss questline, turning in the chest they are guarding to Hildir will open up those Mini Bosses to return as future raids. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Food Management</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Food is also an important part of Valheim. The type and strength of what food you eat determines how much health or stamina you get. But if you are doing around-the-house work, it&#8217;s good to keep cheap food around, rather than eating your best items all the time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s easy to keep a backstock of pork or deer meat for chore work or to have around the base.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Enemy Weaknesses </h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Almost all enemy types also have a weakness. Certain enemies will be resistant to one damage type but vulnerable to another. A few examples are that Trolls are weak to piercing damage, so something like a spear will work wonders, or skeletons are weak to blunt damage, so bring a mace.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Never Stop Farming</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Valheim-1.0-Meadows-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-17995" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Valheim-1.0-Meadows-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Valheim-1.0-Meadows-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Valheim-1.0-Meadows-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Valheim-1.0-Meadows-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Valheim-1.0-Meadows.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lastly, our biggest tip is to never stop farming. Rarely does any item stop being useful in Valheim. For example, boar meat might not be worth it for a while once you move onto other biomes and zones, but later recipies might call for it as a ingrediant.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rarely does an item, or ingredient, stop being worth anything. There are only a handful of items we can think of, such as Yellow Mushrooms, which barely have any future relevance, but that doesn&#8217;t mean you should throw them away. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Be prepared to make an entire storage room in your base just to stockpile whatever you need for a rainy day. Especially wood. You will always need wood. </p>

Valheim 1.0 is finally here, and these essential survival tips will help new and returning Vikings survive, build, farm, fight, and thrive.


10 Valheim Tips Every Viking Needs to Know


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With the official release of <a href="https://all.gg/news/valheim-1-0-is-here-with-the-deep-north-update/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/valheim-1-0-is-here-with-the-deep-north-update/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Valheim 1.0</a>, the developers at Iron Gate also dropped an FAQ. This post has plenty of answers for older saves, world states, and crossplay, but one question stands miles above the rest. Valheim&#8217;s future.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Future of Valheim </h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This question has been on everyone&#8217;s mind for years. For half a decade of development, every early-access update was free. No microtransactions, no DLC, no other purchases. Paired with the lack of confirmation of what was in store after Valheim got to the Deep North biome.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But this <a href="https://valheim.com/support/valheim-1-0-faq/" data-type="link" data-id="https://valheim.com/support/valheim-1-0-faq/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">FAQ asked</a>: Will the game continue to get updates after 1.0?</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;We will continue to improve the game with bugfixes and quality of life stuff, though for exactly how long the game will continue to receive updates is currently too soon to say. Likewise, it is too soon to say whether or not there will be more content added to the game in the future – but as always, we will be sure to announce any news on our channels!&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s an answer. But not the one that many fans were looking for. We and many others have said time and time again that thousands of players will very likely purchase DLC, or future paid content, if it means new developments or adventures for Valheim.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Right before 1.0, Iron Gate also posted<a href="https://all.gg/news/valheim-1-0-celebrates-years-of-viking-adventures/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/valheim-1-0-celebrates-years-of-viking-adventures/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> a video showcasing the development and emotional journey</a> this game has had for both its makers and the community. This is evidence enough that lots of folks don&#8217;t want this game to end.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Even if Deep North brings a narrative and planned ending to the series, Fans still hope there will be more content to come, or at the very least another adventure in this universe. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/06/Valheim-building-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-13083" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/06/Valheim-building-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/06/Valheim-building-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/06/Valheim-building-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/06/Valheim-building-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/06/Valheim-building.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>


Valheim 1.0 may mark the end of its long early-access journey, but Iron Gate isn’t ruling out more content for the beloved survival game.


Will Valheim Get More Updates After 1.0?


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The big day has arrived. <a href="https://all.gg/news/valheim-1-0-celebrates-years-of-viking-adventures/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/valheim-1-0-celebrates-years-of-viking-adventures/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Valheim 1.0, the Deep North update</a>, is here, and there&#8217;s a bunch of new enemies, items, weapons, and more to discover not just in the cold north, but in the older lands as well.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1.0 Highlight Patch Notes</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Valheim-1.0-Moose-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-17992" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Valheim-1.0-Moose-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Valheim-1.0-Moose-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Valheim-1.0-Moose-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Valheim-1.0-Moose-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Valheim-1.0-Moose.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since this is a survival crafting game, it&#8217;s common for a lot of players in the community to remain spoiler-free for new content outside of official promotional material. To honor that spirit, we want to cover what&#8217;s arriving in Valheim 1.0 with as few spoilers as possible.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now with that out of the way, let&#8217;s get into the highlights:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li> New Biome: The Deep North</li>



<li><strong>40+ New weapons</strong></li>



<li>New bombs and ammunition</li>



<li>30+ New crafting materials</li>



<li><strong>20+ New food items</strong></li>



<li><strong>4 New armor sets</strong></li>



<li><strong>2 New trinkets</strong></li>



<li>2 New capes</li>



<li>10+ New creatures</li>



<li>80+ New buildable pieces</li>



<li>5 New crafting-related build pieces</li>



<li>New locations</li>



<li>New events</li>



<li>New mechanics</li>



<li>New events</li>



<li><strong>Upgradeable pockets</strong></li>



<li>Achievements</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So outside of all of the new weapons, items, and enemies found in the Deep North, there are a few special things we do want to highlight. This section will include some light spoilers, so if you want to go in as blind as possible, proceed with caution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">First, you might have noticed there are new Upgradeable pockets. One of the biggest complaints about Valheim is that the inventory limit was always a pain. Up to this point, there was no way to expand it outside of mods. But now Haldor will sell you inventory upgrades!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Some of the additional <strong>new creatures added in this update also aren&#8217;t exclusive to the Deep North</strong>. So keep an eye out for them when you&#8217;re wandering through the older biomes. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And now for a few other small highlights:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>New graphic setting for draw distance</strong></li>



<li>Menu overhaul for hammer and serving tray</li>



<li>All hair and beard styles now available from the start</li>



<li><strong>Rebalanced enemy spawn chance in Ashlands</strong></li>



<li>Overhauled descriptions</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you truly want to be spoiled on whatever the new content is for the Deep North, you can, of course, check out <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/892970/view/692020124159311902?l=english" data-type="link" data-id="https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/892970/view/692020124159311902?l=english" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the official patch</a> notes, but we highly recommend going in blind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Good luck out there, Vikings!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>


Valheim 1.0 is finally here with the massive Deep North update, adding a new biome alongside dozens of weapons, creatures, items, building pieces, and

Valheim 1.0 Is Here With the Deep North Update


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nintendo Switch 2 is getting even more Final Fantasy 7, as Square Enix confirmed during <a href="https://all.gg/news/nintendo-direct-september-2026-everything-announced/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">today&#8217;s Nintendo Direct</a> that Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is coming to the console! And if you do not want to wait until next year for more FF7, there is some good news there too, because Crisis Core Final Fantasy 7 Reunion is also available on Nintendo Switch 2 starting today.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yes, you read that right, you can get it today already, and Crisis Core is really one of the best games to play on a handheld console since it was first released on the PSP.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Is Coming to Switch 2</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, the third and final part of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake project, will be released on Nintendo Switch 2 at the same time as on the other platforms. This means no specific exclusivity and no delay for the Switch release this time either. You can enjoy the last part of the Remake at the same time as everyone else.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The game will launch on April 8, 2027, and follows directly the events of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. We have already seen quite a bit of Revelation over the past few months, including the huge open world, the return of the Highwind, new traversal options, and plenty of familiar faces.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/ff7-chocobo-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-17765" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/ff7-chocobo-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/ff7-chocobo-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/ff7-chocobo-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/ff7-chocobo.webp 1422w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For Switch 2, this means that the entire modern Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy is making its way onto Nintendo&#8217;s latest console. And that is a pretty big deal.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">24-Hour Early Access</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Square Enix is also offering 24-hour early access for Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, but this is not included with the Standard Edition. The early-access period is exclusive to the Premium and Premium Plus Editions. So if you are planning to pre-order the game digitally on Switch 2 specifically because you want to play it a day early, you will need one of those editions.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/ff7-premium-edition-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-17988" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/ff7-premium-edition-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/ff7-premium-edition-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/ff7-premium-edition-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/ff7-premium-edition.webp 1267w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Other platforms get the same early access, so this is also nothing exclusive to the Switch 2. There is also a slightly confusing bit of information for anyone who already pre-ordered the Standard Edition. Nintendo and Square Enix say that those who pre-ordered the Standard Edition digitally need to cancel that pre-order before payment is processed, and then pre-order either the Premium or Premium Plus Edition to receive the 24-hour Early Access bonus.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Premium editions also include additional in-game bonuses, and Premium Plus comes with extras such as a digital art book and mini soundtrack.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Crisis Core Reunion Is Available Today</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But you do not have to wait until April 2027 to get more Final Fantasy 7 on Switch 2. <strong>Crisis Core Reunion is available on Nintendo Switch 2 later today.</strong> The game is an HD remaster of the original Crisis Core and follows Zack Fair before the events of Final Fantasy 7. It features remastered visuals, fully voiced dialogue, a newly arranged soundtrack, and updated gameplay.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So if you have already played Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth on Switch 2 and you are looking for something else from the FF7 universe before Revelation, Crisis Core is now another option. And as I already mentioned earlier, it is a game that fits very well on handheld consoles, so pretty much perfect for your Switch 2. The gameplay for Crisis Core is quite different compared to the base game as well.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And there is still a long wait for Revelation, but at least Switch 2 players have another FF7 adventure to jump into right now!</p>

Nintendo is back with another Nintendo Direct, and this one is focused on games coming to Nintendo Switch 2 this winter!


Nintendo Direct September 2026: Everything Announced


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Blood of Dawnwalker is still very new and barely a week old, but a lot of people are starting to hit the end of the game and are already wondering where Rebel Wolves could take the story next. It turns out that there is a lot we already know about the future of the franchise. The studio has been really open about their plans for what they call the &#8220;Dawnwalker Saga&#8221;, and it is a lot more ambitious than simply making another game set in the same medieval world. <a href="https://x.com/SynthPotato/status/2097344514931229046?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rebel Wolves wants</a> to follow Coen across centuries, continents, cultures, and completely different eras.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And yes, your choices are planned to follow him along the way.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Coen Is Here to Stay</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-coen-hex-arm-scars-1024x576.webp" alt="The Blood of Dawnwalker Coen with his Hex scars" class="wp-image-17806" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-coen-hex-arm-scars-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-coen-hex-arm-scars-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-coen-hex-arm-scars-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-coen-hex-arm-scars.webp 1422w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The most important part of the plan is that Coen is not just the protagonist of The Blood of Dawnwalker. He is intended to remain in the entire saga. That works pretty conveniently when your protagonist is a Dawnwalker, since Coen&#8217;s vampiric nature means he can live through vastly different periods of history and remain the same character. That means future games can introduce completely new settings and stories and still follow the same character you have already spent time with.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rebel Wolves also said that future games will take place in different eras, locations, and cultures, with the saga eventually traveling through centuries and continents around the world.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And we have already seen just how far that idea could go. A teaser shown during Summer Game Fest featured Coen in a 21st-century setting, so you kind of know where the story is heading. Although I would not watch that teaser unless you finished the first game, because it is a bit spoilery about many things.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But well, overall it is a pretty wild jump from 14th-century Europe.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rebel Wolves also does not want this to turn into one giant cliffhanger-filled story where you have to play every game to understand what is happening. Each game will be a standalone game with its own story, with no unresolved plot threads or narrative cliffhangers carrying over from one game to another. There are also no plans to use time travel as an explanation for the different eras. The conflict between Coen and Brencis, for example, gets its own definitive conclusion in The Blood of Dawnwalker. At the same time, there will be a bigger story connecting the saga together. Rebel Wolves has already confirmed that you can find breadcrumbs related to the overall plot throughout the first game. So if you are the type of player who reads every note, investigates every strange detail, and starts connecting completely unrelated pieces of lore, there may already be things in The Blood of Dawnwalker that become more meaningful later on.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And knowing this now makes some of those little details a lot more interesting.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Your Choices Could Follow You for Years</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/dawnwalker-magic-1024x576.webp" alt="The Blood of Dawnwalker" class="wp-image-17093" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/dawnwalker-magic-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/dawnwalker-magic-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/dawnwalker-magic-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/dawnwalker-magic-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/dawnwalker-magic.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Perhaps the most interesting part of the entire plan is the idea that your save file will carry forward between games. Rebel Wolves has discussed the possibility of choices from The Blood of Dawnwalker being reflected in future games, meaning the decisions you make as Coen are not necessarily going to disappear when you finish the first game. That is a pretty big approach when you consider the scale of what the studio is planning.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Instead of simply making a new game with a new protagonist every few years, Rebel Wolves is building a story where the same character can experience entirely different periods of history, and the player&#8217;s previous decisions remain part of his journey.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It also means that some seemingly minor choices in The Blood of Dawnwalker could potentially become much more interesting when viewed from the perspective of a future game. This makes us wonder if we get a sort of choice at the start of the next game in case we changed console or PC in between and do not have our old save file anymore, or if the game will just pick randomly in that case.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Future Could Look Very Different</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-coen-age-1024x576.webp" alt="The Blood of Dawnwalker" class="wp-image-17709" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-coen-age-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-coen-age-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-coen-age-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-coen-age-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-coen-age.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The other exciting part is that Rebel Wolves is not planning to simply make The Blood of Dawnwalker 2 and give us another medieval European setting. The developers have said that future games will introduce new characters, new stories, new locations, cultures, and historical eras, and Coen just remains the constant throughout the saga.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That opens up a ridiculous number of possibilities. We have already been shown that the story can eventually reach the modern day, but there are potentially centuries of history between the events of the first game and that point. And if Rebel Wolves really commits to the idea, we could eventually see Coen&#8217;s journey move through completely different parts of the world, with each game offering its own setting and slowly building toward the bigger conflict.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">There Is a Lot of Potential</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Obviously, all of this depends on The Blood of Dawnwalker being successful enough for Rebel Wolves to keep building the franchise. But given how good it started, chances are we will at least get a few more. They did not announce exactly how many games the Dawnwalker Saga will contain, but the usual bet is some sort of trilogy, maybe. But this is just a personal guess, so do not take my word for it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The foundation they have laid out is genuinely pretty exciting. The Blood of Dawnwalker already has a solid base. If future games can take that idea even further, Rebel Wolves could have something pretty special on their hands.  The Blood of Dawnwalker works perfectly for the first chapter. So maybe we will eventually get something like The Rise of Dawnwalker, The Fall of Dawnwalker, or something completely different.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For now, though, we will have to wait and see where Coen&#8217;s very, very long life takes him next.</p>

The Blood of Dawnwalker is only the first chapter of a much larger saga, with Rebel Wolves planning different eras, characters, and more.


The Blood of Dawnwalker Is Only the Beginning of a Saga


<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://all.gg/games/the-blood-of-dawnwalker/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Blood of Dawnwalker</a> has received another hotfix that was released on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, so make sure you update your game before playing today. This update focuses mostly on stability and progression issues, including some bugs that could prevent you from completing quests or even saving your game. So it is quite an important one this time!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are a few fixes included, so if you have run into something weird during your playthrough, there is a chance 1.0.4 has taken care of it!</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Hotfix 1.0.4 is being rolled out on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S!<br>Here is the list of changes:<a href="https://t.co/97mhb4ucBG">https://t.co/97mhb4ucBG</a><a href="https://x.com/hashtag/Dawnwalker?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Dawnwalker</a> <a href="https://t.co/9aiXRhfmE7">pic.twitter.com/9aiXRhfmE7</a></p>&mdash; Dawnwalker (@DawnwalkerGame) <a href="https://x.com/DawnwalkerGame/status/2097613043706294746?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 9, 2026</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Quest Progression Issues Fixed</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The most important part of this update is probably the number of quests that have received fixes in this update. No more getting stuck in a cave during the &#8220;Deep Down&#8221; quest, and &#8220;On the Run&#8221; should no longer cause an infinite loading screen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The update also fixes the following quest-related problems that you might have encountered:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Ocha will no longer attack Coen when attacked by guards.</li>



<li>Fixed an issue that caused Coen to get stuck in a cave in the &#8220;Deep Down&#8221; quest.</li>



<li>Fixed an issue that caused Murohn to not spawn under certain circumstances.</li>



<li>Fixed an issue that caused one of the possible solutions for the &#8220;Hive and Seek&#8221; quest to end prematurely.</li>



<li>Progressing the &#8220;On the Run&#8221; quest no longer causes infinite loading.</li>



<li>&#8220;A Lone Wolf&#8217;s Hunt&#8221; now appropriately shows the difficulty level.</li>



<li>Fixed an issue that caused a soft-lock after following Sara.</li>



<li>Investigating the rag is now optional in the &#8220;Smoke and Ashes&#8221; quest.</li>



<li>Fixed an issue that caused a blocker in &#8220;The Heart Wants What It Wants&#8221; quest.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Saving Should No Longer Be Blocked</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This one is also a really important fix in the update, since there was apparently a bug that could prevent you from saving your game. I did not personally encounter that one, but in case you did, you can now be at peace since it should not happen anymore. Rebel Wolves also made adjustments to controller dead zones and input issues that could happen when you are sprinting. On Steam, connecting a controller using outdated GameInput software should no longer cause FPS drops either.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And, thankfully, torches can no longer grow uncontrollably. Yes, that was apparently a thing. Meanwhile, I did not even realise we could carry the torches and use them&#8230;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">More Stability and Visual Fixes</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hotfix 1.0.4 also includes multiple general stability improvements, along with a few smaller fixes. Coen and Iorgu should now drink from their cups even when using low graphical settings, and an incorrectly used red pipe asset has been removed. Music should also no longer randomly stop playing during the prologue. On PC, an issue with VSync when using FSR Frame Generation has been fixed, and Quality preset mods should now apply properly.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Overall, this is another pretty useful patch for The Blood of Dawnwalker, especially for anyone who has been dealing with quest progression or saving problems during their playthrough.</p>

The Blood of Dawnwalker Update Fixes Quest Blockers and More


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Marvel Rivals Season 10 is coming out swinging. Not only is this season changing a lot about the game. From <a href="https://all.gg/news/marvel-rivals-season-10-changes-over-30-heroes/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/marvel-rivals-season-10-changes-over-30-heroes/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the mountain of patch notes</a> affecting a ton of heroes to <a href="https://all.gg/news/marvel-rivals-season-10-changes-ranked-bans/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/marvel-rivals-season-10-changes-ranked-bans/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the ban changes</a>. But now, with the arrival of <a href="https://all.gg/news/gorr-the-god-butcher-joins-marvel-rivals-season-10/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/gorr-the-god-butcher-joins-marvel-rivals-season-10/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gorr, the God Butcher</a>, Loki, the God of Mischief, is dead.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The God of Lies is Dead</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The new cinematic trailer for Marvel Rivals Season 10 is coming out swinging. Gorr, wielding All-Black, the Necrosword, has arrived in Yggsgard. Loki, surprisingly, was first in line for defense, and just before his brother Thor could arrive, Gorr has slain Loki.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is not only a massive impact on the Marvel Rivals narrative, but it also seems to be affecting the game. Moving into Season 10, Loki is supposedly unable to be selected because of his in-universe death. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Furthermore, Gorr will be the only hero arriving in Season 10. The developers said this lets them focus on the upcoming Path to Doomsday content rather than releasing a second hero. But now it opens the door to seeing the God of Lies revival in the second half of the season.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But one thing is certain: this is the first playable character death in Marvel Rivals history.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Volume 21 of the Marvel Rivals Dev Vision dropped a ton of brand-new upcoming changes for Season 10. Amongst the new announcements, such as <a href="https://all.gg/news/gorr-the-god-butcher-joins-marvel-rivals-season-10/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/gorr-the-god-butcher-joins-marvel-rivals-season-10/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gorr</a> and <a href="https://all.gg/news/marvel-rivals-season-10-changes-over-30-heroes/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/marvel-rivals-season-10-changes-over-30-heroes/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">all the new balance changes</a>, one thing is really standing out for ranked players. Moving into Season 10 of Marvel Rivals, bans will no longer happen at the same time for both teams, thus eliminating double bans,</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">No More Double Ranked Bans</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The banning phase for Marvel Rivals has always drawn criticism as each new season rolls out. With the constant expansion of the hero pool, the options for who to ban become more and more difficult every season.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, with Season 10, bans will no longer happen at the same time for both teams. From now on, one team will vote first, then pass to the opposing team. This process repeats until all bans are locked in, which opens up the picking phase.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This small change does ultimately make the banning phase longer. On the other hand, it ensures more heroes receive bans during matches.</p>

Ranked matches are getting a major change in Marvel Rivals Season 10 as teams will no longer ban heroes simultaneously.


Marvel Rivals Season 10 Changes Ranked Bans


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Marvel Rivals Season 10 is just around the corner, and this season is packing a huge amount of changes. Unlike the balance updates players have gotten for a couple of seasons now (not counting the new Team-Ups), Season 10 is shaking up over 30 heroes on the roster.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Season 10 Patch Notes</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Vanguard</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Firstly, let&#8217;s start with tanks. Again, there are a mountain of changes being made to each role, but some of the more noticeable adjustments are nerfs to Magneto, The Hood, and others. Meanwhile, other popular tanks such as Emma Frost, Captain America, and Doctor Strange are getting some buffs.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Duelist</h3>

Also, <strong>Scarlet Witch is getting a new passive and active ability.</strong></p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Strategist</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lastly, supports are still getting a ton of changes, but mostly minor nerfs across the board, targeting Invisible Woman, Mantis, and Cloak &amp; Dagger. Meanwhile, Luna is somehow continuing to get buffs, and Ultron is getting some very mixed changes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Plus</strong>, <strong>Strategists are getting another nerf to their ultimate energy conversion rate for both the healing and damage ratios by 5%.</strong></p>

Marvel Rivals Season 10 is shaking up more than 30 heroes with major buffs, nerfs, new abilities, and sweeping balance changes.


Marvel Rivals Season 10 Changes Over 30 Heroes


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Marvel Rivals is back with a first look at Season 10: Butcher&#8217;s Blasphemy, and the God Butcher himself is joining the roster. Gorr, the God Butcher, is bringing the power of All-Black, the Necrosword, to the battlefield as his dark crusade takes him from the would-be gods of Thebes to Yggsgard.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gorr Carves into Marvel Rivals</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The God Butcher is the newest Duelist joining the <a href="https://all.gg/games/marvel-rivals/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/games/marvel-rivals/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Marvel Rivals</a> roster. He is a brutal close-quarters fighter who can summon shadow projections, command them to attack nearby heroes, and even teleport directly to them. Based on his gameplay trailer, Gorr also appears to have an incredibly strong blink ability that could rival, or potentially even surpass, Hela&#8217;s.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Gorr: The God Butcher | Character Reveal Trailer | Marvel Rivals" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_5jn4G_6rgg?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">His Necrosword can also transform into a scythe, giving Gorr four empowered swings that appear to deal additional damage while potentially boasting a larger hitbox.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Interestingly, Gorr&#8217;s ultimate is far less flashy than the rest of his kit. Rather than unleashing a massive attack, it temporarily puts him into an empowered state, allowing him to ramp up his damage and tear through enemies at close range. This could make him particularly dangerous against tightly grouped teams.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Perhaps the biggest surprise, however, is that Gorr will be the <strong>only new hero coming with Marvel Rivals Season 10</strong>. Unlike previous seasons that introduced two new heroes, the developers are shifting more of their focus toward the upcoming Path to Doomsday events instead of adding a second character to the roster.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ananta&#8217;s Go Viral system might be a lot more important than it initially seemed. In case you did not know, the game has an entire system built around social media and gaining a sort of reputation through it. In a new developer interview, the team explained that the game&#8217;s fame and follower system is not simply there as a social media gimmick. Your reputation can even affect how you progress through the world.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">🚨 ANANTA’S “GO VIRAL” SYSTEM CAN ACTUALLY EXPAND YOUR WORLD<br><br>In a fresh developer interview, the team explained that ANANTA’s fame/follower system is much deeper than just a social media gimmick.<br><br>As your reputation grows, you can:<br>✅ Unlock access to more locations<br>✅ Meet more… <a href="https://t.co/GIaarndoAp">pic.twitter.com/GIaarndoAp</a></p>&mdash; FroGGy🐸 (@FroGGyNTE) <a href="https://x.com/FroGGyNTE/status/2097079208019148971?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 7, 2026</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Basically, as your fame grows, you will be able to unlock new locations, meet potential companions, expand your team, and progress through different character-specific lifestyles. So you should really go out of your way to build your &#8220;Instagram&#8221; or &#8220;TikTok&#8221; profile in-game. For those who do not like social media, it seems like you are not going to escape this one. At least not if you really want to unlock everything. For now, there is no information that indicates that you can unlock all of these by any means other than building your fame up.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And what is particularly interesting is that not every character builds their reputation in the same way. For example, a truck driver can become more famous by completing deliveries, but a police officer can build their reputation by catching criminals. So even if combat and traditional character progression are obviously going to be important in Ananta, they are not the only way to move forward. What you do with your life in the city can open up more of the game. That is a pretty cool idea, especially for an open-world game that is clearly trying to make its city feel like more than just a giant playground for combat.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It also means that different characters could potentially have very different paths to progression depending on their lifestyle and what they do in the world. This Go Viral system is one of the more interesting examples of that so far, and it will be interesting to test all that once the game is live in January 2027!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rockstar is making some interesting changes to how the mini-map works in GTA 6, and it looks like the studio wants players to spend less time staring at the HUD and more time exploring and doing things. The information comes from the Twitter/X account GTAVI_Countdown, who also linked some images of the mini-map that you can check out:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Does the Mini-Map Work</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So basically, the mini-map will work as a GPS with the in-game iFruit branding, and will dynamically change depending on the time of day and surrounding environment. It will also display 3D buildings and their entrances, and that should make navigating the city a little easier.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For those who thought during the Netflix preview that the map would always be there in your corner, hand-holding you, you will be happy to know that the mini-map will not always be visible by default. It will appear when you are driving or when you have set a waypoint, but you can switch to a classic mode if you want it permanently displayed. You can also move it to either side of the screen, replace it with a compass, or simply turn it off completely. So if you want zero hand-holding at all, the option is there.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When you are on foot, you can quickly tap the D-pad to bring the mini-map up temporarily as well, and it will also show other HUD information such as your cash and PSI bars.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rockstar is also changing how enemies and police appear on the map. Instead of filling the mini-map with enemy and police icons, GTA 6 will simply flash the map in red or blue and show the current search or heat area. If you need to know where an enemy or police officer is, their position can instead be highlighted on-screen using the focus ability.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Allies will still appear on the map, using cyan or pink icons, and NPCs you are competing against during races will be marked in white.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Setting waypoints is also getting easier. You will not always need to open the full map. You can just press the D-pad, choose a location, and then press R3 to set a waypoint. Story objectives will use pink waypoints, and custom ones will appear in a bright cyan color.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to Approach Exploration</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="564" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gateaway-car-gta-6-1024x564.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-17592" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gateaway-car-gta-6-1024x564.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gateaway-car-gta-6-300x165.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gateaway-car-gta-6-768x423.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gateaway-car-gta-6.webp 1333w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">GTA 6 will not necessarily tell you where everything is. The game is designed to reward players for exploring, meaning you do not always have to follow an objective, blip, or map icon to discover something new. That is probably a good thing because it means that if you go out of your way, you might find some pretty cool secret locations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After years of open-world games putting giant icons all over the screen, letting players discover things for themselves could make GTA 6 a bit more unique, in a way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At least, that is the idea.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We will find out how well it works when GTA 6 releases in a couple of months! Yes, we are this close to it now, you are not dreaming it!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As Nopixel V prepares to launch its closed beta, we&#8217;ve collected all the must-know information about this next generation of GTA V role-play servers. From large its environment changes, its expanded character creator, to even its approval by Rockstar themselves, here&#8217;s all you need to know about Nopixel V.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Is Nopixel V?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.nopixel.net/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.nopixel.net/">Nopixel V</a> is a custom Grand Theft Auto V role-play server built to elevate the experience of being someone living in Los Santos. With immersion and grounding at the center of many of these changes, Nopixel V is a major evolution of the existing Nopixel servers. The big announcement, however, is that Rockstar Games has thrown their <a href="https://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/17857581o753k1/introducing-nopixel-v" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/17857581o753k1/introducing-nopixel-v">official support</a> behind the project! This may come as a surprise, given that Grand Theft Auto VI is only a couple months away, but with most of the studio heads down on that project, it makes sense to back one of the largest community efforts in supporting their older title.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Speaking of community efforts, lets go over some of Nopixel V&#8217;s most important additions!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Large Map Changes</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Some of the more obvious additions to Nopixel V are the sweeping changes to Grand Theft Auto V&#8217;s environments!</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/NopixelVFly-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-17931" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/NopixelVFly-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/NopixelVFly-300x169.jpg 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/NopixelVFly-768x432.jpg 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/NopixelVFly-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/NopixelVFly-2048x1152.jpg 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From a more detailed downtown to new apartments and housing, Nopixel V set out &#8220;to overhaul and refresh the existing world by enriching it with new locations. We updated many aspects of the GTA V map and reworked existing assets and textures, all tailored to create an immersive, next-level roleplay experience&#8221;, the Nopixel team explained in a <a href="https://www.nopixel.net/?post=development-update-1-gtav-map" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.nopixel.net/?post=development-update-1-gtav-map">development blog-post</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But a detailed world is nothing without characters to live in it.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Deeper Characters</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When its comes to role-play the formula is simple. The more unique, expressive, or realistic a player character gets, the more interesting and enjoyable they are to watch. Nopixel V has taken this challenge by the horns and rebuilt their character creator from the ground up!</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/NopixelVCreator-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-17932" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/NopixelVCreator-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/NopixelVCreator-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/NopixelVCreator-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/NopixelVCreator-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/NopixelVCreator.webp 1999w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This new character creator comes with faces and bodies built on 3D scan data, with a greater range of ethnicities and face-shapes. Skin details like freckles or blemishes have been upscaled, and larger body types have proper support at last! Additionally, clothing and hairstyles have been greatly expanded, with a dedicated compatibility system in place to make sure that all pieces of apparel work with every hair, body, arm, and leg type.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">An Immersive World</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In another <a href="https://www.nopixel.net/?post=development-update-4-immersive-world" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.nopixel.net/?post=development-update-4-immersive-world">post</a> Nopixel V explains how it &#8220;delivers a comprehensive visual overhaul, combining enhanced shaders and lighting, new day/night time cycles, refreshed foliage, rebuilt roads, and parallax interiors to create a city that feels more dynamic, atmospheric, and immersive at every hour of the day.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These are definitely bold claims, but if these screenshots or their trailer are anything to go by they will have given life to a game originally designed for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On top of all this graphical work, Nopixel V also mentions how it includes reworked NPC interactions, in-world decay and illness, as well as several combat changes such as crouching, leaning, and climbing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With all of this together, Nopixel V looks like its shaping up to be one of the most comprehensive overhauls to Grand Theft Auto V. This huge, living, role-play server launches into closed beta on September 8th.</p>


With its closed beta launch today, here’s everything you need to know about this Rockstar supported GTA V role-play server.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We are just a few days away from the release of Valheim 1.0, <a href="https://all.gg/news/valheim-deep-north-trailer-builds-hype-for-1-0/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/valheim-deep-north-trailer-builds-hype-for-1-0/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the Deep North update</a>. As everyone around the world is preparing for this monumental, or some would even say historical, event, the developers have released another video, commemorating not just their journey with the game, but also some community members&#8217; journeys.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Viking&#8217;s Journey</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Valheim has been in development for a long time. Since February of 2021, the game caught on like wildfire, with millions of copies selling out in a month&#8217;s time. Not even the developers expected the game&#8217;s sheer popularity. Since then, that same team has been at work, slowly fleshing out and carving the remaining biomes and distinct lands in Valheim.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From the Mistlands to the Ashlands, and now finally the Deep North, it&#8217;s been a long journey. Throughout this time, the developers and community have both found common ground in realizing that this game means a lot to everyone. From meeting new people, forging friendships, and embarking on new playthroughs that brought new memories.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Valheim is special. It&#8217;s more than just a cozy and amazing survival crafting game. Something about its magical pull brings people together, and it has quickly cemented itself as a favorite title for many players.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now with the Deep North on the horizon, Valheim&#8217;s early access is coming to an end. But as to what the future holds, hardly anyone knows. From the advertisements alone, many are gathering that this might be Valheim&#8217;s final content update, as the story nears its conclusion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yet millions of fans still want more content. More seas to sail, more lands to explore, and many are willing to drop money on paid DLC to keep that engine running, since every single update during early access has been free.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But for now, only time will tell what the future holds for what is potentially one of <a href="https://all.gg/news/steam-survival-crafting-fest-is-here/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/steam-survival-crafting-fest-is-here/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the greatest survival crafting games</a> of all time.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Behavior just dropped the monthly Dead by Daylight <a href="https://all.gg/news/dead-by-daylight-september-2026-roadmap-revealed/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/dead-by-daylight-september-2026-roadmap-revealed/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">roadmap for September 2026</a>. Within it, there&#8217;s a bunch of new collections, events, and updates coming, but what&#8217;s most surprising is that the fan favorite 2v8 is returning tomorrow and is sticking around for the rest of the month!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Aliens Join 2v8</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For the first time in Dead by Daylight <a href="https://all.gg/news/dead-by-daylights-2v8-mode-returns/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/dead-by-daylights-2v8-mode-returns/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">2v8 history</a>, with the exception of the unique chests from Nemesis and Mastermind adding vaccines in places where chests would&#8217;ve already spawned, a killer with a unique map gimmick is being introduced.<br>In case you are unaware, certain killers bring functional, interactable areas on the map that spawn around generators or in specific areas around the map. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Xenomorph, in particular, spawns tunnels that let it crawl beneath the map, hunt survivors, and traverse faster than on foot. 2v8 has never allowed a killer with a map gimmick like this to be playable before, and might potentially open the door to more killers being playable in the future.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Along with 2v8 returning, the Xenomorph is joining the playable roster alongside a brand-new Alien Collection. This brand-new Alien collection will build on the existing DLC. From the thumbnail alone, we already know the Xenomorph is getting a new skin, but at the time of writing, we have no idea if we are getting more Ripley skins or other costumes for Survivors.</p>

The Xenomorph is finally joining Dead by Daylight’s 2v8 mode as the fan-favorite game mode makes its return for the rest of September.


Dead by Daylight’s Xenomorph Is Joining 2v8


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dead by Daylight has finally revealed its September 2026 roadmap, giving players a look at what&#8217;s coming over the next few weeks. While the roadmap arrives a little later than usual, it’s full of new events, cosmetic collections, and the surprisingly quick return of the fan-favorite 2v8 mode.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">DbD September Roadmap</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This month is going to be full of events, brand new collections, and a surprisingly quick return of the fan favorite 2v8 mode! That&#8217;s right: despite <a href="https://all.gg/news/dead-by-daylights-2v8-mode-returns/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/dead-by-daylights-2v8-mode-returns/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">2v8 briefly appearing for a week a while back</a>, fans are getting another round! This time, 2v8 will stick around from tomorrow, September 8th, to the 29th. Plus, the Xenomorph is joining the playable killer roster for the game mode alongside a brand-new Alien Collection.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Starting September 22nd, a Charitable Partnership program will begin, similar to the <a href="https://all.gg/news/dead-by-daylight-players-raise-over-e28k-for-interpride/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/dead-by-daylight-players-raise-over-e28k-for-interpride/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Enter The Rainbow</a> initiatives earlier this year. We can expect donations to a charity, which will likely result in some codes going out to the community as stretch goals. Akin to the <a href="https://all.gg/news/dead-by-daylight-la-fogata-event-is-live-again/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/dead-by-daylight-la-fogata-event-is-live-again/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">La Fogata</a> event that occurred near Jason&#8217;s release, we will be getting a selection of in-game quests that are likely to provide players with banners, icons, and potentially bloodpoints or iridescent shards depending on what Behavior decides to do with this event. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">More Collections</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="614" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/DBD-Gameplay-Expo-1024x614.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-17888" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/DBD-Gameplay-Expo-1024x614.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/DBD-Gameplay-Expo-300x180.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/DBD-Gameplay-Expo-768x461.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/DBD-Gameplay-Expo.webp 1164w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Starting on September 15th, a new PTB will go live, allowing players to demo any new balance changes Behavior decides to roll out prior to the next major patch. We should expect further updates and patch logs from Behavior before the PTB rolls out regarding these changes. Many suggest this could include the Blight or <a href="https://all.gg/news/dead-by-daylight-ama-reveals-skull-merchant-rework-and-more/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/dead-by-daylight-ama-reveals-skull-merchant-rework-and-more/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Skull Merchant rework</a>/rebalancing the Devs teased before Jason&#8217;s release during the Anniversary event. At the same time as the PTB going live, the Gameplay Expo collection, which currently has 7 very rare skins within it, will be expanding with what appears to be a skin for The Unknown and potentially more. This skin collection is primarily themed around Arcade-oriented Gameplay Expos and some cheesy 80s gamer nostalgia. The current collection features skins for Nea, Yui, Feng, Jane, The Trickster, The Legion, and The Singularity. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Starting September 22nd, Behavior is expanding the Autumn Fashion collection, a self-explanatory cosmetic set. This set includes 1 Rare outfit for Legion and 6 Very Rare outfits for Lee, Orela, Feng, Mikaela, Kate, and the standout skin of the bunch, The Dredge. While the other skins in this set are very comfy and relaxed, The Dredge skin brings some mystery to what they could possibly expand upon with the next installment of this collection. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Community Outreach</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At the end of this event, starting on September 25th and lasting 2 days, Dead by Daylight will host The Campfire Tour again, this time at Dead Northern. Behavior previously showcased The Campfire Tour at Gamescom 2026, and it&#8217;s typically a booth set up for mingling with players and cosplayers. The Campfire Tour is primarily a linear area filled with props and visual effects produced by the Immersive team in Montreal, along with cosplayers manning stations. </p>


Dead by Daylight’s September roadmap is packed with events, new cosmetics, the return of 2v8, and plenty of surprises.


Dead by Daylight September 2026 Roadmap Revealed


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Capcom has just announced a massive launch milestone for Onimusha: Way of the Sword, with the latest entry in the more than 20-year-old franchise surpassing <strong>1 million copies sold on its first day</strong>. The <a href="https://all.gg/news/onimusha-way-of-the-sword-reveals-global-release-times/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/onimusha-way-of-the-sword-reveals-global-release-times/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">impressive launch</a> marks a major comeback for the beloved action series and shows just how much excitement has surrounded its long-awaited return.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Millions of Swords</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s no surprise that Onimusha: Way of the Sword was poised to make a major impact. Ever since its dramatic reveal, the return of <a href="https://all.gg/news/dino-crisis-remake-could-finally-be-happening/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/dino-crisis-remake-could-finally-be-happening/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a franchise that had been dormant</a> for more than two decades has captured the attention of longtime fans and newcomers alike. Now, that excitement has translated into some seriously impressive sales numbers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Within just 24 hours of release, Onimusha: Way of the Sword sold more than 1 million copies, giving the game an incredibly strong start right out of the gate. Following that announcement, Onimusha then went onto sell 10 million units worldwide.  For a series that has been away from the spotlight for so long, the milestone is an impressive testament to the enduring popularity of Onimusha and the anticipation surrounding its return.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With players once again taking up their swords and stepping into the series&#8217; supernatural world, Way of the Sword appears to have successfully brought the classic franchise back into the spotlight. If this launch momentum continues, Capcom could invest into another Onimusha game in the future.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Gamescom 2026 was most likely the biggest and craziest event so far this year, with all the games that got release dates, first reveals, new trailers, and more! And one game in particular finally made an appearance! Ananta was in the dark for so long that some people even forgot the game existed in the first place, but Gamescom brought it back to life with a new trailer and a release date planned for January 15, 2027. Since then, we keep getting more information from <a href="https://all.gg/news/ananta-might-have-one-of-the-most-interesting-open-worlds-coming-in-2027/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">various previews, interviews, and more</a>. It even looks like Naked Rain is not thinking small when it comes to Ananta.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They might have taken their sweet time when it came to producing and <a href="https://all.gg/news/ananta-reveals-female-protagonist-and-how-to-switch-between-characters/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">revealing the game</a>, but it seems a part of what they planned goes way beyond launch. According to Insider Gaming, Naked Rain is currently planning to support Ananta for at least seven years after its release, with regular updates bringing new quests, characters, maps, and more to the game.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">ANANTA is planned to be supported for at least 7 years! <br><br>According to Insider Gaming, Naked Rain plans to support ANANTA long-term, with regular updates adding new quests, characters, maps, and more.<br><br>If the plan stays on track, ANANTA could receive new content until 2034 and… <a href="https://t.co/K08w6IM9h5">pic.twitter.com/K08w6IM9h5</a></p>&mdash; Ananta Update (@AnantaUpdate) <a href="https://x.com/AnantaUpdate/status/2095906244649509017?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 4, 2026</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New Content up to 2034 and Beyond!</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If everything goes according to plan, that means Ananta could still be receiving new content in 2034 and potentially even beyond that. 7 years is a very long time for a game, and the fact that the developers already thought so far partially explains why they took so long to reveal what the game is even about. And considering the size of the game already, that is kind of wild.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The developers have also revealed that Ananta is expected to have more than 100 hours of content at launch. That includes the main story, exploring its open world, and taking part in the various side activities spread throughout the game. So we are potentially looking at <a href="https://all.gg/news/ananta-gets-release-date-and-new-trailer-showing-cities-and-vehicles/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">100+ hours of content</a> on day one, followed by years of new content being added afterwards. Of course, there is an important detail to keep in mind. <strong>Seven years is the current plan, not a guarantee</strong>. Live-service games can change direction depending on development, player numbers, and how the game performs after launch. So I would not take this as a promise that Ananta will definitely be getting updates all the way through 2034.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Still, it does show just how seriously Naked Rain and NetEase are approaching the game&#8217;s long-term future.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The team is planning to regularly expand Ananta with new quests, characters, maps, and other content, but this is not that unusual compared to other gacha games. Considering Ananta is launching as a free-to-play open-world RPG, this kind of long-term support is pretty much what you would expect from it. The interesting part is just how far ahead the developers are already thinking.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We are still a few months away from really getting our hands on it, so you still have to wait a little bit for more information. For now, you can at least expect 100+ hours of content at launch, and at least seven years of planned updates, if everything goes well for the game. Ananta could be around for a very long time!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Naughty Dog is still not really revealing more about Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, but it looks like they are not quite ready to leave The Last of Us behind just yet either! On the series side, the HBO adaptation is moving toward its conclusion, but Neil Druckmann has confirmed that Naughty Dog is still working on new projects within The Last of Us universe. He spoke to Gene Park of <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/video-games/2026/09/03/what-makes-good-video-game-writing-i-asked-writers/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Washington Post</a>, and when he was asked about the future of the franchise, he made it pretty clear that there is still more to come from Naughty Dog.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;We&#8217;re not done with &#8216;The Last of Us.&#8217; There&#8217;s a couple projects in the works that, when the time is right, I&#8217;m very excited to talk about.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So for anyone who wanted more of this amazing universe, you now have something to look forward to! We should also soon finally get information about Intergalactic, but maybe we will get details about these new The Last of Us projects first!</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">&quot;We’re not done with ‘The Last of Us.’ There’s a couple projects in the works that, when the time is right, I’m very excited to talk about.”<br><br>&#8211; Neil Druckmann speaking to Gene Park in The Washington Post. <a href="https://t.co/Gv4D5pHLug">pic.twitter.com/Gv4D5pHLug</a></p>&mdash; Geoff Keighley (@geoffkeighley) <a href="https://x.com/geoffkeighley/status/2095595444709851410?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 3, 2026</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Last of Us 3 or Something Entirely Else?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The biggest thing here is that Druckmann did not say what these projects are. There is no confirmation of The Last of Us Part 3, another spin-off, a multiplayer game, or anything else specifically. For now, all we know is that &#8220;a couple of projects are in the works.&#8221; And I think that is probably the best way to look at this announcement. It would be very easy to start guessing what Naughty Dog is cooking, especially after everything we have seen from the franchise over the years, but until the studio is ready to talk, it is all speculation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Druckmann also made an important distinction between the games and the HBO series. The third season of the adaptation is expected to end the story told across the first two games, but Naughty Dog is still very much in control of the The Last of Us game universe. He also confirmed that he was not involved in the creative direction of the upcoming third season anymore, meaning Naughty Dog&#8217;s plans for the games and the HBO show&#8217;s future are becoming way more separate. If you saw the second season and how terribly it was adapted compared to the amazing season 1, it does make sense that both are going in different directions and things end with season 3. It is now time for Druckmann and Naughty Dog to hit the accelerator and get things going on all these new projects they have planned, so we can finally see more!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Knowing Naughty Dog, we probably should not expect them to announce anything until they are good and ready.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For now, though, keep in mind that The Last of Us is not over!</p>

Where are the books, comics, and additional content that give you more of this amazing world and its much larger history?

</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is just one single post among many, but it looks like players need more lore about the Vrakhiri.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who Are the Vrakhiri</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In Dawnwalker, you play as a Vrakhiri, but Coen is a bit of a&#8230; &#8220;failure&#8221;. You did not really turn into a full Vrakhiri, but you are a Dawnwalker, and that means you only turn at night. But the real Vrakhiri are different, and there is so much we just do not know yet about them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Who was the first Vrakhiri? Who was the first Dawnwalker? What the hell happened over all those centuries?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The game takes place in a dark fantasy version of 14th-century Europe (AD 1347) during the Black Death, in a small valley called Vale Sangora. The Vrakhiri are an ancient vampire faction that rules over this valley. They are led by Brencis, a vampire originally born in AD 131, and he has 3 powerful lieutenants: </p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Xanthe</strong>: The oldest of the group, a former Ancient Greek priestess with dark secrets regarding her mortality and family</li>



<li><strong>Bakir</strong>: A cruel, bloodthirsty warmonger who spent centuries pillaging Central Asia</li>



<li><strong>Ambrus</strong>: The youngest who wants to prove himself, but that might end up regretting his actions depending on the choices you make</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And this is just the tip of the iceberg, really. The Blood of Dawnwalker has so much lore hidden throughout the world. You can find documents, books, and other pieces of information that reveal more about Vale Sangora, the Vrakhiri, and a ton of characters you encounter on your journey. The more you read through each document, the more you understand that the Vrakhiri have histories stretching across different centuries, civilizations, and cultures. They did not just appear in Vale Sangora, they existed way before. And when you reach the ending, you also realise that they will live on past that as well. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Please Give Us More of Vale Sangora and the Vrakhiri</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is clearly a much bigger world hiding behind what we see in the game, and players are now curious about all the stuff that happened before Coen&#8217;s story ever began. A book or comic series exploring the history of the Vrakhiri could honestly be a pretty cool way to expand that world without needing another full game. And if Rebel Wolves eventually decides to make DLC, there are clearly plenty of stories they could tell.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For now, though, we are left digging through every document we can find and wondering just how much vampire lore is still hiding in the shadows.</p>

The Blood of Dawnwalker has so much lore that players are already asking for more stories about the mysterious Vrakhiri.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Is The Blood of Dawnwalker the true successor of The Witcher 3? It could be, especially given it is already off to a pretty great start.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rebel Wolves shared a very small message about the game selling more than 1 million copies, just a few days after launching on September 3. They posted the news on the official Dawnwalker account, thanking everyone for &#8220;playing, sharing, supporting, and being part of the community.&#8221;</p>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Thank you for playing, sharing, supporting, and being part of the community! ❤ <a href="https://t.co/9fNqO8gNGB">pic.twitter.com/9fNqO8gNGB</a></p>&mdash; Dawnwalker (@DawnwalkerGame) <a href="https://x.com/DawnwalkerGame/status/2096246835388027235?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 5, 2026</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Congrats Rebel Wolves! That is a pretty impressive milestone, and definitely well deserved! We are absolutely having the best time ever with the game. The Blood of Dawnwalker is not only a new IP, but also the first game from Rebel Wolves. The studio was founded by former CD Projekt developers, and making a million sales this quickly is a very strong start for them. You can definitely see the talent coming from CDPR, and the inspirations that came with it, but at the same time they managed to make something really unique that can just not be compared to another game.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you were hesitating in buying it, we can only recommend you try it out. Sure, people might find things to complain about. But overall, the game is unique and tries new things. This makes it a wonderful piece of art in a time when too many studios just always do the same.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The game also launched into a pretty full September, so getting one million copies into players&#8217; hands this quickly is even more impressive!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For Rebel Wolves, it looks like Dawnwalker has managed to find its audience. And considering this is supposed to be the first chapter of a larger saga, that is probably very good news for whatever comes next. We will definitely be there for it!</p>

The Blood of Dawnwalker Sells 1 Million Copies in Its First Few Days


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As the <a href="https://all.gg/news/steam-survival-crafting-fest-is-here/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/steam-survival-crafting-fest-is-here/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Steam Survival Crafting Fest</a> winds down, we wanted to highlight one more <a href="https://all.gg/news/build-a-flying-fortress-in-everwind/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/build-a-flying-fortress-in-everwind/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">extremely promising survival crafting title</a> that you might want to keep an eye on. God Save Birmingham is a physics-driven zombie survival simulator set in medieval Birmingham, England, where Judgment Day has arrived.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Judgment Day Has Come</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A plague of flesh-eating ghouls and zombies has wiped out nearly every living soul, leaving you among the few survivors. While God Save Birmingham offers plenty of the <a href="https://all.gg/news/valheim-deep-north-trailer-builds-hype-for-1-0/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/valheim-deep-north-trailer-builds-hype-for-1-0/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">familiar survival mechanics</a> you&#8217;d expect, its biggest standout is its realistic physics engine. Almost every object in the world can be moved, thrown, or manipulated to help you survive.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Need to keep the undead out? Barricade doors with boxes, tables, or whatever else you can get your hands on. Want to slow down a horde? Toss junk into their path and watch them stumble over it. You can even pick up something as simple as a bucket and use it to knock a zombie off its feet.</p>

</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Of course, those same physics apply to you. One wrong step off a ledge could send your weapon flying, while a bad fall from too great a height could leave you with broken legs. In other words, the environment can be just as dangerous as the undead.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The World is Yours</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s up to you and your friends to scavenge the ruins of medieval Birmingham, search for food, secure clean drinking water, and find shelter inside abandoned homes while <a href="https://all.gg/news/no-more-room-in-hell-2-finally-gets-its-1-0-release-date/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/no-more-room-in-hell-2-finally-gets-its-1-0-release-date/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">trying to survive an undead siege</a>. Staying alive isn&#8217;t just about keeping your stomach full, either. You&#8217;ll also need to manage your mental state, as prolonged exposure to the horrors around you can push your character toward madness and despair.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At least there&#8217;s one silver lining, though. With practically no one left to stop you, the entire city is up for grabs. Want to claim an abandoned house as your own? Go for it. The world is yours, literally.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It certainly seems like God Save Birmingham has <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3073940/view/706652383055184748?l=english" data-type="link" data-id="https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3073940/view/706652383055184748?l=english" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">already started finding its audience</a>. Since the last closed beta, the game has attracted more than <strong>67,000 players</strong>, reaching a peak of <strong>1,412 active survivors</strong> at once. That growing interest likely stems from the game&#8217;s recent co-op announcement, which gives players even more reason to dive into its zombie-infested version of medieval Birmingham with friends.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Recently, the highly anticipated first-person action soulslike Valor Mortis received a brand-new story trailer, giving fans another look at what One More Level has been cooking up ahead of its October release. The latest trailer dives deeper into the game&#8217;s narrative, offering a better look at the characters, mysteries, and horrors waiting for fans.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Final Stretch</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The new Valor Mortis trailer puts the spotlight on our protagonist William as he faces the <a href="https://all.gg/news/twisted-tower-opens-its-doors-to-a-bloody-1950s-nightmare/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/twisted-tower-opens-its-doors-to-a-bloody-1950s-nightmare/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">countless trials, horrors, and enemies standing in his way.</a> However, it&#8217;s not all about the dangers he&#8217;ll encounter. We also get a brief glimpse at some of the survivors William will meet along the way, who could have a major impact on how his story unfolds.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Of course, the trailer also leaves us with plenty of questions. Why can&#8217;t William remember his past? What exactly was that mysterious beast lurking in the desert? And perhaps most importantly, who can William actually trust?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Thankfully, we won&#8217;t have to wait much longer to find out, as <strong>Valor Mortis launches on October 13</strong>.</p>

The Steam demo will be taken offline on <strong>September 8</strong>, giving players only a few more days to try it out.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to the developers, they&#8217;re removing the demo because the game has received so many quality-of-life improvements and other upgrades that the current demo no longer reflects the overall quality of the finished experience. So, if you&#8217;ve been waiting for an excuse to give Valor Mortis a shot, now is the time to jump in before the demo disappears.</p>

Valor Mortis Gets a New Story Trailer


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Gamescom and the Future Games Show were packed with new reveals. With so many games showcased, it&#8217;s easy for some of the more interesting projects to slip under the radar. One game you might have missed is Nailcrown, an upcoming <a href="https://all.gg/news/dioxide-looks-like-a-must-play-for-boomer-shooter-fans/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/dioxide-looks-like-a-must-play-for-boomer-shooter-fans/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">dark-fantasy boomer shooter</a> that brings fast-paced gunplay, brutal melee combat, and a truly ridiculous amount of gore.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is Nailcrown?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nailcrown is a savage boomer shooter that combines frantic gunplay with brutal &amp; bloody melee combat. While its grim and grotesque art style immediately helps it stand out, the game&#8217;s biggest selling point is arguably its dynamic gore system. You can bash, maim, and tear apart your enemies in a variety of increasingly brutal ways, making <a href="https://all.gg/news/scavland-is-a-grim-new-survival-rpg-worth-watching/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/scavland-is-a-grim-new-survival-rpg-worth-watching/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">every encounter an absolute bloodbath.</a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You&#8217;ll run and gun through foul medieval hellscapes either alone or in co-op, tearing your way through trolls, ghouls, minotaurs, and plenty of other horrifying creatures as you work toward your ultimate goal. Nailcrown embraces the old-school boomer-shooter formula, but it doesn&#8217;t stop at the traditional campaign. The game will also feature classic multiplayer modes, including Free-for-All and Team Deathmatch.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Naturally, you&#8217;ll have plenty of weapons to choose from when it&#8217;s time to start massacring your enemies. Nailcrown features classic firearms like nailguns and shotguns alongside more unusual weapons, such as the Lightning Impaler. If guns aren&#8217;t quite personal enough for you, you can always get up close and personal with a razor-sharp sword or a skull-crushing warhammer.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You&#8217;ll also want to keep your eyes open as you explore each hellish environment. Search the dark corners of the world for hidden secrets, discover shrines, and use them to improve your character. You&#8217;ll also be able to find upgrades for your weapons, making your already-deadly arsenal even more powerful.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>


If you love gore and old-school shooters, Nailcrown could be one of the most brutal games coming to the genre.


Nailcrown Might Be the Goriest Boomer Shooter Yet


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This year&#8217;s <a href="https://all.gg/news/gamescom-opening-night-live-2026-all-announcements-and-upcoming-games/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/gamescom-opening-night-live-2026-all-announcements-and-upcoming-games/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gamescom</a> has come and gone by so fast. There were a ton of brand-new game announcements, from big titles to new startups. Today we want to highlight some smaller projects from the livestream, which really deserve more attention, like DIOXIDE, an upcoming <a href="https://all.gg/news/fallen-aces-episode-2-is-out-now-with-25-off-on-steam/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/fallen-aces-episode-2-is-out-now-with-25-off-on-steam/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">comic book-style boomer shooter</a> set in a dystopian world.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is DIOXIDE?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From the creators of Forgive Me Father, DIOXIDE is a post-apocalyptic boomer shooter with a dash of soulslike elements. In this game, you are just another number in the corporate ledger, nothing more than a cheap spare part in the machine that never stops.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yet, you&#8217;ve obtained one part that sets you apart from the rest: a Core-ID administrator module, giving you the ability to come back from the dead, but also marking you as public enemy number one. You are now the last hope to break the system and forge a sanctuary for humanity&#8217;s remnants.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Your survival is a malfunction the Corporation has marked for immediate termination. Assemble an arsenal of versatile weapons, overhauling them with modules and attachments to face ruthless, neo-antique enforcers mass-printed to maintain order and dispose of anyone who opposes the authority.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ink, Oil, &amp; Blood</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Navigate the corporate-ruled metropolis where every sector is a cog in a malignant construct designed to grind everyone into profit. From the soot-choked production zones to the toxic undercity and the heavily-guarded upper-class district, every biome presents different challenges and resources for the taking.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Throughout your journey, you will encounter <a href="https://all.gg/news/war-fantasy-hits-30000-wishlists-ahead-of-release/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/war-fantasy-hits-30000-wishlists-ahead-of-release/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">civilians exploited by the Corporation</a>. Providing them a safe haven gives long-term benefits, but keeping them alive is a heavy burden. You can either protect the population to earn their loyalty, or grind the survivors down into resources. Will you protect your people, or exploit them just like the system you fought so hard to destroy?</p>

Step into a dystopian future in DIOXIDE, where brutal gunfights and deadly corporate enforcers stand between you and survival.


DIOXIDE Looks Like a Must-Play for Boomer Shooter Fans


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For years, players have been calling out developers for never taking risks. We get the same games with the same mechanics, and it just gets boring. But when one game does things differently and takes a big risk, it looks like players are still not happy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Blood of Dawnwalker has only just been released, but people are already finding ways to change one of its most important mechanics. You probably know by now that you have 30 days and 30 nights to save your family. Not everything advances time, but most quests, activities, and many skills will cost you time segments, meaning you simply cannot do everything in a single playthrough. That is the entire point of the game. You need to decide who deserves your time, and who or what does not.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Apparently, that is a problem since a mod is already circulating that increases the game&#8217;s time limit from 30 days to 90 days in a way that allows you to &#8220;clean your map&#8221; of all quests and activities, and still save your family on time. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is easy to understand why people want this because we got too used to games who litteraly force you to complete every quest and unlock every skill before moving on. This turns Dawnwalker&#8217;s time limit into another restriction, and missing content because you decided to help one character instead of another can be frustrating. The problem is that for Dawnwalker, that is exactly what the game is designed around.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">You Are Not Supposed to Do Everything</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/dawnwalker-magic-1024x576.webp" alt="The Blood of Dawnwalker" class="wp-image-17093" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/dawnwalker-magic-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/dawnwalker-magic-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/dawnwalker-magic-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/dawnwalker-magic-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/dawnwalker-magic.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The 30-day limit is not just there to make the game harder since it is the foundation of Dawnwalker&#8217;s decision-making mechanics. Every time you spend a time segment, you are deciding that what you are doing right now is more important than something else you could have done with that time. That is very different from the usual RPGs of &#8220;I will do everything available on my map.&#8221; You can still do a lot within the 30-day limit, and you can even easily get the best set of gear, weapons, and skills in these 30 days, but it does come with consequences that you need to be ok with. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You also cannot experience everything, but that is arguably the whole point. The limitation forces you to think about what you are doing instead of treating the world like a checklist where every icon eventually gets crossed off. The game is pretty much made to be replayed, and it is ok if you do not complete everything. You can even ignore the 30 days and just complete side content and take your time. We saw posts of people who even recommended ignoring the &#8220;save your family&#8221; part and just doing what you want. I would not recommend doing that because, in the end, Coen should save his family on time, but it is an option worth mentioning. Once again, the entire point is to make a choice and accept its consequences. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yes, if you do not save your family on time, nothing good will happen, but if you are ok with that, that is one way to play the game.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is Modding It Out Really Ruining the Game?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/07/blood-dawnwalker-coen-lady-1024x576.webp" alt="The Blood of Dawnwalker" class="wp-image-15284" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/07/blood-dawnwalker-coen-lady-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/07/blood-dawnwalker-coen-lady-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/07/blood-dawnwalker-coen-lady-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/07/blood-dawnwalker-coen-lady-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/07/blood-dawnwalker-coen-lady.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It would be wrong to say that.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You play the game the way you want to play it, and no, it is not going to &#8220;ruin&#8221; it for you if this is how you enjoy playing. But it would be a lie to say that the entire experience will be the same if you mod this specific part. Either way, it is your choice to make. Mods have always been a way for PC players so they could turn it into something they enjoy, and there is nothing wrong with wanting a more &#8220;relaxed&#8221; experience.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But I do think that, for once, when a developer makes the effort to take a huge risk with something, we should at least give it a chance. And if you are considering modding because the 30-day limit sounds annoying, it might be worth playing through the game once without changing it first. You might find that having to leave things unfinished is what makes your choices feel meaningful. Someone posted on Twitter/X the perfect explanation as to why you should at least give it a chance first:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The time limit mechanic in The Blood of Dawnwalker is one of its biggest strengths and by the end of a playthrough, you&#39;ll realize its genius.<br><br>Time moves forward when you do quests, buy skills or complete activities.

</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the end, everyone plays games differently. If 90 days makes The Blood of Dawnwalker more fun for you, then just go for it. <strong>There is no right or wrong way to play</strong>. The goal is for you to have fun, and that is it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Just do not assume that the 30-day limit is just a restriction that is there to be annoying or that the developers forgot to remove. Because the reality is that this is probably the most important part of what makes Dawnwalker such an interesting and unique game. So we would recommend you give it a chance before you modify that aspect.</p>

A new Blood of Dawnwalker mod extends the 30-day limit to 90 days, reigniting debate over whether the game’s time mechanic should be ignored.


The Blood of Dawnwalker’s Time Limit Might Be Its Best and Most Divisive Feature


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">By now you probably realised that GTA 6 is really going to play and feel different than the previous games. It seems Rockstar adjusted everything, from the biggest feature to the little systems we have become used to in previous games, and the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/Nd81Md-kByI?si=mmx0AOVrWU0N2cYo&amp;t=10749">latest creator previews</a> have <a href="https://youtu.be/3nVF2EY_iHg?si=odNc0CT72CQtdVNf&amp;t=927" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">revealed some interesting changes</a> to what happens when Jason or Lucia gets wasted or arrested.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the biggest changes is that you apparently will not simply wake up outside a hospital or police station every time something goes wrong. Instead, the game can respawn you near where you died or were arrested, making the whole system feel way different.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And thankfully, Rockstar is also getting rid of one particularly annoying part of the old system.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gta6-jason-police-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-17670" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gta6-jason-police-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gta6-jason-police-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gta6-jason-police-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gta6-jason-police-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gta6-jason-police.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">No More Hospital Bills Every Time You Die</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Getting wasted in GTA 6 is not going to leave you with a hospital bill if you get wasted. According to the previews, Rockstar deliberately removed that system because they did not want players going broke simply because they died too many times. There is, however, another financial consequence you need to worry about, since any cash you are carrying can be lost when you die or get arrested.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Money you have already deposited into your bank account is safe, meaning you will have a good reason to regularly stop at an ATM and deposit your cash instead of walking around with everything you have earned. Because if you die, well&#8230; you lose all the money you have on you at that moment. This also means that if you rob a bank, you might want to make sure you can make it out of there alive, or at least long enough so you can put it all in a safe place first.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The bank account is also shared between Jason and Lucia, so you do not have to worry about transferring money between the two characters.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you have stolen goods in a duffel bag, you will first need to take them to a fence to turn that loot into actual cash before you can bank it. You cannot just give anything to the bank, it needs to be actual cash.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Your Weapons Are Not Gone Forever</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Losing your cash is not the only thing that happens when you die or get arrested, but at least your personal weapons are not simply gone. You can recover those from the trunk of your vehicle after you respawn.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So not only can you store more weapons and clothes in your car, but if you die, everything is basically still in there. The question is more: can you recover your car or not if you get arrested with it?</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gta6-lucia-bag-car-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-17669" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gta6-lucia-bag-car-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gta6-lucia-bag-car-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gta6-lucia-bag-car-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gta6-lucia-bag-car-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gta6-lucia-bag-car.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Your Car Can Come Back to You</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To answer the previous question, we have a small answer. If your personal vehicle gets destroyed, you do not necessarily have to go searching for a replacement. You can call Scooter Bros, pay a small fee, and have your vehicle delivered back to you. The fun part is that this is not just some instant menu teleport. An NPC really arrives on a scooter, delivers your car, and then rides away.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is completely unnecessary, but honestly, it is the kind of ridiculous little detail that makes GTA 6 feel like Rockstar is taking its world simulation very seriously this time. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stolen Cars Have Their Own Rules</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This previous method works for your own personal cars, but there is also a new distinction between cars you own and vehicles you are simply driving around in. An unregistered vehicle appears as a gray icon on the minimap, and if you quit the game without registering it, you can lose it. However, you do not necessarily have to register it immediately. If you cannot afford the registration cost, you can store the vehicle in your garage and come back to it once you have got enough money. But if you lose the car during a chase or something like that, chances are you will lose it if it was not registered in your name. We do not know if you lose anything you had stored in there as well, but the guess is that yes. SO you might want to make sure you only store valuable items in your own vehicles, and not inside those you stole.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So overall, yes, no more hospital and going bankrupt because of the bill. Money can be lost if not stored in a bank, if you die, you respawn nearby, and your personal weapons can be found in the trunk of your car, and you can call Scooter Bros to deliver your car directly to you. And this is just a small part of all the new features the game has to offer!</p>

New GTA 6 preview details reveal changes to respawning, including lost cash, nearby respawns, recovered weapons, vehicle recovery and more.


GTA 6 Is Changing How Respawning Works After You Die or Get Arrested


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Blood of Dawnwalker is not really allowing you to get a ton of money really fast. You pick up a few Denarii here and there during your exploration, and you can sell your old gear, but the best way to obtain Denarii is through selling something that is pretty much illegal when your valley is ruled by Vampires. And that is why it is so valuable. Silver is one of the better sources of cash once you know where to take it, but there is a small step you need to complete before you can even sell it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because Silver is illegal, normal vendors will never buy any of it from you. No one wants to risk it. So you need to find a Silver Trader first, and they are not really advertising their whereabouts either. After all, trading silver pretty much means you are risking your life. And once you find the trader, it is also not easy to find silver since most of it has already been destroyed by Brencis&#8217; men.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But we might be able to help you with that! Here is how to unlock the Silver Trader and where to find one of the best silver stashes in the game.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to Unlock the Silver Trader</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As mentioned, before you can sell your silver, you will need to find the Silver Trader in Svartrau. He is not that hard to find, but he is just in a place where you do not necessarily think of going back to. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To unlock him, head to the cave located northwest of Laslea Glen. This is the village you start your adventure in. You can unlock that during the prologue, but it is best to do it later, because it will spend some time segments, and you already do not have that many during the prologue.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="560" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-bear-cave-1024x560.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-17838" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-bear-cave-1024x560.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-bear-cave-300x164.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-bear-cave-768x420.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-bear-cave.webp 1098w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you did the quest where you fish with your siblings, it is basically just behind that fishing spot. You will run into some wolves before noticing a cave. Inside the cave, you will have to deal with a Ravenous Bear. Once you have taken care of it, loot the body inside the cave to find a Tattered Letter. It is basically</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The letter basically talks about a flat stone marked with an X, so you need to track this quest and head to the designated location. From there, look for a small roofless house with a flat stone inside and an X mark nearby, and pick up the &#8220;Letter with a Tip&#8221; inside.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="604" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalekr-roofless-house-1024x604.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-17839" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalekr-roofless-house-1024x604.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalekr-roofless-house-300x177.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalekr-roofless-house-768x453.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalekr-roofless-house.webp 1464w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Once you have done that, you can head to the <strong>Silver Trader in Svartrau</strong>. The option to trade silver items should now be available.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="594" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-silver-trader-1024x594.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-17840" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-silver-trader-1024x594.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-silver-trader-300x174.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-silver-trader-768x445.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-silver-trader.webp 1168w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Best Place to Farm Silver</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now that you unlocked the trader, you need Silver. Since it is illegal, Brencis is making sure that all things silver are being hunted down and destroyed, so you are not going to find a lot of it in every house you loot. However, there are a few places where you can get a good amount in one go.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One particularly good spot to check is the cave behind the Bright Side waterfall. There is a good stash of silver waiting inside, along with the Arbitus Medallion, making this a pretty worthwhile detour if you are looking to fill your pockets.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can also find Lumps of Silver in piles of stones, particularly inside caves, so it is worth keeping an eye out for them and exploring them. The cathedral is also a good place. Enter during the day, and talk to the boy working there. You can get him to open a room behind him, and there is quite a lot of silver down there (on top of a mysterious key).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Other sources of silver include treasure hunts since those can reward you with silver items that you can later sell to the trader. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We recommend you watch the short video from AC Brotherhood Gaming, since they went over a few locations where you can get a good amount of Silver:</p>

How to Unlock the Silver Trader and Farm Silver in The Blood of Dawnwalker


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ananta has been one of those games that has been pretty difficult to judge from trailers alone, especially given the little information we had for so long. Since the reveal of the release date and new gameplay during Gamescom, this upcoming free-to-play open-world RPG has shown off huge cities, cool combat, driving, character switching, and a frankly ridiculous amount of things to do. But until people get to spend some proper time wandering around its world, there was still a pretty obvious question: does the game really feel like that when you are the one playing it?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Following the Gamescom demos, the answer seems to be surprisingly close to yes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ananta is now scheduled to launch worldwide on January 15, 2027, and many creators and press members got hands-on time with different sections of the game during Gamescom.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://youtu.be/tR12HuC2yZo?si=75ji2A12qA8cY0eN" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">One creator who tested both available demos</a> came away particularly impressed by something that does not always come across in trailers. Nova City really feels huge when you are exploring it yourself. A lot of information from these Demos is under NDA, so creators could not share it all, but we still learned a lot from what was revealed!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nova City Feels Like a Real City</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="560" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ananta-flying-car-1024x560.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-17380" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ananta-flying-car-1024x560.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ananta-flying-car-300x164.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ananta-flying-car-768x420.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ananta-flying-car.webp 1325w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first demo offered more than two hours of relatively free exploration around Nova City, allowing the creator to mess around with combat, driving, traversal, NPC interactions, activities, and character switching. And apparently, the scale of the city was one of the biggest surprises. Nova City is not just a bunch of huge skyscrapers that look impressive when the camera is flying through them. Once you are moving around on the ground, the distances between locations start to become noticeable, making the city feel much larger than it might appear in a trailer.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That matters quite a bit for Ananta, because the whole game seems to be built around the idea that you are supposed to live in this city. It is not just a place you move through from one mission marker to another, since this will be your main place. Other Gamescom previews have also highlighted the amount of interaction available throughout the world, with journalists describing a city that feels unusually dense with things to discover.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">You Can Interact With the People Around You</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the more interesting details from the hands-on session was how NPCs react to what you are doing, a bit like GTA 6. Pull out a gun and civilians can panic and run away. Attack someone, and they may flee or fight back. Drive toward pedestrians, and they will try to get out of the way, and they can react angrily afterward. None of this is particularly revolutionary on its own, but it is important for a game that is trying to sell itself on being a living open world.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Even better, different characters can interact with the city in completely different ways.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Richie, for example, is a police character who can stop civilians, question them, perform alcohol or drug tests, and arrest people who have committed an offense.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="888" height="500" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/ananta-cover-trailer.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-7884" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/ananta-cover-trailer.webp 888w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/ananta-cover-trailer-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/ananta-cover-trailer-768x432.webp 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 888px) 100vw, 888px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Switching Characters Changes How You Explore</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ananta does not appear to work like a traditional gacha RPG where you have three or four characters on screen and constantly rotate between them during exploration and fights. Instead, you control one character at a time, with a character wheel allowing you to switch between the different members of your cast. Again, a bit like GTA allows you to swap between the main characters. The camera pulls away from your current character, travels across the city, and then zooms into whoever you selected.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The characters also do not simply &#8220;freeze&#8221; in place until you come back to them. They continue doing their own thing, meaning that switching characters can reveal them in completely different situations. And because each character has their own abilities, the choice can also change how you move around the city.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The protagonist can swing between buildings, but another character can summon a motorcycle&#8230; there are plenty of ways to get around the city, depending on who you are controlling.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/ananta-spiderman-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-7878" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/ananta-spiderman-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/ananta-spiderman-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/ananta-spiderman-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/ananta-spiderman-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/ananta-spiderman-2048x1152.webp 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At least it will feel less repetitive to go around the city! If you are bored of swinging around buildings, just switch to another character!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Traversal Looks Like One of the Best Features</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A lot is going on when it comes to getting around. You can run and climb across a surprising number of surfaces, swing between buildings, and use cars to cover longer distances. The creator who tested the demo found the driving particularly smooth and accessible, without the overly loose handling that some open-world games suffer from.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is also a metro system that can be used as fast travel, and you even get a short subway sequence to make the transition feel more natural.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is a small thing, but these details matter when your entire game is built around making the city itself part of the experience.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Combat Is Unique as Well</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="564" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ananta-funny-fights-1024x564.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-17381" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ananta-funny-fights-1024x564.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ananta-funny-fights-300x165.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ananta-funny-fights-768x423.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ananta-funny-fights.webp 1317w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The combat also looks somewhat different from what you might expect if you have played a lot of action gachas. As mentioned, you control only one character, so there is no constant swapping around to create elemental reactions, specific combos, or things like that. Characters can fight unarmed, dodge and parry, and a weapon wheel lets you use different weapons and even objects found around the environment.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yes, that includes things like baseball bats and street signs.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Special attacks are also more linked to the weapon you are using, and finishers and QTEs can also be triggered during combat.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The regular enemies in the demo did not sound particularly difficult, although that is not necessarily a bad thing at this stage. The creator did not get to test bosses, so it is still too early to know how hard the combat can become. We will know more once Ananta starts throwing more serious enemies at you.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That is one of the big limitations of these demos. We still have not seen enough of the game&#8217;s long-term combat progression to know how well the system will hold up. The devs did share that they have already planned to support the game for at least 7 years, so a lot of content is probably coming, but everything is still secret for now!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">There Is a Surprising Amount of Random Stuff to Do</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Another thing that seems to be working in Ananta&#8217;s favor is how much the developers are willing to let you do outside of combat. You can enter places such as gyms and use their equipment, with activities including treadmills, squats, and even yoga. There are clothing stores where you can buy individual pieces and mix and match them instead of simply selecting complete outfits. You can even take other characters to the cinema, choose a movie and watch it together.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These are not necessarily features that will make or break the game, but they help reinforce the idea that the open world is not just there to connect missions together.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And that might be Ananta&#8217;s best quality so far.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Chongxiao Shows a Very Different Side of the Game</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="572" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/ananta-chongxiao-1024x572.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-17834" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/ananta-chongxiao-1024x572.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/ananta-chongxiao-300x167.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/ananta-chongxiao-768x429.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/ananta-chongxiao.webp 1333w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The second demo moved away from Nova City entirely and into Chongxiao, a region inspired by traditional Chinese environments. If you are not a fan of big cities, you will definitely like this second zone more. Instead of skyscrapers, traffic and a ton of people, Chongxiao has traditional architecture, vegetation, tea plantations and a much slower pace. It is relaxing and beautiful.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The playable section included a traditional village and activities connected to tea production, and a story sequence involving Yinglong and her sister.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Other Gamescom coverage also pointed out how good it felt to have such a different atmosphere. And that is probably more important than simply having two different-looking maps. If Ananta can genuinely make its different regions feel like different places to live in, it could give the game a lot more variety once new areas start being added.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">But There Are Still Some Pretty Big Questions</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="570" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ananta-cup-night-1024x570.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-17314" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ananta-cup-night-1024x570.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ananta-cup-night-300x167.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ananta-cup-night-768x428.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ananta-cup-night.webp 1320w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Gamescom demos are encouraging, but they do not suddenly answer every question about Ananta. We still have not seen enough of the endgame, long-term progression, or big boss encounters. Multiplayer is another big unknown, especially since it is supposed to become part of the game. Performance also needs to be tested properly. The demo reportedly ran smoothly, but preview PCs are not exactly representative of every gaming PC or phone that will eventually run the game.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We also did not see anything about the gacha system itself. Outside of the fact that it will not be around characters, there is not much we know.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So there is still plenty to prove!</p>

Ananta Might Have One of the Most Interesting Open Worlds Coming in 2027


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As the <a href="https://all.gg/news/steam-survival-crafting-fest-is-here/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/steam-survival-crafting-fest-is-here/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Steam Survival Crafting Fest</a> winds down in just a few days, we wanted to highlight another multiplayer survival crafting title you might want to check out. <strong>Everwind</strong> is an open-world multiplayer survival crafting game where you and your friends set off on an adventure aboard a flying ship that you call home.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is Everwind?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the biggest things that sets Everwind apart from other survival crafting games, aside from its distinct yet familiar art style, is its unique main gimmick. You can construct a flying house, fortress, or even a small island and take your home with you as you <a href="https://all.gg/news/valheim-deep-north-trailer-builds-hype-for-1-0/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/valheim-deep-north-trailer-builds-hype-for-1-0/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">explore its open-world sandbox.</a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Afraid of getting lost and forgetting where you built your base? Or maybe you&#8217;ve run into a new and exciting location, only to wish you could move your entire base there. That problem doesn&#8217;t exist in Everwind. Your home is always with you, and you can fortify, expand, and rebuild it whenever you want. Build walls, workstations, gardens, or even massive towers; the only real limit is your imagination.</p>

</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can play solo or team up with up to four friends, with everyone sharing one massive floating fortress. The world is an infinite, procedurally generated sandbox featuring multiple unique biomes, each with its own landscapes, enemies, and environments.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But that&#8217;s not all. Everwind also features <strong>over 1,000 handcrafted points of interest</strong>, along with procedurally generated dungeons that can offer a different experience every time you explore them. The world is also fully destructible, allowing you to shape, mold, or tear apart your surroundings as you see fit.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When it comes to combat, there are <a href="https://all.gg/news/enshrouded-1-0-launches-this-october-with-console-release/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/enshrouded-1-0-launches-this-october-with-console-release/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">plenty of different playstyles and weapons to choose from</a>. You can fight with swords and bows, wield magic and enchanted books, or even experiment with alchemy to take down your enemies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Currently, <strong>Everwind is 25% off</strong>, making it a great time to check out the game if you&#8217;ve been looking for something new to play. The developers have also shared a sneak peek at <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2253100/view/690893589804221357?l=english" data-type="link" data-id="https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2253100/view/690893589804221357?l=english" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the game&#8217;s next update</a>, which will introduce new wildlife, chests, trophies, and a brand-new weapon.</p>

Everwind puts a unique spin on survival crafting by letting players build and customize a flying base that travels with them.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With the blazing summer winding down, the devs are looking into some potential new updates for the Far Far West Halloween update. We&#8217;ve seen previews of new lighting and other thematic elements that will likely rotate as October approaches. The devs have also said that while these new lighting and ambient effects won&#8217;t stick around all year, some elements will remain after Halloween to help improve each map&#8217;s atmosphere.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New Skins in the Works</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="593" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Far-Far-West-Character-Skin-Concept-1024x593.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-17821" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Far-Far-West-Character-Skin-Concept-1024x593.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Far-Far-West-Character-Skin-Concept-300x174.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Far-Far-West-Character-Skin-Concept-768x445.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Far-Far-West-Character-Skin-Concept-1536x890.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Far-Far-West-Character-Skin-Concept.webp 2000w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There will also be some brand-new skins coming with the next Halloween Event for Far Far West, but they are still in early development. However, we will likely see more polished versions in next month&#8217;s devblog.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But aside from character skins, the devs are also finally giving players something to spend their extra blueprints on. We are finally getting an early preview of what some upcoming weapon skins might look like. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New Alternative Modes?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This devblog mainly covers upcoming concepts, designs, and ideas that might not make it to launch. But one thing we found interesting enough to point out is some potential new modes.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s now day three of the WARDOGS Playtest, and the developers are really starting to open the floodgates. Today, the servers are officially open to everyone, meaning even more players can jump into the beta, and, naturally, <a href="https://all.gg/news/wardogs-playtest-hits-219k-players-on-day-2/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/wardogs-playtest-hits-219k-players-on-day-2/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the player count is climbing once again.</a></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">WARDOGS Beta Day 3</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Another day, another massive WARDOGS player spike. The developers have officially opened the doors to everyone, giving players around the world a chance to jump into the beta. As a result, the game has broken its peak player count for the <strong>third day in a row</strong>, with the current record sitting at <strong>245,118 concurrent players</strong> as of a few hours ago.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="595" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/WARDOGS-Playtest-Day-3-Numbers-1024x595.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-17815" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/WARDOGS-Playtest-Day-3-Numbers-1024x595.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/WARDOGS-Playtest-Day-3-Numbers-300x174.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/WARDOGS-Playtest-Day-3-Numbers-768x447.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/WARDOGS-Playtest-Day-3-Numbers.webp 1032w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now that the beta is open to everyone, even more players have a chance to jump in and see just how much the servers can handle. After all, that&#8217;s exactly what the developers are hoping to accomplish throughout the weekend: stress-testing WARDOGS with as many players as possible ahead of its Early Access launch.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The beta will remain open until <strong>Sunday at 08:00 UTC</strong>, so there’s only a limited amount of time left to jump in and experience WARDOGS for free before the game moves into Early Access.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And if you’re already playing, don’t forget about the <a href="https://all.gg/news/wardogs-launches-100k-clip-contest/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/wardogs-launches-100k-clip-contest/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">$100K Clip Contest</a>. Everyone participating in the playtest is eligible to submit their best clips for a chance to win a share of the massive prize pool, including a <strong>$100,000 cash prize</strong> for one lucky player.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Blood of Dawnwalker is a game where you can obtain a ton of different gear over time. However, since the game is not very forgiving, especially when you are playing on higher difficulty, it can be useful to obtain good gear early on. So if you have just started The Blood of Dawnwalker, there is a pretty good reason to take a small detour before getting started with your exploration into the open world.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A Legendary sword called Durandal can be obtained surprisingly early, and it can become a very useful weapon for the rest of your playthrough. The sword is linked to the optional &#8220;The Cursed Chasm&#8221; side quest and can be upgraded as you progress. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to Get Durandal</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is not very hard to find, but it is hard to obtain because the area it is in is pretty much surrounded by terrifying enemies. There is also the fact that starting the quest <strong>costs two time segments</strong>, so keep that in mind before committing to it as well, and make sure you are coming to this place at night, because you will definitely need your Vampire abilities for it.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From there on, things are a little bit more complicated. If you are already a bit higher level, you can probably fight all the enemies that are hiding down there, but if you are under level 10, chances are you will get one shot.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is a really nice early legendary sword if you are investing in Swordmastery or playing on challenging difficulty, and unlike some gear, you can keep upgrading it as you level up. It grants 11% Damage against Supernatural enemies, less Attack and Dodge Stamina cost, and less Swordmastery Ability Cooldown!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Considering how much the game emphasizes making the most of your limited time, spending two segments on a weapon you can potentially keep using for a long time seems like a pretty good deal.</p>

You can get a powerful Legendary sword surprisingly early in The Blood of Dawnwalker. Here is where to find it and start The Cursed Chasm.


How to Get One of The Blood of Dawnwalker’s Best Early Swords


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Blood of Dawnwalker has finally arrived, and yes, it is as amazing as you thought it would be! But if you are just getting started, you might quickly realize that the game does not exactly explain all of its systems particularly well, and it is really not forgiving. There are many ways to play, and as many ways to make decisions you might regret later on. With only 30 days and 30 nights to save your family, wasting time on the wrong activities can come back to bite you later. Unless you choose the path of taking your time. You are not forced to respect the 30 days, but you will have to be ok with the consequences.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After spending some time with the game, there are quite a few things worth knowing before you start burning through your limited time. Here are some early Blood of Dawnwalker tips I wish I had known from the start.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Keep an Eye on the Hourglass</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pretty much everything you do in Blood of Dawnwalker revolves around your limited time, so make sure you check the hourglass cost before starting a quest, activity, or even unlocking certain skills. Some activities advance time, and even if that might not seem like a big deal early on, those time segments add up surprisingly quickly.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is also why you should not feel like you need to complete every random activity you come across. Prioritize things that matter to you, especially family quests, named characters, manuals, and recipes. For the same reason, do not rush to repair every broken Shrine you find. If an activity costs valuable time, ask yourself if the reward is really worth it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A little tip for chests is also the fact that you can see what is in the chest before picking anything up. For chests that cost time to open, it only spends the time if you decide to take anything from it. But if you just check the loot and decide it&#8217;s not worth it, the time will not be spent.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Do Not Use Mods on Your First Playthrough</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is especially valuable for the time-skip mod that lets you ignore the entire 30-day mechanic. The time mechanic is not really similar to other games. Not everything costs time, there are plenty of quests or choices that you can make that do not cost you a time segment, and the activities that do cost time are not just here to annoy you or make the game more difficult. They have a reason to exist. So adding time to yourself just so you can &#8220;clear your map&#8221; is ultimately going to ruin the entire experience for you.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The game is made in a way where the entire point is the fact that you do NOT have enough time to help everyone. You are not some chosen one, or the hero of the entire valley. Your only goal is ultimately to save YOUR family, and even if you can help a few people on the way there, it is humanly impossible to help everyone. It is up to you to decide what and who is worth it or not. Because if you try to play the hero, your family will pay the price.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yes, if you miss a quest or you get to some point too late, it will have consequences, but that is the entire point of the game. The entire story revolves around choices and consequences, and accepting the fact that sometimes, you will make bad choices.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-anca-1024x576.webp" alt="The Blood of Dawnwalker Anca and Coen" class="wp-image-17760" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-anca-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-anca-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-anca-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-anca-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-anca.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Use Day and Night for Different Things</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Again, your schedule is not just a gimmick. Certain activities are much better suited to one half of the day, and some things are also only available during the day or at night.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During the day, focus on things like conversations, Witchcraft, vendors, and scouting. Nighttime, meanwhile, is when you want to take advantage of your vampire abilities, feeding and supernatural traversal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This also makes it useful to maintain separate day and night loadouts, rather than constantly swapping individual pieces of equipment.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Activate Shrines Whenever You Can</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Shrines are extremely useful, so activate them whenever you come across one. Besides helping with fast travel, Shrines also provide storage, and that means you do not necessarily need to dump perk points into increasing your carry weight. Basically, treat the Shrines as your universal storage system and save those perk points for abilities that help you. Especially since those cost time. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Just ignore the Shrines that need to be repaired since those are really not worth it, unless it is one in a really secluded area that is hard to reach.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Scout Watch Towers at Night</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/blood-of-dawnwalker-night-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-6577" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/blood-of-dawnwalker-night-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/blood-of-dawnwalker-night-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/blood-of-dawnwalker-night-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/blood-of-dawnwalker-night-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/blood-of-dawnwalker-night.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Once you have access to your vampire abilities, nighttime is a great opportunity to scout the Watch Towers, so if you are exploring at night and waiting for time to pass, try to seek one out and unlock it before the day arrives. Revealing the map before committing to activities lets you see more points of interest and makes planning your next moves much easier. Considering how valuable your time is, having a better idea of what is around you can save quite a few wasted trips.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After the prologue, it is worth visiting the 11 Watch Towers to reveal more of the map and its activities. And then from that point on, you can decide what to do. Just be careful when you walk around in higher-level zones, as enemies can become quite deadly.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Do Not Mess Around With Named NPCs</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the easiest mistakes to make is assuming that every NPC is expendable. But if he has a name, you might not want to troll him too much. Killing a named character can remove future dialogue and, in some cases, completely close off questlines. So before you decide that someone looks particularly murderable, it is probably worth checking if they might become relevant later.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The same applies to feeding on humans. It can cause NPCs to become hostile and potentially lock you out of quests, so it is usually safer to feed on animals or use blood vials instead. Unless your goal is to go the &#8220;evil&#8221; path and just straight up eat everyone. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And definitely do not start chatting with NPCs at night when you are starving unless you are prepared for things to potentially go very, very wrong. Coen remains a Vampire, and if he is hungry for blood, there is not much you will be able to do to stop him from just eating the first person in front of him.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/07/blood-of-dawnwalker-characters-1024x576.webp" alt="The Blood of Dawnwalker Characters" class="wp-image-16276" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/07/blood-of-dawnwalker-characters-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/07/blood-of-dawnwalker-characters-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/07/blood-of-dawnwalker-characters-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/07/blood-of-dawnwalker-characters-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/07/blood-of-dawnwalker-characters.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Do Not Let Your Blood Meter Hit Zero</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This one is in the same vibe as the previous point. Your Blood Meter is something you really do not want to ignore. If it reaches zero, your character can randomly attack NPCs, and that can quickly turn an otherwise harmless visit into a disaster.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Keep an eye on it and make sure you have a reliable way to replenish it before heading into situations where you might need to interact with people.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Get Movement Abilities Early</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A few skills can make exploring the world considerably better and faster.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mercurial Fervour is a useful early choice during the day, and Wolf Form can dramatically improve your movement at night. Shadow Step is also worth investing in if you want to get around some of the game&#8217;s gated areas. Both points are located down right in your skill tree.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="732" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-skills-1024x732.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-17807" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-skills-1024x732.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-skills-300x215.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-skills-768x549.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-skills.webp 1060w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wolf Form is under the Vampirism tree, and Mercurial Fervour is under the Witchcraft one.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Basically, the sooner you make traversal easier, the less of your limited time you will spend running around.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Swordmastery Is the Safest Investment</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you are not sure where to spend your early skill points, Swordmastery is a pretty safe option. The big advantage is that swords can be used during both day and night. That makes them a more reliable early investment than constantly building around equipment that only works in certain situations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And do not feel like you need to constantly switch weapons just because you find something new. Learning enemy attack patterns and getting comfortable with parrying will generally take you further than endlessly changing your weapon. Parry is really something you do need to learn.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Do Not Waste Money Upgrading Everything</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Equipment scales to your level when you find it, so there is not much reason to spend all your currency trying to upgrade an entire set early on.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Instead, consider focusing your resources on one strong legendary sword and upgrading around that.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Spreading your currency across multiple weapons and armor pieces can get expensive very quickly, especially when you are still figuring out what kind of build you want.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Armor Proficiency Is Easy to Miss</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Found some cool armor you cannot use yet? You probably do not just need more money. Better armor requires the appropriate armor proficiency, and you can unlock it through skill books purchased from blacksmiths and armorers. So when you find a piece of gear that you cannot equip, check if you need to increase your proficiency first. And remember that simply buying the manual is not enough. You need to read it from your inventory to unlock its benefits.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The same goes for manuals and recipes in general. If you pick one up and forget to read it, you have not unlocked the new skill or crafting option yet.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Craft Healing Items Instead of Relying on Food</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Food might seem like the obvious way to recover health early on, but it is not particularly efficient once you have access to better options. Minor Mending Ointments provide instant recovery and are much more convenient when you are in the middle of a fight.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So instead of constantly stuffing your face with food every time your health drops, start crafting and carrying some healing items.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Do Not Sabotage Court Members Too Much</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you are working against the Court, there is another easy way to waste time. Do not keep sabotaging its members after you have already pushed them far enough. Once a Court member is sufficiently angered, you can trigger their boss fight. Continuing to sabotage them beyond that point can consume additional time and increase your unwanted infamy for little benefit.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Know when you have done enough and move on.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Your 30-Day Limit Matters, but You Can Choose to Ignore It</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Again, remember that Blood of Dawnwalker is not a game where you can casually spend hundreds of hours clearing every icon on the map before progressing the story.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You have 30 days and 30 nights to save your family.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That does not mean you should sprint through the main story, but it does mean you should think twice before spending time on something that does not give you a meaningful reward. The game is designed around making choices about what you do not have time to do. Do not be afraid to leave an activity unfinished if something more important comes up.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, you do not need to be scared about spending time either. 30 days can be long, and you definitely have the time to do a LOT.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You also do not have to care. This is your story, and if you do not want to care about the time-limit, you do not have to. But again, this does have heavy consequences, so you just have to accept the fact that some things will happen if you ignore it.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pick a Path and Stick With It</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/dawnwalker-coen-sword-1024x576.webp" alt="The Blood of Dawnwalker Coen" class="wp-image-16491" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/dawnwalker-coen-sword-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/dawnwalker-coen-sword-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/dawnwalker-coen-sword-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/dawnwalker-coen-sword.webp 1422w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you are planning to play through Blood of Dawnwalker more than once, consider committing to either the human or vampire path and do not mix everything together. The different paths give you access to different skill trees and can significantly change how your character plays and how your choices affect the story. You will not see everything in one playthrough anyway, so there is little reason to try to build a character that does absolutely everything.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Blood of Dawnwalker throws a lot of systems at you without always explaining how they work, and the game&#8217;s time limit makes some mistakes much more expensive than they initially seem. The good news is that once you understand how to manage your time, Blood Meter, equipment, and traversal, the whole experience becomes considerably easier to navigate.</p>

Just started Blood of Dawnwalker? Here are some early-game tips to help you manage your limited time, explore the map, upgrade your character, and

Things I Wish I Knew Before Playing The Blood of Dawnwalker


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">GTA 6 is changing a lot of things when you compare it to the previous games, and combat is not immune to that. Rockstar is making some significant changes to it, moving away from the heavy &#8220;lock-on&#8221; approach of previous games in favor of more deliberate free-aim gunplay. They are also giving us more control over how the characters move and carry weapons.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In a <a href="https://youtu.be/j0-T6os4Gn8?si=TKEBIYVc8n6nTUHv&amp;t=62" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">video from a few days ago</a>, TGG explained that Rockstar&#8217;s Rob Nelson said the default aiming experience is designed to have &#8220;a little bit of stickiness&#8221; but leaning much more toward free aim. You will be able to adjust the aiming behavior through the settings, meaning that you have more control over how much assistance you want. So this means that the traditional automatic lock-on is also off by default, and enemies no longer constantly appear on the minimap. You will have to really spot enemies and manage how you approach a situation instead of just trying to eliminate targets marked on the minimap.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Focus Makes Shootouts More Manageable</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="569" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gta-6-car-chase-1024x569.webp" alt="GTA 6 Jason Police Car Chase" class="wp-image-17591" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gta-6-car-chase-1024x569.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gta-6-car-chase-300x167.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gta-6-car-chase-768x427.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gta-6-car-chase.webp 1440w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">GTA 6 also introduces Focus, a Dead Eye-style ability that slows down time and gives you more control during intense fights. Combined with the more manual aiming system, it gives you a way to carefully line up shots without relying on the old lock-on system. The game also introduces three different hit markers:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>White:</strong> a normal hit</li>



<li><strong>Yellow:</strong> the enemy has been incapacitated</li>



<li><strong>Red:</strong> the enemy has been killed</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Weapons themselves also have more details. Guns have more recoil and &#8220;kick,&#8221; meaning you may need to tap-fire weapons such as assault rifles rather than simply holding down the trigger. Pistols have also been changed, allowing their firing speed to follow the player&#8217;s trigger pulls instead of GTA 5&#8217;s previous fire-rate limitation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cover returns as well, along with crouching, shoulder switching, and the ability to strafe when you are crouching. Rockstar is also giving us more control over movement speed, with options for normal walking, faster jogging, and other movement settings.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">You Cannot Carry an Entire Arsenal Anymore</h2>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">GTA 6&#8217;s new weapon loadout system also takes a much more grounded approach to carrying guns. You can carry two concealed handguns and two long guns, and you have dedicated slots for melee weapons, gadgets, and throwable weapons. Long guns are physically visible on the character, and carrying one in your hands can attract attention from NPCs and police.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Additional weapons need to be stored in a vehicle, so basically it is your personal car that carries your complete selected loadout.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rockstar says this change is linked directly to the more sophisticated behavior of GTA 6&#8217;s NPCs. In GTA 5, pulling a shotgun out of nowhere in front of civilians did not necessarily produce a believable reaction. In GTA 6, how many guns you are carrying and how you are carrying them can affect how people respond. That also means walking around with a rifle in your hands can escalate a situation much faster than simply having one slung across your back.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Jason and Lucia Fight Differently</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/gta-lucia-fighting-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-17803" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/gta-lucia-fighting-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/gta-lucia-fighting-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/gta-lucia-fighting-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/gta-lucia-fighting-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/gta-lucia-fighting.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jason and Lucia also have their own combat styles and individual stats. Lucia specializes in kickboxing and mixed martial arts, and Jason is more focused on street fighting. During shootouts, the two can work together through the game&#8217;s character-switching system, allowing you to switch between them and coordinate attacks during combat. So it seems like you can swap between both during a fight? Although this would have to be confirmed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hand-to-hand combat has also been expanded with blocking and timed parrying, and you can even participate in a wrestling side activity in the open world.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So we have a new aiming system, heavier weapons, physical loadouts, expanded melee mechanics, and more flexible movement options. GTA 6 definitely appears to be taking a different approach to combat than GTA 5. Just getting more weapons and firepower is not going to be enough. Rockstar wants you to think more about how you approach a fight, what you are carrying, and how you move through situations.</p>

GTA 6 is overhauling combat and movement with free aim, heavier weapons, visible loadouts, Focus, melee parries, crouching, and more.


GTA 6 Is Making Combat More Free-Aim and Less “Lock-On” Heavy


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since the extended preview launched on <a href="https://all.gg/news/gta-6-extended-look-netflix/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Netflix and YouTube</a>, we keep getting <a href="https://all.gg/news/creators-revealed-some-wild-new-details-about-gta-6/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">more and more information</a> about GTA 6. The official Discord account for GTA keeps sharing all the reliable sources, interviews, and more, so it is easy to gather all the information about a specific topic, and this includes the map and environment of the game. The latest previews have revealed more and more about Rockstar&#8217;s open world, and it is becoming clear this is not just a bigger version of Los Santos. Rockstar is putting considerably more effort into making the world itself worth exploring.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We have the official confirmation that Vice City is roughly twice the size of Los Santos. We also know that Vice City and its surrounding areas together are around 11 times the size of the corresponding areas around Los Santos. Another preview also puts the overall map at roughly three times the size of Red Dead Redemption 2&#8217;s map.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Size is not the only thing that matters, however. Rockstar has also confirmed that there are hundreds of enterable buildings across the world. When asked about claims of around 700 interiors, Rockstar&#8217;s Rob Nelson said he did not know about that specific number, but confirmed there are &#8220;hundreds.&#8221;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A World Designed for Exploration</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/gta-vice-city-night-1024x576.webp" alt="GTA 6 Vice City at Night" class="wp-image-17799" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/gta-vice-city-night-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/gta-vice-city-night-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/gta-vice-city-night-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/gta-vice-city-night-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/gta-vice-city-night.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">GTA 6 is also making it easier to discover places that would previously have been easy to overlook.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A new Focus Mode can highlight accessible doors and other points of interest, helping you identify buildings with fully modeled interiors. Rockstar is also giving you more control over the HUD, including the ability to disable the minimap entirely and use a compass instead.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are also dedicated map markers for things such as missions, safehouses, bars, mod shops, and gyms, and custom waypoints use a different color from mission objectives.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The world itself is full of activities beyond the usual GTA stuff like stealing cars and robberies. You can explore some areas through activities such as diving, jet skiing, and kayaking, with marine life including dolphins and stingrays appearing around the waterways. A basketball minigame is also available, and a zoo even gives you another reason to explore the world and study its animals.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rockstar is also keeping the weather system relatively mysterious, but the studio has confirmed that GTA 6 will feature a wide variety of weather.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">NPCs Are More Than Just People You Can Drive Over</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gta-6-grandma-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-17443" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gta-6-grandma-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gta-6-grandma-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gta-6-grandma-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gta-6-grandma-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gta-6-grandma.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The NPCs are another big part of the world&#8217;s increased level of detail. Rockstar said that NPC appearances are not simply being randomly generated by an AI or copied and pasted. According to Rob Nelson, the characters are hand-crafted, with artists specifically working on their hairstyles, clothing, and overall appearance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">NPCs can also react to what happens around them. Their reactions can change depending on what Jason or Lucia are wearing, and certain outfits can even provoke NPCs into starting a fight.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The world can also seamlessly blend exploration and scripted moments. Rockstar has continued the approach used in Red Dead Redemption 2, where sequences that might traditionally have been cutscenes can instead happen while the player retains some control over the camera and character. Nelson explained that Rockstar has been pushing this interconnectedness since Red Dead Redemption 2 because keeping players partially in control helps them feel more connected to what is happening. That philosophy appears to extend to GTA 6&#8217;s everyday interactions as well. You can directly approach NPCs and choose different dialogue options, and random events can unfold around you, even if you do not activate a traditional mission marker.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Even the Environment Has More to Do</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gta6-fire-1024x576.webp" alt="GTA 6 Jason and Lucia in front of Burning building or car" class="wp-image-17667" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gta6-fire-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gta6-fire-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gta6-fire-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gta6-fire-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/gta6-fire.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One example comes from a robbery at a hot dog shop, where the environment contains a ton of interactive details that players can engage with. One particularly unnecessary, but wonderfully Rockstar, detail allows you to physically flip through collectible newspapers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You also have streamer NPCs that can interact with you when they are livestreaming to their audience, with people and events continuing to unfold in the background. These little moments help make the world feel like it is continuing to exist even if you are not currently following a mission. And that seems to be the big goal with GTA 6&#8217;s map.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rockstar is not giving you a basic area to drive across. They filled that space with enterable buildings, activities, wildlife, reactive NPCs, environmental interactions, and smaller details designed to reward players who stop and look around. After GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2, the expectation was always that Rockstar would build a bigger world. GTA 6 appears to be going one step further by trying to make that extra space substantially more interesting to explore.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rust is back with its major monthly update; this time it&#8217;s themed around defending and breaching, giving players more ways to defend themselves or break into places.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Breach &amp; Clear</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Breach and Clear update for Rust is adding a lot, so let&#8217;s get through all of the major additions that are arriving with this patch.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Monument Blockers</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Rust-Monument-Blockers-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-17791" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Rust-Monument-Blockers-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Rust-Monument-Blockers-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Rust-Monument-Blockers-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Rust-Monument-Blockers-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Rust-Monument-Blockers.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Monument blockers are a brand-new obstacle the developers are adding to monuments with red keycard rooms. They are meant to slow down early access to the loot these monuments contain. Each blocker requires a significant amount of damage to destroy, but once they are blown up, they won&#8217;t respawn. There are also a handful of weaker blockades that can be destroyed with melee weapons.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Overall, these are meant to slow down the progress players make on wipe day, but if these structures are still standing after 24 hours, they will start to decay.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Upkeep Group Scaling</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tool Cupboards will now apply an additional upkeep tax based on the number of players that are in a base. You can expect some of the scaling to look like:</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Any players directly authed on the TC</li>



<li>Any players that have been deauthed from the TC in the last 24 hours</li>



<li>Any players that are authed on a code lock in the base (including guest code access)</li>



<li>Any players that were deauthed from a code lock in the last 24 hours</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The upkeep rates are tiered based on the number of players:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>First 4 players incur no tax</li>



<li>Next 6 players incur 2% tax per player</li>



<li>Subsequent players incur 4% tax per player<br>This means a TC with 6 players authed will have +4% upkeep, a TC with 12 players will have +20% upkeep. There is a maximum tax amount of 300%. You can see the current tax rate being applied by hovering over the upkeep cost while the TC is open.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Drone Marketplace &amp; HQM Nodes</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Rust-Drone-Marketplace-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-17790" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Rust-Drone-Marketplace-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Rust-Drone-Marketplace-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Rust-Drone-Marketplace-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Rust-Drone-Marketplace-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Rust-Drone-Marketplace.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This update also introduces high-quality metal ore nodes and collectibles across the island. Additionally, the Drone marketplace is now connected to the Power Plant system <a href="https://all.gg/news/rust-power-trip-update-overhauls-monuments-power/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/rust-power-trip-update-overhauls-monuments-power/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">from last month&#8217;s update</a>. This requires the server to keep the Power Plant up and running in order to operate drone deliveries.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Additional Highlights</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This update also includes a bunch of smaller changes, so let&#8217;s breeze through the rest.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">

Rust’s Breach &amp; Clear update brings new ways to defend bases, breach monuments, manage upkeep, and gather valuable resources.


Rust Breach & Clear Update Is Here


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Recently, Bodycam, the hyper-realistic tactical multiplayer game, has seen its biggest player count spike in the game&#8217;s history. Thanks to the recent Locked and Loaded update, thousands of new and returning players are jumping back in, with some of the gameplay moments proving to be particularly jarring.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bodycam On</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Just in case you haven&#8217;t heard of Bodycam, it&#8217;s a seriously realistic first-person tactical multiplayer game where you are constantly thrown into very real, <a href="https://all.gg/news/wardogs-playtest-hits-219k-players-on-day-2/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/wardogs-playtest-hits-219k-players-on-day-2/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">nerve-racking close-quarters encounters</a>. Every footstep, gunshot, or raid drop sounds unbelievably real. Combat is just as realistic, where every angle, callout, or bullet could mean the difference between life and death.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because of the recent Locked and Loaded update, which adds a whole bunch of new stuff, such as:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>400 attachments</strong> available across all weapons and categories.</li>



<li>A new loadout system with a full <strong>weapon customization</strong> flow.</li>



<li>New Weapons &amp; Weapon Reworks</li>



<li>New Magnified Optics &amp; Scope Rework</li>



<li>Weapon Feel, Handling &amp; Animation Overhaul</li>



<li>Maps, Lighting &amp; Environment Polish</li>



<li>Drones &amp; RC Cars</li>



<li>Knife System</li>



<li>Grenades</li>



<li>Major Audio Overhaul</li>



<li>VOIP</li>



<li>And much more.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Overall, the Locked and Loaded update brought a mountain of changes. Naturally, this resulted in thousands of players flooding the server. So much so that it broke Bodycam&#8217;s peak player count record. The new record as of two days ago is <strong>32,855</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Plus, if you want to jump in, Bodycam is <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/2406770/Bodycam/" data-type="link" data-id="https://store.steampowered.com/app/2406770/Bodycam/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">currently 20% off</a> until September 10th.</p>

Bodycam has broken its all-time player record following the massive Locked and Loaded update, reaching over 32,000 players.


Bodycam Breaks Player Record After Major Update


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Day 2 of the WARDOGS Playtest is here, and just as we expected, the servers are exploding with new players as more and more invites roll out. With the weekend now underway, even more players are jumping in and putting the servers to the test.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">WARDOGS Playtest Day 2</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The second day of the final WARDOGS Playtest is now upon us. The <a href="https://all.gg/news/wardogs-launches-100k-clip-contest/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/wardogs-launches-100k-clip-contest/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">developers clearly want fans to push the servers</a> to their limits, so they have continued rolling out more and more free invites to players.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On top of that, the start of the weekend has caused the <a href="https://all.gg/news/wardogs-hits-162k-players-on-day-one/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/wardogs-hits-162k-players-on-day-one/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">player count to surge once again</a>, with more players jumping into the playtest throughout the day.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At the time of writing, WARDOGS broke a new peak player count record just a few hours ago, reaching an impressive <strong>219,762 players</strong>. With more invites still going out, that number could climb even higher later tonight or by tomorrow.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Either way, if you haven&#8217;t got an invite to the playtest yet, you can still sign up through the game&#8217;s <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/1867240/WARDOGS/" data-type="link" data-id="https://store.steampowered.com/app/1867240/WARDOGS/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Steam page</a> or purchase a copy of WARDOGS for guaranteed access.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Blood of Dawnwalker gives Coen 30 in-game days to save his family from Brencis, but what if you simply decide that none of this is worth it and leave the Valley?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because yes, you can really just do that. After all, what is the point? Who knows what he already did to your family, and why would it be your role to be the hero of the story? Nothing is forcing you to fix this.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is why, after completing the Prologue and gaining access to the open world, you can find a way out of Vale Sangora in the Coward&#8217;s Path area. Yes, the name is most likely fitting since you are effectively taking the&#8230; coward&#8217;s path of the game. If you manage to reach the exit and choose to leave, The Blood of Dawnwalker does not stop you. Instead, it simply gives Coen an early ending and rolls the credits.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is one of the hidden endings in the game, and it is also linked to the &#8220;A Hero They Deserve&#8221; achievement.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to leave Vale Sangora</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The exit can be found west of the Coward&#8217;s Path Shrine in the Briar Sloughs. There is a broken bridge leading toward an open gate in the canyon, but reaching it requires your vampiric abilities, meaning this particular escape route is accessible at night only. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-early-ending-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-17776" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-early-ending-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-early-ending-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-early-ending-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-early-ending-1536x865.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/dawnwalker-early-ending.webp 1917w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Once you make your way through the gate, the game gives you a very simple choice:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Leave the Valley</li>



<li>Stay and fight</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Choosing to stay simply sends you back to the normal game and allows Coen&#8217;s story to continue. Choosing to leave, however, ends the story.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Coen decides that saving his family and getting involved in Vale Sangora&#8217;s conflict is not worth it. He abandons the Valley and everyone in it, triggering the early ending and unlocking &#8220;A Hero They Deserve&#8221;. The ending can also count toward the &#8220;The Blood of Dawnwalker&#8221; story-completion achievement, but it is not considered one of the game&#8217;s standard endings for achievements such as completing the campaign on Duelist difficulty.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And Rebel Wolves did not just use this as a funny &#8220;game over&#8221; screen. After the credits, you get a special post-credits scene showing Coen in the modern world, raising some rather intriguing questions about what happened to him after escaping Vale Sangora.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="The Dawnwalker Saga — A Glimpse Into The Future" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BnwS1bOPJUo?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So if you are planning to try this ending yourself, <strong>make a manual save first</strong>. Once you choose to leave, the game ends immediately, but loading your previous save lets you return to Vale Sangora and continue the normal story. So just make sure you keep a save file ready so you do not lose hours of gameplay.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Considering how much of The Blood of Dawnwalker revolves around Coen desperately trying to save his family before time runs out, having an option to essentially say &#8220;You know what? I&#8217;m out&#8221; and walk away is a pretty great little secret for players to discover.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is definitely not the only secret the game has to offer, so keep exploring the valley!</p>

The Blood of Dawnwalker has a secret early ending that lets Coen simply leave Vale Sangora, abandoning his family and ending the game.


The Blood of Dawnwalker Has a Secret Ending Where You Just Leave


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now that Final Fantasy 7 Revelation finally has a release date, Square Enix has also revealed a frankly ridiculous number of different editions for the final game in the Remake trilogy. And the price of the collector&#8217;s edition is honestly as insane as its content. In case you missed the info from yesterday, Final Fantasy 7 Revelation launches on April 8, 2027, with pre-orders already available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and the Epic Games Store. Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders are also coming, but they will follow at a later date.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is also a digital pre-order bonus for every edition. If you pre-order before April 7th, 2027, you can claim a Summoning Materia: Mecha-Chocobo &amp; Moogle for the digital version, but the physical one gets an exclusive Sylph Summoning Materia as a bonus.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And for those who get the Physical Day One Edition, you obtain a Magic: The Gathering Final Fantasy Promotional Card on top of it! This is basically if you pre-order the physical version of the game.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/ff7-magic-card-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-17769" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/ff7-magic-card-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/ff7-magic-card-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/ff7-magic-card-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/ff7-magic-card-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/ff7-magic-card.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Save Data</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For those who played the previous 2 games, I hope you did not erase your save data or change consoles in between, because if you have save data left, you get additional bonuses as well:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Final Fantasy VII Remake</strong> <strong>Integrade </strong>(Main Story)
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Summoning Materia: Chocobo &amp; Moogle</li>



<li>Final Fantasy VII Remake Weapon Skin Set</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li><strong>Final Fantasy VII Rebirth</strong>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Summoning Materia: Phoenix</li>



<li>Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Weapon Skin Set</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These bonuses will be unlocked upon completing the main game, even without save data, so basically you just get them early if you have save data left from the previous games. As I mentioned, the save data must be saved on the console or the PC where the game will be played. If you played on PlayStation before and this time on PC, it will not work. The Square Enix account must also be the same one used to play Remake and Rebirth.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Different Editions and Bonuses</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Compared to other games, this one really comes with a ton of different editions, including changes between the Physical and Deluxe versions. It can all be a little bit confusing, so here are the details:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Physical &#8211; PlayStation 5, XBOX Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2</strong>
<ul class="wp-block-list">

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">And Then There Is Japan&#8217;s $500 Edition</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yes, you read that right. If all of those editions were not enough, Square Enix is also offering something even more excessive in Japan! You can get a Final Fantasy VII Remake Series Complete Edition priced at ¥77,777, or roughly $500. The Complete Edition is aimed at collectors who want the entire Remake trilogy together. For now, its availability appears to be specific to Japan and not globally, so it is unknown if you can really order it outside of Japan.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="578" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/ff7-collector-huge-1024x578.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-17772" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/ff7-collector-huge-1024x578.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/ff7-collector-huge-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/ff7-collector-huge-768x434.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/ff7-collector-huge.webp 1080w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As you can see, this one comes with all three games, but also with full plates for the 3 games and a small polygon Cloud keychain for collectors!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Square Enix has apparently decided that one Final Fantasy VII Revelation edition simply was not enough, and we can definitely understand why! Keep in mind also that even if you just get the base game, you will be able to buy the DLCs on their own later on. So you are not missing out on anything.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New Gameplay Systems and Exploration</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the biggest additions is the dynamic character switching. This system will allow you to instantly swap between party members when you are exploring the open world. Giving how big it will probably be, this is pretty good news! It means no need to open your party screen constantly to change your party around or things like that! Certain quests will also let you pick the character that takes part, and those decisions can potentially change story events and gameplay scenarios. So if you are the type of person that always plays with the same party, you might want to switch it up depending on the situation here, because keeping always the 3 same characters might change the outcome of things!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Exploration is getting some new additions as well, including a grappling gun designed to help you reach previously inaccessible areas. This should make exploration feel much better.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Chocobos are also becoming more involved in the adventure. Your Chocobo will be able to fight alongside you and level up, giving the iconic bird a bigger role beyond simply helping you run faster across the map. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The game is also introducing four &#8220;FITS&#8221; available at launch. For those who do not know what that is, FITS are basically specific gear that gives a unique &#8220;class&#8221; to your character. Launch comes with Warrior, Knight, Black Mage, and Summoner. These provide additional ways to customize how characters fight, the abilities they have access to, etc.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Queen&#8217;s Blood Returns</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fans of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth&#8217;s surprisingly addictive card game will be happy to hear that Queen&#8217;s Blood is returning. This time, however, the minigame is getting its own story around Red XIII. Square Enix is also introducing new Queen&#8217;s Blood challenges that can change how matches will play out. So if you love this card game, know that you will have plenty of things to do with it this time!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And if that is not enough content, Final Fantasy 7 Revelation will also receive two story DLCs as part of its Story Expansion Pass. Square Enix has yet to reveal the full details of these expansions, but we do have the names:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Story DLC 1: Sephiroth</li>



<li>Story DLC 2: Vincent &amp; the Turks</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So one DLC focused on Sephiroth, and one on Vincent. This is pretty interesting because it means more details about 2 extremely popular characters! I think the Sephiroth one will most likely be about First Soldier and his early story, and the Vincent one around his time at the Turks and his own story. It is important to know that these two DLCs are included in the Collector&#8217;s Edition only, so if you are only getting the normal or Deluxe version, you will have to buy the DLCs later on.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is probably what you could call the &#8220;culmination of the trilogy&#8221; that began with Final Fantasy 7 Remake and continued with Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Now that we have the date, April 8, 2027, it is only a matter of time before we can discover how all of this ends!</p>
