Dynasty Warriors: Origins Revealed for 2025 on PlayStation 5, Xbox, and PC

It has been a couple of years now since Koei Tecmo and Omega Force have released a Dynasty Warriors game in any form, including its Empires spin-off. In fact if you go back to just the numbered games, it has been six years since Dynasty Warriors 9 was released to a less than stellar reception with the various changes made to the game and while Omega Force has been staying busy with licensed games and other titles, it looks like it’s time to put the band back together. Koei Tecmo and Omega Force have announced that they are planning on bringing Dynasty Warriors: Origins to the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC sometime next year in 2025.

For the first time ever in the series history the storyline itself will be told through the eyes of a “nameless hero.” Play through the historical tale of war as chaos erupts throughout the Three Kingdoms as players take on the signature 1 vs 1,000 action gameplay that the franchise is known for all while coordinating with allied armies and deploying tactics to survive the battlefield.

New Mortal Kombat 1 Trailer Spotlights First Gameplay of The Boys’ Homelander; Upcoming Guest Fighter Arrives June 4 as Part of the Kombat Pack

Warner Bros. Games and NetherRealm Studios have released a new Mortal Kombat 1 trailer revealing the first gameplay for upcoming downloadable content (DLC) guest fighter Homelander. As featured in The Boys series on Amazon Prime Video, Homelander will join the Mortal Kombat 1 roster on June 4 as part of the early access period for Kombat Pack owners, followed by wide availability on June 11

Homelander is the most powerful being on the planet and the leader of The Seven, the elite superhero team owned and managed by Vought International. In a world where “Supes” are made, he’s the strongest of them all. Homelander presents himself as the ultimate patriot and protector, but don’t let his movie star good looks or high approval rating fool you. He is a murderous, narcissistic sociopath with an insatiable need for validation, love, and power. Homelander’s destruction of enemies and lust for power does not end with his world. Challengers from other realms will also face his wrath. As seen in the new video, Homelander asserts dominance over opponents through his super strength, aerial attacks, and capacity to laser enemies with his eyes.   

The trailer also provides a first look at gameplay for Ferra, a new DLC Kameo Fighter who can assist during matches with a range of support moves. Ferra will be available as part of the Kombat Pack and for standalone purchase in June 2024.

Tales of an achievement hunter: FFXIV’s Rarest Mounts and where to find them

Final Fantasy XIV offers a plethora of opportunities for achievement hunters and collectors. A popular activity among FFXIV’s dedicated player base is collecting the 270+ mounts available by completing achievements and other tasks. Some mounts have proven lucrative, with only a handful of players currently in possession of them.

Below is a list of the rarest mounts in FFXIV, and how your readers can obtain them.

  • Victor – Obtained via the achievement “Endgame Hunter”.

      Possibly the rarest mount in all of FFXIV, Victor is a mount worth hunting for! Players must defeat 2,000 A-rank Hunt Marks, and 1,000 S-rank Hunt Marks in Endwalker regions to complete this achievement and receive the Victor mount. Hunts are notorious monsters that appear throughout zones. Some S-rank Hunt Marks only appear once every 72 hours or have specific conditions that must be met before they will appear, so hunters have to be diligent in their searches. 

      • Triceratops – Obtained via the achievement “Nuts for Nutsy”.

      Similar to Victor, players must defeat 2,000 A-rank Hunt Marks, and 1,000 S-rank Hunt Marks in Shadowbringers regions to complete this achievement and receive the Triceratops mount. As this mount has been in the game longer than Victor, it is slightly less rare despite the requirements being similar. These mounts are for dedicated hunters to show off their prowess and dedication to defeating FFXIV’s most notorious enemies!

      • Pteranodon – Obtained via the achievement “Castle in the Sky”.

      Players must earn 500,000 points toward their skyward score for every Disciple of Land and Hand in the Ishgard Restoration crafting and gathering content to complete the achievement and earn the Pteranodon mount. To earn points, players must craft or gather specific items and turn them into an NPC in Ishgard.

      Master crafters and gatherers will keep themselves occupied for a while completing this achievement as estimates suggest it could take upwards of a week of real-time to complete the requirements. Riding the Pteranodon is a privilege reserved for only the most skilled crafters and gatherers!

      • Astrope – Obtained via the achievement “I hope Mentor Will Notice Me VI”.

      Riding the Astrope is a celebration of Mentors who are willing to help new players explore the realm of Eorzea.

      Players must complete 2,000 Duty Roulette: Mentor activities to complete the achievement and receive the Astrope mount. Duty Roulette: Mentor is unlocked once you have completed all dungeons, and most trials and raids, and you have unlocked the Mentor status. To unlock the Mentor status, players must have completed the Main Story Questline; completed 1,000 instanced duties; and received 1,500 player commendations which are granted by other players after completing a dungeon or trial.

      Duty Roulette: Mentor matches mentors with new players completing dungeons or trials for the first time, or, fills queues that are struggling to find the required amount of players. So you can help out new players and get a cool mount too!

      • Wivre – Obtained via Edelina, a vendor in Mor Dhona for 500 Bicolour Gemstone Vouchers.

      For players who love to explore vast areas and complete active time events, the Wivre is the ultimate goal! Players must exchange 500 Bicolour Gemstone Vouchers with Edelina in Mor Dhona to receive the Wivre mount. 

      To start collecting Bicolour Gemstone Vouchers, players must first reach maximum Shared Fate reputation in all Endwalker zones by completing FATE’s, which are active time quests that sporadically activate. This unlocks vendors in Old Sharlayan and Radz-at-Han that will exchange 100 Bicolour Gemstones for 1 Bicolour Gemstone Voucher. Players will receive 14 Bicolour Gemstones when they complete a FATE.

      Alternatively, players can purchase Bicolour Gemstone Vouchers from other players. But due to the time investment to collect them, players can expect to pay a large fee in exchange!

      • Centurio Tiger – Obtained via the achievement “You Got Game”.

      The Centurio Tiger is the original hunt mark-related mount added with the Stormblood expansion and is coveted among the hunting community. Similar to the Victor and Triceratops mounts, to receive the Centurio Tiger players must defeat 3,000 A-rank hunt marks and 2,000 S-rank hunt marks. This mount is considered slightly less rare compared to the Triceratops and Victor as there are no region requirements on where the A and S-rank hunts are defeated, making it more accessible. 

      • Magitek Avenger G1 – Obtained via Edelina, a vendor in Mor Dhona for 50 million Gil.

      For players who like to show off their riches, look no further than the Magitek Avenger G1 mount! Players must exchange 50 million Gil with Edlina in Mor Dhona to receive the Magitek Avenger G1. This mount, along with a few others, are rare among the player base due to the eye-watering amount of Gil that must be handed over. Gil is collected in many ways such as selling items on the market board, completing treasure hunts, and various other activities. 

      • Pinky – Obtained via Nesvaaz, a vendor in Radz-at-Han for 3 Exciting Tonics.

      Delving into unknown portals in space comes with its risks, but it’s worth it for the chance to ride a giant pink elephant! Players must exchange 3 Exciting Tonics with Nesvaaz in Radz-at-Han to receive the Pinky mount. To collect Exciting Tonics, players must complete Treasure Hunts in Mare Lamentorum, which has a chance to let the party enter the Excitatron 6000 through a portal. Inside the Excitatron 6000, players must defeat enemies for a chance to open one of two doors. One will allow the team to proceed, the other will expel the party from the dungeon. Exciting Tonics drop from the treasure chests inside Excitatron 6000 at a random chance, with a higher chance to drop the further a party progresses in the dungeon. Just don’t let your other party members claim them first!

      • Apocryphal Bahamut – Obtained via completing the quest “Wings of Hope”.

      After fighting world-ending bosses and aether-sucking Voidsent, sit back on a couch carried by a legendary dragon! Players must complete the quest ‘Wings of Hope’, acquired from the NPC “Singingway” found in Old Sharlayan, to receive the Apocryphal Bahamut mount. To unlock this quest, players must acquire the seven Lynx mounts that drop from each of the Extreme Trials added throughout the Endwalker expansion. The Lynx mounts have a low chance to drop from the trials, and when it drops, players have to win the loot roll against the other 7 players they defeated the trial with. Players can also exchange 99 totems to receive the Lynx mount connected to a particular trial. Players will receive 2 totems each time they defeat the trial.

      DISNEY LORCANA TRADING CARD GAME NOW AVAILABLE IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND

      After a Successful Launch Internationally, Disney Lorcana TCG set The First Chapter Now Available at Australian and New Zealand Retail

The game also features more than 200 original pieces of Disney art that collectors and Disney fans will adore.

      In Disney Lorcana TCG, players embark on a search for lost lore with their teams of glimmers. They’ll play characters, actions, and items from their hand and choose whether to “quest” for lore with their glimmers or challenge their opponents. The first player to collect 20 lore wins.

      Disney Lorcana TCG products will be available for purchase at Australian and New Zealand retail stores including EB Games, Kmart, and other local toy and hobby stores.

      “Disney has a longstanding relationship with Ravensburger built on collaboration and innovation, and the introduction of Disney Lorcana TCG takes that to another level,” said Rob Michaelis, VP Licensing, Hardlines, Disney and Pixar. “We’ve worked closely with them on Disney Lorcana TCG creative development for the past three years, jointly developing a global rollout strategy that ensures a slow build and sustainment. We’ve never been so excited about the introduction of a game, especially one that caters to both new and existing Disney fans.”

      “For the last year, players have propelled us forward with their enthusiasm. Now that the Disney Lorcana TCG is on shelves, the response from people around the world has been electrifying, blowing away even our wildest predictions for game sales,” said Filip Francke, Global Head of Games at Ravensburger. “We are grateful for Disney’s trust in Ravensburger and their collaboration and support in making this the best game possible. We hope that everyone – Disney fans, TCG players and newcomers alike – feels the love, fun and magic we put into every facet of the game experience.”

      New Monster Hunter Wilds Trailer Explores the Living World, Story, Game Systems, and More!

      London (May 31, 2024) Capcom explored the living world of Monster Hunter Wilds™ at PlayStation’s State of Play broadcast with the first in-depth look at the highly anticipated action RPG. The trailer traversed an untamed landscape teeming with new monsters adapted to the everchanging conditions of their rugged habitat. The vibrant new gameplay footage also revealed the first glimpse of the story, characters, systems, and more.

      Capcom also revealed special bonus items that players returning from Monster Hunter: World™ can obtain when Monster Hunter Wilds arrives in 2025 for PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.

      Watch the Monster Hunter Wilds trailer on YouTube.

      In Monster Hunter Wilds, players join the ranks of a special Research Commission team investigating the Forbidden Lands. Fully voiced for the first time in the Monster Hunter™ series, the hunter ventures into the unknown with their companions, including Guild-appointed handler Alma, their Palico partner, and a mysterious child. Monster Hunter Wilds features multi-dimensional biomes that can transform in unexpected ways. The first locale to be unveiled is the Windward Plains, a vast region encompassing harsh deserts, twisted rock formations, and swaying grasslands abound with life.

      These immersive ecosystems are populated with wildlife acclimated to their surroundings, including smaller monsters like Dalthydon, an herbivorous wyvern that migrates seasonally, and Ceratonoth, who rely on males to shield the herd from raging storms with well-developed dorsal horns that serve as lightning rods. Of course, large monsters also roam the Windward Plains, including Doshaguma. While massive and territorial, these fanged beasts are curiously sometimes sighted stalking the plains in aggressive packs. Meanwhile, the formidable amphibian Chatacabra uses its surroundings and adhesive saliva to become an even stronger adversary by armoring its body with natural materials like ore.

      To help hunters meet the challenges that await in Monster Hunter Wilds, the beloved gameplay of the series has evolved with an arsenal of new features. Players will experience a seamless flow from story sequences to gameplay without interruption. To traverse this world’s sprawling environments, the game introduces Seikrets, a new type of mount. These nimble creatures can guide their riders to destinations and allow hunters to perform actions on the go, such as sharpening weapons, gathering materials, and wielding the slinger. Hunters can also swap to a secondary weapon with their Seikret, empowering hunting parties to adapt to the changing conditions out in the field without returning to base.

      All 14 of the series’ iconic weapon types return in Monster Hunter Wilds and have now evolved to include new actions. Additionally, the game introduces brand-new systems, such as Focus Mode, giving hunters more precise control over aiming, guarding, and attacking monsters’ weak points. The new Hook Slinger also offers hunters additional abilities, including contextual actions and the power to collect items from a distance – even when mounted atop their Seikret.

      Monster Hunter Wilds players who link their Monster Hunter: World save data can receive special bonus items. This includes the Felyne Leather Set (Palico Armor) and Felyne Acorn Spade (Palico Weapon) for linking Monster Hunter: World base game save data, and Felyne Duffel Set (Palico Armor) and Felyne Trekker Peckaxe (Palico Weapon) for linking save data from the title’s massive expansion Monster Hunter World: Iceborne™. Please see the official website for more details.

      The Monster Hunter series is now celebrating its 20th anniversary. Since 2004, the beloved co-op action RPGs have sold over 100 million units worldwide.
