School Days Remaster Announced On July 4, 2025, JastUSA posted that it will release the English and Chinese versions of a School Days Remaster for Windows PC. Overflow, the original studio behind School Days , is still handling the game’s Japanese release . The announcement on JastUSA’s X (formerly Twitter) account shows an in-development picture of Sekai and Kotonoha, the two main heroines of School Days . The artwork is still a rough draft, but it’s likely to be the cover art of the finished game. According to the text on the teaser image, the game will come out in 2025, and it'll be optimized for any high-end graphics driver so you can enjoy the game as it was no matter your PC. School Days is an infamous eroge visual novel that came out in 2005. It spawned several adaptations, such as an anime version and a manga serialization. The plot follows Makoto Ito, a high school student who falls in love with his classmate, Kotonoha. Sekai, also a classmate of theirs, helps the two get together, but she becomes jealous after she starts developing feelings for Makoto herself. Despite its age, School Days still has a following, likely for its depressing and gory story. Aspects of School Days have achieved meme status, even among people who have never watched the show or played the game before. It’s also been a yearly tradition for Abema to stream the show every Christmas for peak romance and festivity. A School Days Remaster is in development for the Windows PC (Windows 11), and it'll come out some time in 2025. The post School Days Remaster Announced appeared first on Siliconera .

Umamusume Pretty Derby Pity System, Explained Now a worldwide phenomenon, the global version of Umamusume Pretty Derby hit the ground running by allowing players to join their favorite racers as they fight to fulfill their dreams. But although easy to dive into, the game's unusual pity system might make you waste precious resources if you're not careful. To help you avoid that and make sure you will have enough for either your favorite or an upcoming meta pick, here's everything you need to know about the Umamusume Pretty Derby Pity System. Table of contents Umamusume Pretty Derby Pity System, Explained All banner rates in Umamusume Pretty Derby Umamusume Pretty Derby Pity System, Explained Unlike most mainstream gacha games, like Genshin Impact and Wuthering Waves , Umamusume Pretty Derby does not have a rate-based pity system, which means that you won't find 50/50s or guaranteed pulls here. Instead, each pull on a designated Spotlight banner will reward you with 1x Exchange Point. Upon reaching 200, you can then exchange them for the banner's Spotlight Featured Umamusume or SSR Card, both of which also have a 0.75% chance of being acquired per pull. Image by Destructoid Be careful, though, as pulls are not shared between banners, and all Exchange Points acquired during a run are converted to Clovers at the end, which can be exchanged for items such as Umamusume and Card Scout Tickets at the Clover Shop. Speaking of banners, they also seem to be extremely short, with lifespans of around seven days. So make sure to save your Carats, as you will need to expend a total of 30K to get the points needed to claim a featured 3-Star or SSR Card. All banner rates in Umamusume Pretty Derby Except for the 10-pull only Head Start Scout banners—which reward you with a guaranteed 3-star Umamusume and a SSR Support Card, respectively—all of the Spotlight banners in Umamusume Pretty Derby share similar individual rates. In both of them, each 10-pull will also reward you with a guaranteed 2-star/SR or above find. Here are the individual rates for all Spotlight banners: Spotlight Pretty Derby Scout (Featured Umamusume Banner) Featured 3-star: 0.75% per pull Any 3-star (including previously released limited ones): 3% per pull Any 2-star: 18% (97% per tenth pull) Any 1-star: 79% Spotlight Support Card Scout (Featured Support Card Banner) Featured SSR: 0.75% per pull Featured SR: 2.5% (12% per tenth pull) Featured R: 2.5% Any SSR: 3% Any SR: 18% (97% per tenth pull) Any R: 79% Now that you know how to get your oshi, we also highly recommend that you check out the latest Umamusume codes for a chance of getting some free Carats.

Honkai: Star Rail Video Teases Fate Collab Details HoYoVerse shared a live-action video for the Honkai: Star Rail collab with the Fate series, and it helps explain the concept of the Holy Grail War while also joking about how the company prepared and presented “ideas” for it. A part of that involved mentioning members of Type-Moon, such as Kinoko Nasu and Takashi Takeuchi, took part in the Fate/stay Night [Unlimited Blade Works] creation. This is interspersed with teases of event scenes showing Archer, Lancer, and Saber. The more serious elements of the video started at about the 5:20 minute mark. That’s when we saw an event scene of Saber attacking Lancer, then Saber and Archer fighting. Images of the Archer and Saber Light Cones came up too. Around the 5:40 mark, Takashi Takeuchi’s contributions came up. He was called upon for the key art for the Honkai: Star Rail Fate collab, as well as to create the art for Archer and Saber for “the most faithful, most iconic character designs.” HoYoVerse also noted, “And to top it all off, we consulted [Kinoko Nasu] himself for his personal feedback.” Here’s the full “ Honkai: Star Rail Kicks Off a Holy Grail War” video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu3iYJAarUc As a reminder, we will need to pay for Saber in Honkai: Star Rail . Archer will also be available on a paid banner, but we all also get him for free when the event starts. Both will be five-star units . Honkai: Star Rail is available for the PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and the Fate collab starts on July 11, 2025, then ends just before the launch of 3.7.

Final Fantasy IX 25th Anniversary Fan Art Project, Video Shared Square Enix released Final Fantasy IX in Japan on July 7, 2000, and it shared a special movie video and kicked off a 25th Anniversary official Fan Art Project to celebrate. This follows up on other promotions to honor this Final Fantasy title, like Zoff glasses and Adorable Arts figures . The art collection takes place between July 7, 2025 and October 31, 2025, and is divided by region. As an example, folks in North America, Europe, Oceania, South America, Africa, and some regions and Asia submit to one site and people in Japan turn in designs to another one . First, here’s the Final Fantasy IX 25th Anniversary Special Movie. This video features major moments from this installment. As it does, the theme song “Melodies of Life” plays.

It is a collection of works for display. If someone submits digital or pictures of non-digital art, it could be highlighted on the official site, during events, and on social media. People can submit on the site for their region. The notice did state “Please note that the presentation of the fan art, including any resizing, partial display, cropping, printing, modifications, or whether or not the nickname is displayed, will be determined at the discretion of SQUARE ENIX Co., Ltd. Please submit your application only if you agree to these terms.” Submitted a work doesn’t guarantee Square Enix will use it, but if the company does the artist is granting a license to use it for promotional purposes for free. Final Fantasy IX can be found on the PlayStation, PS4, Switch, Xbox One, PC, and mobile devices. The 25th Anniversary Fan Art Project works can be submitted until October 31, 2025.
