FFXIV Fan Festival 2026 US Goody Bag Merchandise Shared Every year when Square Enix holds its FFXIV Fan Festival events, it also involves a goody bag with merchandise inspired by the MMORPG, and the 2026 US installment’s contents are revealed for everyone heading to Anaheim. This year, there’s a Scions of the Seventh Dawn theme. Attendees will get theirs at the event between April 24-25, 2026, and more will be sold via the official North American store after the con. There are four items in the goody bag this year. Both the mini messenger bag and baseball cap feature the same black Scions of the Seventh Dawn print that consists of chibi versions of the characters’ faces. Those also includes the logos for this year’s event, with it being on the strap and keychain for the bag and embroidered on the back of the hat. A sticker book is also included, and that comes with 25 stickers. People also get enamel pins of Alpha the Chocobo, the Cornservant minion, a Delivery Moogle, and a Loporrit with sunglasses. Square Enix shared official photos of all the merchandise in the FFXIV Fan Festival 2026 goody bag with us: Images via Square Enix The yearly FFXIV Fan Festival event always tends to include a bag with the goody bag, along with a number of accessories. Sometimes, they get especially goofy. For example, the 2023 entry involved a squishable stress ball that looked exactly like the grapes did when the FFXIV Endwalker expansion appeared. Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the North American FFXIV Fan Festival will take place in Anaheim, California between April 24-25, 2026.

NieR: Automata 2B Virtuous Contract Sword Replica Heads to US Following a Japanese release in November 2025 , Hibino and Square confirmed the 1:1 replica of the 2B Virtuous Contract sword from NieR: Automata will appear in the US. Pre-orders are live now. The first round will ship around April 15, 2026, and the second will start arriving around May 13, 2026. The sword will be available alone or in a set with accessories.

Amazon Luna Purchased Games Will Be Unplayable After June 2026 Amazon issued a statement on the future of its Luna game service, and as part of that it noted that it will discontinue individual game purchases and third-party subscriptions, which means any titles people own will be inaccessible after June 10, 2026. As part of this move, the Bring Your Own Library function and Jackbox Games and Ubisoft+ subscriptions will no longer be supported. Amazon also said there will be no refunds, though it will dole out Luna Premium subscriptions to those who qualify. As part of this change, Luna Standard and Luna Premium will be the only options available. Amazon explained this decision is due to the company prioritizing Prime members and subscription owners. While the store is now closed and third-party support is gone, some of those elements can be used until June 10, 2026. The Jackbox Games subscription and Ubisoft+ will be available until that date, and if you subscribed through Amazon those will automatically cancel. A-la-carte games bought through EA, GOG, and Ubisoft will still be available direct through them if you log into your account. Bring Your Own Library support ends that day too. All game save data will be available until September 8, 2026 via the settings section . As for the remaining subscriptions, there are two options. Luna Standard is the one included with Prime. That features a smaller collection of possible games to play. If someone pays $9.99 per month, they gain access to Luna Premium and its larger streaming game library. Amazon didn’t note how long the complementary Luna Premium subscription being given out to affected current game owners will last. It did note people who qualify will get an email around June 10, 2026. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a company conduct such a major shutdown of this sort of service. Google did that with Stadia . However, it did refund purchases and release an update for its dedicated controllers that would allow them to be used after the service ended. Amazon Luna a-la-carte game purchases are now over, and owned games, Bring Your Own Library support, Jackbox Games subscription, and Ubisoft+ will only be available until June 10, 2026.
