Genshin Impact: Official Art Book Volume 3 English Pre-orders Open It looks like we’ll be seeing Genshin Impact: Official Art Book Volume 3 in English this year, as the Amazon pre-order page is already live. There’s no official cover art yet, but the product listing confirms this is for the localized version of the book. It will launch on October 13, 2026, and the price on the site is $35. [Thanks, Wario64 !] Since this volume already appeared overseas in January 2025, we already know what to expect. This art book only covers characters, locations, scenes, and designs from Genshin Impact patches 3.0 to 3.8. That means information and insights into the whole Sumeru region and Chapter 3: Truth Amongst the Pages of Purana Archon Quest storyline will appear, but it cuts off right before Fontaine comes up. While we do know this is now coming out worldwide, the listing doesn’t confirm if it will be completely identical to the Chinese release. That version came with bonuses like a bookmark and notepad. The length is similar, however, as the Chinese version was 205 pages, and Amazon’s listing says this will be 212 pages long. The cover also isn’t confirmed, but past English ones were identical to the versions released in China and Japan. That means it will likely feature the Archons Venti, Zhongli, Raiden Shogun, and Nahida. Both of the previous Genshin Impact art books are already available in English. The first covers Mondstadt and Liyue , showing off content from the 1.0 patches. The second focuses on Inazuma and the 2.0 version updates . The Genshin Impact: Official Art Book Volume 3 looks to be releasing in English in North America on October 13, 2026. The game is available on the PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, and mobile devices.

Lollipop Chainsaw RePop Switch 2 Now Has no Release Date Dragami Games not only delayed the Switch 2 version of Lollipop Chainsaw RePop remake, but now doesn’t have any release date for that port. The company apologized for the sudden change on social media . It was supposed to appear on the eShop on March 26, 2026. It didn’t mention if this means the Burlesque Bunny Juliet costume planned for other versions to celebrate that release will be delayed. When explaining the delay of the Switch 2 version of Lollipop Chainsaw RePop, the statement essentially noted the remake isn’t meeting expectations. It noted the additional development time will be used for “significant updates.” It didn’t mention specific issues, but did reference the Switch version and its performance problems. This is the second delay, as it originally moved from a November 2025 window to early 2026. The Switch version of the game launched with a number of issues that kept it from running smoothly. For example, there are multiple frame rate drops. Also, all licensed music was removed. Lollipop Chainsaw RePop is available on the Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the Switch 2 version is in development with no release date. The original appeared on the PS3 and Xbox 360. An anime and new game are also in development. The post Lollipop Chainsaw RePop Switch 2 Now Has no Release Date appeared first on Siliconera .

Umamusume Gets New Beyond Dreams Career Scenario Cygames announced that a new Career scenario called Beyond Dreams will appear on the Japanese server of Umamusume: Pretty Derby as part of the fifth anniversary celebration. It will focus on training your Umamusume to run in the Breeders’ Cup. It’ll go live on February 24, 2026. Given the delay between the Japanese and global release, we don't know when it will appear worldwide. The short trailer for the scenario on the Pakatube YouTube channel gives some more details about the storyline. Whereas most Career scenarios in Umamusume: Pretty Derby give you three years with your trainee, Beyond Dreams will only last two and a half years. This is similar to how the L’Arc scenario (in which your trainee runs in Umamusume version of France’s Prix de L’Arc de Triomphe) has a shorter schedule. Here's the full video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNGaWwYoOZc Like Aoharu , Beyond Dreams will have a team training alongside your trainee. Levelling both up is key to building a strong Umamusume, and you can level up your training at specific points of the career. According to reviewers who’ve already previewed the scenario, “Beyond Dreams” will focus on building SPD, with 2100 being the new cap. However, you’ll still have to balance out a trainee’s SPD with her other stats. Existing Umamusume with Scenario Links will be Loves Only You and Espoir City. The scenario will also feature new Umamusume Marche Lorraine, Red Desire, and Forever Young. The voice actresses for the yet-unplayable characters are: Forever Young: Shuri Miyumi (Most minor roles) Marche Lorraine: Tsukino Chikasada (Mostly minor roles) Red Desire: Hitomi Sekine (Mano Sakuragi in The Idolmaster Shiny Colors ) Umamusume: Pretty Derby is available on the PC and mobile devices, and the new Beyond Dreams Career scenario will come out on the Japanese server on February 24, 2026. The original anime is on Crunchyroll , and the Cinderella Gray one is on Amazon . The post Umamusume Gets New Beyond Dreams Career Scenario appeared first on Siliconera .

Super Bomberman Collection Is a Multiplayer Blast Recent shadowdrop release Super Bomberman Collection brings back some classic Bomberman games, some for the first time outside Japan, and we’re happy to see it! But if we’ve learned anything from modern retro compilations , the quality is extremely dependent on execution. So how does this one do? The package contains the five Super Bomberman games, all originally released on the Super NES and Super Famicom, as well as two bonus Famicom games. The later Super titles didn’t originally release outside Japan and have received localizations here, which is a nice touch! Frankly, though, these are fairly language-agnostic games and you probably would have been fine. Putting these five games together in one collection might feel a bit redundant! And it is, to a degree. The advantage is in two ways. The first? Historical value. The game makes it easy to look at what power-ups are added in each one, and preserving all five is good regardless. The second is that you can choose your favorite variant. Each of these changes does color the experience, and through either taste or nostalgia, you’ll likely have a favorite. Image via Konami If you’re having trouble deciding, though? We’d recommend going straight to 5 . It has almost all the things from the other games, and there are options to configure it however! And as such a late Super Famicom game that other staff at Hudson were probably already working on Mario Party during development, it really takes advantage of the hardware. If it drops the ball on anything? Maybe it’s aesthetics. It’s trying really hard to do a robot/sentai thing in a way that a lot of the selectable characters feel same-y. It’s also true that each of these games has a solo campaign. The franchise’s bread and butter is its competitive play, but there’s a dedicated group of people who really embrace the single-player arcade levels. And these are good ones! We’ve spent a while playing, and we are undeniably bad at them but there’s a puzzly element to taking on risky opponents in an optimal order. When it comes to gallery modes in retro compilations, our usual stance is that it’s a great effort of preservation! But we don’t spend a lot of time with that stuff. Super Bomberman Collection ’s “unbox” mode feels a lot more robust, though. With the detail and ability to virtually open the box and pull out the manual, it captures a bit more of the nostalgia of the originals. Image via Konami While it doesn’t have built-in functionality for this sort of thing, Super Bomberman Collection takes advantage of system-level multiplayer features like Switch 2’s GameShare and Steam’s Remote Play Together. How well does it work? Better than you’d think! We spent our time testing it out on Switch 2, and didn’t experience any of the frequent connection issues we usually get. What’s more, it’s the sort of game that can weather some minor hiccups if you get them, and it also doesn’t look too bad in the windowed GameShare screen. Super Bomberman Collection , developed by Red Art Games and published by Konami, is out now on Switch 2, Switch, PS5, Xbox Series and Steam. Physical editions of the game will launch on August 25, 2026. The post Super Bomberman Collection Is a Multiplayer Blast appeared first on Siliconera .

Hello Kitty Desktop Mate DLC Teased Infiniteloop teased the next DLC character for the application Desktop Mate on social media , and it looks like Sanrio mascot Hello Kitty is on the way. There’s no release date for the add-on yet. The image also didn’t show how she’ll look in-app when hanging out on our desktops. The image is vague. It shows a silhouette of Hello Kitty sitting against a white and grey-striped background, so there’s no screenshot from Desktop Mate used. At the top is the Sanrio trademark, helping to confirm that this is her. Across the front is the text “coming soon.” This statement appears in Japanese and English, just like all past add-on reveals, so the DLC will show up everywhere. Here’s the official teaser image. Image via Infiniteloop and Sanrio This comes after multiple Vocaloids appeared in Desktop Mate . In December 2025, Kagamine Rin and Len showed up. Those were sold separately , but have special interactions if both are owned. More versions of Hatsune Miku showed up after that. Both Snow Miku 2026 and JR Tower versions launched. The official roadmap on Steam only shows two more “coming soon” spots. Desktop Mate is available on Steam, and Hello Kitty will be the next DLC character to be added to the application.
