Moonstone Island Gets Character Customization for Avatars Studio Supersoft added character customization to Moonstone Island , which allows someone to change how their avatar looks and find clothing as they play through the game. The update is now live, after people patch the game. This follows the implementation of evolutions for Spirits, a feature added back in June 2025 , and past updates included things like extra festivals . Prior to this patch, we couldn’t change how our avatar would look in Moonstone Island . They would have long white hair, a floppy blue hat, and a red cape over their outfit. The update adds 28 hat and hair options and 36 pieces of clothing, with some of those found as gifts or by finding chests in the world. Once we get items, we can go to the main menu and tab over to our character to change how they look. Here’s the trailer for the Moonstone Island Character Customization Update: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpAjHi1gpw0 While the customization elements are the main focus, they aren’t the only changes. It is now easier to bring up the Medallion, as it has its own button. There will be more room in our backpacks too, as the patch notes noted, “Talismans no longer take up space in the inventory.” Moonstone Island is available for the Switch, PC, and mobile devices, and the Character Customization Update patch is live now.

Honkai: Nexus Anima Nexus Bond Test Starts, Umpurrella Trailer Debuts HoYoVerse kicked off the Honkai: Nexus Anima Nexus Bond Test, the closed beta for its new game, and it also shared a new, animated trailer for the character known as Umpurrella. The release also included confirmation this test period will only run until September 23, 2025, but that it will include Supply Drops to ensure people can get a bit of a boost as they make their way through the game. In the case of the Honkai: Nexus Anima Nexus Bond Test, the two Supply Drops are tied to progress in the closed beta and not time. This means if you’re playing through it more quickly, you don’t need to worry about hopping in at certain times to get items. The first drop arrives in someone’s inbox after they finish a quest called "Repair the Aspect Fracture.” Five Protean Pills will be given as a gift once you reach that milestone. The second one is tied to leveling up. If you hit level 30, you get 3000 Aspect Gems currency. Since progress doesn’t carry over to the eventual full game, all of these items will only be able to used during this brief period. As for the Honkai: Nexus Anima Umpurrella trailer, it’s an animated short that highlights a young woman who keeps one of these cat-like characters as an Anima partner. While it is a creature that looks like an umbrella, with some folks even using it as one during storms, this particular one doesn’t like the rain. As a result, the young woman goes out of her way to avoid being outside when it rains and doesn’t use the Anima as one if they do end up caught in a storm. However, we soon see what Umpurrella is willing to do for her master. Here’s “Watersong: A Sea of Flowers” showing off Umpurrella in Honkai: Nexus Anima . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kg9vyT2bKfs Some of the latest Anima characters revealed included Bobabirb, Cublade, Foalhardy , and Scorscythe . Honkai: Nexus Anima is in development for the PC and mobile devices, and the Bond Test closed beta ends on September 23, 2025.

Review: Lego Voyagers Is a Pretty and Easy Game Lego Voyagers is a very specific sort of game for a certain type of audience. It’s gorgeous, with atmosphere that takes us through what feels like a post-apocalyptic type of experience as two little bricks. But at the same time, it’s far shorter than I expected it to be with very little challenge and few moments that felt like it took proper advantage of having two players work together. Add in some controls that occasionally feel fiddly, and it feels like lighter fare for perhaps an older player to enjoy with a much younger one. The story in Lego Voyagers involves only context clues and no words. Two bricks, one red and one blue, live together in matching houses on a little island. After watching a rocket launch together, they notice the vessel goes off course and crashes. The pieces that wash ashore allow the two to follow it and recover the capsule. The two journey through various environments to take off after it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1J4Zq-A6FAw Lego Voyagers is a light platforming game that feels more about taking in what we see around us than dealing with major challenges. Our little bricks can hop and roll around environments. There will be some designated places at which they can build to cross gaps or make constructs that allow them access to other areas. At which point you need to press a button to lock to the grid or attach to a piece, then move the piece to a spot you need it and release it for a build. However, it isn’t like some other Lego games in which you make actual cars or major, recognizable items. Rather, it’s about getting “battery” parts to designated spots or other blocks in position to move or perhaps getting a switch flipped at the right time. None of this is terribly challenging. Any real complication may instead come from narrowing down the timing or getting accustomed to needing to press the “lock in” B button to ensure you secure yourself when making jumps across gaps to 1x1 flowers or pieces. It feels overly complicated to control and like getting parts into place sometimes involve more steps than needed. Spoilers aside, one of the most complicated sections involved getting on a raft where each brick controlled one side of the two motors and navigating it to floating blocks with bricks we needed, then to places with three additional battery pieces for to power a later construct. Images via Light Brick Studio It almost made me feel that, for much of it, Lego Voyagers didn’t really need two people so much? One person holds a switch so the other can cross. The person who made it across then holds a similar switch on the other side so the first can make it. One flips a switch so the partner goes flying over a gap. The player who made it across then either drops a platform by weighing it down or, again, flips a switch so the two can reunite. Even for the raft section, it felt like someone could almost manage quite a bit of it on their own. Another disappointing element of it is, while Lego Voyagers almost feels like it could be freeform due to the gorgeous environments and creative spaces, it’s really very structured. There’s basically one solution to each problem and no opportunity to experiment. Places look great, but there’s no reason or encouragement to explore. Since there is no structure and no words, there can also be one or two points where you need to play around to figure out “oh, okay, to advance the story I need to do this.” Images via Light Brick Studio Which isn’t to say this isn’t charming. It’s a short adventure that is very cute and looks great. I loved how our avatar bricks “sing” to one another if you press a button, as the action to catch your ally’s attention. It’s also very cute that doing so will cause the space shuttle capsule, if it is on-screen, to echo back your same note pattern. The sound direction is great in other ways as well, such as how the bricks make different little noises as they move across certain surfaces. Lego Voyagers is a visually gorgeous game and generally pleasant, but I wish it controlled better and involved more challenging scenarios. There are some fun ideas here, and the design concepts are solid. It is absolutely cute. I’d even say it can be a relaxing way to spend an afternoon or evening. But the constant locking in while platforming, ease of difficulty, and few opportunities to really do more in the space can be discouraging. Lego Voyagers is available for the Switch, Switch 2, PS4, PS5, and PC. The post Review: Lego Voyagers Is a Pretty and Easy Game appeared first on Siliconera .

Muzan Joins Demon Slayer: Hinokami Chronicles 2 for Free Ahead of DLC Sega announced both paid and free Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles 2 DLC that also acts as a tie-in to the Infinity Castle movie, and Muzan Kibutsuji will be a part of it. The big bad of the series will be added this week on September 18, 2025. Aniplex also confirmed via the Japanese PlayStation Blog that seven characters from the film will be added to the game.

Muzan Kibutsuji is the main antagonist in Demon Slayer and, since his release is coming up so quickly, there’s a trailer highlighting his gameplay in The Hinokami Chronicles 2 . It doesn’t show a full match. Rather, there are clips of footage showing him in his three-piece suit and hat, and we get to see three of his attacks. In one, he’s used his claws to attack Tanjiro Kamado and leave red scratch marks embedded in the ground around him. In the other, he’s used his Biokinesis to transform his arm into a mass of muscle and flesh, capturing Tanjiro inside. The last move used seems to be his Black Blood Brambles attack. Here’s how that looks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S7Oh3dJAh8 The end of the video also showed the upcoming paid DLC characters based on Infinity Castle versions of characters. Seven are confirmed, though only images of Akaza, Doma, and Kaigaku appeared in the teaser image.
