Daemon x Machina: Titanic Scion DLC Roadmap Shared
Daemon x Machina: Titanic Scion DLC Roadmap Shared We already knew that Daemon x Machina: Titanic Scion would get paid DLC, given the Digital Deluxe included post-launch cosmetics and an expansion pack, and now Marvelous confirmed its free update roadmap after launch . There will be new additions appearing throughout October through December 2025. New details about launch DLC, including two free hairstyles and two free emotes, also appeared alongside two trailers.  First, the Daemon x Machina: Titanic Scion update roadmap included both the free items and the paid Into the Abyss DLC expansion that is part of the more expensive editions of the game. More items start to rollout in October 2025. That starts with an additional boss fight and cosmetic on October 2, 2025. Initial teaser images showed how both looks. On October 16, 2025, there will be another free patch. That will include two new cosmetic looks, with one being a suit, and two more bosses. Sometime in November 2025, the paid expansion pack will appear. That can be purchased separately if you didn’t get a special edition. Finally, three mystery bosses will be added for free in December 2025. Here’s the roadmap image: As for the things out now, we can all grab the Fist Pump and Roar emotes and Giant Mohawk and Punk hairstyles. These are an actual additional download and not added via an automatic update or patch. In terms of paid launch DLC, there’s a $4.99 Special Equipment Set with Bahamut Arsenal Skin, Beguiling Outer Suit, and Victorious Gleam Laser Blade, a $3.99 Special SFC Weapon Set with six types of guns, and a $5.99 Arsenal Skin Set with Crusader, Grosse Feier, Rabbit 11, Muramasa, and Prototype Arsenal skins.  The trailers basically offer more information now that the game is out. One is the general launch trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4DXz3UCOyA The other covers the Sovereign Axiom Special Facilities dungeons.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_Onqn8fNoI Daemon x Machina: Titanic Scion is available for the Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, and both free updates and paid DLC will appear in the coming weeks and months.

Review: Hololive Holo’s Hanafuda Is Casual and Fun
Review: Hololive Holo’s Hanafuda Is Casual and Fun We don’t get many Hanafuda games outside Japan. When one does appear, even if its made for a niche audience, it can be a big deal. That’s the case for Hololive Holo’s Hanafuda from Gemdrops,  one of the latest holo indie titles, as it pairs up Vtubers from Cover with the card game. It’s such a solid showing, especially since it has an online multiplayer that supports cross-play with the console release and is quite well-populated, that anyone interested in the card game should consider at the very least trying out its demo. The Hololive Holo’s Hanafuda campaign (yes, there’s a story mode) follows Vtubers Nakiri Ayame, Ookami Mio, Sakura Miko, and Shirakami Fubuki as they prepare for a tournament, then get sucked into themed worlds based on the months and flower suits in the deck. It’s not an earth-shattering story, but it is quite cute and could be helpful when easing people unfamiliar with the card game into the experience. Especially since it also introduces the Holo Awase ruleset with power-ups tied to specific generations for claiming cards that show certain performers on them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Q_BRkjFwRQ It’s the actual card game that matters here, and Hololive Holo’s Hanafuda is great at providing that experience with a Vtuber coating. In addition to the campaign, you can play offline or online. The rulesets are traditional Koi-Koi, a variant of that with power-ups that include buffs and debuffs called Holo Awase, and Oicho-Kabu. (You don’t have to fire up one of the Yakuza games for rounds of that last one anymore!) Cards are very clearly presented on the table, information is laid out well, and it’s easy to check set lists or toggle help on and off.  The online multiplayer impressed me too! I played on a handheld gaming PC, and I had no trouble finding matches. When I did get into one, it was responsive with no lag. It also didn’t take too long to find fellow players, though I did make sure I played around Japanese time zones to ensure I wouldn’t be alone. Cross-play seemed competent. The only qualm is that it is a bit of a rudimentary multiplayer mode, as there’s no ranked option. Given this is part of that indie line, I suppose I understand. And, in the time I was playing, Gemdrops did end up patching it to penalize people who would ditch matches if it looked like they were losing, so at least the developers seem like they’re keeping an eye out for feedback. Images via Gemdrops Hololive Holo’s Hanafuda also looks so great. The cards all feature Hololive Vtubers, but at the same time nail the classic Hanafuda card aesthetic. It looks lovely. I’d buy physical cards with those types of prints. (You know, if Trump tariffs and the end of de minimis exemption weren’t making those kinds of those impulse purchases near impossible.) If you aren’t a Vtuber fan, you can also opt for more traditional looking cards, but I really recommend going with the themed approach since they’re so pretty.  The downside to Hololive Holo’s Hanafuda is, while enjoyable, I didn’t feel like I someone who picked it up would end up learning to play the card game well by playing it. The tutorial is comprehensive, but it doesn’t really get into learning about why you should play certain cards where or when you should try for certain groupings. Instead, it will just remind you that you’ll see automatically if cards could be played and used to claim via outlines when that option is enabled. There can also be hints about special moves. So as long as you’re placing cards as suggested in a way that let you keep building up collections you claimed, you could be fine and have a great time. But if you do already know how to play, it’s a fantastic way of getting into the card game. Ironically, I feel like a trailer for it did a better job of explaining how to play the card game. Image via Gemdrops Hololive Holo’s Hanafuda is a pleasant, casual Hanafuda experience that is great for anyone interested in the card game, not just Vtuber fans. It covers a few different rulesets. Its original Holo Awase option with power-ups adds a little extra flash. It also seemed like there’s a pretty active online multiplayer scene tied to it. And since there are different card themes, you could swap to that, largely ignore the campaign, and enjoy more typical Hanafuda experiences instead. Hololive Holo’s Hanafuda is available for the PC, PS4, PS5, and Switch .  The post Review: Hololive Holo’s Hanafuda Is Casual and Fun appeared first on Siliconera .

The Herta Honkai: Star Rail Nendoroid Comes With a Bonus Acrylic Stand
The Herta Honkai: Star Rail Nendoroid Comes With a Bonus Acrylic Stand The next Honkai: Star Rail Nendoroid is drawing closer, and this time it will be The Herta with a possible acrylic stand bonus. The extra incentive only comes if someone gets it through the Japanese or US Good Smile Company storefronts. She costs ¥7,500/$51.99. She’ll show up in March 2026 in Japan. We won’t see her worldwide until Q3 2026. However, keep in mind did temporarily suspend US shipping . Herta appears in two forms in the game. The first is the four-star variant, which is one of her doll bodies that appears on her space station from the start of the adventure. The Herta is a five-star version that debuted in 3.0. She’s an Erudition character who deals Ice damage. The Nendoroid of her comes with her key-shaped staff, which she can also be posed riding on like a broom, her witch’s hat, and extra parts to make it look like she is sitting. Her face plates show her with a blank, chibi expression, a smiling one, and one in which she is winking.  Here’s how she looks: Images via Good Smile Company and HoYoVerse As for the bonus acrylic stand, it shows official art of The Herta. It shows her potentially looking through a mirror, with her name below it. Here’s the sample photo Good Smile Company shared. Image via Good Smile Company and HoYoVerse The last Honkai: Star Rail Nendoroid to appear before The Herta is Phainon . While his pre-orders opened first, the character actually debuted in the game after her. The Honkai: Star Rail The Herta Nendoroid will appear in Japan in March 2026, with a worldwide release planned for Q3 2026. Pre-orders are open until October 15, 2025. The game is available on the PS5, PC, and mobile devices.  The post The Herta Honkai: Star Rail Nendoroid Comes With a Bonus Acrylic Stand appeared first on Siliconera .

Trachinus god rolls and how to get them in Destiny 2
Trachinus god rolls and how to get them in Destiny 2 Trachinus, Destiny 2 's new Heavy Metal shotgun, ushers in a new archetype. Its Rapid-Fire Slug Frame can be appealing enough, but with god-rolled perks, however, Trachinus' damage potential and appeal get even bigger. This shotgun is available as part of the limited-time Heavy Metal PvP event, but it's unclear what will happen to it after the clock runs out. Until then, here are our god rolls for Trachinus in both activity types in Destiny 2 . Trachinus PvE god rolls in Destiny 2 It does look good, even in its base colors. Screenshot by Destructoid Barrel: Smallbore or Fluted Barrel Mag: Appended Mag or Tactical Mag First perk: Rapid Hit, Rimestealer Second perk: Chill Clip, Headstone, or Precision Instrument Honorable mentions: Swashbuckler, Binary Orbit Two things make Trachinus particularly unique: its Stasis element and its new Rapid-Fire Slug archetype. Naturally, traits that benefit those two are easy picks for our god rolls. Rimestealer is a good pick if you're focusing on Stasis builds, but anyone can get mileage out of Rapid Hit —especially for damage-based loadouts. Lead From Gold is a solid general-use option if you'd like some more ammo, while Proximity Power can work for a melee-focused build. The fourth column is where it gets spicy. If you're looking purely for boss damage, look no further than Precision Instrument , since slug shotguns can output some hard-hitting, sustained precision damage. You can also lean on the Stasis side of Trachinus here. Bungie has had a complicated relationship with Chill Clip in special weapons, delivering those types of guns sparsely, but this shotgun shows good potential to use it if you're looking for a Stasis-based build. Likewise, you can get good mileage out of Headstone on builds that focus on the dark-blue element, especially with Rimestealer in the mix. For regular mobbing, Swashbuckler works for damage against adds that die before you can get too much benefit out of Precision Instrument, and it works particularly well with Proximity Power to top up your five stacks quickly. Binary Orbit takes little to activate, giving you some pretty good uptime on a damage bonus as well. It all depends on what you want from this weapon, but there's a little bit for everyone involved if you get your personal god roll. For parts, we focused on maximizing magazine size. Appended Mag and Tactical Mag should give you one extra round at base, giving you one more shot under the effect of Precision Instrument. The exception is Assault Mag : Trachinus is bugged with it at release, raising your fire rate by 50rpm instead of just five, but this can still be a solid option once the glitch is fixed. Trachinus PvP god rolls in Destiny 2 Naturally, you can't use Trachinus in Heavy Metal. Image via Bungie Barrel: Smallbore, Hammer-Forged Rifling, or Fluted Barrel Mag: Accurized Rounds or Light Mag First perk: Killing Wind or Transcendent Moment Second perk: Encore or Binary Orbit Our PvP god roll aims to boost handling and range with its parts, pairing them with the PvP-favoring rolls in Trachinus' perk pool. Killing Wind and Transcendent Moment trigger on kills with this shotgun, though they can give you the biggest benefit. Proximity Power might be a good choice for the Crucible, too, albeit not as orthodox as the other two. Encore also triggers on kill, so you could as well double down on it for more range, though Binary Orbit may be low-maintenance enough to have in your back pocket. How to get Trachinus in Destiny 2 Brigs vs. Tanks is back. Image via Bungie Trachinus is available during Destiny 2's Heavy Metal event, which hosts some vehicular manslaughter in a Brigs vs. Tanks faceoff. The event only runs until Sept. 9 with the release of Ash & Iron. It's unclear if those weapons will return in the future. Like our content?

Persona 5: The Phantom X Gets More Gold Ticket Characters in 2.0
Persona 5: The Phantom X Gets More Gold Ticket Characters in 2.0 The 2.0 X-Stream for Persona 5: The Phantom X finished and, in addition to confirming new additions we already knew would appear, it announced more exchange characters will be available after the update. This means there will be three more units on the Gold Tickets Contract banner, which is always available. Everything starts to appear after the patch releases and maintenance is done on September 4, 2025. We’ll also all get 1,000 Meta Jewels after maintenance as a gift, which can be claimed until September 22, 2025. See, Persona 5: The Phantom X isn’t like Umamusume: Pretty Derby , where a limited gacha character joins the general pool after they debut. It is like Genshin Impact instead, where that person could be considered limited. The Contracts page will have a Gold Ticket banner, which involves always available units. The slide during the X-Stream for 2.0 noted that Mona, Panther, Riddle, Rin, and Skull are already ones you can use Gold Tickets to get. After the update this week, Bui, Joker, and Marian will be available there.   The stream also announced Cognitite Shards are being added. If you get these items, you can “awaken” and improve a five-star character. This is instead of pulling doubles. You will need to get 60 for the limit break. The announcement slide showed Mona, Panther, Riddle, Rin, and Skull when discussing the item, and Tasks will apparently be tied to them too. As for the other additions, we already had hints about what characters and places we’d see in Persona 5: The Phantom X 2.0. The campaign will get Chapter 3 Phase 1 , with Chiyome joining as the new four-star Phantom Thief Riko “Wind” Tanemura as part of it. That also means we’ll get to go to Kichijoji for the first time and head to a new Mementos Palace. Ayaka “Chord” Sakai will show up as the new five-star Phantom Idol in the gacha.  In case you missed it, here is the full Persona 5: The Phantom X X-Stream that aired on September 3, 2025.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGOxEd6VGzg Here’s the Chord trailer, which includes her performing her original song:  https://twitter.com/P5XOfficialWest/status/1963249372319420869 Persona 5: The Phantom X is available on PCs and mobile devices, and the 2.0 update with more Gold Ticket exchange characters, new Phantom Thief Wind, and new Phantom Idol Chord debuts on September 4, 2025.

Destiny 2’s new activity gives you terrible loot unless you launch it from the Portal
Destiny 2’s new activity gives you terrible loot unless you launch it from the Portal Destiny 2 is clearly pushing players toward the Portal interface, and a bug makes it doubly true for the Heavy Metal event. Due to a glitch, launching the activity from the Tower node drops obsolete gear, with new loot only available through the Portal, the studio confirmed today. "We're investigating issues where launching Heavy Metal from the Tower node drops blue gear and older legendary gear," Bungie posted on its official channels . "Until we can disable the node, we recommend launching the activity from the Portal." It's Brigs vs. Tanks again. Image via Bungie Hovering over the activity through the Portal shows the intended loot, including any bonus drops and activity completion rewards. You can find this specific node by clicking the Event Hub on the bottom left of the Portal, then going to the Play Now tab. This week marks the first appearance of the Heavy Metal mode in The Edge of Fate , which added the Portal as a mainstay feature. When it was around last season, you could only launch the PvP activity from the Tower's special event node, so clicking on the mode through the Tower may have inherited some of those legacy rewards. The studio plans to disable this node. The Portal has dominated the game with The Edge of Fate , becoming the only way to effectively level your power. Most activities not tied to it aren't as rewarding since they still drop legacy gear not adapted to the tier system. The Desert Perpetual is the exception, though the quality of its rewards has also drawn negative attention from players since its release. The Heavy Metal event pits players against each other in teams of Brigs vs. Tanks, and it's only around for a week, disappearing with the release of Ash & Iron next Tuesday. You have a limited time to get the event's unique drops, such as the Synanceia sword with access to Eager Edge and the Trachinus Rapid-Fire Slug Frame shotgun. Just make sure to launch it through the Portal; otherwise, your rewards won't be worth the time you've put into a match. Like our content?
