Getting Fields of Mistria's sprinklers, or Water Sprite Statues to use their official name, involves an in-depth process that pushes you through much of the farm-sim's current endgame. If you're just starting in the game, don't expect to get your hands on them any time soon. It's worth the effort, though, as not only do you get an item that cuts your workload's intensity, but you also get the knowledge to craft the stones that make the sprinklers work. This Fields of Mistria guide explains how to get sprinklers and what you need to craft them.

Fields of Mistria sprinklers: How to get the Water Sprite Statue crafting recipeYou can reach this beach at any point, but acquiring the spell that unlocks the cave takes a long time.

The sprinkler crafting recipe is in the blocked-off beach cave east of the lighthouse (and so is the auto-petter), which you can now open thanks to a new spell Fields of Mistria's second update added--if you put the work in. You acquire the Dragon's Breath spell during the Breaking the Fire Seal quest, which you also need to complete to meet Caldarus' human form and enter the update's new biomes.

The quest requires you to reach the fire seal in the mines on floor 60, which also means breaking through the other seals on the way down. The short version is that this all takes a fair bit of effort, so if you just started, it'll probably be a couple of seasons before you manage to reach this point.

Although the 25th anniversary of Devil May Cry won't happen until next year, the party is starting early next month--and getting crazy--with the release of the new anime series. Now, a new trailer for the series demonstrates the over-the-top demonic threats that Dante is going to face when trying to save the world. Fighting armies of demons is one thing, but Dante's enemies are bringing out some military-grade firepower to take him out.

Between Papa Roach's Last Resort in this trailer and Limp Bizkit's Rollin' in the show's wild opening credits sequence, Devil May Cry is really doubling down on music from the turn of the 21st century. Dante himself may be humanity's last resort, as White Rabbit (Hoon Lee) leads an invasion from the demonic realm with enough firepower to take down Earth's defenses. However, taking down Dante may prove to be trickier.

Power Rangers veteran Johnny Yong Bosch is voicing Dante in the series, and he previously voiced Nero in the Devil May Cry video games. While Nero doesn't appear to be in the show yet, Lady (Scout Taylor-Compton) will be featured as a reluctant ally to Dante, even if she doesn't quite know what to make of him. Meanwhile, Dante's brother, Vergil, makes a dramatic appearance at the end of the trailer.

For anyone who's interested in Avowed but hasn't picked it up yet, Walmart is offering digital Xbox Series X|S and PC codes of the Avowed Premium Edition for just $49.79. Normally, this version of the game costs $90 on the Xbox Store, meaning you'll be saving nearly 50% if you purchase the digital code from Walmart. It's also cheaper than the digital standard edition, which sells for $70. We're not sure how long the deal will be available or if stock is limited, so be sure to grab an Avowed Premium Edition digital code while you can.

Avowed Premium Edition (Digital) $49.79 (was $90)

The Avowed Premium Edition gets you a digital download for the full base game plus a selection of extra content, including two premium skin packs for your in-game companions to wear, a digital soundtrack, and a digital art book.

Keep in mind that this is not the Premium Edition that comes with a steelbook case. Avowed Premium Steelbook Edition comes with the same in-game content and extras but costs $95.

Avowed is the latest RPG from Obsidian Entertainment and is set in the same fantasy world as the studio's Pillars of Eternity series. However, unlike PoE's classic top-down CRPG gameplay, Avowed is a first-person RPG that builds off the gameplay of the studio's previous title, The Outer Worlds. Imagine a more streamlined version of The Elder Scrolls where you explore a series of densely packed, segmented maps rather than a single giant landscape, and you'll have a good sense of what to expect.

While GameSpot scored the game a 6/10 in our review due to some middling story and lackluster companions, Avowed's combat and exploration are excellent and well worth the price of admission--especially at just $50.

One of the best Star Wars tabletop games is on sale for ridiculously cheap at Amazon. Fantasy Flight Games' Star Wars: The Deckbuilding Game is discounted from $38 down to only $14.45.

Unlike some of the other characters in Marvel Rivals, Adam Warlock doesn't have a wide variety of looks to choose from. But starting later this week, players will get a chance to pick up a free Adam Warlock costume as part of Marvel Rivals' latest Twitch drop.

Starting on March 13 at 7 PM PT / 10 PM ET, fans who watch some of their favorite Marvel Rivals-affiliated players on Twitch can earn up to three rewards. Watching for 30 minutes will give them an Adam Warlock Will of Galacta spray, while staying for one hour will unlock an Adam Warlock Will of Galacta nameplate. But to get the costume, players will have to watch for four hours.

Adam Warlock's Will of Galacta costume.

Magneto and Hela have previously received Will of Galactca costumes that incorporate elements of her look into theirs. It seems likely that Warlock won't be the last one, especially since Hela and Magneto's costumes were also released as Twitch drops. Judging from the pic above, purple may turn out to be a good look for Warlock. But players will only be able to get him in that outfit through April 3 at 7pm PM PT / 10 PM ET.

Fortnite's latest collab with a musical artist appears to have leaked, and this time, Epic's popular battle-royale seems to be teaming up with none other than Kendrick Lamar.

Images of a cleverly named, Kdot-themed "Sit Down, Be Humble bundle" were recently shared on X (formerly Twitter) by a prolific leaker. The bundle appears to include an emote and a song.

Fans hoping Kendrick might use the rumored Fortnite collab to take additional shots at rival rapper Drake may be disappointed, however, as the bundle seems to be themed around Lamar's 2017 single, "Humble." According to the leaker, the bundle includes the following items:

Late last year, Dark Horse unveiled plans to reissue Top Cow's Tomb Raider comic book series, which originally ran from 1999 to 2005. Tomb Raider Colossal Collection Volume 1 is slated to release June 24 and currently priced at $93 (was $100) at Amazon. The 888-page hardcover book has been available to preorder since November, but now you can also preorder the even larger second volume. Tomb Raider Colossal Collection Volume 2 is 944 pages and up for preorder for $100 ahead of its November 25 release.

If you buy both volumes, you'll have a nearly comprehensive collection of Tomb Raider: The Series, which ran for 50 issues. Volume 2 also contains comics from Top Cow's follow-up series as well as a handful of one-shots. In total, you're looking at more than 1,800 pages of comic stories starring Lara Croft.

Tomb Raider Colossal Collection: Volume 1 $93 (was $100) | Releases June 24

Top Cow's Tomb Raider comics have long been out of print, and the older "Archive" editions fetch an astronomical sum on the reseller market, often going for hundreds of dollars each.

Volume 1 compiles the following comics:

• Tomb Raider: The Series - Issues 1-24 and 26-34

In case you're wondering, Issue 25 saw Lara Croft team up with Witchblade. Tomb Raider was licensed to Top Cow at the time, and with the rights lapsed, it's likely that there were probably a few legal issues that made it easier to omit that particular comic book rather than include it.

Preorder at Amazon Tomb Raider Colossal Collection: Volume 2 $100 | Releases November 25

Volume 2 of Dark Horse's Tomb Raider Colossal Collection finishes Lara Croft's first comic book arc with Issues 35-50. It also includes the two prequel comics.

After you finish reading Tomb Raider: The Series, you can dive into. Tomb Raider: Journeys. Volume 2 contains all 12 issues of Top Cow's miniseries. Five Tomb Raider one-shots round out the hardcover collection.

Here's a full list of what's included in Volume 2:

• Tomb Raider: The Series - Issues 0, 1/2, and 35-50
• Tomb Raider: Journeys - Issues 1-12
• Tomb Raider one-shots:
  • The Greatest Treasure of All
  • Arabian Nights
  • Origins
  • Takeover
  • Epiphany

Top Cow's Tomb Raider comics released when the franchise was in its heyday, so they were quite popular at the time. The comics are set in the same continuity as the games developed by Core Design, making a few tweaks to Lara Croft's story along the way. A pretty talented roster of artists and writers were involved in this series, including Dan Jurgens, Adam Hughes, Michael Turner, Andy Park, Marc Silvestri, David Finch, and several others.

Call of Duty: Warzone recently celebrated its fifth anniversary with a nostalgic trailer and an announcement that the battle royale is bringing back the original Verdansk map on April 3. Thanks to an in-game countdown found in the Warzone's main menu, we can calculate exactly when the OG map arrives.

Warzone's in-game timer reveals that Verdansk arrives on April 3 at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET. Additionally, clicking on the timer will launch the countdown on a larger screen that pans over several iconic map locations from the original Verdansk map. This includes aerial views of Dam, Downtown Verdansk, and the original version of Stadium with the closed-off roof.

Warzone's OG Verdansk trailer showcased not only the classic Verdansk map, but a popular Modern Warfare 2019 operator as well, as Domino can be seen holding the game's iconic HDR sniper rifle.

Hasbro is responsible for a long list of timeless board games, including Scrabble, Monopoly, The Game of Life, and Clue. And if you’re looking for a premium way to play these icons, take a look at the Vintage Bookshelf Collection. Developed by the WS Game Company and officially licensed by Hasbro, the collection boasts striking book-inspired designs while offering a traditional gameplay experience.

Cards, dice, tokens, and even the board itself all fold up nicely into the case, giving you an elegant way to store the game when not in use. Each one is also inspired by their original game--for example, Monopoly uses graphics inspired by the classic from 1935, while Clue pulls from the 1949 edition.

The Celeste dev's next game, Earthblade, was canceled back in December 2024. While players now won't get a chance to check out the game, its composer uploaded several songs that were supposed to be part of its soundtrack.

The collection of songs is titled "Across the Bounds of Fate," and it runs for about 30 minutes and costs $7. It's composed by Lena Raine, the same composer behind Celeste. "Because we’ll never get a chance to tell that story in game form, I decided to cobble together every bit of music I’d written for the game to the point of its cancellation in order to tell my own version of it," Raine explained on her Bandcamp page.

She said that Across the Bounds of Fate is a concept album and highly dynamic, similar to what she composed for Celeste. She also explained that its overall sound was inspired by older animation and film, such as the Yamaha synths of used by Vangelis, famous for Blade Runner's music.

The first Battlefield Labs test took place recently for Battlefield 6, and while participants were prohibited from sharing footage publicly, that's exactly what happened. Lots of gameplay footage and new information emerged. Battlefield lead producer David Sirland has now reacted to this, saying he is "not OK" with leaks.

"I am not OK with leaks; they are dealt with accordingly as well," Sirland said on social media when asked for his thoughts.

A new Battlefield feature, the ability to drag a downed teammate to safety, was among the many things that leaked out of the early tests. Sirland said this will be a "key feature in the revive loop," going on to say he's expecting to see "some interesting use" in the next test.

Some hardcore PC game genres have had a renaissance in recent years. Baldur's Gate 3 reinvigorated love for the CPRG, while Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 tapped into a communal love for hardcore first-person RPGs that hadn't been satiated in a while. Not all classic PC gaming genres have been so lucky. We've yet to see a new stealth-tactics game like Commandos or a dungeon management game like Dungeon Keeper become a breakout hit. That's not for lack of trying, as games like Desperados 3 and Evil Genius 2: World Domination have kept the legacy of these genres going, albeit in a way that has stayed niche. Kuuasema's Cthulhu Keeper aims to resurrect these struggling genres and become that surprise success.

Cthulhu Keeper is a real-time tactics game split into two parts: One half sees players building up their home base of operations and defending it from intruders, while the other sees the player command cultists and Lovecraftian monsters with special abilities to complete stealth missions. I had the chance to go hands-on with Cthulhu Keeper exclusively following its reveal last month, and I found it to be an entertaining hybrid of those classic PC game genres.

The version of Cthulhu Keeper I played didn't have much narrative content, although the eldritch theming still emanated from everything I played. There's no shortage of Lovecraftian video games out there, but the distinct perspective of Cthulhu Keeper helps it stand out. As I hear my subjects say, "Yes, master" after I give them commands during stealth missions and slowly amass power by building my cult's compound, I feel like a puppet master in the way Cthulhu and other horrors often are in Lovecraftian tales.

Chrono Trigger is celebrating its 30-year anniversary today, March 11, 2025. Below, we explore how its innovative New Game Plus feature set it apart as an all-time classic.

I spent almost an entire summer vacation repeatedly replaying Chrono Trigger. At the peak of the dog days, when I was content to stay indoors with the air conditioning (and my parents were content to let me), I was completing a full playthrough every few days. This was a welcome proposition thanks to New Game Plus, which still stands as a major part of Chrono Trigger's legacy and a critical, irremovable piece of its brilliant design.

Chrono Trigger was not the first game to feature an optional way to continue playing after beating the game. Other games, like The Legend of Zelda, featured second quests or post-credits challenges. But Chrono Trigger did coin the term New Game Plus, and it popularized the idea as it's currently understood. As opposed to an extra challenge for those who had mastered the game, Chrono Trigger's NG+ allowed you to start the game again with all of your experience, skills, and any items or equipment that wasn't critical to the plot. Rather than challenge you to complete a second quest with your newfound mastery, it rewarded you by making the game easier and faster--a breezy romp through a story you already knew and probably loved.

In less than two weeks, a new cooperative horror game called REPO on Steam has gone from 7,000 concurrent players to hitting over 145,000 users on Valve's platform (per SteamDB). To call the online-multiplayer experience a surprise hit is probably an understatement. This is only the second title from developer Semiwork, which previously created Voidigo.

REPOre stands for retrieve, extract, and profit operation. As such, up to six people work together in the online cooperative game to attain valuable items as quietly as possible. That's easier than it sounds in the physics-based horror game, especially in a group setting with a "grabbing tool." But there are monsters listening and waiting to make everything even more chaotic.

Semiwork has called the burst in popularity for REPO "quite the experience," as it's the first time the studio has utilized the Unity engine as well as made an online multiplayer game. The developer is busy with new features, enemies, and levels for the horror game--as well as addressing bugs. Additionally, Semiwork is trying to figure out the best way to address hackers without implementing anti-cheat systems, since that could negatively affect players using mods.
