New Metal Gear Rex Action Figure Comes With Goofy Lego-Looking Minifigures

Game News - Wed, 03/12/2025 - 10:59

Video games have spawned tons of iconic mecha designs over the years, but there's something timeless about Metal Gear Solid's bipedal powerhouse, Metal Gear Rex. If you've ever wanted to own one--but don't have the billions in cash necessary to build a 1:1 replica--then this upcoming collectible from Megahouse is a nice alternative. The $170 figure launches November 2025 and preorders are available now.

Metal Gear Solid Variable Action D-SPEC Metal Gear Rex $170 | Releases November 2025

The Metal Gear Solid Variable Action D-SPEC Metal Gear Rex figure includes plenty of articulation and is packed with recognizable details like the iconic shoulder-mounted railgun, the radar dome, the animalistic "mouth" cockpit design. The figure also comes with two minifigures of Solid Snake and Liquid Snake, just in case you feel like reenacting the climactic showdown between the two brothers. Both figures are small enough to fit in Rex's cockpit section, and the Solid Snake figure includes a swappable spare arm that holds his MK 23 SOCOM sidearm.

Preorder at Entertainment Earth

If you'd like to add to your Metal Gear Solid collection, there are a few other nice figures to preorder right now. There's a new Figma action figure of Solid Snake based on his design from Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. The highly posable figure includes several accessories, like his SOCOM pistol and handy cardboard box disguise. Priced at $87, this will start shipping out in January 2026.

For something cuter, Good Smile Company is reissuing its Raiden and Solid Snake Nendoroid collectibles, which turn the gruff super-soldiers into cute chibi figures. The Solid Snake one is especially good as it comes with two head sculpts--a Nendoroid-style head with a dynamic bandana and an alternate head that makes Snake look exactly like his 1998 character model. Tubbz also has an adorable Solid Snake figure that reimagines the character as a floating rubber ducky.

How To Beat Destiny 2 Court Of Blades And Earn Bonus Loot

Game News - Wed, 03/12/2025 - 10:21

Act II of Destiny 2 Episode Heresy has brought with it a new surprise on the Dreadnought. Along with the whisperings of a familiar foe in players' ears, they will also take on a familiar challenge. The new activity, Court of Blades, is a boss-rush mode similar to the original Court of Oryx activity from Destiny: The Taken King. Here's how the Court of Blades works and what it can give players on completion.

Table of Contents [hide]Destiny 2 Court of Blades explained

The Court of Blades is an enemy gauntlet activity where players face an escalating series of enemies within a 10-minute time limit. As the activity progresses, there will be two bosses per phase of the activity--one small and one major. Upon spawning into the activity, players will need to each select an Augmentation from one of the two statues on either side of the room they enter. This Augmentation will provide different conditions throughout the fight that players will need to adapt to. These Augmentations will also stack, so multiple conditions can exist simultaneously.

Some examples of what can show up include Banish, in which players will need to find and defeat three Taken Wizards quickly or be teleported out of the room mid-fight to a dome-like area where they will need to fight a separate miniboss to escape. Another one is Sharpen, where players will encounter an invincible Knight with a shield that needs to be stripped away using the swords dropped by smaller knights. Keep in mind these objectives exist on top of what needs to be done to defeat the major bosses of each phase.

How To Get Auto-Petters In Fields Of Mistria: Animal Sprite Statues Guide

Game News - Wed, 03/12/2025 - 09:46

Fields of Mistria's auto-petters are a new convenience that developer NPC Studio added in the farm sim's second major update. These automatically make all your farm critters happy--assuming they're in the same room as the statue. That sounds like a small benefit, but once you have a lot of animals, petting them individually can take a lot of time from your day. This Fields of Mistria auto-petter guide explains how to get the Animal Sprite Statue crafting recipe and make the tool yourself.

Fields of Mistria: How to get the Animal Sprite Statue auto-petter crafting recipeIt'll take a few seasons before you're ready to break down this wall.

Your first auto-petter and the crafting recipe to make more are sealed away in a cave you've probably passed countless times before. It's the blocked cavern entrance next to Errol's house in The Narrows, southwest of the museum. You need a new spell, Dragon's Breath, to open it, and getting that is no easy task.

Fields of Mistria rewards you with the Dragon's Breath spell as part of completing the Breaking the Fire Seal quest, which you also need to complete to meet Caldarus' human form, enter the Lava Caves and Deep Woods biomes, and unlock Water Sprite Statue sprinklers.

How To Get Sprinklers In Fields Of Mistria - Water Sprite Statues Guide

Game News - Wed, 03/12/2025 - 09:13

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.

Devil May Cry Netflix Trailer Makes Dante The World's Last Resort

Game News - Wed, 03/12/2025 - 09:10

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.

Avowed Premium Edition Is Just $50 At Walmart, But Probably Not For Long

Game News - Wed, 03/12/2025 - 07:42
See at Walmart

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.

See at Walmart

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. This highly replayable strategy card game originally released in 2023 and was followed up by a Clone Wars Edition last August.

Marvel Rivals Is Giving Away Adam Warlock-Themed Twitch Drops

Game News - Wed, 03/12/2025 - 06:54

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.

Leaks Hint At Kendrick Lamar X Fortnite Collab

Game News - Wed, 03/12/2025 - 05:54

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:

Tomb Raider Colossal Collection - Preorder 1,800-Plus Pages Of Classic Comics

Game News - Wed, 03/12/2025 - 05:50

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.

Preorder at Amazon Preorder at Amazon

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.
