HoYoverse has announced the launch of Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.4. It is titled “For the Sun is Set to Die,” arriving on July 2.

This major update invites Trailblazers to venture into the heart of the Era Nova alongside newcomer Phainon. His fate intertwines with the Trailblazer’s own.

Three new playable characters — Phainon, Saber, and Archer — will join the roster. They bring distinct abilities, stories, and combat styles to the game’s ever-expanding universe.

Honkai: Star Rail × Fate/stay night

At the center of this update is a landmark crossover: Honkai: Star Rail × Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works]. The special event “Sweet Dreams and the Holy Grail War” kicks off on July 11.

It features a brand-new story chapter, Trailblaze Continuance, where players will encounter iconic Heroic Spirits — Saber, Archer, and Lancer. They clash and form unexpected alliances in a dazzling cosmic Grail War.
Familiar faces like Aventurine, Mr. Boothill, and Miss Robin will also make appearances, enriching the star-studded cast.

Saber joins as a playable 5-star Wind-type Destruction character. Her ultimate, Excalibur, unleashes massive AoE Wind DMG and transforms her Basic Attack into an enhanced version that targets all enemies.

She builds Core Resonance through her Technique, Basic Attacks, and ally Ultimates — once filled, she gains an extra action. Her Skill, when triggered with max Core Resonance, deals increased damage and instantly refills her Ultimate’s energy.

“For the Sun is Set to Die”

Archer, a 5-star Quantum-type Hunt character, excels in sustained single-target damage. Entering his Circuit Connection state allows repeated Skill use without ending his turn, with each cast increasing in power. His Ultimate summons Unlimited Blade Works, striking a single foe and activating Special Charge. As allies attack, Archer consumes this Charge to launch Follow-up Attacks and generate Skill Points for the team.

Players who log in after the collab goes live on July 11 can claim Archer for free as a limited-time reward until the end of Version 3.6. Both character and Light Cone banners will be available long-term after launch.

Version 3.4 also includes the return of sought-after characters: Tribbie, Sunday, and Sparkle in the first phase, followed by Firefly, Jingliu, and Blade in the second. Several fan-favorite characters — including Silver Wolf, Kafka, Blade, and Jingliu — receive major enhancements, from upgraded battle mechanics to improved Eidolon effects. Players can now switch between traditional and enhanced combat modes to suit their preferred playstyle.

On the style front, Firefly’s new outfit “Spring Missive” debuts in this version, offering a fresh look for the beloved Stellaron Hunter.

In terms of quality-of-life upgrades, the long-awaited “skip dialogue” feature is now available, giving players the flexibility to choose their storytelling pace. Also making a return is the cheerful minigame Origami Bird, adding a layer of casual fun.

With over 150 million downloads across PC, iOS, Android, PS5, and the Epic Games Store, Honkai: Star Rail continues to soar. The game has received numerous accolades, including Apple’s iPhone Game of the Year, Google Play’s Best Game, The Game Awards’ Best Mobile Game, and more.

Dunk City Dynasty Season 6 Vol. 2 update has arrived with new NBA stars, Jrue Holiday and Draymond Green.

Aside from the new stars, there is a broad refresh of cosmetic content, as well as a multi-week slate of seasonal events though late April.

Players can also use a special Redemption Code for vouchers and coins, giving them a jumpstart for Season 6 Vol. 2.

Adding Holiday and Green to the roster means more elite defense and high basketball IQ for 3v3 squads. They are strong team utility role players, with Holiday offering controlled playmaking and two-way guard impact.

Green, meanwhile, brings versatile frontcourt presence, defense, and lineup flexibility. Green has won the NBA Defensive Player of the Year award back in 2017.

And although Holiday hasn’t won the same trophy, he has been an elite defender throughout his career and has been named to NBA all-defensive teams numerous times.

On the other hand, a large wave of cosmetic content across multiple in-game systems will be made available by the update. This includes rotating themed sets, treasure-hunt rewards, and an exclusive jersey release.

The update also rolls out a full progression cycle, featuring timed pass content, weekly quest activities, festival-themed missions, and login reward programs. These push players toward continuous goals and opportunities to stock up on resources throughout the event windows.

Nintendo might be working on an Ocarina of Time remake

It will reportedly launch in the second half of 2026.

What is the greatest game of all time? There’s a substantial chance that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time will be on the board. Even beside the Switch’s critically acclaimed Breath of the Wild duology, the Nintendo 64 title is one of the most quintessential games you can ever play. That said, it’s pretty dated. But maybe, not for long.

According to Nintendo insider NatetheHate, the company is working on a rerelease of Ocarina of Time. The title is scheduled for launch within the second half of 2026.

The wording is important here. “Rerelease” can mean anything. To be fair, NatetheHate, through his latest podcast, says that it’s likely we’ll get either a like-for-like remake or a full reimagining of the essential game. However, he does not discount the possibility that it’s just an HD remaster for the new consoles. Either way, Ocarina of Time is coming back this year.

If you can’t wait, the title isn’t exactly missing from the shelves. You can play the original from the list of available games through Nintendo Switch Online. The game also got a remaster for the 3DS.

There is no shortage of Zelda-related news lately. The franchise is getting a live-action adaptation next year, which now becomes a worthy follow-up to The Super Mario Galaxy Movie coming early next month.

Life is Strange: Reunion now available on consoles and PC

Max and Chloe return for an emotional finale

Bandai Namco Entertainment Asia and Square Enix have officially launched Life is Strange: Reunion, the latest entry in the narrative adventure series. Developed by Deck Nine Games, the title is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store. A physical PlayStation 5 edition is also available across Southeast Asia.

The launch comes with an official trailer, marking the return of one of the franchise’s most beloved storylines.

A long-awaited reunion

Set 11 years after the original events, Life is Strange: Reunion brings back Max Caulfield and Chloe Price as they reunite to solve a new timeline-spanning mystery. This time, the stakes center on a devastating inferno threatening Caledon University–Max’s workplace as a photography teacher.

Returning from a trip, Max discovers the campus engulfed in flames, with lives lost across the university. She survives only by using her Rewind ability, a power that allows her to reverse time.

The situation takes an unexpected turn with Chloe’s sudden arrival–an outcome tied to the timeline-merging events of Life is Strange: Double Exposure. Now dealing with fractured memories and an unstable sense of reality, Chloe once again finds herself relying on Max.

Dual perspectives, new gameplay dynamics

For the first time in the series, players can take control of both Max and Chloe, switching perspectives as the story unfolds.

Max’s Rewind power lets players revisit decisions, reshape conversations, and manipulate environments to solve complex, time-based puzzles. Meanwhile, Chloe brings her signature Backtalk ability, allowing her to push conversations in her favor and access situations Max cannot.

This dual-character approach expands both narrative depth and gameplay variety, offering different ways to uncover clues and influence outcomes.

A character-driven finale

Life is Strange: Reunion continues the series’ focus on grounded, emotional storytelling, with choices that carry meaningful consequences. The game builds toward a dramatic climax that aims to close out Max and Chloe’s journey.

As the final chapter in their story, Reunion positions itself as both a continuation and a conclusion–tying together years of narrative threads while delivering a new mystery shaped by time, loss, and choice.
