Monster Hunter: Wilds does not release until 2025, but as early as now, players may begin hunting for special bonus items. While waiting for the game to drop, they may earn special equipment bonuses which they may eventually use for the upcoming title.

To do this, players simply have to save data from the Monster Hunter: World and Monster Hunter World: Iceborne on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, or PC. Here are the bonuses they will get:

Monster Hunter: World Save Data Bonus

  • Felyne Armor Set: Felyne Leather
  • Felyne Weapon: Felyne Acorn Spade

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Save Data Bonus

  • Felyne Armor Set: Felyne Duffel
  • Felyne Weapon: Felyne Trekker Peckaxe

Now is also a great time to purchase these previous titles under the Monster Hunter franchise, if you haven’t done that yet. Both have a 67% off discount as part of Steam’s June sale.

Monster Hunter: World retails for just SG$ 13.53 while Monster Hunter World: Iceborne is priced at just SG$ 19.98. Other games under the series also get discounts of up to 75% off. The promotion is until June 13, 2024.

Monster Hunter: Wilds

The latest action RPG installment will take players to the Forbidden Lands. Playing the role of a Research Commission member, players are tasked to investigate the area. Along the way, they will encounter even more massive beasts here like the Chatacabra and Doshaguma as they journey across a new world.

The title’s first trailer shows much of the desert parts of the area, but there’s more than just that. The world features an ever-changing climate that will give another challenge for players. Moreover, the hunting locales each feature an unforgiving and harsh region full of monsters, and another which is vibrant and brimming with life. The clip also shows Seikret, whom the players will be able to utilize for navigation during hunts.

Monster Hunter: Wilds will release in 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.

2026’s The Game Awards will stream live on Disney+

Published

Annually, The Game Awards have become a sort of second Christmas for gamers. Besides a celebration of the past year in the world of videogames, the event hosts trailers for games of the upcoming year and beyond. Though it’s already free on several platforms, viewers can now tune in to Disney+ to watch this year’s Game Awards.

Hosted as always by Geoff Keighley, 2026’s The Game Awards will happen on December 10 at 7:30pm ET. Most of the event will award the best titles of various categories for the year. Several publishers and developers also use the event to announce their upcoming titles. It’s for these reasons that a lot of gamers catch the event every year.

This year, The Game Awards is streaming live on Disney+. This is in addition to its usual platforms including Twitch and YouTube. The Disney+ stream will be available in the United States and select territories internationally.

For now, gamers can also vote on their picks for various categories via the event’s website.

On the other hand, Disney+ has been pushing live events more adamantly. In the Philippines, for example, the platform is the home for live NBA coverage. Though it’s not as strong as Netflix’s gaming push with its assortment of free games, Disney+’s addition of the annual awards show is a worthy go for gamers.

Secretlab Pokemon

Secretlab is bringing some iconic Pokémon to your gaming setup. The Secretlab Pokémon Collection introduces three new TITAN Evo gaming chairs inspired by Pikachu, Gengar, and Eevee.

Each chair features distinct design elements inspired by its respective Pokémon. The collection also incorporates microsuede and velour detailing for added texture and depth.

Fans can find several hidden details throughout the designs. These include each Pokémon’s Type symbol and Pokédex number on the backrests. The collection also pays tribute to the original 151 Pokémon.

Three Pokémon, three distinct designs

The Secretlab TITAN Evo Pokémon Pikachu Edition puts everyone’s favorite Electric-type Pokémon front and center.

Pikachu appears in plush velour detailing against bold Electric-type symbols. The chair features 11 unique Pikachu motifs across its side wings. A black-to-yellow gradient completes its overall design.

Fans can also spot the differences between male and female Pikachu.

Meanwhile, the Secretlab TITAN Evo Pokémon Gengar Edition embraces a darker aesthetic. Gengar takes center stage on the backrest alongside Ghost- and Poison-type symbols.

Gastly and Haunter also appear across the side wings. A spectral purple gradient ties the entire design together.

Finally, the Secretlab TITAN Evo Pokémon Eevee Edition celebrates Eevee and its eight evolutions.

Eevee appears on the backrest with plush velour detailing. The chair features warm cream-and-brown gradients and a Normal-type symbol. Its design also incorporates all eight Eeveelutions, from Vaporeon to Sylveon.

The TITAN Evo experience

Beyond their Pokémon-inspired designs, all three chairs retain the Secretlab TITAN Evo’s ergonomic features.

The chair uses medium-firm, patent-pending cold-cure foam. This material contours to the body while providing weight distribution and pressure relief.

Its sculpted pebble seat base features gently sloping side wings. These guide users toward the middle while leaving room to switch sitting positions.

The TITAN Evo also features 4-way L-ADAPT lumbar support. It moves up, down, in, and out to accommodate the natural curvature of the lower back.

Secretlab’s SoftWeave Plus fabric provides a soft, breathable knit surface. Its construction also allows detailed Pokémon motifs to appear throughout the material.

Availability

The Secretlab Pokémon Collection features the Pikachu, Gengar, and Eevee Editions of the TITAN Evo.

Interested buyers can learn more about the collection through Secretlab’s official website, Shopee, and Lazada.

How to change your Nintendo eShop region

Hint: You can’t find it on your Switch.

Published

on

With Nintendo finally opening the eShop and Nintendo Switch Online in the Philippines, you might be wondering how you can switch your account’s region to the right country. After all, before today, you might have set your shop to the neighboring Singapore or other countries that aren’t named the Philippines. If you’re in the same boat, here’s a quick how-to, so you can enjoy paying for services in Philippine peso.

First, you need to log into your Nintendo Account. Take note: you can do this only through their website via a browser, so don’t fiddle around with your Switch or Switch 2 just yet.

Upon logging in, you’ll be redirected immediately to your profile’s information, including your country or region of residence. Just click Edit and select your desired country in the drop-down menu.

Nintendo will then present you a few notices regarding changing your region. The important bit is that you can’t carry over your account balance to the next region. So, if you have a hefty sum tucked away in your current region, it might be wise to spend it before switching. Likewise, your credit card might not work if it was issued from the current region.

Once you agree to the terms, everything’s set!

All you need to do is access the eShop on your console and sign in again. Afterwards, the corresponding services should be in your currency of choice.

For a list of detailed changes and prices, check out our coverage here.
