Xbox recently delisted 27 games from European markets, including some fairly well-known titles such as Kena: Bridge of Spirits and Super Meat Boy Forever. The sudden delisting of these games was not announced, so it’s possible that a bug caused these titles to vanish from Xbox storefronts in Europe. View the full article

Every time I come back to Halo Infinite, I'm reminded how good it feels to play. Halo Studios (formerly 343 Industries) nails the sense of weight and movement, and the Spartan power fantasy across the entire experience, but it's especially noticeable in Infinite's multiplayer. The breadth of tools at your disposal makes it one of the best online sandboxes around, and the latest update is a big one. Even with Halo's Unreal Engine future looking incredibly bright, now's the time to give Infinite another shot. Read the rest of the story...

Using the best build for Escoffier in Genshin Impact can significantly improve your performance on the field with her, even if she is specialized in allowing her team to operate while staying off the field per se. Escoffier is a 5-star Cryo character who wields a polearm in battle. Introduced as a playable unit with Version 5.6, Escoffier can operate on two fronts: either dealing Cryo DMG from off the field, which makes her a Cryo sub-DPS, or healing her allies with her Burst. Escoffier’s kit in Genshin Impact allows her to be a hybrid. View the full article

It's almost surreal to ride a drop pod down to the surface of one of EVE Online's tens of thousands of planets in the upcoming shooter tie-in, EVE Vanguard. I've flown by them hundreds of times in the many years I've been playing the venerable spaceship MMO, but usually at astronomical distances. I always wondered about what was going on down there. I would make up stories about it in my head. Now I have a high-powered space rifle in my hands and I'm experiencing the universe up close and personal. And while it was a very, very build that couldn't show off a lot of the ******* promises, to my disappointment, there are some promising hints already. As a quick caveat, the footage you're seeing is still from an early build and a lot of things, including the weapon and enemy models, are not final. CCP just announced that Vanguard will be going into Early Access in Summer 2026, so we've still got a while to wait. Also, the portion we actually got to play was only the session-based shooter maps themselves, and not the career and progression stuff that will be taking place back in space. But I got to talk to the devs about both, so we'll get into a bit of each here. What, exactly, is a Vanguard? Well, like most things in EVE Online, it's some esoteric high concept sci-fi that can seem a little bewildering at first. Your character is a semi-immortal "infomorph" – which is to say a digital human consciousness that lives in cyberspace. I guess you could say you're something like Johnny Silverhand from Cyberpunk 2077. To fight on the front lines of New Eden's many wars, you upload yourself into a powerful war clone, which is purpose-grown from a fresh soup of biological matter for each mission. They're not free, but you can call down a new one in the middle of a mission if the one you're in gets blown up, explaining how you can respawn over and over. On a scale from random cannon fodder to Master Chief, the devs said you can think of war clones as not exactly superhuman, but more like the absolute peak of human ability an elite athlete could achieve. They are renowned across the galaxy, and running into another player-controlled Vanguard on a deployment is meant to feel like a mini boss fight. Suit Up Vanguards gather in bastions, which CCP says you could think of almost like The Continental from John Wick. I swear I'm not trying to shoehorn in more Keanu references here. It just happens! It's neutral ground to shop, swap stories, and pick up new contracts, represented by a virtual space where you'll be able to physically walk around and interact with other mercs' avatars. As someone who was devastated when EVE Online removed the ability to walk around in stations, I was particularly pleased to hear this. The really cool thing, though, is that these bastions exist out in the same universe where EVE Online players are zipping around in their spaceships. The initial ones will be NPC-controlled, but it will eventually be possible for players to attack, build, and even own their own bastions. CCP hopes specific bastions might develop a reputation as the place you go if you really need a job done right. And similar to how EVE has "high sec" space where NPC law enforcement protects new players and "low" or "null sec" where players are free to PvP to their heart's content, new Vanguards will also be able to choose where they end up based on how interested they are in fighting other players. Hair Trigger One of the biggest changes in philosophy EVE Vanguard has undergone since its reveal back in 2023 is how the guns themselves are being designed. We're moving away from sleek, understated military sci-fi into what the designers called an homage to the "golden age" of shooters, citing inspirations like Doom, Quake, and Unreal. There is still your standard space rifle, which comes in a few different faction variants. But I also got to play around with an energy shotgun with ricocheting projectiles that can fire in a spread pattern, or a single, massive orb of destruction if you hold down the fire button for a couple seconds. As more of a long-range enjoyer, my favorite was this high-powered sniper rifle that features the ability to hold your breath to line up a perfect shot. While the model is clearly unfinished, the reload animation of swapping out the little focusing crystal is slick and memorable as well. Like in EVE Online, almost everything is gathered and crafted by players, too. Even in a mission, I had to loot some corpses and spend a bit of time with my portable fabricator to top up my ammo. Mining and industry will also be a part of the Vanguard experience. It will even be possible to specialize in it – though the devs warned me that you'll probably want to bring some backup with combat skills if you do. For now, EVE Vanguard is still a lot of "wills," "shoulds," and " hope tos." It is playable, and the gunplay feels a bit unpolished still, but satisfying. You might see me switching weapons with a debug menu in the video at the top of the page, which was just for the demo. Eventually, we'll be picking our loadout from the deck of our own battlebarge ahead of a deployment. This will also let us pick which kind of war clone to spawn, and we were told they will eventually come in all different shapes and sizes for different specializations. Vanguard will also have a bit of separation from the main EVE Online economy. Notably, you don't buy guns and ammo with ISK, which is the main currency for the starship jockeys, since it wouldn't make much sense for a rifle to cost the same as a frigate. There absolutely will be ways for players of both games to work together and benefit one another symbiotically, though. Some materials Vanguards can access planetside might not be abundant in space, for instance. Another example I was given likened it to Star Wars: Rogue One or Return of the Jedi, where an elite ground team might have to take down a shield generator so the fleet above can attack a fortified station. Nightmare Fuel The enemies here are also a work-in-progress. Using placeholder models, they spawn in small groups and mostly keep their distance, but I did get caught a couple times by a flanking attack from an unexpected direction. We got to see some concept art of one of the PvE enemy factions, Mordu's Legion, though, and they are extremely unsettling. These cyborg space mercs who have their heart ritually removed as part of their initiation will come in several different ranks, with some being able to direct the others on the battlefield. On any given deployment, you might end up running into these NPCs and other players. These arenas are massive, open-ended, and varied, a combination of procedurally-generated terrain and handcrafted battlegrounds featuring the wreckage of some of EVE's recognizable starships. In this mission, there was debris actively streaking through the atmosphere as we fought, which was a really awesome touch. For now, EVE Vanguard is still a lot of "wills," "shoulds," and " hope tos." It is playable, and the gunplay feels a bit unpolished still, but satisfying. The environments are impressive, and the weapon designs are diverse and bombastic. It's just hard to get the full picture without actually experiencing how it will tie into the EVE Online shared universe or the social features, which are definitely the most exciting part of the whole idea. For that we'll have to wait until the middle of next year when Early Access warps in, at which point both games will be connected at last. View the full article

The Cheshire Cat has some special rewards available for you if you tackle his Cheshire Cat Chaos event in Disney Dreamlight Valley. One of the most important parts of this event is finding and removing Cheshire Cracks. These special cracks blend in with the environment quite well and are tough to spot even when you know exactly what you're looking for. You need to uncover quite a lot of them to progress in the event, so here's how to find Cheshire Cracks in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Table of contentsWhere to find Cheshire Cracks for the Cheshire Chaos event in Disney Dreamlight ValleyWhat do Cheshire Cracks look like in Disney Dreamlight Valley?How to remove Cheshire Cracks in Disney Dreamlight ValleyHow often do Cheshire Cracks spawn in Disney Dreamlight Valley?Where to find Cheshire Cracks for the Cheshire Chaos event in Disney Dreamlight Valley Screenshot by Destructoid You can find Cheshire Cracks randomly throughout all biomes around the main valley for the Cheshire Chaos event. They function pretty similarly to regular digging spots, so where they choose to pop up is entirely random and looks different for each player. All of the biomes where they can appear are as follows. The PlazaDazzle BeachPeaceful MeadowForest of ValorGlade of TrustFrosted HeightsForgotten Lands Cheshire Cracks only appear around the main valley. If you have access to DLC worlds like Storybook Vale and Eternity Isle, you won't find them over there. Instead, stay only in classic Dreamlight Valley to hunt for them. What do Cheshire Cracks look like in Disney Dreamlight Valley? Cheshire Cracks look very similar to classic digging spots. They appear as small sparkling mounds of dirt on the ground. The only noticeable difference is that they have a slightly purple/pink color to them to match the Memory Shard inside. How to remove Cheshire Cracks in Disney Dreamlight Valley To clear away Cheshire Cracks, you need to equip and use your Royal Shovel to dig them up. Inside, you'll find a Star Coin or Memory Shard. The Cheshire Chaos event has a special memory that you can only complete by finding and removing enough cracks to piece together the entire image. The task you can complete by digging Cheshire Cracks is called Calmer of Chaos. You have to find 10 Memory Shards to piece together the entire image, but it may take you more than 10 Cheshire Cracks depending on how many randomly choose to be Star Coins instead. Screenshot by Destructoid How often do Cheshire Cracks spawn in Disney Dreamlight Valley? Cheshire Cracks spawn every 15 minutes. There can only be up to five present at any point, so if there are already five around your village, more won't spawn until you remove them. They can be pretty tough to find and sometimes tough to distinguish from regular digging spots, especially in shadowy biomes like the Forgotten Lands and Glade of Trust, so it's best to dig up all the mounds you come across to ensure you don't miss any. Next, you might work on finding Cheshire Paw Prints for the event. While you wait for more Cheshire Cracks and Cheshire Paw Prints to spawn, you may want to work on some Garden of Whimsy Star Path duties like giving gifts to a blonde and digging up a root vegetable with many eyes.

The Cheshire Cat has finally joined your valley as an official villager in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Now that you can regularly interact with him, it's time to tackle his friendship quests. The first one is Furniture Fluster, and it's decently tough to get done. Upon joining he valley, the Cheshire Cat immediately stirs up more trouble for you to fix in this quest. It's also a great one to finish to quickly build up your friendship with him, so here's a complete quest walkthrough for Furniture Fluster in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Table of contentsHow to complete Furniture Fluster in Disney Dreamlight ValleyVisit the house of the Diamond in the RoughCollect the purple cutesy items from Aladdin and Jasmine's houseHow to complete Furniture Fluster in Disney Dreamlight Valley Screenshot by Destructoid To complete the Furniture Fluster quest, you need to fix the messes that the Cheshire Cat made throughout several villagers' houses. There are lots of smaller steps throughout this vast quest, so here's a full breakdown of everything you need to do to get it done. Visit the house of the Diamond in the Rough Since nothing is ever straightforward with him, the Cheshire Cat gives you vague riddles as hints for which houses he tampered with. These hints are pretty similar to those that appear in events like the Garden of Whimsy Star Path, so you may already know the answer if you regularly tackle them. The first vague clue he gives you is to visit the house of the Diamond in the Rough. This clue refers to Aladdin, who was referred to by this title during the film Aladdin. You need to have Aladdin and Jasmine unlocked to tackle this task. Once you're at Aladdin's house, talk to him about what the Cheshire Cat has done. He's confused about all of the strange items that have appeared around his house, so it's up to you to get rid of them. Collect the purple cutesy items from Aladdin and Jasmine's house Your next task is to grab three purple cutesy items that the Cheshire Cat placed around Aladdin and Jasmine's house. The three times you need to recover are: A tulip flower vase near the front door.A large vanity near the back right corner of the house.A tall lamp in the middle of the room. Despite being called "purple cutesy items," none of these objects are really purple, so it can be a bit tricky to figure out what you're looking for. All three items sparkle when you get close to them to make them easier to find and interact with. Once you have all three objects, head back to the Cheshire Cat wherever you placed his tree during the Cat Tree Catastrophe quest. He doesn't provide any insight as to who the furniture you found belongs to, so it's up to you to deduce who the items match. This guide is a work in progress. We're updating it as we continue working through this quest. The post Furniture Fluster quest walkthrough in Disney Dreamlight Valley appeared first on Destructoid. View the full article
