With Football Manager 25 being scrapped in February 2025, I've been left stunned alongside the rest of the fanbase. The game has already faced multiple delays — first pushed from its original release date of November 2024 to late November, and then again with a massive jump to March 2025 — due to the sheer scale of the upgrade from the previous games promised. Just when the frustration among players had hit its height, Sports Interactive and ***** dropped the hugely disappointing bombshell: FM 25 was being canceled entirely. View the full article

Marvel Rivals developer NetEase Games made an infamous Moon Knight meme canon as part of its Season 1 mid-season update. Marc Spector’s history in the Marvel universe includes serious and not-so-serious stories. He’s a complex character who has appeared in comics and video games for decades and even managed to pop up on small screens in the Marvel Cinematic Universe Disney+ series Moon Knight in 2022. Although he’s evolved to take on many names through the years, it’s not his ties to the moon god Khonshu that he’s best known for. Instead, the one line of dialog thousands of fans associate him with involves the hero calling Dracula a “big f***ing nerd.” Moon knight crashing out on Dracula over 5 dollars is the best piece of lore I’ve seen for a character in a long time [Hidden Content] — Flare_G (@_Flare_G) February 24, 2025 This unofficial gag has circulated comic book spaces for a while, showing Moon Knight as he hunts down the vampire king in hopes of collecting the debt he’s owed. It’s one of the more well-known (and funnier) Marvel memes, and it’s also managed to trick a few unfamiliar fans into thinking Moon Knight truly does have a grudge against Dracula. Now, however, Marvel Rivals has made Moon Knight's debt-collecting side feel a little more real. When the mid-season update dropped for Season 1 last week, Marvel Rivals players were treated to a new map — Empire of Eternal Night: Central Park — to help cap off its vampire-themed season. Like every other map included in the hero shooter, it’s packed with Marvel references, but those who play as Moon Knight on the stage have the chance to run into a specific treat. The Duelist hero will sometimes allude to Dracula’s debt depending on where your team is at in a match. He’ll occasionally mention that it’s “time for Dracula to pay up” while pushing the Central Park payload, for example, but he’ll also go as far as to say “Dracula’s here? Good, that bloodsuckin’ nerd owes me big.” The NetEase team essentially goes as far as it possibly can without full-on quoting the meme, and we can’t believe it’s real. He actually says more about Dracula and it's really great [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content] — Prince Caim (@boltboutamon) February 23, 2025 Triggering Moon Knight’s meme voice lines isn’t easy, as it means you’ll need to at least have the character on your team while attacking at Central Park. Thankfully, there’s another reference to Dracula being flakey tucked away in Moon Knight’s in-game Lore tab. The Dusk of the New Moon Hero Story entry, which predates the most recent Marvel Rivals update, sees Marc confessing his grudge against Dracula during a conversation with Khonshu. When the moon god asks him what he knows of vampires, Moon Knight replies: “That they *****. And that Dracula owes me money.” Marvel Rivals came out swinging with all four members of The Fantastic Four included as part of Season 1. Season 2 is rumored to include Blade as a playable character, with fans already speculating about who will be included next. For more on NetEase’s popular hero shooter, you can read about why some flying heroes have been pestering players following that mid-season update. You can also learn about how Marvel Rivals was nearly canceled before launch. Michael Cripe is a freelance contributor with IGN.

One of the internet's primordial New Media experiences is the Wiki Game - an asymmetrical "racing sim" in which you hurry from one Wikipedia page to another by clicking on the fewest number of links.

Devised by Maya Claire using the Godot Engine with audio from Neomoon's Willow Wolf, it's either a charmingly unusual way to browse a wonderful public resource or a free-associative liminal death-spiral, depending on your mood going in.

With 170 champions in League of Legends, it’s understandable that some may fall to the wayside with little to no love from the developers. This seems to be the case with this champ, who was expected to get a VGU update many moons ago but is now essentially forgotten. Shyvana was once a powerhouse in League and dominated the early stages of the game’s lifespan. As champions evolved, Shyvana did not, leaving players desperately wanting her to receive a VGU (visual and gameplay update). View the full article

What better way to celebrate Disney Dreamlight Valley adding its tenth realm than to introduce us to the most famous residents of Agrabah, Jasmine and Aladdin? Starting their storyline requires unlocking their respective realm, requiring you to find Dream Castle and spend a lot of Dreamlight. Where to find the Aladdin Realm in Disney Dreamlight Valley You'll find the Aladdin Realm on Dream Castle's fourth floor, right next to the several unmarked and night thorn-covered doors. It costs 15,000 Dreamlight to unlock, making it as costly as the Mulan and Monsters, Inc. realms. Screenshot by Destructoid After entering the castle and ascending the staircase, your goal is to find a door with a magical lamp symbol covered by night thorns. Upon further inspection, Merlin will tell you about the realm, revealing its Dreamlight price. After paying the cost, the night thorns will disappear, letting you enter Aladdin's Realm and start the "The Ancient Revealed" quest. From here onward, you can fast-travel to the realm at any point through your in-game map. How to get more Dreamlight in Disney Dreamlight Valley Before you can unlock the Aladdin Realm, you'll need a special currency named Dreamlight. You can obtain more of this resource by completing Dreamlight Duties, which you can find under "Dreamlight" in your pause menu. Screenshot by Destructoid As you complete these duties, you'll gain between 100-250 of this currency to spend on realm door unlocks and crafting. Most tasks are simple, from removing night thorns to planting and selling crops. There's also no daily limit, letting you farm Dreamlight if you have time to kill and need extra currency for realm unlocks. As you play Disney Dreamlight Valley, you'll naturally complete these objectives over time without thinking about it, so be sure to check up on your list in case you finished a few without noticing. The post How to unlock the Aladdin Realm in Disney Dreamlight Valley appeared first on Destructoid. View the full article
