During a special IGN Live edition of Up at Noon today, McFarlane Toys’ Brian Walters (Director, Brand Creative) stopped by to chat with Max Scoville and Brian Altano about what the company has in the pipeline, including their new Elite Edition series that’s kicking off with Doom Slayer from Doom: The Dark Ages, followed by Lilith from Diablo IV. Walters said the idea behind the Elite Edition was “to create highly decorated, super detailed, iconic version of characters from games.” One way these figures stand out is by their inclusion of soft goods, such as the fur cloak on Doom Slayer, and Walters noted they were “Introducing new materials we haven’t used.” Walters pointed out the many accessories Doom Slayer came with, including the Pulveriser, flail, combat shotgun, and shield saw, saying he felt it was ”a really great first item for [Elite Edition].” Though pre-orders for Doom Slayer were currently sold out, Walters said the figure would be available at retailers like Walmart and Gamestop upon release. And yes, it was implied some monsters are in the works for the Doom Slayer to battle. Lilith in the meantime just went up for pre-order today, tied to IGN Live. Her accessories include multiple palace fates for a variety of expressions, and Williams said the idea was they were “holding nothing back with this figure,” including articulated wings and “a soft PVC tail so you can pose it however you want.” Williams said the challenge with a figure like Lilith was “the balance of executing the design but still making a functional toy. You have to make tough decisions.” He added that probably the hardest thing was pulling off “the engineering without compromising the look of the character.” As for what else McFarlane Toys had in the pipeline, there’s the Power Armor from Fallout, which is based on the game, not the series. The previous figures they made for the TV version were from the Movie Maniacs line, so the Power Armor will be the first articulated Fallout figure. Williams teased there was “more to come here. We’ve got some good surprises coming.” Last but not least, Williams showed off two of the figures from the upcoming Mortal Kombat Classics line - including a boxed Sub-Zero, featuring very fun retro arcade packaging that includes joystick controls on the box art and the original character select image of Sub-Zero, along with his bio, on the back.

It's old news that you can play Baldur's Gate 3 for hours on end and still discover new content with each playthrough, but that doesn't stop it from being a pleasant surprise when you actually do come across something you've never seen before. A lot of minor characters and encounters have a surprising amount of lore behind them, and even the smallest items can have quite the story behind them. Many early fights which players may feel were only included to recreate the feeling of a random encounter are actually very well thought-out. View the full article

While there are five classes in Dune: Awakening, the one that's arguably the most useful doesn't become available until you complete a side quest while first exploring Arrakis in Hagga Basin South. The Planetologist class includes skills and abilities that make exploration and salvaging much more efficient, and it's the best class to dip into early in the game to acquire more materials from salvaging, among other benefits. If you're wondering how to unlock the Planetologist, you'll have to find an NPC named Derek Chinara in his camp near Testing Station 02. View the full article

One of the most important decisions in Stardew Valleyis deciding who to marry of the twelve romance candidates in and around Pelican Town. For most players, this decision typically comes down to personality and which NPC gels best with the player’s tastes, but post-marriage benefits can also factor into it. Upon marriage, every potential spouse will periodically give the player gifts, and while most are similar enough to make any price difference negligible, there are a few exclusive items that only come from specific marriages.

Having already out pre-orders of many packs and bundles already, the Magic: The Gathering - Final Fantasy cards officially will be released June 13 and Principal Designer Gavin Verhey and Executive Producer Zakeel Gordon were on hand at IGN Live today to discuss the much-anticipated collaboration. Verhey and Gordon said that there have been other IP crossovers with Magic before, Final Fantasy was particularly exciting because, as Verhey put it, “It’s Final Fantasy! That really helps! We’ve been working on this set for about five years.” The duo noted everyone at Wizards of the Coast were big fans of Final Fantasy, noting most had been playing the games longer than they’d played Magic and means so much to them. Verhery said their approach was to incorporate something from all 15 games – which upped to 16 as they were working on the cards – which began with making spreadsheets of all the characters, items and story modes. They then split up the possible inclusions into three tiers - what Verhey described as the "gotta have: primary elements and most popular characters, followed by the second tier, which is where “cool side characters” came into play, while the third tier were the deep cuts, “like Guy speaking beaver. We wanted to get it all in there. Every game is represented from most iconic characters to deep cuts you can’t believe they put on a Magic card.” There are four Commander decks, based on Final Fantasy X, XIV, VI and VII and Verhery promised “Everything besides the lands is themed to the game” and that playing the FF7 deck “ is like seeing the whole game play out before you eyes.” Added Gordon, “We chose those decks to represent different eras. We tried to really get the breadth of the entire franchise in our product.” Gordon said inevitably they still couldn’t include every single character or game aspect they would have liked, given they didn’t have unlimited cards, noting, “The big challenge is we were going for the entire mainline series. We limited it to core games which left out a few great characters, but by design.” Gordon explained that the Through the Ages cards, which include classic Final Fantasy artwork was an idea that came up halfway through the development process, simply because they were looking at the art – from the likes of Yoshitaka Amano and Tetsuya Nomura – so much already and, as Gordon put it “The art was so amazing they wanted to put it on cards.” A couple of lucky fans at IGN Live were given decks of cards before release and when showing them off, their decks included the likes of Final Fantasy VII’s Sephiroth and Final Fantasy IV’s Rosa. Verhey said he felt that was an appeal of the Magic: The Gathering - Final Fantasy cards - taking two characters “you’d never see in [the same] game but here they are together.” View the full article

Fortnite's Chapter 6, Season 3: Super season's main theme is superheroes. Although Superman is the star of the show, as usual, Robin's the one who's part of the introductory Island Stories quest series. This one is pretty fun, albeit difficult. How to complete Robin's Training quests in Fortnite The Robin's Training quest series is all about learning to fly. However, rather than using planes, you'll use a special grappling hook to do so. First, though, we need to find Robin. Talk to Robin Our first task is to visit Robin in the fields south of Utopia City and northeast of ******'s Domain. A map marker will bring you directly here, but you'll still need to watch out for other players. Screenshot by Destructoid Robin has several dialogue options available for you to explore, allowing you to learn more about him and the world around you. Following a couple of chats with him, you'll get your first real objective of the quest. Find and use a Wingshot Grappler Your next objective is to purchase or find a Wingshot Grappler. This is a rare utility weapon that, although available in treasure chests or as player elimination drops, is much easier to obtain by purchasing it from Robin himself. It costs 600 gold bars, which, despite being pricey, is a breeze compared to venturing out into the world across multiple matches in hopes of getting lucky and finding it. Screenshot by Destructoid Now that you have a Wingshot Grappler, it's time to put it to use. You'll need to travel 500 meters using it, which you can easily do just by using it to travel around Fortnite's map. The easiest way to complete this is to activate it near Robin's location and fly around in the air. Damage players after landing with the Wingshot Grappler Your last task of Robin's Training quest is to damage players within 10 seconds of landing with the Wingshot Grappler. Once you get near someone, quickly grapple somewhere before hitting them with as many hard-hitting attacks as possible. Knocking out this task will automatically complete Robin's Training quest, rewarding you with account XP to progress you through Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 3's battle pass. The post All Robin’s Training quests in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 appeared first on Destructoid. View the full article

Recent datamining on the Genshin Impact beta reveals a rather steep difficulty for the Stygian Onslaught, a new endgame mode that will require a level of investment that most players will be unable to meet. The Spiral Abyss and the Imaginarium Theater are the current endgame modes in Genshin Impact, but HoYoverse is planning to add another one to the mix in Version 5.7. Whereas the Imaginarium Theater allowed players to borrow each other's characters, the Stygian Onslaught will seemingly allow them to team up together, at least for the first few chambers.
