PowerWash Simulator is heading on another unexpected mission, this time to Final Fantasy 7’s industrial city of Midgar. You’ll need to wait a little longer to help Cloud and friends clean up the city, as we don’t have a release date for the free Midgar Special Request DLC yet. The crossover pack’s announcement (via the Square Enix Extreme Edges Twitter account) did tease a few of the things we can expect to clean up, including the Seventh Heaven bar, and FF7’s first boss the Guard Scorpion. The teaser image also shows off the motorcycles from FF7’s mini-game, so I’ll be expecting to hose that down in time for a quick escape.
Dragon Ball and Fortnite have crossed over once again with Piccolo and Son Gohan from Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero making their debut in the Battle Royale.
Announced on the Fortnite website, both new skins include the regular inclusion of additional accessories. Son Gohan comes with Gohan’s Cape Back Bling, Gohan’s Beast Axe Pickaxe, the Capsule No. 576 Glider, and the Charging Up emote to switch to Super Saiyan.
Piccolo comes with Piccolo’s Cape and Turban Back Bling, Piccolo’s Demon Symbol Back Bling, Piccolo’s Handheld House Pickaxe, the Red Ribbon Army Aircraft Glider, and his own Charging Up emote that turns him into the Power Awakening version.
The Kamehameha attack item and Nimbus Cloud mobility item are also returning to Fortnite, and as before will increase in frequency as the storm closes in meaning games will often end in anime-esque battles.
Dragon Ball Adventure Island is also returning, letting Fortnite players explore iconic locations from the Dragon Ball anime including Goku’s house, Kami’s Palace, the Room of Spirit and Time, and Beerus’s Planet. A weekly quest on the island starting on January 31 will unlock the Gohan Beast Spray and a weekly quest starting on February 7 will unlock the Orange Piccolo Spray.
Epic Games has promised that other Dragon Ball items will be returning to the Fortnite shop in the future, but didn’t share more on which items or skins will return.
Disgaea 7: Vows Of The Virtueless, the next instalment in the long-running JRPG series, is coming to PC this year. Disgaea 7 was actually released in Japan just a few days ago, but it’ll see an overseas release on Steam this autumn. NIS also announced rereleases for Rhapsody 2: Ballad Of The Little Princess and Rhapsody 3: Memories Of Marl Kingdom coming this summer.
“Efforts are being made to remove it from the game”.
Update : After the most recent Sports Story update, it seemed that the much-discussed ‘secret dev room’ had been removed from the game. We addressed this change in the original article below, but it seems that the room has not, in fact, been removed, merely changed.
Video evidence of this was posted to Twitter by @tend0g. Looking at the video below, you can see that the room has stayed very much the same, though the dialogue has changed to reflect the opposite state of development to that which we initially saw.
Following confirmation of a Japanese launch, Nintendo and NIS America have now officially announced Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless will be launching on the Switch in fall/autumn (depending on your region).
This new entry in the epic SRPG series will include new features such as Jumbification, Hell Mode, Item Reincarnation, new and improved auto-battle and online ranked battles. You’ll even be able to customise your team with over 40 character classes. Here’s a bit about the backstory:
The curtains are open and the stage is set. Theatrhythm Final Bar Line marks the return of the Final Fantasy rhythm series to Nintendo consoles after a 10-year break. We’ve had a chance to go hands-on with an upcoming demo for the game, which will be available on 1st February, and if the early goings-on is anything to go on, then this sequel is shaping up to be as much of a delight as the 3DS entries.
In the demo, we were able to try out two modes — Series Quests, which is open from the start, and Music Stages, which you unlock after beating your first song in Series Quests. Music Stages is pretty much the exact same as it was in Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call: once you’ve unlocked the song, you can play it anytime you want on any difficulty you want. The demo allows you to unlock 30 songs, 30 characters, and level up your collection of cute characters to level 30 — and you can carry over your progress to the full game.
Today marked the second annual broadcast of The Spawnies, an award show presented by the award-winning gaming podcast Spawn On Me. The Spawnies is dedicated to providing a spotlight for underrepresented voices in gaming.

It seems you’ll finally be able to shout “1v1 me, bro” in developer Second Dinner’s superhero-themed mobile card game, Marvel Snap.
The popular licensed collectible card game, which won Best Mobile Game at the Game Awards, will finally be getting one of its most requested features since launching in October of last year: the ability to challenge your friends directly. The so-called Battle Mode will be available tomorrow.
It’s coming…
Get ready for Battle Mode where you can challenge your friends and see who’s really the best! pic.twitter.com/XPxkPXtRN8
Up until now, players have been at the mercy of Marvel Snap’s one and only playlist, a competitive matchmade mode that pits you against a random opponent in your skill bracket. In a recent blog post Second Dinner announced that Battle Mode would be a tournament-style mode where players play multiple games against one another until a clear winner emerges.
“Battle Mode pits two opponents against each other through multiple rounds. Each player starts with 10 health,” the post said. “Instead of Cubes, what’s at stake is the amount of damage the winner will deal to the loser. If you can deplete your opponent’s health to zero, you win!”
It’s still unclear if Battle Mode will come alongside a friends list or some way to keep track of people in your network to invite others to your game, something that doesn’t exist in Marvel Snap’s current form.
