Fi, the sword spirit who guides Link through Skyward Sword, gets some love in the form of a new Hyrule Warriors gameplay trailer on developer Koei Tecmo’s official YouTube channel. She moves gracefully through swarms of enemies, pirouetting as rings of energy lash out at the enemy hordes. She even has the ability to turn into the Goddess Sword to clear a large group of baddies.

For those who are unfamiliar with Fi, she is a spirit who resides in the Goddess Sword, a blade created by the goddess Hylia to assist the chosen hero (Link) in his quest to defeat Demise, the demon king and main antagonist of Skyward Sword. In the tradition of partner characters appearing in Zelda games (since Ocarina of Time), she provides Link with hints throughout the game, but also proves to be an integral part of the plot. Fi joins the cast of already announced Hyrule warriors Link, Zelda, Impa, Midna, Agitha, and Lana.

The trailer also details some of the juicy pre-orders available, including the “premium box” which features a triforce alarm clock, and the “courage” and “knowledge” DLC costumes. Better than that is the “treasure box” set which features the premium tier goods and adds the “power” DLC costume, a “hero scarf” and a treasure chest that plays the legendary ‘found an item’ fanfare. Unfortunately, these bonuses are only available in Japan. If this kind of content was included in North American preorders, the world would be a much better place.

Excitement for Hyrule Warriors is building as the game approaches its release date. The game will be available for Wii U in North America on Septemeber 26.

What is dragonsplague in Dragon’s Dogma 2 and how is it cured?
A dragon roars in Dragon's Dogma 2.

Dragon's Dogma 2 likes to keep many of its mechanics and systems a secret until you discover them. You will learn quickly that you can't fast travel around the map freely, but there's one mechanic that is far more detrimental to your game. This is called dragonsplague and it is a disease that can't be cured with a simple tonic. In fact, you may not even realize if you have it in your game because it isn't something that affects your character at all; instead, it affects your Pawns. Failing to recognize you have dragonsplague and deal with it in a timely manner can ruin your entire playthrough if you're not careful. To avoid such a catastrophe, here are all the details about this cruel disease.
What is dragonsplague?

Dragonsplague is a special kind of disease that Pawns can contract seemingly by interacting with either Drakes or Dragons. That part isn't fully clear yet, however, we do know that Pawns with dragonsplague can spread the disease to other Pawns. Since Pawns are able to pass between worlds to join other players, you are never fully safe from being infected if you're playing online. Unlike a real sickness, though, dragonsplague actually transfers between Pawns rather than spreads, meaning it won't fully run rampant through the game.

Stellar Blade feels more like a Soulslike than a fast-paced action RPG
Stellar Blade STALKER fight.

 

Korean developer Shift Up first made a name for itself with mobile games like 2016’s Destiny Child, a turn-based RPG, and 2022’s Goddess of Victory: Nikke, an on-rails third-person shooter. Now, Shift Up is throwing its hat into the ring of AAA game development with Stellar Blade, an action game starring a young woman named Eve who is trying to reclaim Earth from an invading alien species. The developer’s first attempt at crafting a premium console experience is already much stronger than I expected.
