Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is already a lengthy and feature-packed experience, but its new Battle of Zhongyuan DLC comes packing even more content for players to slice through as they aim for the best loot the game has to offer. Just some of what Battle of Zhongyuan provides includes 10 new missions, a new weapon type, 6-star rarity gear, and a third difficulty mode to play through. But if you’re thinking of diving into this fresh batch of content, you’ll want to be sure you’re far enough in the story and know where to look for the new missions. Here’s how to start Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty’s Battle of Zhongyuan DLC.

The first thing to note about diving into the Battle of Zhongyuan DLC is that you’ll need to have bought it from your platform’s storefront either as part of the Season Pass or as a standalone purchase. Although the game’s newest patch automatically includes the DLC content, you’ll also still need to download a very small update that registers that you own the content. When you’ve done that, it’s time to load up the game and dive in.

In order to access the Battle of Zhongyuan missions, you’ll need to have progressed through and beaten the core game’s tenth main mission, which is titled “Tyrant’s Final Banquet.” Afterward, you’ll be able to see that an additional section called “Ex 1” has been added to your missions list, which you can now scroll to and begin tackling the first of three main DLC missions. Additionally, as you complete these new missions, you’ll unlock up to seven optional sub-battlefields that are exclusive to the DLC.

Nintendo Switch’s successor must overcome one major challenge

The latest news on the Nintendo Switch’s successor, colloquially referred to as the Nintendo Switch 2, excites me. Unfortunately, it also demonstrates a major hurdle that Nintendo Switch 2 will have to overcome.

While Nintendo has yet to go all out in terms ofexplaining what the Switch 2 is yet (or if that’s even its name), we did learn in the company’s latest financial results that the console will be backward compatible with Nintendo Switch titles. That’s a win for not just Switch 2, but game preservation and the Nintendo Account system. Although backward compatibility is a net win for Nintendo’s next system, as it was for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, it reminds me that Nintendo must succeed where PlayStation and Xbox have struggled this generation.

Stardew Valley 1.6 has finally arrived on consoles and mobile

Stardew Valley console and mobile players will want to start a new farm soon. The long-awaited 1.6 update is finally available for all platforms on Monday, bringing with it a new farm type, more dialogue with NPCs, new events, and too many other things to count.

The 1.6 update launched for PC players on March 19, so console and mobile players have been waiting almost eight months for the release. In July, developer Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone said in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that it was taking longer than expected. The following month, he wrote in another post that the ports have been the "primary focus" for the team. He had even stopped working on the Stardew follow-up Haunted Chocolatier to get the console and mobile updates finished.
