This time last year, the finale of Bombservice's Momodora series of indie Metroidvanias had just hit PC, and as revealed during today's PLAYISM Game Show Mini, Moonlit Farewell is making the leap to consoles on February 6, 2025.

While there's no shortage of options for Metroidvanias, there's something truly special about the Momodora series. You'll soon be able to explore this excellent swan song on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. Here's a Switch trailer from the announcement for another look at what Moonlit Farewell has to offer.

For my money, Momodora: Moonlit Farewell ticks all the right boxes. It's not too long but still clocks in with a beefier adventure than its predecessors. The visuals are outstanding, the bosses are all fun to fight, and the new Sigil system offers up a mix of interesting buffs and tempting risk-reward debuffs. 

As for new stuff, it sounds like the console version will just include content from the major updates, like the Boss Rush mode. The press release also mentions a newly added post-credits boss battle, which was also part of the PC version's March 2024 update. 

It's been 15 years since Guilherme "rdein" Martins first kicked the series off with the original Momodora. If you include the spiritual sequel. Minoria. there are six games in total, each worth the little time they ask of players. It'll be nice to have more options soon to traverse the final entry's expertly-woven map.

Folks looking for another promising roguelite action game to sink some time into can now mark their calendars for this spring. Game Source Entertainment locked in an April 24 launch date for Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade, a stylish-looking actioner that's on the way to PlayStation 4/5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

Taiwanese indie developer 7Quark is behind the action-RPG, which unfurls its take on the story of the Nine-Tailed Fox in Edo era Japan. Also known as the "King of Demons," the beast's arrival upsets the previously-established peace between humans and demons. As one might expect, that serves as a nice excuse for some fast-paced hackin' and slashin'.

You can see some of that in action along with a look at the main characters in the new trailer:

The three main characters each have notable Japanese voice talent behind them. Yoko Hikasa (Minami in Dr. STONE) voices the Demon Blade-wielding immortal ninja known as Shigure. Ayana Taketatsu (Leafa in Sword Art Online) voices Oni Emissary Sara, and Rikiya Koyama (Taiga Saejima in Yakuza/Like a Dragon) voices demon samurai and master archer Taketora. 

Throughout the adventure, weapons can be upgraded, recipes can be discovered, and alliances can be forged with "kind-hearted demons." Uh huh, we've heard that one before. Nice try, demons. 

For those who want to check it out before it drops this April, a demo is currently available on Steam. It's billed as an "evolving demo," so more is on the way in the future. As of right now, Steam Next Fest is the next approaching milestone. Look for the first half of Chapter One, new seasonal scenery, new enemies, and a new boss stage to be added to the sampler platter soon.

The Eggplant Puffs Disney Dreamlight Valley recipe helps you make a delicious three-star meal. It could potentially be a dish that one of the villagers like Simba or Jack Skellington could request at Chez Remy as well.

Eggplant Puffs Disney Dreamlight Valley ingredients

To create the tasty Eggplant Puffs for your friends in Disney Dreamlight Valley, you'll need the following three ingredients:

• Eggs
• Cheese
• Eggplant

Honestly, this is one of the easiest dishes to make in the game. Both Eggs and Cheese can be purchased at Chez Remy after completing the rat's quests in the Ratatouille realm in the Castle. Cheese is 220 Star Coins, while Eggs are 180.

Eggplant seeds are available at Goofy's Stall in the Frosted Heights, which is admittedly quite difficult to reach if you don't have the Dreamlight. You can rack that number up by completing duties and finishing quests from characters along the way. You can also craft Dreamlight by finding Dream Shards in the ground.

Back on the topic, however; Eggplant seeds are 95 Star Coins, but if you're lucky (and you don't want to wait), the ingredient itself might be available for 462 Star Coins.

What is this meal worth?

Once you've gained all the ingredients, go to any cooking station like Chez Remy. Add the Eggs, Cheese, and Eggplant into the pot. You should have the Eggplant Puffs ready to go. They might be the flattest texture you can find in the game, but hey, they can be consumed for 1,941 Energy or sold for 991 Star Coins at Goofy's Stalls. You can also make Ratatouille with Eggplant and other ingredients.

Aquamarine in Disney Dreamlight Valley is a rare precious gem that can be used to make items like Ariel's Crafting Station and the Blue Light High Beach Torch. You can find it in two different biomes within the original valley.

Aquamarine Disney Dreamlight Valley locations

You can find the pretty gem Aquamarine from two different spots in the Titular Valley any day of the week:

• Dazzle Beach
• Forest of Valor

Before you venture out, make sure to bring a Disney friend who has the Mining specialty. Talk to them, and there should be a pickaxe symbol to the left of the "Let's Hang Out!" option. You'll want to do this as you have a chance to get the gem twice, saving you loads of time in the long run.

Next, head to either Dazzle Beach or the Forest of Valor and start striking the rocks with your Royal Pickaxe. It doesn't matter if the gems show or not; there is a chance they'll drop as a reward regardless. Once you've broken all of the rocks in one area, move on to the next. Keep alternating to let the rocks respawn.

What can you make with Aquamarine?

Once you've acquired enough Aquamarine gems, you can start to create decorations for the village. Ariel's Crafting Station, unfortunately, doesn't arrive until you reach Friendship Level 7 and unlock a particular quest.

To make a Blue Light High Beach Torch that would fit in with Dazzle Beach's environment, you'll need the following:

• 5 Fiber
• 3 Sand
• 5 Softwood
• Aquamarine

You can create five pieces of fiber at the Crafting Station by using one piece of Seaweed. You can catch Seaweed by using the fishing rod outside the water ripples at Dazzle Beach. Use your shovel to pick up Sand at the beach. You can also get Sand by breaking the shells. Lastly, Softwood is found in the Plaza, Peaceful Meadow, Forest of Valor, and the Glade of Trust underneath or near trees.

You should also try to find another gem, the Topaz, while you're around the original valley.

2024 is already looking to be an interesting year for gaming, with several remakes and remasters arriving in early January and brand-new releases making the waves later on. 2023 was an exciting time, gaming in 2024 was slightly underwhelming, and it's only a matter of time before we learn what 2025 entails.

It is very easy to forget the sheer volume of games that launch throughout an entire year. One month alone can have dozens of releases, let alone the rest as game development teams announce their plans.

If you’re looking to plan ahead or tell others about an upcoming release, we have an ongoing list of games confirmed to launch in 2025. We’ll also continue updating this list as we learn about new releases and delays.

Updated January 23, 2025: Updated with release date information for Ninja Gaiden 4, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, South of Midnight, and Doom: The Dark Ages, as highlighted during the 2025 Xbox Developer Direct.

Since the game's launch, Marvel Rivals leakers have been busy like bees, unraveling an ever-expanding list of Marvel characters supposedly slated to join the hero shooter's roster. The latest additions to the pile, unveiled by a credible leaker, hint that Marvel Rivals is destined to enter an age of X-Men.

The list of X-Men coming to Marvel Rivals keeps getting longer

News about the incoming wave of X-Men characters is coming to us from XOX_LEAK, a prominent Marvel Rivals dataminer who's been dropping credible leak after credible leak for months. In a series of posts on their X (formally known as Twitter) account, XOX_LEAK claimed that twelve X-Men and X-Men-affiliated characters will bleed into Marvel Rivals in the coming months.

Thanks to the work by XOX_LEAK and other Marvel Rivals leakers, we have a clear picture of how each upcoming X-Men character works in-game, from their roles to some of their abilities. Here's a breakdown of all the X-Men characters coming to Marvel Rivals.

Marvel Rivals X-Men leaks hint at a mutant-themed Season

Not all the leaked characters coming to Marvel Rivals are X-Men. It's been all but confirmed that The Thing and the Human Torch will debut before Season 1 closes in April, and earlier leaks confirmed we'll be getting Blade, Ultron, M.O.D.O.k. and Hit Monkey. Still, other evidence makes it clear as day that the X-Men will dominate Marvel Rivals' future.

The most significant nod comes from leaked map data naming the mutant sovereign nation Krakoa. For those not in the know, Krakoa is the mutant sovereign nation that defined the era of X-Men comics from 2019 to 2024. Krakoa, always at the heart of plots designed to either expand its influence or eradicate it, would be the perfect backdrop for an X-Men season.

The future of Marvel Rivals is still uncertain, but I, for one, plan to welcome our new mutant overlords. I still remember the painful years when Marvel's stance on the X-Men boiled down to "Mutants, what mutants? Oh, you mean the Inhumans?" Knowing that the Children of the Atom are on track to be the most represented superhero team in Marvel Rivals thrills my comic-eating heart.

Even when it is out of season, the Gingerbread House in Disney Dreamlight Valle has a lot of value to the wonderful Disney friends around you, like Mickey and Goofy. Here's how you can make it.

All Gingerbread House Disney Dreamlight Valley ingredients

To make a Gingerbread House, you'll need the following ingredients:

• Wheat
• Egg
• Vanilla
• Sugarcane
• Ginger

Wheat can be bought from Goofy's Stall in the Peaceful Meadow. It's super cheap as the ingredient itself is 2 Star Coins, while the seeds are 1 Star Coin. Both may be available at the stall. The seeds grow within a minute after getting planted and watered.

Eggs can be purchased at Chez Remy for 220 Star Coins after finishing the Ratatouille realm quests in the castle.

Vanilla is found within the Sunlit Plateau. Look at the ground, and you'll find a green plant with small yellow/white petals growing from within the grass. Pick it up, and you'll gain Vanilla for the recipe.

Sugarcane is found at Goofy's Stall in Dazzle Beach. You can buy its seeds for 5 Star Coins each. You can also make Cheesecake with this ingredient.

Lastly, Ginger can be found growing in the Forgotten Lands. This ingredient can be picked up like Vanilla. The green plant with regular, slightly lengthier leaves on it gives you Ginger.

Now it's time to make the 5-star dish

Once you have all of the ingredients, go to any cooking station at your house or in Chez Remy. Throw in all five ingredients together, and then you'll have a Gingerbread House in your inventory. You can sell it to Goofy's Stall for 545 Star Coins or eat it for 1,460 Energy points.

The Miracle Growth Elixir in Disney Dreamlight Valley lives up to its name as it instantly grows vegetables like Pumpkins and Lettuce. Thankfully, it's fairly easy to make by finding Vitalys Crystals and more from the game.

Miracle Growth Elixir Disney Dreamlight Valley ingredients

To create the awesome Miracle Growth Elixir in Disney Dreamlight Valley, you'll need the following ingredients:

• 10 Vitalys Crystals
• 10 Rich Soil
• 500 Dreamlight

Vitalys Crystals are found within a cave around the Sunlit Plateau called the Vitalys Mine. Look for the waterfall near a stone bridge to find it. You'll first want a companion with you, who has the Mining specialty, so the process becomes faster. Mine at the rocks that have a blue streak to them. Hit them with the pickaxe, and you have a good chance to get a Vitalys Crystal. Having a companion with you gives a chance of getting another Vitalys Crystal.

Rich Soil is gained by digging up the soil at any location, especially within the Plaza. This is a random drop. Having a digging specialty companion with you may help with the process too.

Dreamlight is gathered by completing quests and finishing Duties like taking a picture or collecting enough apples. You can check your objectives on the menu. It's under the first section "Dreamlight." You can also craft Dreamlight with Dream Shards.

How to use this elixir

Once you have all of the ingredients, go to any crafting station near your house or in Scrooge's store. You can find the Miracle Growth Elixir from the list of options.

Make sure to pick the correct potion. Once it's made, use it from your inventory menu. Then, equip the water can. Spray it on the crops you want to see grow instantly. You only have a few limited uses so pick your crops wisely.

The Amethyst in Disney Dreamlight Valley gem is a precious resource used for multiple quests and can help craft a special object to decorate your environments. Here's how to find the Amethyst so that you can help villagers like Ursula and Nala with their friendship quests.

Amethyst Disney Dreamlight Valley locations

Amethyst in Disney Dreamlight Valley can be spotted in two different locations within the original valley:

• Frosted Heights
• Forgotten Lands

Thankfully, you won't need any of the DLC to get this material. Head over to the Frosted Heights or Forgotten Lands and use your pickaxe to strike the rocks in the area. Also, take a buddy with you with the mining proficiency to gain bonus rewards from striking each rock. You'll also get that friendship level up.

How to Make a Purple Wrought Iron Streetlamp

Once you've gathered Amethyst, you can create a Purple Wrought Iron Streetlamp. To make that, you'll need the following:

• Two Glass
• Five Iron Ingots
• One Amethyst

You can create Iron Ingots at the crafting table by mixing Iron Ore and Coal Ore. You'll get those materials from mining rocks (and the number of resources grows when hanging out with a friend who has the mining specialty). Glass can be formed by crafting Sand and Coal Ore. Dig at the sand of Dazzle Beach with your shovel to get the resource.

If you don't want to make a Purple Wrought Iron Streetlamp, you can also sell Amethyst for 500 Star Coins at any of Goofy's stalls.

Lil Gator Game previously kept the whimsical fun going with additions like New Game+ and Baby Mode. Now, it's getting ready to explore the world further with a "huge game expansion" called In the Dark.

According to developer MegaWobble, the In the Dark expansion doubles the size of Lil Gator Game. As the title and key art implies, this one takes our adorable hero underground to explore caves, with the promise of meeting a bunch of new characters in the process. You can head underground for yourself in the announcement trailer below.

The new content is located on the main island within a previously blocked entrance. In addition to the new friends awaiting Lil Gator, there are also some teenage ne'er-do-wells threatening to put a stop to the cozy frivolity to which we've become so thoroughly accustomed. New item types, a ribbon-powered double jump, and more are on the way to add to the exploratory opportunities. 

Lil Gator Game: In the Dark is currently in the works for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch. At the time of this writing, there's no release date in place for the expansion, but there are options for both newcomers and returning players. The expansion will arrive alongside a 'Gator of the Year Edition' of the main game that bundles it with all the new content. 

In the meantime, if you want to see if the game is right for you, you can always check it out on Game Pass.

Marvel Rivals Season 1 is here, and it introduces Reed and Susan Richards of the Fantastic Four as playable characters. Marvel Rivals players worldwide, myself included, are already falling in love with Marvel's First Family's founding couple. However, Mister Fantastic is attracting a cult following amongst One Piece fans.

Across social media, Marvel Rivals players can't stop comparing Mister Fantastic to One Piece's eternally optimistic protagonist, Monkey D. Luffy. As a Marvel Comics and One Piece fan, I can't help but agree with them.

Marvel Rivals players can't get enough of Reed D. Richards

If you're even distantly familiar with the Fantastic Four or One Piece, you may have already seen these two elastic boys placed side-by-side for comparison on forums and blogs. Both characters are famous for having bodies made of rubber, and some circles of comics and anime fans have compared and contrasted the two years before Marvel Rivals or it's runaway success were even glimmers in NetEase Games' eyes.

However, within hours of Mister Fantastic's initial reveal trailer going live, people began noticing an uncanny parallel between Reed and Luffy that cut deeper than their surface-level similarities. Most of Reed's signature abilities see him inflate into an oversized version of himself, complete with puffed-up arms and fists that would make his rocky-skinned best friend, Ben "The Thing" Grimm, jealous.

With his beefed-up compressed body and mammoth limbs, Marvel Rivals' Mister Fantastic spends quite a lot of time looking like Luffy's Gear 4 form. If you aren't familiar with One Piece, this is the fourth version of the enhanced form Luffy takes when he uses his Devil Fruit powers to strengthen his body.

Mister Fantastic's pseudo-Gear 4 form is quickly becoming a meme among Marvel Rivals' player base. Many fans are flexing their artistic talent by sharing some outstanding fan art of "Reed D. Richards" on social media. Some are simple drawings that play up the joke, but others are full-on comics presenting Reed as the protagonist of a Shonen anime I want to read more about.

I've been reading Marvel comics and One Piece for years, and I'm honestly jealous I missed the similarities between Marvel's stretchiest genius and the Straw Hat Pirates' indomitable captain. Now that I've seen it, playing Mister Fantastic in Marvel Rivals has gotten even more fun.

Marvel Rivals will kick off the new year with a Galactus-sized update, update 20250110, that will significantly change the breakout hero shooter's competitive scene. Based on data collected throughout Marvel Rivals Season 0 from gameplay footage and community feedback, update 20250110 will make balance adjustments to heroes across the board.

Update 20250110 is a big update, one that will affect different heroes differently. Some underplayed heroes are getting big buffs to make them more appealing to play, while a few broken competitive juggernauts are getting de-buffed to help even the playing field. Here's everything you need to know about Marvel Rivals' January 2025 balance changes.

All Marvel Rivals Update 20250110 adjustments

As mentioned above, the Marvel Rivals update 20250110 is about balance, and it's not playing favorites with anyone. Some heroes are getting big buffs, including more health, faster skill cooldowns, and stat boosts to their primary and secondary abilities. Others are pulling shorter straws, losing some of their abilities' range or worse, having their general damage/healing output lowered.

Team-up abilities are also getting some rebalancing, which will cement or shake up some familiar team loadouts. Here are all the patch notes for Marvel Rivals update 20250110.

Vanguard Adjustments

Captain America

Following up on the first round in October 2024, Capcom is getting ready for another Monster Hunter Wilds open beta test. This one officially kicks off on February 6 with content from the first test and a new hunting opportunity.

The meat of the new content is the ability to hunt Gypceros, a returning monster from the series. Features from the first test include Character Creation, Story Trial, and the Slay Doshaguma Quest. If you already made a character in the first test, fear not, because that data can be carried over to the second. It can also be carried over to the full game when it launches, but that doesn't apply to game progress.

Watch as producer Ryozo Tsujimoto announces the test and schedule with his own eerily accurate custom character below.

There are two sessions planned, and you don't have to be subscribed to PlayStation Plus or Game Pass Core/Ultimate to try it out. Here's when you'll be able to play, complete with crossplay between the three platforms:

Monster Hunter Wilds open beta 2 schedule 

• Starts: Thursday, February 6, 2025 at 7:00 p.m. PT
• Ends: Sunday, February 9, 2025 at 6:59 p.m. PT

• Starts: Thursday, February 13, 2025 at 7:00 p.m. PT
• Ends:  Sunday, February 16, 2025 at 6:59 p.m. PT

There are also special bonuses in store for everyone who participates in the beta test. A decorative charm for your weapon or Seikret, as well as an item pack, can all be redeemed in the full game. 

According to Tsujimoto, they heard from a lot of players who either missed out on the first test or just want to play again. That prompted the planning for the upcoming test. He added that the team is still hard at work finishing the game, with adjustments and improvements underway that won't make it into the second beta in time. We'll see how those improvements stack up when Monster Hunter Wilds launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam on February 28.

The Dynasty Warriors series is known to feature co-op, letting you team up with a friend to take on waves upon waves of enemies on screen. With the higher graphical quality on offer, however, does Dynasty Warriors: Origins co-op exist?

Can you play Dynasty Warriors: Origins co-op?

Dynasty Warriors: Origins is a much-anticipated release for this month, and many fans are likely expecting the next game to be fully co-op. Well, I'm sorry to burst your Musou bubble. Dynasty Warriors: Origins, at this moment in time, has no co-op features.

On Steam, the game listing clearly states that the game is "Single-player" above other tags, including Steam Achievements, Steam Trading Cards, Steam Cloud, and HDR available.

The lack of co-op multiplayer could be due to the game's bigger scope compared to past entries in the series. "I’m happy to say the scale is bigger than ever in Origins, with more enemy and army counts on the battlefield than I’m pretty sure, well, ever," said our hands-on preview in November 2024. "In fact, with a somewhat more direct approach to combat compared to other entries in the series, you can actually find yourself quickly overwhelmed by how many enemies are actually on the battlefield." It's too bad that we won't have a friend with us when we feel "overwhelmed" by the number of enemies on screen.

Other action co-op games to try

In addition to some earlier entries in the series, like Dynasty Warriors 8 and Samurai Warriors 5, there are other awesome multiplayer action games out there you can try instead if you're bummed about Dynasty Warriors: Origins lacking a co-op mode.

Ghost of Tsushima: Legends is a PS4- and PS5-exclusive title by Sucker Punch. It takes you through some vivid levels with stellar combat and a gorgeous art style. Another series that lets you take on enemies together in a strategic manner is Monster Hunter.

If you want a local co-op experience, however, Darksiders Genesis might do the trick. It plays similarly to the Diablo series. The developer "Airship Syndicate went all out with providing full freedom of movement so each character is fun to use at any point, all the way down to the Devil May Cry-like floating after leaping into the air and firing off dual pistols," said our 8 out of 10 review. "There’s combos, but not so many that it gets absurd."

Tekka Maki in Disney Dreamlight Valley is a tasty Japanese dish you can make for your pals like Donald and Mickey. Unfortunately, the ingredients take a long while to grow.

All Tekka Maki Disney Dreamlight Valley ingredients

Tekka Maki can be made with the following ingredients in Disney Dreamlight Valley:

• Tuna
• Seaweed
• Soya
• Rice

Tuna can be fished from the waters of Glade of Trust and Forgotten Lands in the original valley. The ingredient can be found in white ripples within the water.

Seaweed can be found in a similar spot to Tuna. Use your fishing rod and set the feed to a place outside of ripples within any spot in the Valley. You should get Seaweed pretty quickly. This ingredient is also used to feed turtles in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Soya can be purchased from Goofy's Stall in the Lion King-themed Sunlit Plateau. The clumsy character sells the green beans' seeds for 60 Star Coins. It annoyingly grows within one hour and 30 minutes. You can speed up the process with some Miracle Growth Elixir.

Rice is also bought from Goofy's Stall, this time in the Glade of Trust. The seeds are 35 Star Coins each, while the ingredient itself is 92 Star Coins each. Rice is a little quicker to grow than Soya and takes 50 minutes. Rice can also be used to make another Japanese dish, Sake Maki, which includes Salmon instead of Tuna.

Once you have all the ingredients, go to a cooking station at your home or Chez Remy. Then, place them all into the pot to create your Tekka Maki. It can be sold for 366 Star Coins or consumed for 984 Energy. Now, you have the delicious recipe in your culinary repertoire!

There's tons of content in Waframe's 1999 update, but its biggest new mode is undoubtedly the PvPvE Faceoff mode. However, this mode has had a mixed reception in the Warframe community.

Before we dive into what's going on, take a look at all the new modes added in, whether Faceoff is worth running for Conclave standing, and how to start dating. Now, keep reading to learn everything you'll need to know about what folks think of the new Faceoff mode in Warframe.

What's going on with Faceoff in Warframe

In general, Warframe players really appreciate a new way to earn Conclave standing, and the PvPvE approach with Faceoff feels, to many, like a better fit for Warframe than did the game's now-dead suite of PvP modes, but that doesn't mean Faceoff's current state is perfect.

Gamers have a variety of issues with Faceoff, but some are likely bugs or simply unintentional, not design that needs to be tweaked. This includes the biggest problem with Faceoff right now: the health and general tankiness of Assassination mobs. In short, they're too spongy.

Another similar issue is matchmaking. Currently, queuing into the mode can take a while, and every match begins with up to a few minutes of waiting around for it to start. Plus, the mode is currently plagued by disconnections, host migrations, and other problems of that nature.

That said, there are a number of other issues players are having with Faceoff that aren't obvious glitches or unintended interactions. Here are some of the top complaints:

• Too much RNG for a competitive mode: some objectives require you to randomly drop items from enemies or get enough enemies to spawn nearby, and this makes for a very unfair feeling experience when those things don't go your way but do for the other team.
• Conclave standing rewards for playing Faceoff are way too low. Missions for other syndicates can award you 9,000 standing or more in a single match when Faceoff is capped at 3,000. Plus, you only get 1,500 standing if you don't manage to win, which isn't always guaranteed.
• The other team disconnecting means you'll get worse rewards for completing the mission — the same rewards you get for playing the squad vs AI version of Faceoff. If you're playing Faceoff for standing, that means you won't get any standing at all for finishing the mission.

This isn't a comprehensive list of every problem people have with Faceoff, but these are some of the biggest ones right now. While there are many complaints out there, many are also giving their take on ways Digital Extremes can improve the overall Faceoff experience.

How Faceoff in Warframe could get a lot better

Once the defenses of Assassination mobs gets adjusted and a few matchmaking upgrades are implemented, players still have a ton of ideas on how to make Faceoff itself better:

• Mirror spawns, modifiers on enemies, and objective locations for both teams. Then, matches won't feel one-sided when a particular team gets blessed with good RNG and the other doesn't, forcing one a loss and guaranteeing one a win — assuming the losers don't quit.
• Increase standing rewards by at least 50-100% to keep pace with standing rewards from other syndicate missions. Even 3,000 standing for a loss and 6,000 standing for a win wouldn't be an especially large amount to earn in a single match when it comes to Warframe missions.
• If a team disconnects or quits, allow the remaining team to earn the same rewards they would have initially. This means that instead of a team getting punished for staying in a match, they'll get rewarded with a free win, instead of getting their time wasted.

Others suggest making the buffs and debuffs you can find more relevant, making objective indicators clearer, and better explaining how all the various mechanics of the mode work in-game. But it's still early days for the 1999 update, so many are still getting their thoughts together.

It seems inevitable Digital Extremes will make changes to the mode, once the developers get back from Christmas vacation, but it remains to be seen exactly what's going to change. For that, we'll all have to wait and find out. For now, though, you may want to hold off grinding Faceoff.

One of the most surprising additions to Warframe: 1999 is the Backroom, a brand-new take on player housing that gives players their own apartment to decorate. However, you're going to need quite a few different decorations to furnish the Backroom fully, so where can you get those?

Before we even get into decorations, make sure you learn everything you need to know about the Backroom and other important 1999 additions like the calendar system and all the new modes added. If you're ready to decorate, read on to learn where you can get the best decorations.

What to know about decorations in Warframe

Firstly, the Backroom has its own unique 1999 style, and since new decorations haven't been added with the 1999 update, there isn't a series of decorations that perfectly match the Backroom. Also, even if you remove the built-in furnishings of the Backroom, a few will still be left behind.

For decorations in general, it's worth keeping in mind that you'll need as many of a certain decoration as you want to place, so you can't place multiple copies of something if you only own one. You also can't place the same decoration in the Backroom and elsewhere if you only own one.

If you plan on stuffing your Backroom absolutely full of decorations, don't expect this to be done in an afternoon, either. Acquiring decorations mostly means spending syndicate standing, and thanks to daily standing caps, the Backroom will likely be something you decorate over time.

Zariman decorations in Warframe

The vendor Hombask, located in the Chysalith on the Zariman Ten Zero, is arguably the single most important place to find decorations for the backroom. Hombask sells a ton of different decorations, but you can find a lot of normal-living-space-type furnishings there.

So, expect to find benches, rugs, tables, lamps, and the like. Beyond that, though, what's particularly relevant to the backroom are the walls you can buy from Hombask. There are a few different varieties, but these will be essential to setting up different rooms in your new place.

As you might expect, you purchase these decorations with The Holdfasts standing. Playing Chrysalith bounties, particularly on Steel Path, is an effective way of acquiring standing. Make sure to search out as many Voidplumes as you can in each mission for extra standing.

Sanctum decorations in Warframe

The vendor Bird 3, located in Sanctum Anatomica on Deimos, is another important place to find decorations for the Backroom, albeit less so than the Zariman. Bird 3 sells a rotating selection of items, most of which are luxurious, golden furniture pieces and lighting fixtures.

Five items are offered each week, out of a total of 13, so it takes three weeks to fully cycle. Unfortunately, you can only purchase one of each decoration each week. We'd recommend checking in with Bird 3 each week to see if anything catches your eye, so you don't miss out.

Like the Zariman, you purchase these decorations with Cavia standing. Playing Sanctum Anatomica bounties, once again on Steel Path, is a great way of getting standing. While doing so, you can pick up various Voca that can be exchanged for more standing with Loid.

Duviri decorations in Warframe

The vendor Acrithis, located in the Dormizone on the Zariman Ten Zero, also sells a variety of interesting decorations that can fit well in the Backroom. Acrithis has a static selection of decorations, and they're mostly furniture with a Duvuri aesthetic, so think elegant earth tones.

While these decorations don't rotate, you can only purchase them with Enigma Gyrums, a resource unique to Duviri. You can earn Enigma Gyrums by completing Duviri Enigmas, which are puzzles found in Duviri's 'The Duviri Experience' mode. That's the only way to get them.

Since you can't buy these with standing, they do require more effort to unlock, so we'd recommend taking a look at Acrithis' wares to decide if the decorations he offers are worth buying. The Duviri Experience is a good way to get resources for Incarnons, however—so two birds, one stone.

Market decorations in Warframe

The last major place to get decorations is Warframe's in-game shop. Of course, that means they'll cost you Platinum. As always, one of the best ways to earn Platinum quickly is by cracking open relics and selling the various Prime parts you get via trading, but there are other ways, too.

There isn't a specific theme to the decorations available on the market, and there are a lot of them. However, most of the decorations on the market are trinkets. Think little tchotchkes or posters. So, you won't find much in the way of walls or furniture like you can at the above spots.

Decorations on the market are cheap, but they'll add up quickly, and considering how precious Platinum is as a resource, you might want to focus your energies on decorations from the Zariman first and foremost, since there's a wide variety available.

One of Warframe: 1999's biggest additions to the game is its romance system. Like real life, though, starting up a relationship in Warframe isn't necessarily easy, and it can take some time.

Before you even think about romance, you'll need to play the 1999 quest, decide who you want to date, and understand the new seasonal system. Beyond that, here's how to start dating ASAP.

How Chemistry works in Warframe

Chemistry is your 'relationship XP' in Warframe, and it's represented by your Chemistry Rank. There are six ranks in the game, and they are as follows:

• Neutral
• Friendly
• Liked
• Trusted
• Close
• Best Friends / Loved

You need to hit certain Chemistry Ranks with each Hex syndicate member to have the option to date them. Although, the rank required varies from Hex member to Hex member. Plus, depending on your interactions with the members, they might not want to date you.

Chemistry Rank is gated by your rank in the Hex syndicate. So, you'll need to be a certain rank in the syndicate to level up to certain Chemistry Ranks. However, any Chemistry you earn will be 'banked' for use later on whenever you hit the appropriate syndicate level.

This means that even if you're at the maximum Chemistry Rank with your current syndicate level, once you level up the syndicate, any additional earned Chemistry will then be applied to your Chemistry Rank. No need to worry about wasting any Chemistry you manage to earn.

Here are what ranks in the Hex syndicate you'll need to hit which Chemistry Ranks:

• Friendly: Fresh Slice (Rank 2)
• Liked: 2-for-1 (Rank 3)
• Trusted: Hot & Fresh (Rank 4)
• Close: Pizza Party (Rank 5)

How to earn Chemistry quickly in Warframe: 1999

There are three ways to earn Chemistry in Warframe: sending gifts, messaging, and completing side objectives on 1999 bounties. Luckily, you can't lose Chemistry, only gain it.

As you get to know a Hex syndicate member, their messaging profile will give you information on what sort of gifts they'll like, or you can check out our guide on the best gifts to give every member. You can only send a gift once per day, though, and the wrong gift won't increase Chemistry.

You can also acquire Chemistry by chatting with a Hex syndicate member. You can have one chat per day, although, like with gifts, Chemistry gains are not always guaranteed, depending on how your conversation goes. Saying too many wrong things might even make you undateable.

The only guaranteed way to earn Chemistry is via 1999 bounties. Each of the six available 1999 bounties is tied to a specific Hex syndicate member, and if you complete the optional side objective during a bounty, you'll earn Chemistry with the respective member. This can be done once each day.

Lastly, as you progress through 1999's seasonal calendar, the birthday of each member will come up, and you can choose to have a special birthday conversation when those arrive. This will give you another chance at earning Chemistry outside of your normal daily chatting.

So, if you want to earn Chemistry as fast as possible, you'll need to do the following:

• Chat every day
• Send a gift every day
• Complete bounty side objectives every day
• Send a birthday message when you can

How to rank up the Hex syndicate quickly in Warframe

Earning Chemistry is only one part of the puzzle. To hit the higher Chemistry Ranks, you'll need to be leveling up your Hex syndicate, too. Like with the other syndicates in the game, ranking up the Hex is a pretty straightforward process, gated only by your daily standing cap.

The best way to level up the Hex syndicate is by playing bounties, particularly the Steel Path variant of bounties. It's even better if, during bounties, you search for and pick up Hex Treasures. Six types of Hex Treasures can all be traded in for Hex standing:

• Big Bytes Pizza — 2,500 standing
• Argon Burger Meal — 1,500 standing
• 35mm Film — 750 standing
• Cheddar Crowns Cereal — 750 standing
• Mood Crystal — 750 standing
• Chuggin' Along Sixpack — 750 standing
• On-Lyne CD — 750 standing
• The Countessa Comic — 750 standing

You can memorize where treasures appear just by playing missions, but using the Parallax Landing Craft with its Orokin Eye air support is easier. Simply use this ability in a mission, and all Hex Treasures within a 150m radius will get highlighted for you to grab.

How to start dating someone in Warframe: 1999

Once you hit the required Chemistry Rank with a Hex syndicate member (and the corresponding Hex syndicate rank), you'll be presented with a new dialogue option when you visit that character in the Höllvania Central Mall. You can choose to start up a relationship from there.

You can also start (or end) relationships over messaging, but messaging can be unpredictable, so you're probably better off just visiting the person in question directly once your Chemistry is ranked up. Similarly, once you start a relationship, you can break up the same way.

Once you've begun a relationship, you'll get to have a New Year's Eve kiss with your partner when the 1999 seasonal cycle is over. A season takes place over the course of a month in real-time, so your first opportunity will be on January 12th, 2025.

Remember that there's only this one chance for the kiss in a given cycle, and you can only get a kiss with a Hex syndicate member you're currently dating. After the cycle resets, you can reset your relationship progress, start over, and date someone new in the next cycle.

Feeling lonely? Well, if you're a Warframe player, you won't have to anymore, thanks to a new romance system in the 1999 update. But just how many partners can you rack up?

Before we get into how high your virtual, shall we say, body count can go, you should take a look at who your options are, how the new calendar system works, and make sure to complete the 1999 quest. Once that's all done, read on to learn exactly how many people you can romance in Warframe: 1999.

You can romance one person at a time in Warframe: 1999, but...

The romance system works in Warframe by leveling up your relationship with people to a certain level, and you'll have the option to start a relationship with them. Once the in-game 1999 calendar cycles through a year or a real-time month, you'll get a New Year's Eve kiss with them.

You can only romance one person at a time, but you can break up with somebody if your heart has focused on somebody else. However, since you'll only have one chance throughout a monthly cycle to have a New Year's Kiss, you can only 'fully' romance one person in a month.

At the time of writing, the first Warframe: 1999 cycle will end on January 12th, 2025. Once a cycle is complete, you can reset your progress, wiping all your conversation history and setting your relationship levels with all the people you can romance back to zero.

As a note, the group chat you have with all the Hex syndicate members will not be reset after a monthly cycle ends, and your standing with the Hex syndicate will also be independent of the romance system and seasonal cycle of Warframe: 1999 content. Resetting is just for relationships.

So, while you can only see one romance through to the end in a month, you can date every member of the Hex squad over time if you so choose.

How breaking up works in Warframe: 1999

Once you're in a relationship with someone, you can initiate a breakup by visiting the person in question at the Höllvania Central Mall and selecting the 'Break Up' dialogue. Depending on the personality of the person in question, you may or may not be able to get back together.

We'd suggest only breaking up with somebody if you're totally sure they aren't the right one for you. Make sure you're careful when messaging your partner, as breakups can also be initiated through the messaging system, just as relationships can be started over a message, too.

There's a ton of new content in Warframe: 1999, including two new rifles and a new pistol: the Reconifex, the AX-52, and the Vesper 77. But how do you get your hands on them?

Keep reading to find out exactly what you'll need to do, and once you get your weapons, check out our builds for the Reconifex, Vesper 77, and AX-52 to get you to slaying ASAP.

How to get the Reconifex in Warframe

Firstly, you can buy the Reconifex from the in-game shop directly for 240p. However, that's not the only way to acquire its weapon. You can also buy its blueprints from Amir of the Hex syndicate once you reach rank four. Here are the standing costs and crafting materials required:

• Reconfiex Blueprint: 15,000 standing to buy. 30,000 credits, a Reconifex Barrel, a Reconifex Reciever, and a Reconifex Stock to craft.
• Reconifex Barrel Blueprint: 5,000 standing to buy. 20,000 credits, 40 Techrot Chitin, 10 Techrot Motherboards, 2 Neural Sensors, and 1 Argon Crystal to craft.
• Reconifex Reciever Blueprint: 5,000 standing to buy. 20,000 credits, 60 Efervon Samples, 60 Höllvanian Pitchweave Fragments, 15 Experimental Arc-Relays, and 500 Ferrite to craft.
• Reconifex Stock Blueprint: 5,000 standing to buy. 20,000 credits, 60 Höllvanian Pitchweave Fragments, 30 Techrot Chitin, 8 Techrot Motherboards, and 1 Orokin Cell to craft.

You can also drop all of the above blueprints by playing 1999 missions. You can check out exactly what missions drop, which blueprint, and the drop rates on the Wiki. However, chances are quite low, so you're better off playing missions for standing and hoping to get lucky.

How to get the Vesper 77 in Warframe

Like the Reconifex, you can buy the Vesper 77 from the in-game shop for 200p. Once again, that's not the only way to get it, though. You can buy its blueprints from Amir of the Hex syndicate once you reach rank three. Here are the standing costs and crafting materials required:

• Vesper 77 Blueprint: 15,000 standing to buy. 20,000 credits, a Vesper 77 Barrel, a Vesper 77 Reciever, and a Vesper 77 Handle to craft.
• Vesper 77 Barrel Blueprint: 5,000 standing to buy. 20,000 credits, 40 Höllvanian Pitchweave Fragments, 16 Techrot Chitin, 20 Experimental Arc-Relays, and 1 Argon Crystal to craft.
• Vesper 77 Reciever Blueprint: 5,000 standing to buy. 20,000 credits, 80 Efervon Samples, 16 Techrot Chitin, 12 Techrot Motherboards, and 300 Salvage to craft.
• Vesper 77 Handle Blueprint: 5,000 standing to buy. 20,000 credits, 80 Efervon Samples, 40 Techrot Chitin, 6 Techrot Motherboards, and 200 Polymer Bundles to craft.

You can drop Vesper 77 blueprints from 1999 missions, too. Check out the Wiki for the list of which missions reward which parts, as well as drop rates. However, dropping the parts is rare, so you're better off playing the missions for standing and lucking into maybe dropping a blueprint.

How to get the AX-52 in Warframe

Unlike the weapons above, you can't buy the AX-52 from the in-game shop. And while you can buy its blueprint from Amir of the Hex syndicate once you reach rank four for 30,000 standing, you can craft it directly without needing to craft other parts for it. The materials required are as follows:

• 20,000 credits
• 80 Efervon Samples
• 40 Techrot Chitin
• 6 Techrot Motherboards
• 200 Polymer Bundles

There isn't a chance to drop the blueprint for the AX-52 by playing 1999 content, so you'll have to focus on grinding up the Hex syndicate to rank four and then acquiring the 30,000 standing necessary to purchase the blueprint. As mentioned above, though, there are no component parts to buy.

The post How to unlock all the new weapons in Warframe: 1999 appeared first on Destructoid.

More than a few new guns were added in Warframe: 1999, including the Vesper 77. This silenced pistol certainly looks like a good fit for a game about space ninjas, but how should you build it?

If you're hungry for new weapons, make sure to check out the Reconifex and Cyte-09's Neutralizer, as well as all the new mods in the game. But if you're ready to build a pistol, keep reading.

How to build the Vesper 77 in Warframe

The unique trait on the Vesper 77 is increased critical chance when aiming and weak point highlighting. However, the weak point build for this gun isn't nearly as versatile as a more standard Galvanized Shot setup, so that's what we've gone with to make this accessible to any frame.

Of course, you'll get to use the increased critical chance, and you can shoot at highlighted weak points to your heart's content. The premise of this build is to build viral and heat to multiply the damage you deal and scale off of Galvanized Shot while pumping up critical damage.

Our arcane, Cascadia Flare, scales nicely with the infliction of the heat status, which won't be hard to do thanks to a healthy dose of multishot and a solid increase in fire rate. Altogether, you can take down level 200 enemies in just a few shots, no matter what frame you've got.

The best mods for the Vesper 77 in Warframe

Simply shoot at your enemies to start inflicting statuses and getting heat procs, and once the first few guys are defeated, your damage will quickly skyrocket, allowing you to easily take down groups. You will have to reload regularly, though, since your magazine only has eight rounds.

Arcane: Cascadia Flare

Exilus: Steady Hands

Mods:

• Pistol Pestilence
• Frostbite
• Primed Heated Charge
• Primed Pistol Gambit
• Primed Target Cracked
• Lethal Torrent
• Galvanized Diffusion
• Galvanized Shot

You can opt for corrosive instead of viral if you'd like. The important thing here is just to make sure you don't dwarf your heat damage with other types of damage, as inflicting the heat status is essential to scaling your overall damage with the Cascadia Flare arcane this build uses.

If you'd like to play around with a weak point build, you can remove the multishot mods here in favor of Pistol Acuity for a massive increase to weak point damage, while Frostbite and Pistol Pestilence can be replaced with Galvanized Crosshairs and Primed Convulsion.

You won't need Primed Pistol Gambit with Galvanized Crosshairs, so with the spaces left, you can slot in your favorite base damage mods. Lastly, a weak point build will want to run the Secondary Deadhead arcane to truly maximize headshot damage. Just make sure to hit your shots.

Magma in Disney Dreamlight Valley is a resource that's needed for quests and to make some cool items in the game, like the Madrigal Family Door. It can be found only in the DLC called The Storybook Vale.

Magma location in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Magma is a resource dropped in the new land of Mythopia within the Storybook Vale realm. It's the Grecian-inspired area reigned by the God Hades, who is separated from the Mistress of All Evil Maleficent.

Go to any location in Mythopia and mine the rocks from there. There is a chance to get Magma or even Shiny Magma from these rocks. Bring along a buddy who has the Mining specialty attached to them. You're more likely to get Magma from each rock while mining it, but it also increases their friendship level, opening up new quests and items for you. It's a win-win.

What can you make with Magma?

You'll need Magma for four different Hades quests, including 20 for the Fine, I'll Do It Myself friendship quest with the Lord of the Dead. However, there are also some items you can craft with Magma. The Madrigal Family Door, for instance, is unlocked after finishing the Re-order puzzle. The recipe asks for the following:

• 2 Magma
• 5 Gold Ingots
• 5 Gravel
• 5 Lightning Spice
• 500 Storybook Magic

Gold Ingots can be crafted by merging Gold Nuggets and Coal Ore together, or you can buy them at Kristoff's Stall. Gravel can be picked up by shoveling dirt in Mythopia (I had more luck in The Elysian Fields), and Lightning Spice is a herb that can be picked up in Mythopia, too. The last ingredient is hard to miss because it's bright yellow.

Pure Ice in Disney Dreamlight Valley is a wintry resource that can be gathered to craft items like the Fountain of Thebes and finish quests. This is only available in The Storybook Vale expansion.

Where to find Pure Ice in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Have your pickaxe ready in Disney Dreamlight Valley? Good. Head over to Everafter and hit the rocks in this new area to get Pure Ice. Everafter is the area inspired by Sleeping Beauty, which is being run by the Mistress of All Evil Maleficent. Magma is gathered in Mythopia, Hades' domain. You can also find Volcanic Rock in this area within the Disney Dreamlight Valley DLC.

It has a lower chance of appearing, but you'll eventually find Pure Ice. Make sure you're with a pal in Disney Dreamlight Valley who is proficient at mining. This gives you a chance of getting even more Pure Ice, while increasing their friendship level. Pure Ice's opposite Magma can also be retrieved by mining rocks in Mythopia.

What is this resource used for?

Pure Ice is used for multiple quests in The Storybook Vale DLC. It's also an ingredient within crafting recipes like The Stained Glass Window to Imagination.

You'll need the following to make The Stained Glass Window to Imagination:

• 2 Pure Ice
• 20 Broken Weapons
• 5 Dusty Violet Roses
• 5 Fuchsia Eternal Poppies

You can also make a neat Agrabah Chair by crafting the item with the following ingredients from The Storybook Vale:

• 1 Sorcerer Hat Hermit Crab
• 5 Iron Ingots
• 500 Story Magic

Although there were a lot of good contenders in our Xbox nominee list, only one could emerge victorious. The winner for Destructoid's best Xbox game of 2024 goes to Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, a worthy sequel that any Yakuza fan would enjoy.

If there's one thing I learned as a Like a Dragon/Yakuza fan, it's that these games are never condensed to a singular genre. Sure, at first glance, you could just write Infinite Wealth off as a classic JRPG, but it's much more than that. On the one hand, you could see it as a sports game, with its many athletic adventures. On the other hand, it could be used as a dating app simulator, as you chat and meet up with various characters. That's what I love about Infinite Wealth and the rest of the Like a Dragon series, for that matter. It's not just one thing; it's practically everything.

As a sequel, Infinite Wealth took note of the elements that worked in Yakuza: Like a Dragon and improved it in ways to make the experience much more inviting. I'll admit I was initially hesitant with the whole turned-based combat change from the original, but fortunately, Infinite Wealth brought in some quality-of-life updates, specifically with the option to move the character around on the battlefield. There are also a lot more ways to get around the map, including the two new systems with the Trolley and Street Surfer.

The cast is just as lovable as the first one. Ichiban is still the same whimsical guy, getting into the weirdest situations that always make for incredibly entertaining gameplay. But, of course, we can't forget about Infinite Wealth's other major protagonist, aka the Fourth Chairman of the Tojo Clan, aka the Dragon of Dojima. Yes, I'm talking about the man, the myth, the legend, Kazuma Kiryu. Although Yakuza 6 was meant to be his last hoorah, I'm more than happy to see his return to the franchise once more.  

To top it off, we're also getting another comeback with the Mad Dog himself, Goro Majima. Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is already on its way out in early 2025, and I wouldn't be surprised if this one also made it to our next best-of Xbox game lineup. Nevertheless, there are definitely some heavy hitters for the platform in 2025, including Avowed and Fable. We're just going to have to see who will take it home next year.

Nominees for Best Xbox Game of 2024

• Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
• Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
• Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl
• Aaero 2
• Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
• Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II
• Call of Duty: Black Ops 6

The post Destructoid’s award for the best Xbox Game of 2024 goes to… appeared first on Destructoid.

I must admit, despite not being the biggest fan of the overall franchise, I've been thoroughly enjoying Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Troy Baker's solid impersonation of the titular whip-slinger is absolutely spot-on. However, it appears that some players have had problems making use of Indy's iconic item.

In the most recent patch - the aptly named Update 2 – MachineGames has sent forth a few fixes for The Great Circle. There have been a couple of tweaks to some of the missions in which Gina isn't pulling her weight, for example.

However, the one that stood out for me in the official patch notes is the bit that says the studio has fixed an issue in which the player "may be unable to equip Indy’s whip." I've been lucky not to have experienced this problem, but imagine a world in which you get to play Indiana Jones but are unable to use his whip. It'd be like Spider-Man without his web-shooting abilities, Doom Guy without the Super Shotgun, or any Keanu Reeves film where he doesn't get to say "whoa."

Couldn't bear it!

Update 2 also fixes a few PC-specific things in the game, mostly related to Nvidia. For example, the patch should sort out performance problems for DLSS and Low Latency Mode. So, if you're playing on PC, hopefully, you'll see some improvements going forward.

For any streamers out there, there is one note at the bottom of the patch notes that says content creators "may have experienced crashes in the game if using OBS Studio software to capture video." Updating OBS to version 31.0.0 should sort this. Thought it was worth mentioning here.

Other than that, it's business as usual. As I said above, I think Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a solid game overall, and I say that as someone who hasn't really been overly keen on MachineGames' past work (save for the Quake 2 maps the team did for the recent remaster). It's been getting some pretty great reviews overall, and it might actually inspire me to go back and watch the films again.

Warframe: 1999 is packed to the gills with new content, including three all-new game modes, as well as a twist on a familiar one. But the game doesn't necessarily explain how to play them all.

Before you dive into the new game modes, though, check out the new frame, Cyte-09, how to build him, and how his sniper rifle works. Then, it's time to sink your teeth into the 1999 game modes.

How to play Hell-Scrub in Warframe

Hell-Scrub is, essentially, a new version of Survival in Warframe. It comes in two flavors: Scaldra and Techrot. These play the same, just with enemies of each respective faction.

This mode plays like traditional Survival, but instead of life support capsules, there are Hell-Scrubbers. These still provide life support when you interact with them, but they can be infected by Techrot spores, which can be removed by destroying them with your weapons or abilities.

If a Hell-Scrubber is taken over by the Techrot, it will spawn a Techrot Babau. When killed, the Babau will drop life support, but it'll be less than what you'd get from a Hell-Scrubber. However, there are a few new mods added in the 1999 update dropped from Techrot Babaus.

Simply activate Hell-Scrubbers as necessary, and you can extract after five minutes.

How to play Legacyte Harvest in Warframe

Legacyte Harvest is a unique mode in Warframe, but it plays somewhat like Disruption. In Legacyte Harvest, you follow Kalymos underground and guard her as a gauge fills up. Once filled, a Legacyte will spawn in, which is a particularly chunky enemy with a lot of health.

Kalymos is invulnerable, but the gauge will not fill up if she's taking damage. Normally, the gauge will fill up by 1% per second, but Pheroglands may drop from nearby enemies that can be picked up to increase the gauge by 15% at once. Either way, filling up the gauge doesn't take long

Once you damage a Legacyte down to half health, it will begin running away towards a Techrot Umbilix. The Umbilix can be destroyed, but if left alone, the Legacyte will use the Umbilix to escape, failing the mission if a Legacyte hasn't already been defeated at least once.

After you fully deplete its health, the Legacyte is downed and can be captured. You can extract after capturing a Legacyte, or you can continue on and capture more Legacytes.

How to play Faceoff in Warframe

Faceoff is a PvPvE mode, the first mode of this kind in Warframe, and by playing it you can earn Conclave standing as opposed to Hex syndicate standing. This mode plays with two squads of four people, and the goal is to complete a series of three objectives faster than the other squad.

There are two Faceoff missions: one is the squad vs squad version mentioned and shown above, and the other is Faceoff: Single Squad, where your squad competes with an AI squad. The modes play the same, but if you play against the AI, you get fewer rewards than in squad vs squad.

Vosfor and the new arcanes added in 1999 are the primary rewards for this mode, although you can earn Steel Essence by playing Faceoff on Steel Path. As you'd expect, winning against another squad (not against the AI) will earn you more rewards than you'll get by losing.

The three objectives you complete during the mission are randomized, but they can be familiar tasks like Exterminate or Assassination as well as a number of tasks unique to Faceoff:

• Data Burn: Transfer the data. This plays like Excavation. A server will begin transferring data, and you need to keep the server powered with gas cans carried by enemies. Once an enemy with a gas can is defeated, it will drop, and you can pick it up to bring it over to the server.
• Techrot Scan: Keep your scanner alive. This plays like Defense, except you're protecting a scanner. Jammers spawn that you can destroy to reduce the time you have to protect your scanner. If your scanner is destroyed, the timer stops until the scanner revives itself.
• Pirate Radio: Maintain your broadcast. Like Techrot Scan, you'll protect your radio as it floats around on a balloon. Jammers spawn that you can destroy to reduce the protection time required. If your radio fails, the timer stops until the balloon revives itself.
• Lockbox: Unlock the box. Marked areas on the map can be searched to find keys. Deliver the keys to your lockbox, and once five keys have been delivered, the objective is complete. Fail to deliver all five keys before the timer expires, and your lockbox will explode instead.

While you complete these objectives, you can find various boosts for your team as well as penalties for the other team. Check out the patch notes to find the full list of boosts and penalties.

How to play Exterminate in Warframe: 1999

Exterminate in Warframe: 1999 plays like, well, Exterminate. But there is a new optional objective in 1999 Exterminate missions: opening Scaldra Supply Caches. Opening these caches awards you with one of the new arcanes added in the 1999 update but also sends in stronger enemies.

To open a Scaldra Supply Cache, you'll need to find Efervon Charges. You need as many Efervon Charges as you have squad members plus one. So, with a full squad, you'll need to find five Efervon Charges. Efervon Charges are located near the cache, but you will have to search for them.

Pillars of green light mark Efervon Charges, and if you're close enough to one, a yellow indicator will appear directly on top of it. Efervon Charge locations are static, but they're tied to where the cache spawns, and the cache can spawn in different places on the map.

Warframe: 1999 is here, but with it has come a bunch of systems, including a full-blown romance mechanic. A big part of that, though, is the calendar and its accompanying seasons.

Before you worry about new systems, make sure to get the new frame, Cyte-09, and try out a build for him. But keep reading to learn everything you need to know about Warframe: 1999's calendar, its seasons, Hex Overrides, and all the weekly tasks you'll want to make sure you do.

Warframe: 1999's calendar and seasons explained

The calendar in Warframe: 1999 is basically a to-do list of tasks you can complete over the course of a month. Each real-time week is its own 'season' that's divided into three in-game calendar months. A real-time month, then, comes out to a year on the calendar.

Each week, you have a season's worth of objectives to complete. These can only be done in Höllvania, but the specific mission doesn't matter. These objectives run the gamut, so sometimes you might be getting ability kills, other times you might be defeating Scaldra.

As you complete objectives, you'll unlock various rewards. These also run the gamut, but you can get some pretty valuable drops, like Archon Shards. Beyond just loot, though, as you go through the seasons, you'll come to each Hex syndicate member's birthday on the calendar.

If you choose to, you can have special little birthday interactions with each member, which will in turn work towards leveling up your relationship with that member. Aside from rewards and birthdays, there's one last thing to unlock in the calendar: Hex Overrides.

Hex Overrides in Warframe explained

Hex Overrides are basically buffs that apply to your Warframes when playing 1999 content. These aren't Warframe-specific like infusions in the Helminth, though, and they'll apply to whatever Warframe you choose to load into Höllvania with — but only in Höllvania missions.

Whatever Hex Overrides you select will remain in effect until the end of a calendar year, so that's a month in real-time. The season resets every week, but your Hex Overrides will carry over until the end of a monthly cycle when you'll have the chance to pick new Hex Overrides all over again.

Hex Overrides are broken down into two types: Hex Boosts and Hex Factors.

Hex Boosts are passive stat buffs, so you might find a Hex Boost that increases your melee attack speed. Some Hex Boosts are stackable, so you can choose the same one multiple times, if given the option. Although, you might not be guaranteed the chance to stack the one you want.

Hex Factors are active buffs, so you might find a Hex Factor that gives you electricity damage when bullet jumping. These effects aren't stackable, so whatever Hex Factor you pick is the Hex Factor you'll get, and you won't get a chance to upgrade or reselect it later.

As a note, Hex Overrides are, on the calendar, associated with specific Hex Syndicate members, but this is just for flavor. You won't be leveling up your relationship with the Hex members by selecting a Hex Override tied to a certain member. They also won't only affect that member's frame.

Warframe: 1999 is here, but its flagship 'The Hex' quest ends with quite an unsatisfying conclusion. Not to worry, though, because there's actually a second 1999 quest, The Hex Finale.

Beyond questing, make sure to check out Warframe's latest frame, Cyte-09, how to build him, and how to build his sniper rifle, but keep reading to learn how you can unlock The Hex Finale.

Spoilers will follow for 'The Hex' quest, but there will be no spoilers for part two.

Warframe's 'The Hex' quest's second part

When you complete The Hex, things are looking pretty dreary. All your new friends are dead courtesy of a nuke destroying the beautiful city of Höllvania, and the Drifter is ready to loop again. The good news is that you won't have to wait for a future update to try out that second loop.

The Hex Finale lets you attempt that fateful New Year's Eve once more, but you'll have to play the second part for yourself to see how things turn out. However, the game doesn't explicitly tell you there is a second part, nor does it tell you how to unlock it until you've actually done so.

Plus, you need to complete The Hex Finale to rank up the Hex syndicate to the fourth rank, and once you hit that rank, the Hex group chat, as well as your DMs with Hex members, are all updated to reflect the events of The Hex Finale, essentially moving up the timeline of your relationships.

Luckily, it doesn't take too much work to get to The Hex Finale.

How to unlock 'The Hex Finale' quest in Warframe

Put simply, you need to level up your relationships with the Hex syndicate members, Eleanor, Aoi, Lettie, Arthur, Quincy, and Amir, to 'liked' status before the quest will be available to you. Once you have your relationships in order, you can start The Hex Finale from the Backroom in Höllvania.

The quest itself is short, and the game tells you beforehand to expect around a 15-minute adventure. Nonetheless, it's an essential quest to play once you finish The Hex. To that end, there are a few different ways you can level up your relationships with the Hex syndicate members.

Completing the Höllvania bounty side objectives will award you with chemistry that levels up your relationships. Simply messaging the Hex members from your Backroom PC each day will also level up your relationships. Lastly, sending the Hex members gifts can do the same thing.

As long as you do some (or all) of the above, getting to 'liked' status won't take more than a few days. You'll likely unlock The Hex Finale by the time you're around the third rank in the Hex syndicate if you're doing your bounties for the chemistry bonus. So, it's not all that much of a grind.

The post Warframe: 1999’s ‘The Hex’ quest actually has a second part, and here’s how to unlock it appeared first on Destructoid.

Warframe: 1999 is here, and with it has come tons of content. Part of all that new stuff is new mods, 15 to be exact. These mods run the gamut from adding magnetic damage to increasing weak point critical chance and more. But what exactly do these mods do, and how do you get them?

Mods aren't the only addition in 1999, there are new arcanes to look at, a new Warframe, and some interesting reworks of Nyx and Trinity, too. But if you're ready to jump into the building scene and take some new mods out for a spin, here are all the new 1999 mods and where to get them.

Every mod added in Warframe's 1999 update

In total, there are 15 new mods added with Warframe: 1999. There are aura mods, pistol mods, rifle mods, shotgun mods, a melee mod, an archgun mod, an archmelee mod, and even beast claw mods. They do a variety of things, but a lot of these mods work similarly to each other.

There's a focus on mods that add magnetic damage (much like the radiation mods already in the game) as well as mods that affect weak points and mesh well with Warframe's new frame, Cyte-09, that was added in the 1999 update. Check out the full list of added mods with descriptions:

• Radon Claws (Beast Claws): +60% Radiation Damage, +80% Critical Damage

Where to get every Warframe: 1999 mod

Of course, you can trade for these mods, and even though they're new, most of them aren't particularly expensive, but you can also get them as drops by playing the new update and defeating certain enemies. Here's that full list of new mods, alongside exactly how you can acquire them:

• Magnetic Might: Completing The Hex quest (send to your inbox)

• Summoner’s Wrath: Defeating Scaldra Eradicator, Scaldra Barbican

• Rhu Manor: Exterminate

Throughout the years, particularly in 2023 and 2024, we've experienced some of the best (and worst) gaming has to offer, from role-playing games that set the standard for years to come to small indie titles that lay comfortably in our hearts and tug at the heartstrings. We're also continuing to see the rise of expansions for some of the most famous games out there, from World of Warcraft: The War Within to Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail.

With all that said, it's easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer number of game releases as the months go on, especially if you're partway through a playthrough and learn that more games are launching the same week.

Whether you're looking to plan ahead or tell others about an upcoming release, we've got a complete list of every game releasing in 2024 and those already confirmed to launch in 2025. We'll also continue updating this list as we learn about new releases and delays.
