Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC ‘The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part 2: The Indigo Disk’ launches December 14

The first round of previews for the Pokemon Scarlet & Violet expansion of the Indigo Disk has arrived, and many with hands-on experience with the game have been praising the more challenging battles. The expansion is supposedly much more difficult for average players, and many should expect more sophisticated tactics.

Trainer classes are an interesting feature that adds a bit of character to would-be bland battles. Without them, every Trainer would be indistinguishable from another, appearing as a fellow Gym challenger in different clothes.

When Pokemon Scarlet and Violet came out last year, it promised many things and delivered on pretty much all of them. One of the key things that the game delivered on was the open world you could enjoy and roam through however and whenever you wanted. There was also a three-pronged storyline that you could do in any way, depending on where your mood swung. When it was announced that Gen 9 would get a two-part DLC like Gen 8 did before, fans were interested and curious to see where things would go. But while there was a certain “style” and “quality” to the game, it did have a key flaw that many have noted.

The second half of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's expansion DLC takes you to a high-tech academy with some of the toughest opponents yet.

Leaks are indicating that will feature more Paradox Pokémon in the DLC than have currently been announced, but this comes with a downside. Paradox Pokémon are one of the unique features of the Gen 9 games. Although any additions to their number are certainly welcomed, it is the circumstances through which they are obtained that may begin to pose problems for some.

While Generation 9 of Pokemon has made some excellent strides in quality-of-life features and a few other overall gameplay improvements, it has done little to revive forgotten features. With new regions come new gimmicks, and history repeats itself as new replaces old seemingly indefinitely.

If you’ve been keeping track of everything with Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you’ll know that Tera Raids are one of the big events that The Pokemon Company likes to do so that players can get rare Pokemon and have more opportunities to play with their friends. The newest event has been announced, and as ComicBook.com reveals, it’ll be centered around the fan-favorite Pokemon, Eevee! So if you’re a fan of one of the mascots for the brand, you’re going to have a good time starting on the 16th. But what things can you expect to find Eevee in?

If you’ve been enjoying Jusant, Don’t Nod’s post-apocalyptic climbing sim, you might also like the alpha playtest for Chasing The Unseen, which has just been updated with a new level. It doesn’t have Jusant’s quietly innovative grip and abseiling mechanics – the climbing is closer to Shadow Of The Colossus, consisting of just one button you hold to cling on till your stamina runs out. Nor does it have the Don’t Nod game's beautifully nested chunks of backstory - no seashells you can press your ear to, alas. But it does have massive flying cephalopods, giant red mushrooms, and floating, fractured landscapes of rock and grass.

When Clockwork Revolution appeared at this year's Xbox Games Showcase, fans were surprised to see actual pre-Alpha gameplay from inXile's next game. As reported prior to the announcement, it's a steampunk roleplaying game led by the makers of Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura and powered by Epic's Unreal Engine 5. Unlike Arcanum, which was played from an isometric point of view, the upcoming project is a strictly first-person game.

There are several Pokémon missing in ’s DLC, even with the introduction of new creatures and the return of many fan favorites. The second expansion in the DLC pack will conclude the story initiated by the expansion and shine light onto the Terastal Phenomenon that occurs in the region of Paldea – even if a portion of the DLC is set away from it. The additional content will send players on an exchange program with Naranja and Uva Academy’s sister school in Unova, called Blueberry Academy.

From F.W. Murnau’s silent classic Nosferatu to today, the cinematic bloodsucker has been a horror mainstay for over a century. Timelessly versatile in themes, style, and scares, vampire cinema has given film some of its most iconic villains, lushest productions, and entertaining thrills: Universal’s caped count, Blade’s badass daywalker, Twilight’s supernatural romance, and From Dusk Till Dawn’s gonzo genre blending, among countless more. But for every classic and popular vampire tale, there are myriad more worthy of interest that go unknown.
