Embark Studios has released a new update for THE FINALS, updating the store with new weapon skins and the Lurkfin La Goon monster head for players. Check out the trailer below to see how they look.
Update 2.5.0 also brings the Boombox, which players earned by completing the recent Community Challenge, and balance changes. The Data Reshaper now has a range of 15 meters, but its target field of view has gone from 25 to 12 degrees. The Cloaking Device’s activation cost is now 33 percent instead of 14.2 percent, which won’t affect how long it can be sustained but makes it costlier to turn on and off constantly.
Health for the Mesh Shield has gone from 1000 to 750, while the KS-23 has received an accuracy buff with less bullet dispersal when aiming down sights, running and jumping. Embark is looking into changes for the Stun Gun and visibility of cloaked players, though these won’t go live until Update 2.6.
THE FINALS is available for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. Check out our review, where we praised its gunplay, creativity and destruction, for more details.

Pokemon tends to leave about six months between Squishmallow releases and right on time, its next pair of popular plushes is now available to pre-order. Long-rumored and eventually revealed, it's been known for a while now that the next two Pokemon getting the Squishmallow treatment would be Dragonite and Marill. All we knew regarding a potential release date was the summer, but now the Squishmallows are available and you can pre-order them through the Pokemon Center.
Housemarque got us all excited on Monday when it teased something regarding Returnal to mark the game's third anniversary would be dropping 24 hours later. That left us wanting for a sequel, or at the very least some DLC for what remains one of the best PS5 exclusives to date. Unfortunately, we're not getting either of those things, at least not yet. On the bright side, Housemarque has announced a graphic novel- Returnal: Fallen Asteria, as well as a Returnal artbook, both of which are available to pre-order now.
Wow, remember Starfield? I do, just about, although any interest in it feels like a distant dream now. But not to Todd Howard! The Bethesboss had a chat with Kinda Funny and confirmed that Shattered Space, the first big DLC for the brave little space RPG that could, has a release window of "in the fall". Shattered Space adds new locations and stories and gear, and is the sort of DLC that was announced before the game came out, and you got it bundled with some of the super mega hyper awesome pre-order editions (you can still get it bundled with the Starfield Premium Edition if you want to spend an extra 30 quid).
