Coffee Stain Publishing and Coffee Stain North are commemorating the 2 year anniversary of Goat Simulator 3 with two new additions to the game: a free community update, and a paid Hocus Pocus DLC pack, both available for players on the 25th of November.

Goat Simulator 3’s free update showcases the talent of the community, introducing events, abilities, instincts and gears developed based on winning submissions from the community Gear Competition! Players can dig their horns into San Angora’s latest events – Fishing for Bob, Puppet Show, and Target Practice – to unlock these new gears:

Bob (the Blobfish) – 1st place submission by Wilem Ménard
Puppet Goat – joint-3rd place submission by Jeroen Vermeulen
Grappling Bow – joint-3rd place submission by Evan Jonah Grizzard

Alongside the community-designed aspects of this update, some sleek new menu additions are also being added, including upgraded pop-ups, a News Feed, and an “add-ons” option for the Wardrobe.

Cabra-cadabra – a new gear pack has also appeared! Filled with all things magic, the paid Hocus Pocus DLC includes 20 new gears (6 with all new abilities), a new high-flying vehicle, and 5 new challenging instincts. This DLC is sure to show players just how bewitching goaty destruction can be. What more could you wand?

Here’s a little sneak peak into what the Hocus Pocus pack has to offer:

Chain Spirit Boots – Chain objects together for some tangled-up mayhem
The Broom – Fly around and feel the wind in your fur coat
Dragon Scales – Launch fiery tornadoes at all who dare cross your path
Owl Companion – A new friend that brings you gifts (in the form of nearby NPCs)

Santiago Ferrero, Creative Director at Coffee Stain North, said: “As we are approaching the 2 year anniversary of Goat Simulator 3, we knew we had to make it special. We loved running the Gear Competition and we’re thrilled to introduce the winning players’ designs into the game in celebration of our baa-rilliant community, and we can’t wait to see what magical mayhem everyone gets up to with the Hocus Pocus pack.”

Gameforge, a leading publisher of multiplayer titles, is delighted to unveil AION Classic EU update 3.0: The Path of the Brawler, the biggest update of the year for the free-to-play fantasy MMORPG. Players will be pummeling enemies into shape as the new “Brawler” character class, before exploring all-new locations.

Watch the AION Classic EU 3.0 The Path of the Brawler announcement trailer:

When the update goes live later this month, players will be able to deliver blistering beatdowns as the new melee-focused character class, visiting fresh areas across Atreia. This includes a new world map area, Laphsaran, a new starting instance for the new class, and PvP battlegrounds. Plus, with the incredibly powerful Lord Subterra world raid, there will be more ways than ever for players to test out the newly added class gameplay.

New Class: Brawler

The Brawler is a highly agile, fast-striking melee fighter who begins their journey as a Martial Artist. Wielding the class-exclusive, one-handed Dragon Claws, they combine strength, agility, and the power of Qi to unleash devastating attacks in solo combat. With a focus on quick and punishing combos and powerful finishing moves, the Brawler excels in fast-paced, high-damage battles. As players build Qi, they can enter an awakened state, enabling them to unleash enhanced abilities for a limited time.

Begin as a Fighter in the Lacrima starting area and ascend to your true, Brawler potential through new storylines and the class-exclusive Manor of Illumination instance.

Level Cap Increase: 58 to 60

For the first time in AION Classic EU, players can now reach level 60. New skills, Stigmas, and enhanced abilities will be available for all classes, giving players more tools to dominate both PvE and PvP content.

New Stigmas for each class
New Greater Stigma slot expansion
Legion and campaign adjustments to accommodate the increased level cap

Explore the New World Map: Laphsaran

A treacherous, unexplored land awaits! High-level players can journey to Laphsaran, a new area featuring quests, fortress sieges, and world bosses. Originally the domain of the Dragon Lord Apsu, Laphsaran is filled with hazards shaped by Tiamat’s influence. From brutal monsters to a world raid against the formidable Lord Subterra, Laphsaran promises to push players to their limits.

New World Raid: Lord Subterra

Face Lord Subterra, a powerful raid boss lurking in the depths of Laphsaran. Only the strongest alliances will survive this weekly raid, with eternal-grade rewards like Serenity Weapons, Subterran Armor, and new wings awaiting those who emerge victorious.

Dranium Battlefield: Solo PvP Mayhem

This new battlefield introduces solo entry PvP, allowing players to engage in intense 1v1 elimination matches and 6v6 team battles. The Dranium Battlefield offers quick and dynamic combat scenarios, giving players a chance to test their mettle in an unpredictable environment.

Customization Improvements and More

And finally, for players who’d like to take on AION Classic EU 3.0’s new challenges and look good while doing it, the update also brings a new Hairstyle Wardrobe System. Easily change hairstyles using Quna and express your unique style in-game.

Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land – Second Trailer

Today, KOEI TECMO America and developer Gust revealed new details about the gameplay of their upcoming JRPG, Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land. Players can also discover new artwork by beloved artist Benitama and catch a glimpse of the adventure that awaits them in a brand-new trailer. Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land will be available March 21, 2025 on Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Windows PC via Steam® and, for the first time in franchise history, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.

Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land follows the adventures of Yumia Liessfeldt and her companions as they set off to unravel the mysteries behind the cataclysm that destroyed the once great continent of Aladiss, resulting in alchemy becoming taboo. Mysterious characters obsessed with alchemy such as a Noble in a Black Cloak, a Monocular Werewolf, a Sheep-Eye Witch, and a Dragon-Winged Warrior stand in Yumia’s way.

To prepare for the adventure ahead, players will rediscover the Atelier franchise’s signature synthesizing system in a fresh form by manipulating “mana” to create new items useful in combat or exploration. To create more powerful items, fans will have to master the art of “Resonance Synthesis” by adding ingredients which resonate with each other to the “Alchemy Core” of the recipe. The strength of the resonance will depend on the quality of the ingredients selected.

The combat system has also been revamped in Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land to offer intense real-time combat with intuitive gameplay. The skills available to active team members will depend on their distance from the enemy (close or ranged combat). Compared to previous instalments, players can now move or interchange characters at any time during the fight. When certain conditions are met, a powerful “Friend Action” combo can be unleashed in battle. By meeting certain conditions, players will be able to activate “Mana Surge”, which will allow for exclusive actions to be performed. In addition, each character will have a unique special move, “Maximize Mana Surge”, which can inflict significant damage on enemies.

Journeying alongside Yumia and her friends, players will explore the vast open world of the Aladiss continent. As they travel, they will be able to build their own bases. Thanks to the new “Building” feature, fans will freely be able to create and decorate their atelier from a vast choice of walls, floors, roofs, furniture, and more, or choose to select a predefined base model from the catalog. By increasing the “comfort level” of their atelier, players will unlock bonuses such as the ability to develop their base and enhance the skills of Yumia and her companions.

Lastly, if players do not wish to return to their base during exploration, they will be able to set up a camp where they can spend time cooking, which will provide various benefits during exploration and combat, or resting. Certain character events that can only be seen at camps will sometimes occur, providing greater insight into Yumia and her companions.

Everyone who purchases either a physical or digital edition up to two weeks after release will receive the “Athlete of Memories” early purchase costume for Yumia, the “Floating Object of Memories” costume for Flammi, and the unique “Training Wrist Weight” equipment.

In addition to the standard edition, players can pre-order a special physical edition exclusively through the NIS America Store. The PREMIUM BOX includes the base game, Yumia’s precious stuffed animal, an artbook, a set of 6 decorative keychains, a CD with extra tracks, and an official short story and accompanying translation booklet.

Look North World, a pioneering UGC game studio and publisher led by Alexander Seropian, Bungie founder and former Disney executive, and Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc., today launched GUNDAM: REQUIEM FOR VENGEANCE RED VS BLUE via Unreal® Engine for Fortnite (UEFN). The game is a competitive, team-based experience available now in Fortnite for all players worldwide on any platform they play Fortnite on.

Inspired by the explosive, gritty new Netflix animated series, “Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance,” GUNDAM: REQUIEM FOR VENGEANCE RED VS BLUE allows up to 20 players each match to align with either the Zeon or Earth Federation Forces factions and square off. When a match starts, players select their battlefield and deploy into their respective bases to equip themselves with an arsenal of their choosing. The primary objectives are to engage in tactical combat to secure the valuable MS Reactor Power. Factions are allocated a Cache in proximity to their base, and additional Caches are distributed across the terrain. Players acquire MS Reactor Power from the Caches. Teams must strategically collaborate to collect 200 MS Reactor Power, which then lets them activate their faction’s signature Mobile Suit, be it the Gundam EX or ZAKU II (Unidentified Type) Solari and have a devastating effect on the tide of battle.

GUNDAM: REQUIEM FOR VENGEANCE RED VS BLUE brings players the ultimate Gundam power fantasy in Fortnite, with access to a massive arsenal of popular weapons in each faction’s armory to maximize combat and robot takedowns while minimizing searching, looting, and traversing. The game is designed to deliver tense combat and thrills across the battlefield, culminating in an immersive, first-person cockpit view as if they were a real Gundam pilot. Players who take the most vengeance on their enemies will climb the global leaderboards and be entered to win Vbucks and Gunpla model kits from Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance, with leaderboards resetting each week.

Bandai Namco has raised the bar with Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance, and we’ve captured the spirit of the show to create an experience that puts gamers on the battlefield. The experience is available for free in Fortnite, where gamers already love to play. Choose your faction today, and we’ll see you on the scoreboard,” said Alex Seropian, Founder and CEO of Look North World.

We’re grateful for the extremely positive reception to Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance, and we’re excited to let fans recreate the experience in Fortnite with fast-paced faction combat in GUNDAM: REQUIEM FOR VENGEANCE RED VS BLUE.” said Karim Farghaly, senior vice president of corporate development for Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. “We’re proud of what we’ve created by collaborating with Look North World, and we look forward to seeing players square off against each other in Fortnite’s very own Gundam battlefield.”

GUNDAM: REQUIEM FOR VENGEANCE RED VS BLUE is available to play now by entering the Fortnite Creative Island code 7089-7797-5952

As part of an ongoing initiative for the GUNDAM Metaverse, GUNDAM: REQUIEM FOR VENGEANCE RED VS BLUE is one of the first major projects based on user-generated content that delivers an incredible dive into the world of Mobile Suit Gundam.
