Pokémon Legends: Z-A - Mega Dimension

The Pokémon Company has announced the Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension DLC launches on December 10 for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 in the Nintendo eShop. In the new DLC, players will revisit Lumiose City as spatial distortions begin to form. 

In Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension, Donut chef Ansha and her companion, the Mythical Pokémon Hoopa, will guide players in the realm known as Hyperspace Lumiose. There are newly discovered Mega-Evolved Pokémon and other Pokémon not usually found in Lumiose, including those exceeding the normal limit of Lv. 100 with hyperspace levels.

Hoopa’s powers are awakened when it receives one of Ansha’s donuts, transforming the distortions into portals to Hyperspace Lumiose. Ansha uses Berries to create these kinds of donuts and grant different effects in hyperspace. She can also use Hyperspace Berries, which are useful for taking on high-level Pokémon. 

Trainers will also be joined by new allies like Korrina, the successor to a line of Mega Evolution gurus who want to encounter every Mega-Evolved Pokémon, including the new Mega Chimecho and Mega Baxcalibur. Players can obtain the Mega Stone needed to evolve Baxcalibur from the Z-A Battle Club as a reward for advancing in online Ranked Battles.

With the latest Pokémon Legends: Z-A update, players can now claim a Diancite Stone through the Mystery Gift feature. This Diancite stone unlocks an opportunity to encounter and catch the Jewel Pokémon Diancie through an extra side mission titled “Shine Bright like a Gemstone.” Afterward, players can visit the Looker Bureau, where Mimi the Espurr—Emma’s partner Pokémon—take a special interest in the Mega Stone in an extra side mission. Complete this quest to earn Diancie and Mega Evolve it into Mega Diancie.

Meg’s Monster Adds New Lost Memories DLC on December 4

Odencat has announced that a new DLC for Meg’s Monster, titled “Lost Memories,” will release on December 4 for PC via Steam. The first trailer for the DLC has also released. 

Meg’s Monster initially released on March 2, 2023. While the game is available now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch, the DLC will not be available on consoles until later. The DLC is approximately going to be around 2 hours in length when it releases on December 4. Check out the first trailer for the “Lost Memories” DLC for Meg’s Monster below:

The Steam page describes the “Lost Memories” DLC as follows:

Meg’s Monster: Lost Memories is a collection of short prequel adventures that expand upon the world and lore of Meg’s Monster by letting players experience the heartwrenching backstories of five wholly unique characters.

An MMA fighter who steps into the ring to earn money for his ailing brother’s medical treatment. A young girl whose bickering parents seem eerily on edge about her upcoming fifth birthday.

An unseen creature in a dark cell, created for the sole purpose of killing a specific human being. A man reborn after death as a monster, who devotes his newfound life to bringing order to the Underworld. A monster child, raised in a laboratory and subjected to extensive experimentation—but to what end? Five lives. Five stories, heretofore untold.

Yet all beg the same underlying questions: Can a monster be just as human as a human? And can a human be more monstrous than a monster?

Dead by Daylight 2v8 Mode Adds Castlevania and Silent Hill Collaboration

Behaviour Interactive and KONAMI have announced a new theming for the 2v8 mode of Dead by Daylight, featuring characters from Silent Hill and Castlevania.

In this special collaboration, players can take control of Dracula and Pyramid Head as two hunters against 8 survivors. As part of the collaboration, players can also unlock two survivors who are free for a limited time: Silent Hill’s Cheryl Mason and Castlevania’s Trevor Belmont. Multiple KONAMI-themed skins will also be available. The collaboration will come to an end on November 20. 

Check out the trailer showcasing the crossover between Dead by Daylight‘s 2v8 mode, Castlevania, and Silent Hill below:

Behaviour Interactive initially released Dead by Daylight in 2016. The game is a multiplayer asymmetrical horror game where four players must survive against one lone killer. It is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Over the years, Dead by Daylight has included characters from famed horror franchises. This includes Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Alien, Chucky, and Alan Wake, Tokyo Ghoul, and most recently, Five Nights at Freddy’s. 

The Steam page describes Dead by Daylight as follows:

Trapped forever in a realm of eldritch evil where even death is not an escape, four determined Survivors face a bloodthirsty Killer in a vicious game of nerve and wits. Pick a side and step into a world of tension and terror with horror gaming’s best asymmetrical multiplayer.

Survivors play in third-person and have the advantage of better situational awareness. The Killer plays in first-person and is more focused on their prey.

The Survivors’ goal in each encounter is to escape the Killing Ground without getting caught by the Killer – something that sounds easier than it is, especially when the environment changes every time you play.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A Update 1.0.2 Makes Adjustments to Ranked Battles

By
Soul Kiwami

The Pokémon Company released the version 1.0.2 update for Pokémon Legends: Z-A ahead of the release of the new Mega Dimension DLC trailer. Pokémon Legends: Z-A update 1.0.2 fixes some progression-blocking bugs and makes some adjustments to points and rewards in Ranked Battles.

Patch notes for update 1.0.2 can be read below, via Nintendo’s support website:

Pokémon Legends: Z-A Update 1.0.2 Patch Notes

Fixes Applied for the Following Issues

  • If your Pokémon Boxes became full before the first Rogue Mega Evolution battle and the Boxes menu had not been opened at any point prior to being filled, Pokémon catch attempts would always fail. Additionally, if a side mission that allows you to receive Pokémon was attempted under these conditions, the mission would be completed without granting the Pokémon.
  • In certain side missions, if the time of day switched between daytime and nighttime at the exact moment that a move hit its target, it became impossible to hit the target afterward, rendering the side mission incapable of being progressed further.
  • In Trainer battles, if the opposing Trainer switched Pokémon and the player simultaneously activated Mega Evolution, the game may have become unplayable because the opposing Trainer failed to send out a new Pokémon.
  • Other minor issues have also been fixed.

Ranked Battles Balance Adjustments

  • To prevent points from decreasing based on match outcomes, points awarded according to ranking have been adjusted.
  • Battle rewards have been partially increased and added to the rewards received after each match.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A launched on October 16 for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. The Nintendo Switch version of Pokémon Legends: Z-A will cost $59.99, the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition costs $69.99, and the upgrade pack costs $9.99, via the Nintendo eShop.

In the near future, fans will embark on a new journey with the upcoming Mega Dimension DLC for Pokémon Legends: Z-A, featuring the mythical Pokémon Hoopa. In the new DLC, Pokémon Legends Z-A players can discover new Mega Evolutions, including Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y.
