⚡️ Of Ash and Steel from Fire & Frost just received its biggest post‑launch update, patch 1.07.
It's not just bugfixes: new haircuts & beards, a 10‑floor Pioneers' Dungeon near Neres' house, a universal loot chest on bases/taverns, wagon carters and paid "Sparrows" guides, improved quest sorting, an in‑game glossary (Training, Bestiary, Characters) and a help center, plus tons of fixes. PC (Steam) only; mixed 64% from 6k reviews, largely blamed on launch optimization.
Zenless Zone Zero quietly revealed a new pyro attacker, Pirois 🔥
Official art even shows Belle and Wyze beside them, a clear hint that Pirois might be some form of the game's video‑rental directors. Devs haven't said how to obtain them, but most PROXIES expect a free unlock via the main story of the third season.
⚡️New guide: Robert Figure, a full-blown Ultimate Guide to all things around DC and Robert Pattinson.
Inside, a neat breakdown of figure variants and sculpts, release differences, practical buying and storage tips, where to hunt rare pieces and how to spot fakes. IMPORTANT: made for collectors and fans, concise and no-nonsense.

⚡️ Of Ash and Steel, patch 1.07: new Pioneers' Dungeon plus a heap of QoL improvements.
The dungeon is for characters from level 10, 10 zones with procedural enemies and rewards, a ticking timer that ramps difficulty toward a boss guardian; reward: the Royal Guard Armor which you can scale at the workbench. Added carts for fast travel, city guides, universal stashes, an in-game glossary and appearance editing (hair/beard). Tons of quest/system bugs fixed, the game is steadier and way more player-friendly. HYPE 🛡️
