Bleach Rebirth of Souls is the latest console game from the legendary Bleach franchise, where fan favorite characters can unlock powers, engage in combat, and turn the tide of the battle with one strike of their sword.Play VideoTo get fans and players excited for Bleach Rebirth of Souls, well be showing some exclusive content of Sosuke Aizen and Shigekuni Genryusai Yamamoto, as well as an introduction to the games unique battle system.New character revealsThe new characters, Sosuke Aizen and Shigekuni Genryusai Yamamoto have been revealed in the release date announcement trailer. Their character trailers will drop soon, but below is a tease of the two iconic characters.As the Captain of Squad 5, Sosuke Aizen is infamous for his crime of high treason against the Soul Society. He has a Spiritual Pressure unlike any other, far surpassing that of other Soul Reapers. His immense strength is amplified by his unique ability to manipulate his attacks and shift the tide of the fight to his advantage.As the Head Captain, Shigekuni Genryusai Yamamoto stands at the pinnacle of all Soul Reapers, wielding the most powerful fire-based Zanpakuto capable of incinerating everything in its path. With unmatched firepower and mastery over his abilities, Yamamoto is a formidable force, ready to face any opponent who dares to challenge him.Combat system basicsAt its core, the basic strategy is reading the opponents moves, attack, guard, counter, and decreasing Reishi. Winning a battle involves cutting down an opponents Reishi (HP) and destroying their Konpaku (lives). All playable characters have unique abilities to accomplish this goal through various mechanics so using movement abilities for positioning becomes key to finding opportunities to strike.Before diving into the combat overview, lets introduce some important game terms:Reishi Gauge: A players health gauge. Every time a Reishi gauge is cut down, the players Konpaku takes damage.Konpaku: A players remaining health. Destroy all of the opponents Konpaku to win the fight.Fighting Spirit Gauge: Accumulated over time and by taking damage. When enough of this gauge has accumulated, a player can activate the Awakening. If a player has a full gauge when using Awakening, they will move into a Kikon channel state, which increases the power of the Kikon Move.Awakening: Elevates a player to an empowered state with enhanced abilities and increased Konpaku destruction power.Kikon Move: An ability that directly destroys an opponents Konpaku.Guard Gauge: Decreases when a player guards an opponents attacks. If the gauge is fully depleted, a player will not be able to guard temporarily (Guard Break).Spiritual Power Gauge: Accumulated when attacking an opponent. The gauge is consumed to activate a Spiritual Pressure Move.Spiritual Pressure Move: Special actions that differ per character that includes empowered abilities, counter skills, etc.Hoh: Movement ability to quickly close the distance and get behind an opponent.Reverse Action: There are three types of Reverse Actions; Soul Reverse (increase Spiritual Power and recover Reishi), Chain Reverse (continue a combo and increase Spiritual Power), and Burst Reverse (cancel an opponents combo and recover Guard Gauge).Turn the tide of the battleTo destroy the opponents Konpaku, players must either damage the Reishi gauge or, when the opponents remaining Reishi falls below 30%, activate a Kikon Move. Additionally, a Kikon Move can be triggered when the opponent is under Guard Break. However, if a player uses a Kikon Move in an ancillary manner, the number of Konpaku destroyed will be reduced.Players can damage an opponents Reishi Gauge in two ways, Quick Attack and Flash Attack. While both attacks can decrease an opponents Guard Gauge, Quick Attacks can be unleashed quicker and are used to easily accumulate Spiritual Power,while Flash Attacks inflict greater damage to Reishi. These attacks can also be used in succession as a combo, and using Hoh will extend the combo attacks.There are also other abilities like the Signature Move, a unique action which can be activated without consuming gauge, as well as a Spiritual Pressure Move, which can be activated with accumulated Spiritual Power. Strategically timing these skills will give a player the upper hand on their opponent.Along with basic abilities, players can activate the Awakening state in the form of signature Bleach skills like Shikai, Bankai, and Resurreccin. Awakening can be activated when a player accumulates a certain amount of Fighting Spirit, enhancing a characters abilities and Konpaku destruction power. Activating Awakening can be crucial in overturning the tide of the battle, bringing victory from the edge of defeat!Bleach Rebirth of Souls is coming to PS5 and PS4 on March 21, 2025. Pre-order the game today and receive the Toshiro Histugaya and Yoruichi Shihoin Thousand-Year Blood War costume set!

Youll start Infinity Nikki in a pretty straightforward story, but at its core, its a gacha mobile game. That means Infinity Nikki comes with all the expected systems: rolling for outfits, stamina that replenishes over time but has a cap, and some kind of upgrading system. However, as you play, you may wonder what the deal is with all of this.If youre familiar at all with similar open-world gacha games like Wuthering Waves, Genshin Impact, or Tower of Fantasy, youll know that after you catch up to the story, youll find yourself in the same gameplay loop. You use your stamina to farm for materials to upgrade your characters and weapons. After beefing things up decently, youll start farming for individual equipment pieces that get randomized stats when upgrading thus creating a somewhat infinite grind. Is this the same in Infinity Nikki? Well, kind of.(Note that this information is from a closed beta that we played shortly before the game launched, so there may be slightly differing information in the live version of the game.)Whats the combat like in Infinity Nikki?The combat in Infinity Nikki is extremely simple. Nikki can blast orbs at enemies. Most enemies you find around the world can be one-shot, with some needing two hits. There are boss fights where youll need to dodge attacks, wait for an opening, and then attack at the right time but theres no way to get through these fights any quicker by dealing more damage. Nikkis attacks appear to do a set value and you dont upgrade her gear to dish out more damage.So why am I leveling up my outfits in Infinity Nikki?You do need to beef up Nikkis clothes for a different reason. Rather than adding offensive stats to clothing, youll need to upgrade its visual stats in order to complete more difficult styling duels.Youll need to complete a few lower-level styling duels as you play through the story, but there are several optional factions to take on around the world. Youll be presented with challenges, and after completing enough of them, youll be able to take on a big boss for rewards like Diamonds (the premium currency) and even recipes to craft more clothes. Some of the early styling duels can be done with default clothes at low levels, but you will need to improve your stuff in order to fully complete some of the later duels.This is where the gameplay loop comes in. You can only upgrade your clothes so much, and youll need to raise your Mira Level (your player level) to lift that upgrade cap. Spending stamina (called Vital Energy) and completing quests will net you loads of EXP to raise your Mira Level.Are there randomized stats and equips I need to farm in Infinity Nikki?Not really. Theres additional equipment called Eureka that youll want to collect to further your styling duel points. These are collected via spending stamina at warp spires and you can level them up to add more stats to them.While their color will randomly change when theyre maxed out, it didnt appear that the stats rolled randomly the way that stats do in the aforementioned gacha games, so you can safely just grab one of each (or more, if you want a specific color), without having to farm these for ages. So, no, there are no randomized stats, but yes, there are equips youll want to collect.In a way, you are doing the aforementioned gameplay loop that lines up with those other open-world gacha games. You are leveling up gear and whatnot, though the method, reason, and grind is just quite different.That is to say, you dont really have to do any of this. You can spend your time collecting Whimstars, catching bugs, and completing side quests while largely ignoring this component of the game, if youre not into the grind or the min-max but the styling duels are a major component of the Nikki franchise and you wont be able to make the iconic miracle outfit without taking on the faction leaders. You will need to make the miracle outfit to hit the final points of the game (as of launch), though you can enjoy your time in Mira Land doing other stuff, if you so prefer.If youre looking for more info about Infinity Nikki, we have a beginners guide, a list of codes, and a guide noting where to unlock more clothes.

Infinity Nikki has codes to redeem that give you goodies, just like many other modern mobile games on the market. You wont want to miss out on using these codes, since they expire and they actually give some pretty good loot, like premium currency.Below we list all the active codes in Infinity Nikki for December 2024.Infinity Nikki codes for December 2024The activeInfinity Nikkireward codes as of writing this are as follows:infinitynikki1205 (20 Limited-time Revelation Crystals) added Dec. 4, expires Dec. 18BDAYSURPRISE (126 Diamonds) added Dec. 4, expires Dec. 31GIFTTONIKKI (90 Diamonds) added Dec. 4, expires Dec. 31GIFTFROMMOMO (80 Diamonds) added Dec. 4, expires Dec. 31How to redeem codes in Infinity NikkiYou can redeem codes in-game by opening the Pear-Pal menu, hitting the gear-shaped settings icon at the bottom, going to other, and then pressing apply under the redeem code section.As of this writing, theres no way to redeem the codes via a website (the way you would with Genshin Impact codes or Honkai: Star Rail codes), but well update this post if one becomes available.If youre looking for more info about Infinity Nikki, we have a beginners guide, a gameplay explainer, and a guide noting where to unlock more clothes.

The humble building block. For centuries, this iconic shape has helped humans reach fantastic architectural heights, understand the crystalline structures of our minerals on earth, and take us to the great beyond with advancements in materials technology. In childhood, toy blocks foster many fine motor and relational skills, two of the most crucial facets of growing up. This shape stands the test of time, some variation of which forming all of our homes and workplaces. Here, we see these instances of blocks in childhood and architecture in adulthood combined to produce Blockitecture Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian by James Paulius for Areaware. This playful rendition of Frank Lloyd Wrights work, classically low to match the surrounding American landscape, is a perfect balance of tinker and toy.The science on blocks is clear early adoption of spatial reasoning skills is a solid predictor of working in STEM, building skills essential to most, if not all positions within the field. The delicate balance of materiality and form within the context of site was essential to Frank Lloyd Wrights design philosophy. Taking inspiration directly from the renowned architects signature style, organic architecture, the blocks are set around a hexagonal axis. They feature distinct dimensions and colored sides that set a specific block apart from the rest. All in pleasing, natural hues, the palette blends with the light shade of the New Zealand pine. Water-based, non-toxic paint adorns the sides of the hexagonal pieces, free to stack and nestle as you please.The pieces all lined up have a cohesion that not only likens them to each other, but the other Blockitecture sets available at Areaware as well. Each set, also designed by Paulius, is a celebration of the iconic skylines we all know and love, within the context of building toys. Bright, dynamic colors keep the blocks fun and approachable, while the intricacy of the shapes keep them engaging.James Paulius is a New York City-based designer. Much of his work revolves around blocks that are inspired by architecture, urban planning, and landscape design. His designs aim to promote an understanding of physicality through the lens of play and possibility. He hopes this will allow children to realize their potential to shape the world around us, and create better futures for generations to come.Areaware collaborates with independent designers to offer fun, funky pieces for the design-minded person. They work with established brands and smaller studios alike, ensuring a fresh perspective is always at the forefront of their collection. They explain: We believe the best design evokes good feelings, and think everyday objects should be as fun as they are functional.For more on Blockitecture Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian set, visit areaware.com.Photography by Emma Fishman and Areaware.This post contains affiliate links, so if you make a purchase from an affiliate link, we earn a commission.

If youre going to design a sofa, why not get inspired by the cozy, timeless jacket that envelopes you in cold weather?Poltrona Frau has unveiled its latest innovation, the Parka sofa collection, designed by creative duo Draga & Aurel. Inspired by the iconic parka jacket, known for its versatility and casual elegance, the sofa translates the spirit of this beloved garment into a contemporary seating solution that embodies both functionality and aesthetic appeal.The Parka collection is part of Poltrona Fraus Imagine Collection, which explores the theme of Imagine Softness and includes a collaboration with British artist Faye Toogood. Not many companies are capable of embracing so many different external visions whilst still uploading a furnishing philosophy consistent with its identity, remarks Nicola Coropulis, CEO of Poltrona Frau. Over the years, in the various collaborations with new designers, Poltrona Frau has always sought and upheld that sense of contemporary luxury which is able to respond in an aesthetic, conceptual, and, above all, ethical way to modern requisites.As their first project for Poltrona Frau, Draga & Aurel designed the Parka collection to epitomize this concept of softness, inviting relaxation and warmth into any living space. The unique elliptical shape of the backrest seamlessly transitions from an armrest to a seat, creating a concave or convex space that imbues cozy vibes. The soft lines and generously padded upholstery is reminiscent of your favorite parka jacket: casual, snuggly, soft, and comforting.Parka can be configured with different modular elements: a concave or convex armchair without armrests or with a terminal armrest, the latter available in a maxi version. Upholstery choices include Poltrona Fraus own Pelle Frau leather or a combination of leather and fabric, where the leather is applied to the external frame and the fabric is applied to the seat, backrest, and armrest.Photo: Andrea PugiottoPhoto: Andrea PugiottoPhoto: Andrea PugiottoDraga Obradovic and Aurel K.
