Disney Lorcana takes a page from Magic: The Gathering with its new ink drop mechanic, enhancing strategic play.
It’s a relatively quiet day in gaming news, with few major developments on the horizon. However, Disney Lorcana is set to introduce a new mechanic that will be familiar to fans of Magic: The Gathering. According to Polygon, the collectible card game is adding “ink drops,” which function similarly to MTG’s treasure tokens. These will debut alongside the new Hyperia City set, hitting local game stores for prerelease events on October 16. Ink drops can be generated in various ways and added to the inkwell, a mechanic that allows for more flexibility in gameplay since ink isn’t color-specific during play.
Media and Music Crossovers in GTA 6
Grand Theft Auto 6’s radio stations are getting a celebrity boost. As reported by Kotaku, the upcoming game will feature famous musicians such as Bad Bunny, who will lend their voices as radio hosts. This continues the series’ tradition of blending media and music to enhance the game’s immersive world.
The Weird and Whimsical Corner
- Fans of game mods have something fun to look forward to as well—a quirky Ocarina of Time romhack known as “Soccerina of Time.” According to Kotaku, this mod incorporates soccer into the classic game’s mechanics.
- In other entertainment crossings, another actor from Critical Role is joining the cast of the upcoming Final Fantasy VII Revelation, according to Kotaku. This comes amidst speculation about the character dynamics in the game, particularly with Shiva.
Deal Highlights
For those looking for some affordable options, Kotaku notes that several RPGs on the new Switch 2 are currently on sale, including some exclusive Amazon Prime deals. Meanwhile, Polygon reports on a $30 discount for a Zelda-themed Pro Controller, marking a great opportunity for those who missed out on the quickly sold-out special editions.
