Zenless Zone Zero Previews Claret Mechanics, Character Videos and “Link Up” EP
Ahead of the September 9 release of Version 3.2, “Their Secret Histories,” Zenless Zone Zero’s official channel published an Agent Mechanics Intro for Claret alongside the “Link Up” EP and a Flint Workshop feature. Claret is the upcoming S-Rank Electric Armorer Agent associated with Flint Workshop; her combat previews introduce the new specialty and its distinct mechanics. The videos are advance promotional materials, not proof that Claret was already playable or free on September 7. Check the Version 3.2 notice and in-game Signal Search for her final skills, schedule and acquisition conditions.
Honkai: Star Rail Releases “Deep Waters” Myriad Celestia Trailer About the IPC
Honkai: Star Rail released the Myriad Celestia trailer “Deep Waters” on September 5. The official video depicts intrigue within the Interastral Peace Corporation, with a life-or-death promotion, veiled threats and a self-destructing directive. Its English voice cast includes Jade, Obsidian, Opal and Aventurine, alongside other familiar characters. The trailer supplies narrative context and a character-focused cinematic; it does not alone confirm new playable characters, event rewards or a new version launch on September 7.
Wuthering Waves Shows Jingran Combat Ahead of September 10 Phase II
Kuro Games published Jingran’s official Resonator Combat Showcase on September 5, followed by the “WORSHIP” character showcase on September 7. The videos display his fighting presentation and story theme ahead of the second phase of Wuthering Waves Version 3.6, scheduled to start September 10. These character videos should not be treated as an announcement that his featured Convene was already active on September 7, nor do they guarantee free acquisition. For banner times and skills, consult the live in-game notices after the phase change.
Minecraft Names Its Third 2026 Game Drop “Wilderness Bound”
Mojang announced the name of Minecraft’s third 2026 game drop, “Wilderness Bound,” in a September 5 article. The outdoor-exploration preview introduces the autumn-colored Dappled Forest, mysterious abandoned camps and new straw beds that let players skip the night without changing their spawn point. Poplar wood and camping-themed building options are also highlighted. On September 7 this was a named upcoming game drop, not a released update. A release-date notice was added to the same article later, on September 10, so it is not presented here as information available on the issue date.
Clash of Clans × WWE Adds Alexa Queen; Kane Duke Arrives September 8
Supercell’s September “Search for Cena” collaboration brings WWE-themed cosmetics and events to Clash of Clans. Its official schedule lists Alexa Bliss’s Archer Queen hero skin from September 5–30, Iyo Sky’s Royal Champion skin from September 7–30 and Kane’s Dragon Duke skin from September 8–30. These premium WWE hero skins are priced at US$9.99 in Supercell’s announcement, while the Jey Uso skin is tied to the Gold Pass. The dates and acquisition methods vary by item; none of these paid skins should be described as a free Town Hall 3 login reward. The collaboration also schedules an Equipment Blast reward event starting September 9.
Genshin Impact Version 7.0 Trial of the Bastion Opens September 7
Genshin Impact’s Version 7.0 schedule places the limited-time “Trial of the Bastion” activity on September 7–17. It is a defensive challenge: players prepare mechanisms and use firearms to repel incoming enemies rather than receiving rewards automatically. The July 31 official Version 7.0 events preview introduced the activity; dated event guides provide the September timetable and list rewards such as Primogems and upgrade materials for completing qualifying challenges. The developer’s original event notice could not be located as a directly verifiable page, so the official overview and independent schedule are labeled separately. The original draft’s claims about the Tsaritsa’s CRIT-focused kit were unsupported leaks and have been removed.
Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Releases 10th Anniversary “Rise, Heroes!” Cinematic
Mobile Legends: Bang Bang released its official 10th-anniversary hero-themed cinematic, “Rise, Heroes! Shape the World!,” on September 4. The film celebrates heroic stories across cultures and connects to the “Starward Decade” Season 42 refresh. The publisher’s video says the anniversary revamped heroes are scheduled for September 16, so those reworks were still upcoming as of this September 7 edition. Anniversary activities began on September 4, but any free skin or event reward requires meeting the applicable in-game activity rules; watching the cinematic does not automatically grant one.
Free Fire × Nailoong Ring Event Features Themed Cosmetics in Selected Regions
A dated August 28 event guide reported a Free Fire × Nailoong Ring Event for the US server, with a Nailoong-themed character item, backpack and “Dancing Nailoong” Gloo Wall among its prizes. The reported US window was August 28–September 6, meaning it had already ended by this September 7 issue. Community gameplay also mentioned other server-specific versions, but an official Garena announcement establishing a common worldwide schedule and reward pool could not be verified. This card therefore documents a regional crossover rather than telling all players that the event is currently live. Ring spins and token exchanges may require diamonds; check your region’s in-game interface.
Modern Warfare 4 Unveils “Stranded” Campaign Mission First Look
On September 4, the official Call of Duty channel released a first-look video for the Modern Warfare 4 campaign mission “Stranded.” Its description places the squad deep inside North Korea, surrounded and pursued while trying to navigate hostile territory. The clip previews a story mission, not a new playable beta period or proof that the full campaign is already available. Activision and Xbox previously announced October 23 as the full game launch date, with qualifying campaign early access scheduled separately. Avoid confusing this cinematic first look with later story materials published after September 7.
PUBG MOBILE Confirms One-Punch Man Dates and Teases B.Duck Collaboration
The One-Punch Man anime’s official site announced a PUBG MOBILE crossover running September 20–October 19, 2026, excluding mainland China. Limited Saitama, Genos, Terrible Tornado, Hellish Blizzard and Garou sets are advertised, while the Perk Exchange event begins September 9 with certain activity rewards available for free. Those free perks must not be described as free character sets without confirmation. Separately, PUBG MOBILE MENA’s September 4 B.Duck teaser says World of Wonder creator assets are scheduled for September 9 and the crossover launch for October 2. Both are advance announcements on this issue date; regional item availability and exact local end times may differ.
