Zenless Zone Zero Reveals New Enemy Archive: Ether Mutant – Truvia
Zenless Zone Zero has released a new enemy archive featuring Ether Mutant – Truvia. The official post includes a spoiler warning and offers players a closer look at this enemy’s visual presentation. It is an enemy information post, not an announcement that Truvia is a playable Agent.
Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.4 Leaks Tease Sunbringer Animations and a Possible Rhythm-Game Collaboration
Community posts about Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.4 claim to show combat animations for Sunbringer, Eldreda, and Lindverne, alleged gacha animations for Sunbringer and Robin, and a possible rhythm-game collaboration. Some discussions also mention a Version 3.4.1 test build. These materials come from community leaks and test-data discussions, not a complete official announcement; character plans, collaboration details, animations, and timing remain unconfirmed and may change.
Clash of Clans Players Debate the New Home Village UI as Supercell Addresses Shop Notification Issues
After Clash of Clans introduced its redesigned Home Village interface, players raised concerns about shop navigation, extra taps, interface scaling, and information layout. Supercell said it is evaluating possible improvements, including customization, persistent filter settings, and easier access to frequently used buttons. The developer also clarified that a “FREE” shop notification was caused by a display bug; a Power Pancake was temporarily added while the issue was addressed, and the bug was later fixed. Community reports about free gifts and the Fiery Lava Puppy decoration should not be treated as confirmation that every player received the same rewards.
Clash of Clans Permanently Reduces Gem Prices for Equipment Ores
Supercell has announced permanent reductions to the Gem prices of Equipment Ores in Clash of Clans. Shiny Ore drops from 1 Gem to 0.5, Glowy Ore from 5 to 3 Gems, and Starry Ore from 35 to 20 Gems. The developer says the changes are intended to improve value for players and estimates that the Gem cost of maxing an Epic Equipment item will decrease by roughly half. The new prices are being rolled out across different in-game purchase locations.
Steam Fully Launches Personal Calendar and Begins Testing Achievement Sets
Steam has officially graduated Personal Calendar from Steam Labs into a full Steam Store feature. It recommends recently released and upcoming games based on players’ playtime and the activity of users with similar gaming habits. Recommendations refresh daily and cover an approximately eight-week release window. Steam Achievement Sets has also entered client beta testing, allowing developers to group achievements by base game, DLC, or seasonal content so players can track each set separately; adding new achievements does not necessarily erase progress in previously completed sets.
