Arriving alongside the long-awaited Steam release, the new Bubble Season update may not boast the 2.0 title, but it certainly brings with it enough new content to rival any major patch we’ve seen in other gacha games, including some features we’ve been eagerly anticipating since launch. Bubble Season introduces a fresh storyline where we find ourselves heading off to the Sea of Stars, which opens with an absolutely stunning segment that introduces you to this mysterious land.

Beyond the Sea of Stars, the new update also introduces the new Serenity Island area, featuring exclusive, world, and random quests, seven new curio domains, the new Bubble Hopper minigame, the Breezy Bubbleboat that allows you to float over the island, and more.

Mario Kart World is more popular than GTA 6, apparently For over ten years now, Japanese video game-focused outlet Famitsu has conducted monthly polls to see what their readers are looking forward to, which brings us to the Famitsu Most Wanted for April 2025. Surprisingly, Mario Kart World has overtaken some key games. Results for the latest most wanted poll (via Nintendo Everything ) are in, having collected votes between April 9 and 15.

The top spot is taken by Dragon Quest 1 and 2 HD-2D Remake, with over 700 votes from readers. The game is coming to Switch, but will also be playable on the newer console.
