Valve roll out Steam Achievement Sets in beta, splitting up games’ perpetually growing trophy masses into DLC and season buckets

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave's DLC weapons give your army a sizeable advantage, though they do come with a few drawbacks. Obtaining the weapons involves completing a new subquest, and each of the four playable Flame Lords gets a special weapon. There's a bit of timeline funkiness involved in getting those weapons to Part 2 or beyond if you've already completed someone's Part 1. It's worth the hassle, though. These weapons are only available as part of the Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave expansion pass, and they've been added to the game as Wave 1 of the DLC. Below, we explain how to get Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave's DLC weapons and what to expect from them. After you purchase and download Fortune's Weave's expansion pass, you'll get an in-game notice about the new weapons. It mentions a subquest, but says nothing about what it is or where — or when — to find it. Here's how it works, though. Each Flame Lord gets one of the new subquests, and the quest becomes available as soon as you get access to the bulletin board in Dagsion. That's roughly during Chapter 4, though when in that chapter depends on the character.

If there’s one word that describes GTA 6, it’s sexy. Since its debut trailer, the new open-world game appears to be a drastic detour from Rockstar’s previous entries, in its enhanced version of Vice City, and in the dynamic between its dual protagonists and how their steamy relationship informs the narrative. Based on roughly 30 minutes of official footage across its four main trailers, club life, excessive robberies, pastel pinks, roaring high-end sports cars, and even more explosive action set pieces than GTA 5 seem to be the hallmarks of this new experience. It’s shaping up to be Rockstar's magnum opus. Of course, while utterly gorgeous and visually striking, those elements aren’t exactly unique to GTA 6.

Nintendo and Intelligent Systems have released an expansion pass for Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, introducing a string of DLC additions to the tactical RPG starting today, and through into 2027. The expansion pass, which can be bought on the Nintendo eShop for $34.99 / £29.99, comes in three parts. For those who buy it now, a selection of weapons are made available to use within the game. The second part of the expansion pass arrives this holiday season, and the final part arrives in 2027.

Valve is beta testing Steam Achievement Sets, a feature that lets developers group a game's achievements into collections. In an announcement, the company said that games "live longer than ever, continuing to receive updates through new DLC, expansions, and seasons", but that achievements added with new content "can be hard to discover and can accidentally break the completion status of players who have already finished the game".
