Capcom is hurrying to resolve a critical bug in Monster Hunter Wilds.
Capcom
Monster Hunter Wilds is achieving remarkable success by all measures, breaking Capcom's previous records for concurrent players on Steam and attracting numerous new hunters. Unfortunately, some players have faced a bug that interrupts their progress in the main story, prompting Capcom to quickly work on a fix. To summarize the issue, a required NPC is missing, which prevents players from advancing in the game. Those who have reached Chapter 5-3 are unaffected and can continue without concern.
Hunters, we are currently looking into the following issue:
- There may be instances where an NPC fails to appear, hindering story progression in Main Mission: Chapter 5-2 A World Turned Upside Down.
We are actively addressing these problems and will provide updates as we have them.

Capcom has not detailed the cause of this bug, but many players associate it with a patch released late Saturday night. This patch was one of several hotfixes aimed at resolving various minor glitches since the game’s launch, and some fans now believe this latest hotfix may have inadvertently caused issues.
Capcom plans to notify players once a solution is found. Meanwhile, there is ongoing demand for fixes to the optimization issues affecting PC and Steam users.
Despite these optimization challenges, Monster Hunter Wilds stands out as one of the franchise's most significant releases. It leverages the strengths of Monster Hunter World while addressing its weaknesses.
Veteran monster hunters will feel quite comfortable in this new installment, but newcomers may benefit from learning about the different weapons and combat styles that suit them best. The game does not provide much guidance at the start, which can make the learning curve quite steep. Fortunately, we have compiled a guide with tips and tricks for an optimal hunting experience. Be sure to check it out before venturing into the wild for the first time.

Technically, all games can be considered simulations, though many tend to deviate from realism. Even the top open-world or survival games take significant liberties, glossing over what would typically be seen as mundane details. The simulation genre not only embraces these details but also makes mastering them a key part of the experience. While there are various meme games poking fun at simulators, the serious ones often rank among the best games available on PS5. Whether you're a simulator enthusiast or seeking a good starting point, here’s a list of the top simulation games on PS5.

The third and fourth chapters of Deltarune are still forthcoming
Toby Fox, the creator of the highly praised Undertale, announced late yesterday that chapters three and four of Deltarune are still in development, with a significant amount of work yet to be completed. In a post on BlueSky, Fox mentioned he is "still console testing," and while he has encountered fewer bugs than earlier, there are still many to address—and he has not yet begun testing on the PlayStation 5.
This update follows the commencement of professional bug testing for the fourth chapter of the game on PC a month ago. Two weeks prior, Fox noted that he needs to implement and test trophies on PlayStation, as they are a requirement for the game's release on that platform.
A Steam page slip-up unveiled more details about Elden Ring: Nightreign
ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN – REVEAL GAMEPLAY TRAILER
Elden Ring: Nightreign, the highly awaited multiplayer title, may include DLC featuring additional playable characters and bosses. This information stemmed from a single line of text on the Steam page that has since been removed. Given how quickly FromSoftware deleted the sentence, it seems likely that the information was not intended for public release yet.
