Miren Mystery: Secret Lair Bonus Card Emerges in Chaos Vault

Secret Lair x Brain Dead: New Earth Mentality Chaos Vault dropped, featuring 10 cards priced at $29.99–$39.99; in an unusual turn, two missing designs—Miren, the Moaning Well and Master of the Feast—show up as bonus cards on some sheets. Miren’s reprint could carry a high premium, though Secret Lair prints typically maintain value. Additional bonuses include Tidal Barracuda and Invasion Plans, but pull rates and final market prices for these extras are still unknown, and the overall value of the drop remains uncertain.

Resident Evil Requiem’s Endgame Puzzle Stumps Players and Reviewers

Kotaku reports that Resident Evil Requiem features a sprawling “Final Puzzle” that has stumped players even after launch. The puzzle starts late in Act 1 when Grace escapes The Girl; picking up the severed hand and scanning it at a microscope yields an RNA-like sequence, “GGC AAG AUA ACG UGU CAU,” which hints at codes for safes and unlocks further clues that increasingly rely on knowledge outside the game. Guides from IGN are being updated as players and outlets chase the solution, and the in-game goal hints that the finale will be reached when “the sweet pair hear the voice.” A solution seems imminent, but no definitive answer has surfaced yet.

FFVII’s New Steam Release Sparks Bug-Ridden Backlash

Kotaku reports that Final Fantasy VII’s latest Steam re-release dropped Feb 24 and already has an overwhelmingly negative reception, with only 36% of 308 reviews positive. Critics cite a forced launcher, stuttering sound, broken resolution options, blurry visuals, and missing features from the delisted 2013 Edition; some patches have fixed issues like doubling the FPS to 30, though that sped up animations, and further patches are anticipated as updates continue.

Donatello’s Technique Poised to Be the TMNT Set’s MVP

A TMNT crossover spoiler centers on Donatello’s Technique, a one-mana common that draws two cards and could enable new infinite combos. While not fitting every deck, it shines in Standard (e.g., Esper Pixie, Dimir Midrange) and looks like an easy upgrade for Commander (Yuriko ninjutsu, Blink decks), making it a strong candidate for the set’s best card.

Destiny 2 Delayed Again as Bungie Promises Massive Loot Overhaul

Destiny 2’s mid-expansion Shadow and Order has been pushed back three months to June 9, 2026, as Bungie undertakes large revisions to address months of player feedback and add sizable quality-of-life updates, including a major loot/progression overhaul (expanded Tiered Gear to all Raids/Dungeons, weapon upgrading, Pantheon 2.0, and more). The delay comes amid a bleak year for the game, with a low concurrent PC player count and an absent public roadmap, fueling concerns about Destiny 2’s health and sparking talk of Bungie shifting attention toward Marathon.
