Following a recent update, the file size of Helldivers 2 on PC has surpassed 140GB, leading to frustration among players. Developer Arrowhead Studios responded to this concern in a Steam post titled Tech Blog #1, pointing to the issue as being linked to outdated mechanical HDDs. This blog series will provide regular updates on the game’s performance and ongoing changes.

The file size on PC is nearly three times that of the console version due to data duplication. This method, employed to optimize games for older storage formats such as HDDs and DVDs, is unnecessary for SSDs, which is why this issue does not affect console versions. Arrowhead clarifies that HDDs experience “seek time” delays because data is stored on a rotating platter and accessed by a mechanical arm, in contrast to SSDs.

Arrowhead intends to mitigate data duplication but recognizes the challenge posed by varying player circumstances. They suggest short, medium, and long-term strategies to minimize file size without causing significant increases in load times.

**Short Term:** The upcoming update will implement small enhancements by eliminating unused assets, but the addition of new content will counterbalance these reductions, stopping further size growth.

**Medium Term:** The studio is working on de-duplicating data by creating bundles of “very common assets,” which may lead to slight increases in loading times for HDD users but should stay under 30 seconds. This method might also elevate RAM consumption, a factor they are keeping an eye on to maintain a balance between RAM, load times, and installation size.

**Long Term:** Future enhancements to the engine aim to prevent unnecessary RAM usage for commonly used data, tackling the limitations of the existing methods.

Helldivers 2 is available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Disney has released the primary trailer for the highly awaited anime adaptation of “Twisted Wonderland,” promising an enchanting experience reminiscent of its mobile game roots. For those who are not aware, “Twisted Wonderland” uniquely merges Disney charm with anime visuals, where legendary Disney villains are reimagined as handsome characters attending a prestigious magical institution.

The original mobile game, recognized for its rhythm and combat features, showcases students living in dormitories inspired by notorious Disney villains such as Maleficent, Jafar, and the Queen of Hearts. The anime’s inaugural episode, “Heartslabyul,” centers around the dorm associated with the Queen of Hearts, a narrative that has been previously adapted into a manga.

The universe of “Twisted Wonderland” is depicted as a realm where players, called forth by a magical mirror, find themselves at Night Raven College. This mystical academy is home to skilled yet troubled students, and players must maneuver through the school’s competitive atmosphere while searching for a route back home.

Produced by Yumeta Company and Graphinica, with Takahiro Natori in charge, the anime’s first season, titled “Chapter of Heartslabyul,” will feature eight episodes. Enthusiasts can anticipate its debut on Disney+ on October 29, 2025.

Epic Games has formally announced the complete assortment of content featured in Fortnite as part of their KPop Demon Hunters partnership. Originally hinted at on September 29th, 2025, by actress Rei Ami, who lends her voice to the character Zoey, the KPop Demon Hunter outfits are now accessible in the Fortnite store. Players can now tailor their avatars with skins influenced by characters Rumi, Mira, and Zoey, alongside new Pickaxes and Back Bling such as Mira’s Gok-Do and Zoey’s Ramyeon. These items became available in the Fortnite Shop on October 2nd, 2025.

Each character skin is available for 1,500 V-Bucks, with Pickaxes priced at 500 and Back Bling at 300. However, players have the option to buy the HUNTR/X Bundle for a reduced cost of 3,500 V-Bucks. Furthermore, players can accomplish Quests from Rumi, Mira, and Zoey to gain new items in Battle Royale and Blitz, including Rumi’s Sword and Mira’s X-tra Spicy Ramyeon.

The collaboration also marks the return of Horde Mode and Demon Rush, ideally timed for the eerie season. Players can enlist Rumi, Mira, or Zoey as they engage in battle, while also receiving KPop Demon Hunters-themed perks in between each Survival Phase. Fortnite creators will gain access to film-inspired assets, signature gameplay items, formidable demon adversaries, and HUNTR/X NPCs to design their own KPop Demon Hunters-themed islands.

Sony Pictures Imageworks employed Unreal Engine during the layout stage of KPop Demon Hunters for stunning cinematography and animating combat choreography. This technology aids in achieving the authentic look of Rumi, Mira, and Zoey, closely aligning them with their original material while preserving Fortnite’s distinctive style.

In other news, Fortnite will be bringing back the contentious Peacemaker “Peaceful Hips” emote. Concerns were raised regarding possible associations with Nazi imagery in both the emote and its application in the show. Fortnite Support clarified that there were no creative intentions to link the emote with the current Peacemaker narrative, but they will be adjusting the choreography as a precaution.
