It's been a bit of a slow one today, but that doesn't mean there weren't plenty of big stories to read about. For example, the release date for the third Sonic the Hedgehog movie was revealed, but we're in for a bit of a wait, unfortunately.

Aside from that, we also got confirmation that Guilt Gear Strive's newest addition Bridget is now canonically transgender as well as the release of Update 1.06 for Elden Ring, bringing with it tonnes of nerfs and balance reworks. All that and more if you read on.

Bridget was recently added to Guilty Gear Strive and it has now been confirmed that the character is officially trans.

Elden Ring Update Changes Summoning, Invading, And Rolling

Updates may not be a big deal for most games, but for Elden Ring, they're a major event. Update 1.06 was rolled out today, bringing with many fan requests such as nerfs to Bloodhound Step and Rivers of Blood. It has also slightly tweaked the dodging mechanics, letting players with lighter loads roll slightly further than heavier players. The final big change relates to summoning, as summon signs can now be sent to summoning pools in distant areas rather than the one your character is in.
