Quick update on HoYoverse’s Nodus Fall:
In a statement provided to PC Gamer following Gamescom, HoYoverse confirmed that Nodus Fall will not rely on a traditional gacha model.
Key monetization details:
• Free-to-Play structure
• All characters unlocked strictly through gameplay progression
• Monetization limited entirely to optional cosmetics and skins
A noticeable shift in strategy compared to Genshin Impact and their previous titles.

Cygames went out of their way to actually pay for the plane tickets and other expenses for trainers who planned or on their way to US for the cancelled concert
That's a VERY generous move from a company ngl. Most, if not all, would only cover the ticket fees
Okay nvm I guess it is a pattern lol
4 cancelled/adjusted concerts in a year is wild
5.1 month median approval time with 80% of non-premium visas in 13 months is genuinely unrealistic to plan an event around
Huh, Tarokiki also just had visa issues for the WuWa Concert and is Chinese but lives in Japan
Too few data points to say with confidence its related to our current administration, but regardless I'm worried that this may create a chilling effect for future JP performers/IPs
It is with heavy hearts that we must announce the cancellation of the Umamusume: Pretty Derby – 7th EVENT: THE STAGE in LOS ANGELES concerts planned for Oct 22–23, 2026.
Although we have coordinated repeatedly with all parties concerned and explored every possible option in our efforts to make this event happen, we were unable to obtain the necessary visas for entry into the US, so we have come to the painful conclusion that holding the concerts is no longer possible.
To all the Trainers who were eagerly looking forward to the show, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and concern this causes, and for announcing this so close to the event date.
Due to this cancellation, we will process refunds for the following:
・On-site viewing tickets
・Streaming tickets
In addition, we are looking into possible responses to Trainers who were planning to attend the concert in person. This will take some time, so we ask for your patience. Details will be announced on the 7th EVENT WORLD TOUR official website.
Once again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this causes to all the Trainers who were eagerly looking forward to the concerts, as well as to the Umamusume cast, partner company staff, and everyone involved who put tremendous effort into making this event happen.

After the 6.5 hour wait the day before they gave me a queue time pass to come in for a time slot to get in right away
They also got my email down for priority when the online store for the merch comes up so that I can get whatever they were out of stock on that I wanted, which is mostly the Daughter Plush
REDEMPTION AFTER THE 6.5 HR WAIT 5050 LOSS ON SATURDAY AND GOT ALL THE 5 STAR PLUSH
Thank you to the kind Kuro Staff for doing all they could with the situation they were in
Out of Daughter Chibi Plush but it is what it is

6.5 hours spent in line and I lost 5050 I guess

THE VISA CRISIS IN THE U.S.
The UMAMUSUME: Pretty Derby concert in L.A. was cancelled, the 4th after KPOPWORLD, TAEMIN and recently a prominent VA from Wuthering Waves that also was unable to enter the U.S. for the concert.
According to the USCIS, it is found that the backlogs of Performance visas have gotten worse, with 2026 nearly doubled in backlogs, from 3.5 months to 5.1 months median. After FY 2024, the length of finalization were delayed ever longer, indicating the current administration is behind these slower process times and tougher approvals to deter immigration visits.
Even if Cygames paid for premium processing (which is nearly $3,000 an individual), there's a 50/50 chance they will encountered a trap known as the Request For Evidence (RFE) trap which will push the approval clock back further. Being the concert having 17 performers, staff and production teams, the RFE would be the reason of the approval not finalized in those 6+ months.
According to USCIS processing times, 80% of non-premium visa cases are finalized in 13 months, more than the 6 months Cygames had to process, which whether premium or not, forced them to make an ultimatum and cancel the LA shows.
2026 has been the toughest year for international acts to perform in the country and many are feeling this pain and may continue unless companies apply far in advance, or there's changes in the government. Entertainment companies that had acts performed here have knowledge of the complications with the American visa process. @umamusume_eng

#wutheringwaves#tothenewworld#wuwa2026tour
Totes late on posting this since the store was open yesterday and thats when I bought the things lol
Wanted to get the suitcase photo but I was checked out of the hotel, had to stuff them into my luggage in the hotel lobby and didn't want to snap the photo there, passed tf out after my red-eye flight, then forgot until right now and its 9pm lol
I didn't ask for a Chisa bag so not sure, but the staff did let me know that they will be selling this merch online later on this month now that the tour is over
Since I wasn't able to get in on Saturday they were kind enough to put me and others who go cut off on a priority list to get stuff from that store when it opens up, which was really nice for those who couldn't come back the next day like me and I will probs order a daughter plush that I couldn't bc they were sold out.
The gave a lot of the early queuers time slot passes to come back later to try to thin out the early line
When the 6-7pm timeslots came back they got inserted infront of the person infront of me and they were the last ones they could take in before the concert lol
They did give me a queue pass to come back and skip the line the next day though, luckily my flight wasn't until the evening so I was able to come by
..alright which one of you yelled djkim during the concert 🤨
(thank you guys for organizing this little meetup after the show, it was so sweet of you all!!)
today meant so much to me beyond the show itself (which was AMAZING). but getting to connect with people in the wuwa community was the biggest highlight. it's also insane just seeing so many people gathered for wuwa in NA for the very first time.
and.. I'm still trying to take in just how many people came up to say hi throughout the night. it genuinely made me feel so appreciated, and I don't even know how to put into words how much that means to me.
my heart is so full 😭 can't wait to start editing all the footage I captured for the vlog!!
and the lynae cosplay will show up in another video.. catch it, if you can... 👀🎸
10,000 km away, but still got to be part of the final show of the Wuthering Waves Tour!! 🥹💕
What an unforgettable journey… Every single moment has become a memory I’ll treasure forever.
So much love to all the Rovers, the band, and everyone who made this tour possible. Thank you all for everything and for all your hard work!!!
Until we meet again, Rovers!! 🫶🏻✨
FINAL UPDATE TO QUELL THE MISINFO:︀︀︀︀
︀︀︀︀
︀︀︀︀‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️tl;dr ︀︀︀︀‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
THIS IS BILIBILI'S AI CREATOR PROGRAM RUNNING AN AI VIDEO CONTEST USING THE LATEST ENDFIELD UPDATE TO PROMOTE THEIR SELF-MADE INHOUSE AI TOOL, UPDREAM
THE MOST HG/GL DID IN THIS WAS JUST SIGN OFF SINCE BILIBILI IS A CO-PUBLISHER OF ENDFIELD︀︀︀︀
HG IS NOT MAKING AN AI CONTENT CREATOR PROGRAM︀︀
︀︀︀︀︀︀‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
After talking to CN people, personally going to the site pages and translating them, on top of having more info shared by people linking me CN tweets breaking down the pages: the whole thing is a Bilibili AI Creation Contest Event independently pushed by Bilibili to promote their latest AI tool, Updream, with a contest surrounding the latest patch of Endfield.
All the rewards are Bilibili currency (Shells and Updream points), not in-game items.
HG HAS NOT PROMOTED THE CONTEST ON THEIR OFFICIAL PAGE, THEIR LAST POST IS A POST PROMOTING SI. UPDREAM OFFICIAL IS THE ONE PROMOTING THE CONTEST WITH THEIR POST.
IT IS MISINFORMATION TO SAY THAT HG/GL IS THE ONE WHO PROMOTED THE CONTEST WHEN THEY JUST CO-SIGNED IT AT THE MINIMUM SINCE BILIBILI IS A COPUBLISHER FOR ENDFIELD
AK CN Shitposting has deleted their tweet after being notified that it is misinformation that HG/GL is opening an AI Content Creator program when in fact it is a contest pushed by BIlibili to promote their AI tool APP.
Link to the promo site and translations will be supplied below.
Hello everyone, this is Tarokiki.
I regret to inform you that, due to unforeseen visa-related issues, I will be unable to participate in the Los Angeles stop of the Wuthering Waves Concert Tour “To the New World” on October 17th.
I have long been looking forward to meeting you all in Los Angeles, and I truly cherish the opportunity to connect with Wuthering Waves and all the Rovers. Therefore, I am really sorry for being unable to perform this time.
My heartfelt thanks go to all the Rovers who have been looking forward to this performance and have shown me their support.
Although I cannot be there with you in person, I will be looking forward to every wonderful moment of the Los Angeles performance, just as you are.
I sincerely hope that all Rovers attending the Los Angeles concert will fully enjoy the music and the stage, and take home wonderful memories of this autumn.
I sincerely look forward to meeting everyone in a better way in the future.
Thank you all.
