Genshin Impact Nod-Krai teaser reveals Varka and Alice character designs, elements, and voice actors
Varka, the Grandmaster of the Knights of Favonius, appears with a tall, muscular build and visible battle scars, highlighting his combat experience. The teaser shows him wielding the Claymore weapon Wolf's Gravestone, confirming his status as a Claymore user. Additionally, his Anemo vision is clearly displayed on the left side of his coat, solidifying his elemental alignment.
Meanwhile, Alice—an eccentric and powerful figure in Genshin Impact lore and the mother of Klee—also makes her long-awaited debut. She is depicted with long blonde hair, elf-like ears, and a distinctively styled witch's hat. Her Pyro vision is attached to her hat, though the teaser does not explicitly show her weapon of choice. Given her identity as a witch, it is speculated she may be a Catalyst user.
Voice actor details for both characters have also been revealed. Varka is voiced by Sugita Tomokazu (Japanese), Park Sang-hoon (Korean), and Hao Xianghai (Chinese), while his English voice actor has not yet been announced. Alice is voiced by Rachel Kimsey (English), Inoue Kikuko (Japanese), Yeo Min-jeong (Korean), and Zhang Qi (Chinese).
As two of the most significant unrevealed characters in the game's lore, their debut has generated significant excitement among the Genshin Impact community. More information on their roles, story involvement, and playability is expected to be revealed as the Nod-Krai update approaches.

Bradley Simpson collaborates with ATEEZ's Hongjoong on new Korean-English version of single Almost
Bradley Simpson has released a new version of his single Almost, featuring Hongjoong of South Korean group ATEEZ. The collaboration blends Simpson's original composition from The Panic Years with new Korean-language lyrics written and performed by Hongjoong. The updated version includes a rewritten second verse and additional vocal harmonies contributed by Hongjoong. In a statement shared on July 25, Simpson described the process as 'very organic,' noting that the collaboration began after Hongjoong posted Almost to his Instagram story. 'We started chatting and he sent a lyric within two weeks,' said Simpson. 'It's really interesting to work with musicians who have different musical styles with me.' Hongjoong also expressed appreciation for Simpson's music and called the collaboration a creative opportunity. 'Everything went very naturally – the way it approached the song made it easier for me to find a match,' he said. 'Our style is different, but it made it even more interesting.' The new version of Almost reflects a cross-cultural creative exchange, with both artists bringing unique elements to the reinterpretation. It follows previous collaborative efforts from Simpson, including work with Nieve Ella on Favourite Band. Bradley Simpson is scheduled to perform at multiple UK festivals, including Together Again, Boardmasters on August 10, and Victorious on August 24.

Genshin Impact player full clears Spiral Abyss challenge on an Apple Watch
A Genshin Impact player has completed Floor 12 of the Spiral Abyss in version 5.8 using an Apple Watch, achieving a full nine-star score, a milestone that challenges even experienced players on high-end devices. The player shared their run on the Chinese video platform Bilibili, demonstrating how they cleared Genshin Impact's endgame content using the small Apple Watch screen. The device used appears to be the Apple Watch Ultra, which does not natively support the game. There is no official cloud version for the Apple Watch, suggesting the player likely used a paired iPhone or PC with remote access to stream the game to the device. This setup allowed control of the game through the watch while the processing was handled externally, turning the watch into a miniature console. Despite the hardware limitations and restricted screen size, the player managed to clear all three chambers of Floor 12 within the time limit. Spiral Abyss 5.8 presents a challenging environment, featuring high-HP world boss enemies such as the Secret Source Automaton: Overseer Device, Wayward Hermetic Spiritspeaker, and Gluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King. Clearing this floor with a nine-star score requires precise rotations and timing, which the player achieved despite the unconventional setup. Users on Bilibili praised the accomplishment, with one commenting, 'Someone that's truly strong never complains about their environment,' while another noted, 'He plays better than me playing on my mobile.'

Labubu doll left at Karl Marx's grave in London sparks viral reactions online
A viral photo showing a Labubu doll sitting at Karl Marx's grave has captured the internet's attention, blending cultural contradiction with humour and irony. Spotted at Highgate Cemetery in London, the Pop Mart character, symbolic of today's consumer-driven collectible culture, was placed beside the final resting place of one of capitalism's most outspoken critics. A Labubu was left on Karl Marx's grave. — Pop Crave (@PopCrave) July 24, 2025 The visual struck a chord online, with users calling it 'the most ironic moment in recent memory.' Known for being a product of surprise boxes and limited-edition hype, Labubu represents the very market obsession Karl Marx critiqued. 'Placing a Labubu there is actually akin to performing voodoo on Marx,' one user joked. Another wrote, 'Yes, there's a Labubu on Marx's grave. Capitalism won.' The scene became even more layered with the presence of a handwritten letter from Chinese student Liu Yuhae. The note thanked Marx for shaping her worldview and included a heartfelt line: 'I already look like a potato now... It has always been my long-cherished wish to cook potatoes for you every day in the afterlife.' Though some found the moment sweet, most online reactions focused on the symbolic clash. One user wrote, 'Labubu could be one of the most anti-Marx things,' while another added, 'The fact of knowing there is currently a Labubu on Karl Marx's grave bothers me at least twice in every hour.' From confused laughter to philosophical reflection, the image has sparked global conversation.
