The earthquake occurred on Tuesday at the end of the day, triggering tsunami alerts in several Pacific countries, including Japan, Hawaii, Indonesia, Guam, Peru and the Galápagos Islands. The authorities have issued evacuation orders, resulting in the displacement of 1.9 million people, and the inhabitants were invited to seek higher land.
The Japanese authorities expected waves reaching 9.8 feet hit the coastal areas and quickly gave the order to evacuate. The first waves, at least 1 foot high, have already touched the island of Hokkaido, in northern Japan.
Fortunately, the Japanese Fire and Disaster Management Agency did not report any injuries and tsunami alerts were lifted for a large part of the archipelago. However, tsunami alerts still apply to the areas of the Tohoku region and the prefecture of Hokkaido.
ELDEN RING NIGHTINE Released at the beginning of 2025. Despite an initial mixed reception, Steamdb reports indicate that the game reached a historic peak of 313,593 simultaneous players on Steam in the hour that followed its launch, hearing the 953,426 players from Elden Ring.
The game sold 2 million copies on the day of its launch and exceeded 5 million units worldwide. Fromsoftware has decided to add the new cooperative mode to two players following the comments of players and community calls.
Fromsoftware currently gives priority to security before the release of Patch 1.02, due to the threats of tsunami that weigh on the game. Tsunami alerts are gradually fading while fans are waiting for the reprogrammed outing of the next patch ELDEN RING NIGHTREG.
