Epic and the Avengers have teamed up for a new Fortnite game mode in celebration of Avengers: Endgame’s release. This time around the game mode is a lot more involved and we’re getting more than just Thanos. For this game mode, called Endgame, players will face off against Thanos and his army of Chitauri warriors. The Map widget was setting its anchors inappropriately when moved in the HUD layout tool, making some attached game mode UI push the Map widget off the screen. SOCIALAdded an option to

Atlus and Koei Tecmo are teaming up to reimagine Persona 5 as a Dynasty Warriors-style beat-’em-up called Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers. In a teaser trailer for Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers, protagonist Joker is shown fighting alongside his persona, Arsene, at Shibuya’s famous “scramble” crossing. In the style of Koei Tecmo’s Warriors (aka Musou) games, Joker is seen battling dozens of Persona 5 Shadows at once. Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers is being developed b

Nintendo’s president today told investors that “we have no plans” to announce a new Nintendo Switch configuration at E3 2019, implying the company is sticking with the current Switch. Nintendo also issued earnings guidance and Switch sales projections below analysts’ estimates, further chilling ardor for a stock that had risen about 33 percent before the news. Furukawa also confirmed reports that the company is working with Tencent Holdings to sell the Switch in China, but added that they have n

Life is Strange 2’s third episode, titled “Wastelands,” will be released May 9, five months after episode 2’s premiere back in January. Episode 3 picks up the story with Sean and Daniel still on the run. They’d hopped a freight train and continued south, and given the greenhouse full o’ ganj, they may still be in Oregon.

From new shows to returning hits, it can all get a little overwhelming (and you may still be catching up with the best anime of last year). To whittle down the seemingly endless selection of animation that the year already has to offer, we’ve put together a list of the best anime shows of the last few months. Polygon Essentials is a collection of persistently updated lists of the best of the best games for each platform — from the hardware’s launch to its end of production — as well as the best

Super Smash Bros. stage builder mode, which allows players to create and share custom stages, has gone about as expected in its first week on offer. Perhaps that’s an exaggeration, but it does describe the moderation headache Nintendo (and by extension, Smash fans) signed up for when this toolkit launched. So @Nintendo has, in their infinite wisdom, decided that this stage featuring the trans flag violates their TOS. #SmashBros #NintendoSwitch pic.twitter.com/9FWgQpcCDG — Warm Safflina (@WarmSaf

Epic Games gave bans to more than 1,200 Fortnite accounts and revoked cash prizes that more than 200 players had won following Epic’s investigations of cheating in the first week of Fortnite’s World Cup Online Open. Nine prize winners lost their money for sharing accounts, and one winner’s earnings were vacated for teaming. After the first week of solo-play qualifiers ended, two players — including one who qualified for the World Cup — were accused of cheating. “Unsportsmanlike conduct from part

In MLB The Show, players can give their creations (whether RTTS or in the main game) any of 1,329 batting swings and 712 pitching deliveries. Many of these are listed under their owner’s name, either because they’re currently an MLB player or they’re an old-timer licensed to appear in the game. Again, because of licensing, no player without MLB service can be a member of the MLB Players Association, and therefore they are not covered by the group license to their likeness. The rosters can be fou

The Steam community ganged up on Ubisoft this week, but this time, it was to cover Assassin’s Creed Unity in praise for the publisher’s efforts to help the restoration of Notre-Dame de Paris. Earlier this week, Ubisoft made the PC version of Assassin’s Creed Unity free, and chipped in another €500,000 to rebuilding efforts for the 856-year-old Notre-Dame, whose roof and spire burned on Monday. The cathedral is a prominent landmark in Assassin’s Creed Unity’s French Revolution-era Paris, and Ubis

When fans arrive at Disney Parks’ new Star Wars-themed lands, they’ll be able to build their own custom droids. Disney Parks staff was on hand at this year’s Star Wars Celebration in Chicago to demonstrate the new toys. They explained that guests will be able to build them at the Droid Depot, a new shop opening at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Anaheim, California, on May 31. Additional accessories include a drink tray, identical to the one that R2-D2 carried on Jabba’s sail barge in Star Wars: Ret

Tim Burton is one of modern filmmaking’s best-known directors — largely because his films all look like Tim Burton films. But what does it mean to be “Burton-esque?” Is there a way to catalog the visual ingredients of a Burton film? Tim Burton in his Halloween costume made by his mother. “I couldn’t even fake the Disney [art] style,” he wrote later in the book Burton on Burton. As a mature artist, Tim Burton’s work married his love of the surreal to stories that stripped away the banality of eve

The first trailer for Amazon’s The Boys showcases the upcoming series’ violence and sexuality. Thus, a secret CIA task force known as “The Boys” is in charge of policing superhero behavior, something they must do without any super powers. A film version of The Boys was optioned in 2008, but by 2013, the project was canceled. The Amazon series will be its first on-screen adaptation, and is produced by the team behind Sausage Party (Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg) and the creator of Supernatural (Er
