  • At the end of 2018, Fortnite developer Epic Games revealed a new initiative that would allow player creations to be featured on a small area of the official island map. The change comes on the heels of player concern that the Mysterious Mansion area appeared to depict a suicide scene. The Mysterious Mansion was the creation of Fortnite player FuryLeaks, and it provided players with an abandoned and overgrown house to explore. After its publication, Fortnite was quietly updated and Epic removed t

  • Beyoncé’s 2018 Coachella performance was an instant hit (the set even has its own Wikipedia page), and is now the subject of Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé, a documentary that is equal parts candid footage, interviews, and concert footage. The film is notable not only for its look into the process of bringing the Coachella set, which paid tribute to America’s historically black colleges and universities, to life, but for being a film by Beyoncé, about Beyoncé. The trailer features candid footage

  • Those Who Remain is a dark, foggy, moody horror title reminiscent of Silent Hill and P.T., blending first-person exploration with dimension shifting puzzles and shambling monsters. It’s not the first horror title from Camel101, who released the sci-fi survival horror Syndrome in 2016, but Those Who Remain trades sci-fi trappings for a more mundane supernaturality. Ricardo and Bruno Casteiro, two brothers and founding members of Camel101, explain that the game is not meant to be strictly a horror

  • This is a perfectly normal sentence for Shazam stories, because comics are awesome. Like a real life caterpillar, Mind made a chrysalis and metamorphosed into a giant, universe-consuming moth monster that could travel through time. Again, another perfectly normal sentence for Shazam comics. Another famous DC supervillain was alluded to during Shazam!, as the Wizard told Billy the story of an “ancient champion” who held the power of Shazam but became corrupted. It could even completely sidestep M

  • A new clip from Marvel Studios’ long-awaited Avengers: Endgame reveals the most we’ve seen yet about the plot of the Avengers: Infinity War sequel. And, as six of the Avengers stand around and figure out how to take the fight to Thanos, we find out exactly what Captain Marvel was doing on her 20-year space odyssey. It seems as though Thanos has used the Infinity Stones again — for what reason, we’ll have to speculate — and the Avengers have somehow been able to detect it. They owe that to every

  • Latios is returning to Pokémon Go raids for a week, starting from April 15 at 4 p.m. The Eon Pokémon is returning with the possibility of appearing Shiny, similarly to how his sister, Latias, did in February. This means that Latios will be sharing tier five raids with Origin Forme Giratina for a week. While pitting his sister, Latias, against him is kind of sad, she also serves as a pretty good counter. Shiny raid Pokémon have an 100 percent catch rate, provided that you don’t miss all your ball

  • Ever since I heard the original PokéRap, the song that played at the end of every episode of the original Pokémon TV series, I was obsessed. I explained the process — the shortcomings of the original PokéRap and how to fix those shortcomings — that allowed me to create the perfect PokéRap. Though I ran into some difficulties near the end of the panel, the audience helped me fulfill my contract and perform the perfect PokéRap in its entirety. Over the course of the show, I realized the truth abou

In the newest Shazam stories at DC Comics, Billy doesn’t adventure alone: He shares his power with his five foster siblings, just like in Shazam! They’re a Shazam family, but

  • Moving from screen to screen, Zelda-style, new and unexplored areas are stark and undecorated, a blank coloring book for the player’s paintbrush. Spaces previously visited by the player are dotted with splashes of color and patterns, remnants of your last time through the area. In its current very alpha state, playing Drawdog feels like a mix between a freeform coloring book and an inventive puzzler, dotted with occasional character dialogue from the land’s animal citizens reminiscent of Animal

  • The fourth and last character trailer for the forthcoming dungeon-crawler Warhammer: Chaosbane introduces us to Elessa, the Wood Elf Waywatcher. For those who prefer to dodge-roll out of danger rather than block-and-parry against Chaosbane’s horde of baddies, Elessa may be the main for you. Elessa joins Bragi Axebiter, the Dwarven tank, Elontir, a high elf magic-user, and Konrad Vollen, the all-rounder. I played the closed beta at the beginning of March with Konrad and formed these impressions.

  • Or, at least, he thinks that balance is overrated in Dicey Dungeons, the title he’s been working on alongside musician Chipzel and artist Marlowe Dobbe for the past few years. Dicey Dungeons is a card and dice game that follows six quirky characters through procedurally generated episodes of a game show hosted by Lady Luck. Battles in Dicey Dungeons are turn based, and each turn begins with rolling a number of dice. Dicey Dungeon’s whimsical design is a departure from Cavanagh’s previous work. D

  • Meet Kollector, an all-new kharacter koming to Mortal Kombat 11. From this bag o’ goodies, Kollector goes all American Pickers with both his fatal blow and fatality. In the former, Kollector beats Baraka senseless with a flea market’s worth of bric-a-brac. The latter is sort of the same thing in reverse, as Kollector disassembles Baraka and decides what parts to keep in his bloody black back pack. Kollector is the 22nd playable fighter konfirmed for Mortal Kombat 11, which releases April 23, 201
