If you want to check out all of the changes coming to Fortnite with patch v5.41, you can check out the patch notes. Turns out Epic agrees, as the Port-a-Fortress has been added to the game in patch v5.41. While this week’s patch notes don’t provide much context for the change, it’s not hard to guess at the issues. As of patch v5.41, Epic is making the hold timer for editing structures on a controller just a little shorter. Instead of the console’s own specific logos, Fortnite now uses a generic

It can feel like other people are finally catching onto a small thing that makes your world seem a bit more friendly. me before seeing why Toad is trending vs me after seeing why Toad is trending pic.twitter.com/8LsY05lfBG — shauna (@goldengateblond) September 18, 2018The good news: That character is still that character. And Toad is still our Toad, despite some efforts to take him from us. He may be the only Nintendo character with a military rank, despite his demeanor. Toad has done no wrong;

The first trailer for the highly anticipated Captain Marvel is here. Joining Larson are Samuel L. Jackson returns as Nick Fury and Clark Gregg as Agent Phil Coulson. “I’m not what you think I am,” Captain Marvel says, before the trailer cuts to her fully powering up in her red, blue and gold suit. Set in the 1990s, “Captain Marvel” is an all-new adventure from a previously unseen period in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Captain Marvel will be in theaters March 8, 2019.

Star Ocean developer tri-Ace will re-release its role-playing game Resonance of Fate for PlayStation 4 and Windows PC via Steam this October, the developer announced today. The “4K/HD Edition” of the RPG promises a full remaster of the 2010 game. An announcement trailer for Resonance of Fate 4K/HD Edition shows off the game’s “acrobatic gun combat.” The firearms-focused RPG lets players take control of three protagonists (Zephyr, Leanne, and Vashyron) who use flamboyant, turn-based attacks in ba

Sega’s long-running puzzle game series Puyo Puyo is getting a competitive version that’s recognized by Japan’s official esports union. The game, straightforwardly titled Puyo Puyo eSports, is coming to Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in October. Puyo Puyo eSports looks very similar in presentation to 2014’s Puyo Puyo Tetris, minus the Tetris component. The esports-focused spin on the blob-dropping puzzle game takes its rules from two previous entries: Puyo Puyo 2 (first released in 1994) and P

Today’s Fortnite patch is pretty interesting, bringing the additions of the Port-a-Fortress item and a new item for the Playground that allows you to spawn your own Spiky Stadium that’s enclosed by damage traps and bouncers. The Port-a-Fortress is basically a Port-a-Fort that spawns a much more imposing structure when thrown. LIMITED TIME MODE: SOARING SOLOSSummaryClassic Battle Royale with gliders that can be re-deployed by pressing Jump when falling from large heights. PLAYGROUNDWe’ve introduc

Square Enix released a new trailer for Kingdom Hearts 3 ahead of this week’s Tokyo Game Show, revealing new details about Sora, Donald and Goofy’s trip to the world of Disney’s Big Hero 6. The Kingdom Hearts 3 Big Hero 6 trailer — which follows a shorter trailer released during a PlayStation press event last week — shows our heroes journeying to San Fransokyo, the futuristic home of Baymax and friends. The trailer also shows off a new aspect of Sora’s Gummiphone: He can pose for selfies with fri

But it seems like his fellow nominee Donald Glover, who created and stars in Atlanta on FX, was planning something big if he had won the award. It’s a straight reference to “Teddy Perkins,” one of the more bizarre episodes from this season of Atlanta. And Donald Glover, instead of retiring the character, decided to bring Teddy Perkins out one more time, although it appears he gave Stanfield the costume this time. Donald Glover, as viewers later caught upon re-watch, was actually seated elsewhere

“[But] it’s important for us to look at it not in a very serious way, because it’s not our job.”This was definitely the duo’s approach. After a song-and-dance about how this year’s diverse nominees “fixed” the problems in the film and TV industry, Jost and Che arrived to pick at the scab. “We’re happy to be sharing this night with the many people in Hollywood who haven’t been caught yet,” said Che in his opening remarks. “And it gets way higher ratings.”By the time Jost and Che wrapped their ope

Nier: Automata had the best video game soundtrack of 2017. It’s an album hobbled by its primary purpose of serving the game, carrying a good deal of its emotional load. In no way is the original soundtrack bad — in fact hardcore Nier fans may still prefer its everything-and-the-kitchen-sink approach. I just saw the orchestration live at the Yokohama National Hall, and the soundtrack holds up spectacularly in a large venue. And hopefully Square Enix recognizes the magic of the Nier orchestration

DC Entertainment’s recently launched streaming service DC Universe isn’t just the only place you’ll be able to watch the show where Robin says “Fuck Batman.” It’s also a bonafide comics reader, with a free back catalogue of some of DC Comics’ greatest hits. But how do you make sense of a full 70 years of DC Comics history? (DC Universe doesn’t have them nicely bundled, but you can find Mister Miracle, The New Gods, and The Forever People #1-3 on the service). And yet, Grayson is one of the most

Killmonger was the biggest breakout star of 2018’s Black Panther movie, no small feat in a film in which virtually every secondary character now has a loyal following. And in Killmonger, it seems like Hill will also be interrogating the nexus of inheritance by family and inheritance by culture. “To me the iconic fight between Erik Killmonger and T’Challa is tragic,” he told Vulture. “What I would like to let readers know is they should expect the unexpected with this,” Hill told Vulture. “If the

Anything less than constant forward motion is met with game design that often feels like a tired sigh. Don’t you know that the game has places to be, and a certain pace it would you like to keep up? But each puzzle that stands in my way has a clue that is provided quickly, and then repeated over and over until I get the point. And you’ll know when to do so, because there’s mud on the ground and the foliage growing over the structures will light up in bright yellow when you hit the R3 button. Sha

You don’t have to look hard to see Bungie’s heritage percolating through the current Halo games, though. The next chapter will ship under the name Halo: Infinite, which echoes the title of the Marathon trilogy’s finale, Marathon: Infinity. Destiny 2 doesn’t include any such overt connections to the Marathon games, but you don’t need to work too hard to spot the connections between Bungie’s past and present projects. Marathon: Infinity reads like an early prototype for Destiny in a lot of ways, a

The entire first season of Forever, Amazon Studios’ take on the boredom and limits of middle-aged monogamy, is available to stream right now. note: This article contains spoilers for Forever season 1.] Forever isn’t Lost, where even the biggest twists didn’t change what you expected from the show. The season is almost half over before you get a sense of what the show is, and what it’s trying to do. We may write more about it later, but for now stop reading about it and go watch it if you’re an A

The first season of The Dragon Prince wraps up just the way a fantasy series ought to: victory for the main trio of heroes. Viren’s not messing around and he now has a trove of dark magic at his disposal. The penultimate episode introduced certain dark magic artifacts and practices. The Dragon Prince hatched and he’s the cutest darn dragon you ever did see. All that combined with the threat of Viren’s dark magic and the mysterious mirror that means the trio’s mission isn’t as dry-cut as they mig

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s new battle royale mode Blackout concluded its beta on Monday afternoon, but not before trying to squeeze a few more players into every game first, bringing each match’s total players up to 100. During the beta’s initial release on PlayStation 4, the number of players that could be in any one Blackout match was capped at 80. This max capacity held until the beta reached its official end point, 1 p.m. However, Treyarch announced on Twitter that the company would be exte

The plight: Religious blood cults are kidnapping people. Apostle promises a gruesome thriller that should scare and shock and further solidify the caliber of both actor and director. To retrieve her, Thomas travels to the remote location and embeds himself among the members, led by Prophet Malcolm (Michael Sheen). Thanks to bloodlust and the general evil of man, the rescue operation does … not go smoothly. Apostle hits Netflix on Oct. 12.

The latest trailer for Disney’s Mary Poppins Returns shows off the wondrous magic of Mary Poppins. Mary Poppins has come back to England to take care of the Banks children again — the two grown children, specifically. Keeping in spirit of the original, Mary Poppins brings the children to a wonderfully animated world. Alongside Blunt and Miranda, playing lamplighter Jack, the Mary Poppins Returns cast includes Ben Whishaw and Emily Mortimer as Michael and Jane Banks. Mary Poppins Returns floats i

Board game developer Triton Noir announced that the Kickstarter campaign for Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood of Venice will go live this November. The narrative takes place between between Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood and Assassin’s Creed: Revelations. Kotaku reviewed the game last year, noting that it’s effectively a board game adaptation of 1998’s stealth strategy game Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines. This isn’t the first time that Assassin’s Creed has been licensed for a board game. There have b
