The Happy Helper plan is $2.99 per month and lets you pick one of your favorite villagers as a campsite helper. While you’re not playing the game, the helper will collect event items and help complete tasks, effectively playing the game while you’re away. Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp’s new subscription plans follow a similar monthly subscription plan for Mario Kart Tour. The Happy Helper plan seems to have to purpose of aiding that.

The first season of Fortnite Chapter 2 will be extended into 2020, developer Epic Games announced today. Last year we celebrated 14 Days of Fortnite over the holidays. To prepare for all the new holiday-themed updates, we will be extending Chapter 2’s first season into early February.

If you got a weird email from Electronic Arts this morning about an activation on your Origin account, congratulations. Last month EA announced that those who opted into its two-factor security system, called EA Login Verification, would receive a free month of Origin Access Basic. “You’ve redeemed an Origin Access Membership Code,” the email states, as received by at least one Polygon editor. EA out here scaring everyone half to death with an Origin Access purchase confirmation, totally thought

After a month of waiting, players traveled into the seasonal Vex Offensive activity to face an old foe from the original Destiny: the Undying Mind. The Vex Offensive is Season of the Undying’s main seasonal activity. But since what Bungie’s calling the Final Assault started, the boss is now the Undying Mind. The Vex Offensive Final Assault is the last thing on Destiny 2’s roadmap for the Season of the Undying. And while it’s possible the studio could be hiding something for the final days, Desti

I have a very bad habit: saying yes when I really want to say no. It comes with being an introvert, I think — I often feel like I should want to say yes to social outings, so I do. Instead, it’s a challenge and a fantasy — a game by developer Studio Fizbin that lets you say no to anything and everything. It’s a “one-button” game, apparently, and it leads into a more complicated decision: Saying no to your best friend. Studio Fizbin released a trailer with the announcement, and it’s definitely go

Pokémon Go is having a Supereffective Week event in-game to celebrate battling and help players out. Shiny Tentacool and Tentacruel are also finally joining the game during this event and will be spawning for lucky players. A single event Field Research requiring players to “use a supereffective Charged Attack in a gym battle” will reward a Tentacool with a chance for it to be Shiny.

Pokémon Sword and Shield brought about a new regional form for the ghost-type Pokémon, Yamask. Galarian Yamask evolves into a Runerigus. Your Galarian Yamask’s level doesn’t matter, as long as it can live with at least 49 health points missing. After running under it with your Galarian Yamask, it will start to evolve. The regular Unovan Yamask can be obtained from trading a Galarian Yamask to a kid in an Eevee outfit at the Ballonlea gym.

NCAA Football 14 entered the world on July 9, 2013. It turned out to be the last release of EA Sports’ college football franchise. College football doesn’t have many events like that, though EA could do scans at big high school combines and all-star games. Crucially, it’ll have to build a whole new version of NCAA Football gameplay that works on Frostbite, its current game engine. If a mountain range or a bunch of trees are visible while you’re playing a game, that’s a bonus.

Not to brag, but I recently had the pleasure of visiting Galaxy’s Edge — Disneyland’s Star Wars theme park — on my honeymoon. I knew this was going to be the premier Star Wars land experience for me, and I wasn’t disappointed. But what I didn’t expect was that I would be able to build an exact replica of my personal saber in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. But others include lightsaber parts that allow me to customize how my lightsaber itself looks. For most of my time with Jedi: Fallen Order, the

Even before I spoke to him outside of the first gym, I knew the undeniable truth: Ball Guy is good. Ball Guy is a friend. Ball Guy does not owe us an explanation. I love Ball Guy, even if I can’t really name search him online without regretting my entire life. Thank you, Ball Guy.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s 725 shotgun is truly incredible. In the latest Modern Warfare patch, released on Tuesday morning, Infinity Ward has taken yet another shot at nerfing the game’s most stubborn weapon. This time instead of just the basic stats, Infinity Ward is also tweaking how much attachments can affect the range damage of the weapon. It seems like only an act of God or Infinity Ward removing the gun completely will slow it down, but the developer is trying its best, so hopefully

One Wooloo, called Ares, found that with a 21-year-old college student and Pokémon player who goes by Celvx online — together, they beat Pokémon Sword and Shield and became the new Galar champions. Yes, Celvx used a single Pokémon, the humble normal-type Wooloo, to take down eight gym leaders and Leon, the current former Galar region champion. “I choose Wooloo because it was available from the start of the game and had almost become a sort of psuedo-mascot for the game, with a lot of fan art for

Pokémon Sword and Shield — OK, technically just Pokémon Shield — has a dire message about the impact of climate change on our world. But the description of the new Galarian Corsola in Pokémon Shield paints a harrowing picture about the fate of Corsola having faced the effects of climate change. “Sudden climate change wiped out this ancient kind of Corsola,” reads Galarian Corsola’s Pokédex entry in Pokémon Shield. If this doesn’t put the fear of climate change into you, what will? Thank you for

In a new blog post on the Diablo 3 website, Blizzard developers posted a system design update for the upcoming Diablo 4.
