The latest update for Fortnite Battle Royale adds vending machines to the game that will sell players randomized loot. At first glance, that might sound a bit loot box-y, but Fortnite’s new vending machines look more like an easy way to spend surplus in-game materials (not real-world money) in the hopes of scoring something good. According to Epic’s latest patch notes for Fortnite — the developer describes this as a content update, a weekly refresh of the game that won’t require a totally new pa

The newest Overwatch comic is now live. Blackwatch, Overwatch’s black ops division before the organization’s fall, was tasked with the dirty deeds that the utopian peacekeeping task force was unable to take. The latest comic explores what one of these crucial missions looked like.

Marvel and FX’s hit show Legion is back tonight for a second season, and you could be forgiven for needing a reminder of how last season went. If you ask us, Legion’s first season had its ups and downs, but the finale still held our attention. And it looks like there’s going to be a dance number, at least judging by the season two trailer. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered there, too. The show’s second season premieres tonight, April 3, on FX.

On May 25, 2018, Pokémon Go players who attended the disastrous festival in Chicago’s Grant Park in the summer of 2017 will get a very unusual alert on their smartphones. It’s all thanks to a settlement reached in a class-action lawsuit against the game’s developer, Niantic. If users have the Pokémon Go app installed and allow for push notifications, they’ll receive a court-mandated offer directing them to a website for further information. Users must have registered for Pokémon Go Fest through

Board game designer Rob Daviau and the team at Restoration Games faced a huge challenge when they decided to update Fireball Island, a classic board game from 1986. How the hell do you re-create a game that is remembered for being so much larger than life? The issue was that no one remembers Fireball Island as it was — they remember how it felt at the time. It was a toy as much as a game, and that board seemed massive at the time, with a verticality that was missing from most board games. The ma

Yo-kai Watch has never become the Pokémon competitor Level-5 likely wants it to be, despite its ambitious efforts. Even if the Nintendo 3DS games are more derivative of the monster-collecting genre than an inspired take on them, Yo-kai Watch did have at least one truly fantastic entry: Yo-kai Watch Wibble Wobble. Yo-lai Watch Wibble Wobble is a match-style puzzle game, where Yo-kai heads replace blocks and the game board is a big ol’ circle. The point is to string together as many Yo-kai “wib wo

Atlas News, one of the biggest news sources in the fictional world of Overwatch, re-ran an article today that was originally published eight years ago. Morrison even confirmed that Overwatch had some suspicions as to who was behind the attack. We know from the Archives teaser that this year’s mission, known as Overwatch: Retribution, takes place eight years ago. Morrison, Reyes, and Amari were all getting a little grey and tired. In a couple of short years, Amari would be “Killed in Action”, and

Westworld’s second season will allow guests to explore a second world teased at the end of the first season, and this one will be far more violent. “For those for whom Westworld is not enough, the true connoisseur of gore can indulge their fantasies with the slash of a katana,” the description reads. Let your true self take shape in the land where self-discovery is an art form.”Well then. We saw glimpses of the new park in a recent trailer for Westworld released by HBO. As we pointed out previou

The Video Game Theatre Players have long been renowned for their adaptations of the most poignant and emotional game sequences that were already set to human voices. Now, they take a bold stab in a new direction: a medley of scenes from Pokémon games, none of which are voiced. Here we see Brian David Gilbert, returning to the stage with a bold interpretation of the young man Joey, whose love for his special Rattata threatens to destroy him. Viewers will be riveted until the very end, when a surp

Last night the latest map for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds dropped on a new, invite-only test server. It’s smaller by far than either of the two maps already released for the game, but it sacrifices nothing. The map is called Codename: Savage for now, and it’s Battlegrounds’ first 4 km by 4 km map. I’m looking forward to playing it more, and to seeing what professionals and other skilled players do with it going forward. Savage will be live on PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds’ testing server until

While celebrities playing video games isn’t anything new, Fortnite is reaching a pop culture saturation point that few games will be able to match. The latest example of this phenomenon is Logic talking shit about Drake’s Fortnite ability while performing his single during an appearance on Ellen. “Tell that boy Drake he don’t want it with me on Fortnite!” Logic told the crowd in the middle of his performance. We have since entered the world of celebrities using video games for attention. Those d
