A new trailer for the upcoming Sims 4 expansion, Discover University, dropped today following leaks confirming the expansion. It showed off a bunch of new content coming with the game, like Sims riding bikes and consoling a crying sim in a bathroom stall. Between programming robots and debating students from other schools, the college sims do indeed party. The trailer shows them doing keg stands and playing “juice pong,” as well as TP-ing a school monument. The Discover University expansion will

Fans of hardcore survival shooter Escape From Tarkov are looking down the barrel of a major update. Even if you haven’t played Tarkov, you may have heard of Battlestate’s history of harassing its detractors. Many players have fixated on the game’s connectivity issues, which have plagued the beta since its launch several years ago. The developers built Tarkov as a session-based game where players risk losing whatever gear they bring with them onto the map. No release date has been set for the upd

Pokémon Go’s leading character, Professor Willow, announced that he found something suspicious while investigating Team Rocket. He calls the newfound tech “Mysterious Components” and notes that these are what Team Rocket have been using to take over PokéStops over the past few months. He also notes that Team Rocket grunts have been dropping these when they’re defeated, which means that’s how we’ll likely obtain them in the future. It’s unknown what the Mysterious Components will be used for, but

When Fortnite Chapter 2 launched last week, players everywhere dropped into a match and claimed a victory royale. And, players remembered that Epic, the developers, noted that bots would now be more pervasive at the lower levels of play. “I forgot Fortnite added bots and here I thought I earned my 6 kills,” one Fortnite player remarked on Twitter. They have usernames that sound believable, and they wear fancy skins, just like a human player might. “Before skill-based matchmaking I would get bopp

Rey, Finn, Poe, and Kylo Ren are all back in one final trailer for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Just when we thought things couldn’t get more twisty and turny (The ruins of the Death Star? We finally get a glimpse of some of the new characters in action, some very sweet Leia moments, and the climactic moments of the Resistance’s face-off against the First Order. Earlier this month, screenwriter Chris Terrio promised that Rise of the Skywalker will answer the ever-pressing question of “Who i

Waluigi, Luigi, and King Boo are all joining Mario Kart Tour for players to unlock. With Luigi’s return, Waluigi crawled out of his tunnel because he couldn’t let the green brother take all the spotlight. To obtain any of these three new characters, players will have to take their chances pulling from the pipe. The pipe is Mario Kart Tour’s version of gacha, which means that the characters you get are completely random. Waluigi, Luigi, and King Boo, along with the two new courses, will be releas

Fortnite chapter 2 is all about aquatics: the map has a number of new waterways; players can swim; there are boats. Since the start of this season, we’ve known about something called the “Mythic Goldfish” thanks to data miners poking in the Fortnite files.

If you’re looking for a visual representation, check out Destiny 2 YouTube content creator Ehroar’s video above. In Vayden’s video above, you can see a preview of Telesto imprinting itself onto other gun models. As of this writing, we don’t know when Bungie will allow Telesto back out into the wild.

Borderlands 3’s Halloween-themed Bloody Harvest Event is coming to the game later this week, and Gearbox just released a trailer to give fans a preview. The trailer shows off new enemies, a new boss, and a new Legendary weapon for players to hunt down. As you would expect from any Halloween event, Bloody Harvest is suitably spooky — which mostly means lots and lots of skulls. As with any Borderlands content, there’s also some new loot available during the Blood Harvest as well. The Bloody Harves

Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg is the world’s largest independent YouTube channel — but if you live in China, you can no longer enjoy the Swedish star’s content. Following a series of jokes referencing the Hong Kong protests, the PewDiePie channel now appears to be censored. The YouTuber announced his blacklisting in a recent video, where he shows a screenshot of what happens if you search “PewDiePie” in China. “I’m laughing but, yeah, I’m sorry if you are in China and trying to watch my videos,” K

The Sims 4 is getting a college-themed expansion called Discover University, according to an apparent leak on the Xbox Games Store.

Expansions where you can send your sims off to college are a series staple, so the announcement of this expansion isn’t surprising. More information will be released offici

When SyFy canceled The Expanse in May 2018, it was fans of the show who came together to try and save it. Idea Planet first solicited ideas from fans on Twitter, and then had them vote on the top ten results. “The show was saved by the fans,” Ableman said. I think it’s just that the stars aligned.”Just like any other Kickstarter campaign, fans can show their support with as little as one dollar.

In an ad in the latest GameStar issue, the upcoming “The Art of Diablo” book references Diablo 4 for the first time.

The problem is that there are a dozen different Pikachu in the game, all with different hats on. There’s flower crown, party hat, straw hat, witch hat, Ash hat, detective hat, santa hat … the list goes on. Either way, the Mimikyu Pikachu is an exciting addition to the game. There’s Pikachu as Guzma, Pikachu in graduation regalia, Pikachu as the three-headed dragon Pokémon, Hydreigon.

Fortnite Chapter 2 debuted earlier this week, and the refresh brought with it a number of changes, including a brand new map. On social media, Fortnite aficionados are complaining about how long it’s taking to make progress in the battle pass. Of course, you could always purchase tiers and bypass the grind … but players don’t like feeling as if they’re being forced to do so.

“The Old Blood” update is all about setting the stage for Empyrean, and two big boys are headlining the show. The Old Blood reworks the Vauban and Ember Warframes, changes the melee system, and adds new cosmetics. The Kuva LichWarframe is never afraid to go over the top; the game blows past “grimdark” into “amazing” by having enemies like this new lad: the Kuva Lich.
