Month: September 2019

Publisher Bandai Namco has you covered if you’re looking for more My Hero Academia content, as the team announced a new MHA game is headed to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. My Hero One’s Justice 2 is on the way, but no release date has been announced as of yet.

Gematsu reported the news, sharing a screenshot with additional information from the latest issue of Weekly Jump tweeted out by user Spytrue. My Hero One’s Justice 2 is said to be a follow-up to My Hero One’s Justice, which launched on PC and consoles late last year. Not much is known about My Hero One’s Justice 2; however, Gematsu claims it will add new characters–like Kai “Overhaul” Chisaki–and “significantly upgrade” various Quirk abilities. The Xbox One version will be “a digital-only release in Japan.”

In our My Hero One’s Justice review, we said, “It’s a shame My Hero One’s Justice’s Story mode doesn’t do a good job introducing the world of My Hero Academia, with several important narrative beats either missing or revealed through subtitles while you’re busy trying to fight. The offline modes against AI don’t do much for the game either. However, One’s Justice’s combat is both accessible and enjoyable. When two players face off–either online or off–the game captures the adrenaline-pumping feeling of My Hero Academia’s most notable fights. Pulling off moves from the manga/anime and outsmarting an opponent with devastating combos feels rewarding, and that’s enough to keep the player coming back to the game for more.”

In other MHA news, the anime is set to return this October for a fourth season. Funimation announced that My Hero Academia Season 4 will will air on its website and Hulu, with FunimationNow streaming a SimulDub. A second MHA film, My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising, is scheduled to release on December 20 in Japan.

Xur is back for the last time before the launch of Shadowkeep! Destiny 2 will change significantly so this is a good opportunity to visit Xur and find out where he is. Note that Destiny 2 servers will be offline for extended periods of time on 9/30 so visit Xur soon! Captured on PC.

Greg Miller joins the GameSpot After Dark crew to share his thoughts on The Last of Us Part II demo.

The first image of Brandon Routh suiting up as the Man of Steel in The CW’s upcoming Arrow-verse crossover has arrived. In the five-part Crisis on Infinite Earths event, the Legends of Tomorrow star will appear as a version of Superman inspired by the Kingdom Come storyline.

Routh first teased his playing this role at San Diego Comic-Con, but this is the first time we’ve actually seen him in the costume. That said, it’s not his first time playing Superman. He previously played the character on the big screen in 2006’s Superman Returns.

Routh won’t be the only Superman appearing in Crisis on Infinite Earths. Tyler Hoechlin, who appears in the role on Supergirl, will also suit up for the crossover. Additionally, it was recently announced that Smallville star Tom Welling will be reprising his role from that series, playing yet another take on Superman.

The Crisis crossover is loaded with special appearances. Beyond the many Supermans (Supermen?), the event will also see Elizabeth Tullock (Supergirl) and Erica Durance (Smallville) appearing as two versions of Lois Lane, Kevin Conroy (Batman: The Animated Series) as Bruce Wayne, and Burt Ward (Robin in the 1960s Batman series) in an undisclosed role. It’s also been revealed by TV Line that Ashley Scott will pop up playing Huntress, the role she first played in 2002’s short-lived Birds of Prey series.

The Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover will play out over five episodes of TV in December and January. Here’s when you’ll be able to watch the events unfold on The CW:

• Supergirl, December 8 at 8 PM PT
• Batwoman, December 9 at 8 PM PT
• The Flash, December 10 at 8 PM PT
• Arrow, January 14 at 8 PM PT
• DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, January 14 at 9 PM PT

Sweet animated tale that follows a teenage girl and a friendly yeti on their journey to Mount Everest.

Here’s a list of all of the TV series canceled or ending in 2019 so far.

House House’s Untitled Goose Game not having a title is such a big part of its brand, that it’s hard to believe there was ever a title being considered for the game at all. But IGN has learned that one title may have had the slimmest chance of becoming the name for the indie Goose stealth sim.

“We really did intend to come up with something!” House House developer Stuart Gillespie-Cook tells IGN over email. “We’d always just called it ‘goose game’ internally, but when we had to upload footage of it for a festival, we wanted to make it clear that wasn’t the final name, so we put it up as Untitled Goose Game. We didn’t intend for that to be the name of the game, but it really stuck, and we never found anything we liked more.”

Though a cinematic video, the Apex Legends Season 3 trailer does confirm that the battle royale game is getting a new map. You can see the Legends battle it out on the new map in the trailer, which is embedded below, alongside newcomer Crypto–who develops a friendly rivalry with Mirage.

“Welcome to World’s Edge, a new Apex Legends map where molten heat and chemical ice collide,” the trailer’s description reads. “Join our cast of Legends–including the newest Legend, Crypto–on the dropship as they’re whisked from Planet Solace towards World’s Edge on Planet Talos.”

World’s Edge was initially teased via Crypto’s first in-game appearance during Season 2, in which he invaded Kings Canyon to hack the computers in Singh Labs. Upon being discovered, the hacker flees, but not before the computer he’s been working on reveals he’s trying to find a way to visit a location only known as “World’s Edge.”

In the trailer, we see the Legends contending with both ice and fire environmental hazards, although Octane manages to use some water geysers to launch himself up into the air. We also see a city-like, urban area and a moving train. Whether all these elements make it into the actual game remains to be seen, as Respawn has advertised actions in Apex Legends’ cinematic trailers that you can’t actually achieve in-game.

Regardless, a new map is huge for Apex Legends. The battle royale game has been limited to one map since its launch–although, admittedly, it’s an exceptionally well-structured battlefield–so World’s Edge presents a drastic change. Based on the trailer, it seems like the Legends have been moved to this map while the Syndicate finishes fixing Kings Canyon (Crypto destroyed a portion of it at the start of Season 2), so World’s Edge may be the only map you can play in Season 3. We’ll have to wait and see.

Apex Legends is availble on Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
