Bungie has delayed Destiny 2’s Leviathan Prestige Raid.

In a post on the game’s official forums, Bungie said an exploit was discovered in the Leviathan Raid that makes its enemy encounters easier than they should be. Since this could potentially tarnish the legacy of the team who earns the World First Bonus for completing the more difficult, Prestige version of the Raid, the developer has decided to postpone its launch to fix the exploit.

As such, Destiny 2’s first Prestige Raid will now go live on Wednesday, October 18 at 10am PT/1pm ET/6pm UK (October 19 at 4am AET).

The Leviathan Prestige Raid was announced last week among a slew of other new content, including Destiny 2’s first Iron Banner event and new armor sets.

Star Wars Battlefront II introduces a wide variety of new classes, weapons, and vehicles, but one of the most dominant that we’ve seen so far is the AT-RT. The All-Terrain Recon Transport might not be as menacing or iconic as something like the AT-AT, but at least in the beta, it’s a versatile, powerful vehicle that you’ll want to take for a ride.

In the video above, you can see us putting the AT-RT through its paces and pulling off a lengthy killstreak. Whether it’s a tank, Darth Maul, or every enemy in Naboo’s throne room standing in its path, we found it to be a devastating vehicle–to the point where it might be in line for a balance adjustment in the full game.

Your opportunity to try out the AT-RT–and the rest of the game–ahead of release was scheduled to already come to a close. However, EA has now extended the Battlefront II beta, providing two more days with the upcoming sequel.

Battlefront II launches in full on November 17 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Aside from the single-player campaign, one other key feature you can look forward to is Darth Vader as a playable character.

A new box set of rare Pokemon cards is on its way. Called the Premium Trainer’s XY Collection, it’s the largest player set in TCG history and includes 14 tournament-ready, full-art holographic cards.

The set is based on popular cards from the XY series of the TCG, some with new art. Among the full-art foil cards are N and Shaymin-EX, both popular cards at tournaments. The collection also includes full-art Yveltal-EX, M Camerupt-EX, and M Sharpedo-EX. See close-ups of some of the cards below.

Also in the collection are two sets of dice, an XY-themed deck box and card sleeves, and two XY booster packs. To top it off, there’s an adorable metal Pikachu coin.

The Premium Trainer’s XY Collection will be available on October 20 at independent stores holding Sun and Moon: Crimson Invasion pre-release tournaments. It will be available in the Pokemon Center starting November 17.

For competitive TCG players, the set is a good opportunity to secure some rare, tournament-level cards. In other TCG news, shiny Pokemon will be returning after 10 years.

The much-anticipated second season of Stranger Things hits Netflix on October 27, and a new teaser has been released. As well as offering creepy music and visuals, it seems to reveal some of the episodes–or chapter–titles in the new season.

The chapter titles are “Mad Max,” “Trick or Treat Freak,” “The Pollywog,” “Will the Wise,” “Dig Dug,” and “The Spy.” However, as the teaser reveals, the titles of chapters 8, 9, and 10 are remaining a secret for now. Check it out below:

The second season is officially going under the title Stranger Things 2. Last month, creators Matt and Ross Duffer explained that there was initially some resistance from Netflix about this. “When we started describing it as a sequel, Netflix was like, ‘Don’t do that, because sequels are known to be bad,'” said Matt. “I was like, ‘Yes, but what about T2 and Aliens and Toy Story 2 and Godfather II?'”

The Duffers also stated that the show’s new creature would be named the “shadow monster.” Ross said: “It’s all connected to this singular threat, which is tied into this shape that Will sees in the sky. Each episode is building on the last one. It gets much crazier than it ever got in Season 1.”

Last month, it was confirmed that Stranger Things will return for Season 3. Initially the Duffers stated that Season 4 would be the final one; however, last week director Shawn Levy suggested that there could be a fifth season. “Hearts were heard breaking in Netflix headquarters when the brothers made four seasons sound like an official end, and I was suddenly getting phone calls from our actors’ agents,” he told Slashfilm. “The truth is we’re definitely going four seasons and there’s very much the possibility of a fifth. Beyond that, it becomes I think very unlikely.”
