Batman and Fortnite are teaming up again, but they’re moving out of the video game and onto the pages of DC Comics. On April 20, the first issue of the six-part miniseries Batman/Fortnite: Zeropoint arrives from the comic book publisher.

Fortnite players will have a big reason to pick up this comic: in-game bonuses, starting with the Rebirth Harley Quinn Outfit–which you can see below. If you buy all six issues of the comic and input the codes, you’ll unlock the Armored Batman Zero Outfit for your Fortnite character.

DC Universe Infinite subscribers will receive all the issues for the mini-series for free–and that also includes the Fortnite codes. Each issue of the comic will sell for $5, with a card stock variant going for $6.

Thus far, it’s hard to view Google Stadia as a success. The streaming service has failed to attract a large audience, and Google recently stopped first-party game development a little over a year after the service officially launched, leaving multiplatform games to fill out its library and putting its lifespan in question. This is despite spending a substantial amount of cash out of the gate to scoop up big-name games.

According to a new report from Bloomberg, Stadia boss Phil Harrison–who previously held executive positions at both Sony and Microsoft–wanted to make a big splash by paying “tens of millions of dollars” for games such as Red Dead Redemption 2 on the platform. It was a very bullish decision that, paired with exclusive games from its internal studios, would have given Google a path toward success with Stadia.

Harrison was part of the PlayStation at Xbox teams at arguably their lowest moments. While working as an executive for SCE Worldwide Studios, the PS3 launched and struggled with a high price point and lackluster exclusives early on. As Corporate VP at Microsoft, he was a leader for the Xbox brand in Europe when the Xbox One launched with a similar thud.

Rumors were swirling that The Pokemon Company would unveil remakes of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl as part of its Pokemon 25th anniversary celebration–and sure enough, we got our first look at Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl during the February 2021 Pokemon Presents stream. That the remakes are indeed coming is not in itself surprising; The Pokemon Company has been steadily remaking older entries in the series, and Diamond and Pearl were the next in line to be modernized. What was surprising, however, is the approach being taken with the Diamond and Pearl remakes.

The Pokemon Company stressed that Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are “faithful” remakes, and they certainly look as much. The games deliberately invoke the aesthetic of the original DS titles. Not only do they retain the classic top-down perspective, but characters and other overworld elements also have the same squat proportions as they do in the originals, which makes Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl look more like touched-up versions of the DS games rather than full-fledged updates.

This is in stark contrast to the approach Pokemon developer Game Freak has taken to previous remakes. Each time the studio has remade an older pair of Pokemon games, it has updated them to modern standards. Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen modernized the original Gen 1 games in the style of Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire; HeartGold and SoulSilver updated the Gen 2 games in the vein of Diamond and Pearl; and Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire made over the Gen 3 games to match Pokemon X and Y.

Persona 5 Strikers isn’t your typical musou action game. There are familiar elements like tearing down mobs of enemies in wild “one-versus-100” style combat. But this game takes many of the gameplay mechanics from the Atlus RPG and fuses them with Omega Force’s high-octane action template. Strikers also sticks to its Persona roots by bringing some light life-sim mechanics, but with some tweaks that might take some getting used to. For various reasons, it can be a lot to take in whether this is your first musou game or first Persona experience.

Here, I’ve compiled a list of tips to help guide you through Persona 5 Strikers. While there are plenty of tutorials that establish the basics of the game, figuring out how to best approach the game’s many facets is another challenge. Much of this guide involves the intricacies of being effective in combat, but there are other features you’ll want to use properly like the Bond system and persona fusion.

For more on this action-based adaptation of the iconic RPG, be sure to read my Persona 5 Strikers review, and read about how you can approach the game if you haven’t played Persona 5 before.
