Scarlet Nexus – the anime-infused next-gen action RPG – has got a new trailer and showed off gameplay at IGN Expo, primarily showing off the game’s psychokinetic combat.

Revealed at today’s IGN Expo, the trailer shows the game’s mixture of swordplay and psychic ablities against a variety of groteque enemies from the game’s ‘brainpunk’ setting. Those telekinetic abilities can get pretty wild – we see telephone poles used like floating clubs, and even a full train being thrown down the tracks at a target.

In an interview with IGN, game director Kenji Anabuki and producer Keita Iizuka confirmed that there wouldn’t be fundamental gameplay differences between current-gen and next-gen versions of the game, but talked up the level of detail next-gen has allowed them to add, alongside seamless loading times to allow for a more immersive experience.

Fortnite: Battle Royale’s special in-game event, The Device, has finally happened. Midas activated his special weapon causing a storm that destroyed The Agency and submerged most of the map under a giant wall of water. That’s all we know until Season 3 kicks off on June 17.

Those moments in Fortnite’s latest live event were great, but they aren’t as important as what happened in between them. As the map was getting decimated by the huge wall of water, players were given quick glimpses of an office somewhere else in the game. These short bits gave us more info about the world of Fortnite than any previous event.

Players got to walk around the office, which appears to belong to Fortnite’s trademark blonde guy Jonesy, with the camera in first person (if you looked down you could see whichever skin you have equipped). The walls were decorated with pictures of Jonesy and what appear to be other characters from Fortnite: Save the World’s cast, although it’s not exactly clear who they are. Files labeled “top secret” with images of Midas and other characters were laying on the desk.

Fortnite is back at it again, showcasing a brand new live event as the grand finale to Chapter 2 Season 2. Here’s the entire event as it played out, captured on PC.

The 93rd Academy Awards will be held in 2021, but they won’t occupy their traditional February spot on the calendar. Instead, Variety reports, the Oscars have been officially pushed back from February 28 to April 25, due to concerns over the ongoing COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.

The rescheduling has also affected the submission deadlines for various categories. Feature films will qualify if submitted between January 1, 2020 and February 28, 2021. Special categories, such as animated features, will need to be submitted by December 1, 2020. Nominations will be officially announced on March 15, 2021.

Niantic is investigating an issue that appears to be resulting in improper bans in Pokemon Go. Players have been complaining of receiving bans, and the community has been trying to piece together common traits for those being impacted by the problem.

Eurogamer reports that the popular Pokemon Go subreddit TheSilphRoad has been populated with several threads documenting the bans. Users have been reaching out to sites about the problem, including GameSpot. Niantic has now issued a statement regarding the bans, saying it is looking into the issue.

Players believe the problem is impacting those using iOS 12, with some reportedly claiming they’ve been experiencing bans for months. Most players are hit with a seven-day “soft” ban, which is given as a warning to players using modified software. This doesn’t disable play altogether, but it does impact the level of rarity you can catch. If you rack up enough of these offenses, it could result in a longer ban or a deactivation of your account altogether.

When an event is billed as the “Greatest Wrestling Match Ever” before the match even happens, something is amiss. For weeks now, WWE has been hyping that the blood feud between Randy Orton and recently unretired Hall of Famer Edge would culminate in the “Greatest Wrestling Match Ever” at their Backlash pay-per-view.

Backlash came and went, but Orton and Edge were disserved by their own company. Their match was everything fans could want, and actually a highlight of both men’s careers. With that type of moniker attached, though, not only does it do a disservice to so many more matches that might be more deserving of that title, but two the two men involved in this bout, as well.

WWE brought in legends and icons like Shawn Michaels, Kurt Angle, and Ric Flair to try to explain why this match could live up the marketing and hype surrounding it. The problem is they couldn’t, which is unfortunate for talents like Edge, who is already a Hall of Famer, and Orton, who is a retirement speech away from his own induction. WWE booked them into a corner over–what, exactly? It has been reported that Vince McMahon feels as though the roster is lacking star power so instead of this match taking place at SummerSlam, it was pushed forward to Backlash and marketed in this manner to get people’s eyes on the product.

If you drop into a normal game of Fortnite: Battle Royale right now you’ll find The Agency, the center piece for the games’ second season, in pieces. It was blown up during today’s special event, The Device, but many players didn’t get to see it happen.

Servers for The Device filled up soon after opening at 10:30 AM PT / 1:30 PM ET, meaning players who couldn’t get in had to watch on Twitch or YouTube. Epic Games had warned players to come 30 minutes early, but even those that tried weren’t guaranteed a spot.

Players who missed the event are sounding off on Twitter, upset because of the limited capacity. Previous events like the Travis Scott concert was less restrictive, mainly because it had multiple showtimes spread across a weekend. The Device event was also delayed multiple times, most recently due to the Black Lives Matter protests that erupted across the country. Many were surprised that they wouldn’t be able to attend at all after the additional delay.

Just like first-party games, Nintendo Switch accessories tend to stay around full price outside of major sales like Black Friday, but right now, Pokemon fans can snag one handy accessory for a fraction of the price. Nintendo’s Poke Ball Plus normally sells for $50, but this week at Best Buy, you can buy it for just $20. This is the same price the Poke Ball Plus was during Black Friday, and it didn’t stay in stock for long, so if you’ve been waiting for the price to drop, now’s the time to grab it.

The Poke Ball Plus accessory is small and fits easily into the palm of your hand, with a wrist strap to secure it. It’s compatible with Pokemon Go, allowing you to play without checking your phone. When a Pokemon is nearby, the Poke Ball Plus will light up and vibrate. You can press a button to throw a virtual Poke Ball, and different LED light patterns will let you know if you’ve caught the Pokemon. The Poke Ball Plus also counts your steps so you can hatch eggs and gather candy for your Pokemon.
