PES 2020 Adds Iconic Moment Series With Update 1.09; Full Patch Notes Included

eFootball PES 2020 is celebrating the football sim’s 25th anniversary with a new update and the introduction of the Iconic Moment Series to fantasy team-building mode, MyClub. In addition to numerous bug fixes in update 1.09, Data Pack 5.0 includes over 30 new and updated player faces, plus a special kit for a German team celebrating its 120th anniversary.

The Iconic Moment Series is an ongoing showcase of memorable matches produced by the sport’s biggest stars, both past and present. Each Iconic Moment player commemorates a specific game from their illustrious career, with every player card featuring an image from that match and attributes to mirror their skillset during that period. Matching an Iconic Moment player with their affiliated team will also give them a stat boost.

If you hop onto PES 2020 now, you’ll receive a free Iconic Moment Series Legend version of Diego Maradona, commemorating his performance in the 1983 Spanish Cup Final for Barcelona. After this, the rest of the players will need to be unlocked by completing in-game campaigns or by spending MyClub coins to hopefully earn one in a box draw.

Trailer For Netflix’s The Platform Arrives, And Who Knew Leftover Food Could Be So Horrifying?

Netflix has a new movie coming out on March 20 that is truly bizarre. And yet, it looks so awesome. The first trailer for the film The Platform has arrived, and it’s all about eating what others don’t finish.

No, this isn’t a cooking show where people are re-purposing leftovers. The Platform takes place inside of a vertical prison. Each cell has a hole in the middle of it where food lowers for the prisoners to eat. However, those prisoners are eating the leftovers of the other inmates above them. Check out the first trailer for the movie below.

This is director Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia’s first feature-length film, and The Platform is written by the team of David Desola and Pedro Rivero. It stars Ivan Massagué, Zorion Eguileor, and Antonia San Juan. This is one of the many March Netflix originals headed to the streaming service.

Game Of Thrones Showrunners Set To Cameo In Westworld Season 3

The showrunners of HBO’s Game of Thrones, David Benioff and Dan Weiss, are set to appear in Season 3 of Westworld. The duo will show up in episode 2 and play the roles of technicians at the very powerful and very shady Delos company that operates the Westworld theme park. (Think what Disney is to Disneyland.)

Westworld will release its third season on March 15 and will likely pick up at the end of Season 2 where a lot of the hosts have either died or gone to the “Valley Beyond.” Five hosts were also smuggled out into the real world by Dolores in a Host version of Charlotte Hale, but it’s unknown who they are.

If you need a total refresher of what exactly happened in the last season ahead of the upcoming Season 3 release, check out GameSpot’s complete Westworld Season 2 recap for what happened to which characters, and their possible futures in Season 3.

Mortal Kombat 11 Is Free To Play On PS4 And Xbox One This Weekend

Mortal Kombat 11 was a fantastic conclusion to the modern trilogy’s story, but it’s also an incredible fighting game with a robust online community, and this weekend, you’ll be able to join them free of charge. Mortal Kombat 11 is free to play on PS4 and Xbox One from now until Monday, March 9. The best and most surprising part is that the free trial includes the latest DLC character, The Joker–normally, games don’t offer extra content during free periods.

If you’re interested in keeping Mortal Kombat 11 and playing past the weekend, then you’re in luck. Publisher Warner Bros. Interactive has discounted all versions of the game and the Kombat Pack, which comes with every DLC character announced so far–this includes Terminator T-800, The Joker, and the upcoming Spawn. You can grab the base game on either platform for $42, the Kombat Pack for $28, or the Premium Edition for $63. If you’re subscribed to PlayStation Plus, Xbox Live Gold, or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, then you’ll receive an even greater discount. Thankfully, the Steam version is discounted as well.

On top of that, Plus, Gold, or Game Pass Ultimate will give you access to Mortal Kombat 11’s online multiplayer portion. Being a fighting game, a large amount of the appeal is playing online against other players, but Mortal Kombat 11 puts a large focus on staying connected to the internet due to its loot system. Thankfully, without a subscription, you can still get loot as well as access the Krypt, AI battles, and most of the Towers of Time–there are specific co-operative towers you won’t be able to participate in.

Beauty And The Beast’s Gaston And LeFou Getting Disney Plus Series

Looks like Disney+ is about to tell another tale as old as time: Gaston and LeFou and how they met.

THR is reporting that Luke Evans and Josh Gad are returning to the French countryside once again in a limited prequel series to Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast film from 2017. Helmed by Once Upon A Time creators Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, with Gad also serving as co-creator, writer, and showrunner, the yet-to-be-named series will seemingly follow the early adventures of Gaston and LeFou. There’s no word yet on any other stars from the movie on making appearances.

No Caption Provided

Sources say the Beauty and the Beast prequel stemmed from Kitsis and Horowitz’s time working with Gad on the now-scrapped Muppets Live Another Day comedy series that was in the works, also for Disney+.
