Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, more people are staying home and playing video games. As such, spending on gaming has grown, and Electronic Arts is among the companies that is benefitting. In a new “fireside chat,” EA CFO Blake Jorgensen said the company is expected to announce its biggest-ever Q1, which runs April-June.

EA said in May that it expects to make $5.525 billion in revenue and a profit of $978 million for the period, which is a record for Q1, but Jorgensen said that the real numbers will be even bigger than that.

The full numbers will be announced during EA’s earnings report on July 30, but Jorgensen said today, “What I will tell you is it has been much stronger than we anticipated.”

On June 25, Borderlands 3 will get its third campaign expansion, Bounty of Blood. In a GameSpot Play For All interview (which is embedded below), Gearbox creative director Matt Cox talked about four new additions that the DLC will implement into Borderlands 3’s combat loop.

“We wanted to take four gameplay objects and throw them into the combat mix,” Cox said. “So while we still have that core loop going on, we have different avenues of different styles of combat and ways to negotiate all the craziness in Borderlands.”

Each of these four new gameplay objects are designed to encourage the player to tackle combat a little bit differently in Bounty of Blood. “So there’s something called a traitor weed where if you shoot it, it releases these bugs that turn enemies to your side for eight to nine seconds,” Cox said. “And a core-sploder, if you melee it, it will shotgun out high-damage shrapnel. There’s also a breezer, which acts sort of like a jump-pad but it soars you into the air by a puff of air. And then there’s a telezapper, which is essentially a teleporter–it lets the player travel from point A to point B instantaneously.”

Space Invaders: Invincible Collection is coming to Switch, and it’ll bundle together 11 Space Invaders games from between 1978 and 2018. The bundle, which is exclusive to Nintendo’s console, has been confirmed for a limited physical release from Strictly Limited Games, and preorders will open on Sunday, June 28.

The game is something of a collector’s item in Japan, where it released in March in numerous different versions. Over there, four games were locked to the more expensive and limited Special Edition; that is not the case for the western release.

This is the most complete collection of Space Invaders games ever released, and it will include the following 11 games, ported by Gotch Technology:

With Star Wars, EA has one of the most sought-after licenses in all of entertainment–and the company plans to take full advantage of it. In a “fireside chat,” EA executives spoke about how the company plans to “double down” on Star Wars after the huge success of Star Wars: Battlefront 1 and 2, Galaxy of Heroes, and Jedi Fallen Order more recently.

“Up is my hope–up and to the right,” EA CEO Andrew Wilson said about where he hopes the company will take Star Wars in the future. “We have a tremendous relationship with Disney. We have a tremendous relationship with Lucas. We have a longstanding relationship with them going all the way back to Star Wars The Old Republic that we launched in 2011.”

Wilson called out Star Wars: Battlefront 1 and 2 as top-performers from EA’s partnership with Disney on Star Wars. Those games have combined to sell around 35 million copies, he said. Wilson added that the mobile game Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes has enjoyed “extraordinary” success, and it continues to perform well. Additionally, Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order sold 10 million copies to stand out as another big success.

The third campaign expansion for Borderlands 3, Bounty of Blood, is scheduled to release on June 25. In a GameSpot Play For All interview, Gearbox creative director Matt Cox revealed that this new DLC would break the pattern of seeing the return of a Borderlands character. You can watch the full interview in the video embedded below.

“We do have some freedom to try some new things with certain story moments,” Cox said. “And we’re keeping a lot of the story close to the chest because we built something that we think is pretty special–some surprises here and there. And I just want to say this: When I say surprises, I know a lot of people think, ‘Ah, returning characters are coming back, who is it?’ But I just want to be very clear that the only returning characters are the Vault Hunters themselves. The planet of Gehenna and all the characters we meet are all brand-new.”

Both of Borderlands 3’s first two campaign DLCs saw the return of fan-favorite Borderlands characters. In Mad Moxxi’s Heist of the Handsome Jack, you teamed up with Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel‘s Timothy and the Lovecraft-themed Love, Guns, and Tentacles reintroduced Borderlands 2‘s Gaige. Based on the teaser image for the fourth and final DLC expansion, it’s assumed DLC 4 will see us reunite with Borderlands 2’s Krieg, which would mean that Bounty of Blood will be the only campaign expansion not focused around a returning character.

Marvel’s Avengers has been confirmed for PS5 and Xbox Series X with a free upgrade program, meaning that Iron Man and the gang will be making the jump to next-gen. Some further details about the PlayStation 5 version have come to light, and we now have a better idea of what benefits will be offered by this upgrade.

On the PlayStation Blog, and in a press release we received, various upgrades have been discussed. Next-gen versions will get faster load times, higher resolution, and superior textures, and Crystal Dynamics has also promised that the PS5 version will make use of the DualSense controller’s haptic feedback and the system’s spatial audio.

PS5 users will also be able to choose between two different modes: Enhanced Graphics Mode and High Framerate Mode. This means you can either play the game in 60FPS with a dynamic 4k resolution, or boost the graphics for “the highest image quality possible.” The system’s SSD will also allow for much faster texture load-in.

Fans of the Transformers franchise–primarily the G1 versions of the characters–have something big to look forward to in July on Netflix. Transformers War for Cybertron: Siege will arrive to the streaming service on July 30.

Revealed in a new video, which you can see below, Autobots will battle Decepticons on the Netflix original series in all its 3D animated glory.

Set on the transforming robotic planet of Cybertron, this story will kick off with Siege, which is part one of a three-part story. It will follow the civil war on the planet between the Autobots and Decepticons, as the leaders of these two groups–Optimus Prime and Megatron, respectively–don’t see eye-to-eye, and Megatron wants to use the Allspark to end this war. However, that will come at a cost.
