A newly released trailer for Animal Crossing: New Horizons shows off a number of events and other new features coming to the game over the next few months. This includes two new special visitors, Leif and Jolly (formerly Crazy) Redd, who were confirmed, but there’s actually a third returning character teased in the trailer: Rover, a friendly cat whose role in previous games was to help you name your character and town.

Rover can be seen briefly toward the end of the trailer during the May Day section. The May Day event, which is scheduled for May 1 through 7, has you visiting a special island separate from the regular Mystery Tour deserted islands you can visit with Nook Miles. Nintendo teases, “A special visitor who looks familiar might also be there…”, and judging by the back of him, that visitor appears to be Rover. You can see a screenshot below.

In past Animal Crossing games, you would encounter Rover on the train at the very beginning of the game. There, he would ask you questions to determine your character’s name and gender, the time and date, and your town name. In New Horizons, that role is partially taken over by Timmy and Tommy, and you name your island after you’ve arrived.

New Horizons’ Nature Day starts soon, but it’s just one of several new events and updates headed to Animal Crossing. Here’s what you need to know.

Ubisoft has released the latest patch for Rainbow Six Siege. Previously only on the PC test server, Patch Y5S1.2 is now live on official PC servers and scheduled to come to Xbox One and PS4 sometime this week.

The patch is primarily geared towards balancing certain Operators and weapons, namely Ying. A previous update replaced Ying’s frag grenades with a claymore, but now Ubisoft is replacing her claymore with smoke grenades in hopes it will “increase the level of synergy she deploys when spearheading,” specifically when it comes to the attackers trying to counter Mira or Goyo. She’s also getting more Candelas and the damage rate of her T-95 LSW is getting a nice buff.

Patch Y5S1.2 also implements several bug fixes, with the most notable one addressing the barricade replication glitch. In the patch notes, Ubisoft also says that the quick match map pool won’t change for the rest of the season, only rotating to new maps in Year 5, Season 2. The full patch notes are listed below.

Developer GungHo Online Entertainment has announced that you can pre-load Ninjala from the Nintendo Switch eshop before its open beta goes live later this week.

Ninjala’s open beta is scheduled during a 17-hour period from April 28-29, with three different time slots spanning those two days. The first one takes place from 12-12:59 PM PT / 3-3:59 PM ET / 7-7:59 PM GMT.

Players can check out the eight-player battle royale and training modes, as well as experiment with the game’s four available weapons: Ippon Katana, Drill Beat, SK8 Hammer, and Trick Ball. Check below for a breakdown of Ninjala’s open beta schedule.

Riot Games’ Valorant has become the hottest shooter of the moment even in its closed beta, but some fans have voiced complaints about the balance of certain characters, particularly the explosive Raze. A new update dubbed 0.47+ takes aim at some of Raze’s more powerful abilities, reducing her number of Paint Shell grenades from 2 to 1, and forcing her to get two kills before she can use the ability again. The patch also adjusts the sound effects on all of Raze’s powers to make them easier to hear in a chaotic match.

The patch affects several of Sage’s abilities too, though mostly indirectly. Melee attacks against Sage’s barrier will now deal double damage, and players will no longer be able to bunny-hop their way through her Slow Orb. However, if you walk through her Slow Orb, you no longer make noise, which makes it less useful as an enemy-finding tool. The update also fixes a well-documented bug that allows Cypher’s spycam to fire weapons.

If you still haven’t had a chance to play Valorant, you can get a beta key by watching participating Twitch streams, among other things. If you’re the kind of player who delights in finding ways to break the game, Riot is offering bounties up to $100,000 for players who can find and identify exploits in the game.

If you’re browsing the Switch Eshop this week, you’ll likely see a bunch of AAA games from Capcom and Bandai Namco on sale for low prices. While there are some truly great deals in both of those publisher sales, I’m here to let you know about the best deal on the Eshop right now: Celeste for $5. If you haven’t played the brilliant 2018 platformer from developer Matt Makes Games, you shouldn’t pass up this deal.

The lowest price we’ve seen Celeste for on Switch up until now was $10–so yes, this is an excellent deal at $5. This price is only good through April 26, so make sure you snag it before it goes back up to $20 next week.

Celeste was my favorite game of 2018. You play as Madeline, a young woman grappling with mental illness, who decides to scale the titular mountain. Madeline’s journey is moving–it’s certainly one of the more poignant games that deals with mental illness. Each level asks you to run, jump, and climb to avoid increasingly precarious obstacles. Throughout the nine chapters, clever new mechanics are introduced to spice up the platforming. Gorgeous pixel art and catchy tunes round out the stellar package.

DC’s The Flash has finally caught a break. The upcoming solo superhero movie has had plenty of issues, mainly replacing numerous directors dating back to 2016. Now, the theatrical release of the film is releasing a month earlier. Meanwhile, the majority of Hollywood movies are seeing long delays, including all of Marvel’s upcoming films.

According to a report from Deadline, The Flash was originally going to arrive to theaters on July 1, 2022. However, it’s been slated now to debut on June 3, 2022. The move happened when it was revealed Warner Bros. was moving The Batman from June 25 to October 21 of 2021 and Shazam 2 from April 1 to November 4 of 2022.

The Flash has been in production since 2015, prior to Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice’s release. In 2016, director Seth Grahame-Smith left the project citing “creative differences.” Rick Famuyiwa signed on the helm the film, and then left one month after Grahame-Smith’s exit. Afterward, it was reported the entire script had been rewritten. During that time, Spider-Man: Homecoming writers John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein reportedly had been tapped to direct, but that never came to fruition. Then Andy Muschietti signed on mid-2019 to direct, and at this time, he is still on board.

As part of the ongoing Season of the Worthy, Bungie has kicked off Destiny 2‘s first-ever Guardian Games–an event seemingly inspired by a mixture of the real-life Olympics and Destiny’s Faction Rallies. In it, players of each class will compete with each other to decide (for now) who is best among Titans, Hunters, and Warlocks. Along the way, you can earn a variety of rewards, the most tantalizing of which is a new Exotic machine gun called Heir Apparent. Here’s how to get it and what you need to know about the event.

How To Get Heir Apparent

Eva Levante at the Tower serves as the primary vendor and hub for Guardian Games, and you’ll immediately see Heir Apparent in her list of available gear for “sale.” However, you can’t buy the Exotic outright; you’ll first need to complete the Class Act triumph. This calls for you to complete any seven Guardian Games 2020 triumphs, of which there are 12 total (including Class Act and Star Athlete, the latter of which asks you to complete all 11 others).

The other triumphs largely consist of taking part in the event, as we’ll explore below. You’ll need to redeem medals, kill enemies with abilities in Vanguard Strikes or Nightfalls, earn points by completing Guardian Games bounties, redeem gold medals, and so on. The triumphs are spread across generic goals that can be completed in any activity, and those that require specific types of Strikes or participation in either Gambit or Crucible. As a result, you’ll need to take part in an array of activities–you won’t be able to grind out everything in one activity type.

The 1996 noir-comedy Fargo calls itself a true story, but, as you probably know, that’s a lie. But what if we told you that a woman from Japan believed it to be real, and traveled across the world on the hunt for a fictional treasure buried in the snow?
