A new Max Raid event has begun in Pokemon Sword and Shield. This one only runs for this weekend, until Sunday, July 19, and it features a variety of different Water-type Pokemon, including Shiny Wailord.

Throughout the event, Kingler, Sharpedo, Pyukumuku, Jellicent, and Mantine will appear in Max Raids much more frequently than normal. Wailord will also be a common sight, and you’ll have a chance to encounter a Shiny variant of it in five-star Raids. You’ll need to be pretty persistent to find one, however, as it has lower odds of spawning than the other featured Pokemon.

The Sea Pokemon Max Raid event ends at 4:59 PM PT / 7:59 PM ET / 11:59 PM UTC on July 19. Before the Pokemon can start appearing in your game, you’ll need to refresh your Raid dens. You can do so either by connecting the Y-Comm online or going into Mystery Gift from the menu screen and selecting Get the Wild Area News.

The Last of Us Part 2 was June 2020’s best selling game and has now become the 3rd best-selling game of the year, the 8th best-selling game of the twelve month period ending in June, and has the highest launch month dollar sales of any 2020 release to date.

As revealed by The NPD Group’s Mat Piscatella, The Last of Us Part 2’s first month sales have surpassed other games as Final Fantasy VII Remake, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Doom Eternal to claim the top spot.

Exploring Tsushima Island in Ghost of Tsushima turns up a lot of rewards. Some locations grant you special missions that earn you some of the best abilities and armor in the game; others, like hot springs, boost your health, while Bamboo Strikes increase your resolve. The 16 Shinto Shrines scattered across the island give you some key crafting materials for improving your bows, while providing Major Charms, which you can equip to earn special perks.

Each of the Shinto Shrines is an environmental puzzle you’ll need to solve. You can locate each shrine by finding Torii gates that will lead you toward the shrines–but all of the paths have been destroyed or damaged, requiring you to find a way to circumvent them by climbing. Here’s where to find each of the Shinto Shrines in Tsushima and which rewards they’ll give you, so you can prioritize your hunt.

We’ve got a whole lot more coverage to help you fight off the Mongols. Check out our Ghost of Tsushima guide roundup for our full walkthrough, collectibles guides, hot springs locations, side missions rundown, combat tips, and more.

Indivisible is getting a television adaptation. A report on Deadline states that the game, an action-RPG available on Switch, PS4, PC, and Xbox One, is in the works, and is likely to land on NBC’s new streaming service Peacock.

The series is being adapted by Meg LeFauve and Jonathan Fernandez. LeFauve has been Oscar-nominated for her work on the screenplay for Pixar’s Inside Out, and is also a credited writer on the Captain Marvel movie. The series will be produced by DJ2 Entertainment, which also worked on the Sonic the Hedgehog movie. Fernandez, meanwhile, worked on Star Trek Enterprise.

Few other details about the show have been revealed–although the report does not mention it, considering the game’s cartoon aesthetic, it’s hard to imagine the show not being an animated production.

Work is just beginning on this project, so we would not expect to see it for some time.

Indivisible received a 7/10 in GameSpot’s review. Critic Michael Higham wrote that the game “stands out as an RPG that’s doing something genuinely different, and it brings joy to its clever platforming with the tune of an infectious soundtrack.”

Among other things, World of Warcraft‘s upcoming Shadowlands expansion introduces a new feature called Covenants. Players can choose to align themselves with one of four Covenants, which are “mysterious sects” that are each after their own path inside the Shadowlands.

In a new interview with GameSpot, WoW game director Ion Hazzikostas shared more insight on the Covenant system and how he believes it provides players with the biggest choice they’ve had to make since creating their character at the start of the game. Hazzikostas mentioned that the Covenant system borrows elements from WoW’s previous expansions to create something new and special.

“The Covenant system draws upon lessons learned and features from a number of different expansions. There’s an element of the Garrisons from Warlords of Draenor expansion, these bases you can build up and customize; there are elements of artifact weapons from Legion and the customziation and the talent trees that each of the weapons had as you could power them up and wield,” Hazzikostas said. “There are elements of Battle for Azeroth war campaign that was Alliance or Horde each having a separate max-level story.”
