The team finally agreed to stop using a “dictionary-defined slur” as its mascot.
Comic-Con At Home Star Wars X-Wing Toy Isn’t Dirty, It’s Meant To Look Like That
The rebranded SDCC event, now called Comic-Con@Home, is just weeks away. And while 2020’s version of the convention will be very different, with panels streaming on YouTube, at least no one has to wait overnight in line for Hall H, and that’s a good thing.
There may not be a convention hall to walk around with thousands of other people, but there will still be exclusive merch you can pick up. We’ve already seen Mattel’s previous offerings: the WWE Elite Collection Mr. T and the Jurassic Park Dennisy Nedry figure which lives in a shaving cream can. Now, Mattel has revealed a new ship from the Hot Wheels Star Wars collection.
The Hot Wheels Star Wars X-Wing Dagobah Starship comes in a cool display which showcases the swamps on the planet and all the inexplicable fog. The box is more than a display. It’s also functional, as a switch on the side lets you raise the X-Wing from the swamp. It’s almost like you have Jedi powers of your own.

Nier Reincarnation Trailer Shows Off The Mobile Spin-Off’s Combat
Nier Reincarnation, the upcoming mobile spin-off that will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the original Nier, has shown off combat in a new video. It looks very different from the action style of Nier: Automata.
The trailer is below, but we’ve also grabbed a screenshot from it showing combat to analyse further.
The combat looks like it could be turn-based, with large touch icons being assigned to each character. Based on the screenshot below, it looks like characters on your team of three will have two abilities assigned to them. The footage shows one member of the player team landing blows with ease, so don’t expect any traditional action combat with dodging and blocking.
It also looks like combat will be wave-based, which is an interesting twist. In the screenshot above, it also seems that two characters are heavy hitters, while the other is primarily a healer.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Soundtrack Features Original Song By Einar Selvik Of Norse Music Fame
As part of the Ubisoft Forward event, the publisher confirmed more details about Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, including its music. There will be a seven-song EP pulled from the game’s soundtrack that will be released on Spotify and for purchase on iTunes later this year.
The EP will feature original music from composers Jesper Kyd and Sarah Schachner, along with an original song by Einar Selvik. Selvik is the former drummer of the metal band Gorgoroth and current singer of the Nordic band Wardruna. Selvik worked with the History Channel on the show Vikings.
Wardruna’s music and stylings seem to be a perfect match for Valhalla, as you can tell from the band’s latest music video below.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Expands Odyssey’s Romance Mechanics
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will continue the trend of letting you pursue multiple romances throughout your adventure, but this time your options for lasting relationships have been expanded.
In advance of Ubisoft Forward, GameSpot recently sat down with Valhalla narrative director Darby McDevitt, who explained how the Viking-themed sequel will still let you explore as many relationships as you wish. This time, however, you’re able to engage with your partner in long-term relationships while also fostering multiple smaller ones on the side if you wish.
“There are definitely a couple of one-night-stands you can get involved in and they’re fun in their own ways but there’s also going to be some longer-term relationships,” McDevitt explained. “A little of both. If you want to be monogamous and have a single, ongoing relationship with somebody, you can do that.”

Available on: PC
Our Death Stranding review is quite positive, and now PC gamers can experience Hideo Kojima’s latest outing for themselves. It’s the same story of deliveryman Sam Bridges trekking across a shattered United States, with a healthy dose of Kojima’s signature story beats and zany cutscenes. The PC version also includes a new photo mode and crossover content with the Half-Life series, plus support for higher framerates and ultrawide monitors.
