Fall Guys Dev Warns Of Scams For A Non-Existent Mobile Version
Things that are popular are often targets for scams, and this is also the case for the whimsical battle royale game Fall Guys. Developer Mediatonic recently called out a YouTube channel that claims to have details on a mobile version of the game, but it’s all a bunch of baloney.
The developer confirmed on Twitter, “If you see any ads for a mobile version, they are scams.” The video in question is not even a good fake, the developer said, because it’s just the PC version pretending to be a mobile version–the mouse cursor is even in the video.
“I don’t want to live on this planet anymore,” the Fall Guys Twitter account says. Mediatonic does have hopes to bring Fall Guys to other platforms beyond PS4 and PC someday, but no plans have been announced yet.
Bungie Shuts Down Destiny 2 Solstice Of Heroes Challenge Following Reward Bug
We’re a week into Destiny 2‘s summer event, the Solstice of Heroes, but things aren’t going as smoothly as Guardians and Bungie would probably like. A bug is afflicting the new event, messing up some of its rewards. As a result, Bungie has disabled a weekly challenge for the Solstice of Heroes, and we don’t know when it’ll be back online.
The offending challenge is the one that rewards you with Powerful gear for heading to the special location that’s part of Solstice, the European Aerial Zone. There, defeating bosses and unlocking Solstice Packages can earn you a weekly reward if you speak with Eva Levante in the tower. Bungie said on Twitter that those rewards aren’t going out correctly. Until it’s fixed, the challenge has been disabled–presumably to save you from wasting your time completing it, only to receive nothing.
The EAZ Weekly Challenges have been disabled due to an issue causing Powerful Gear rewards to not be granted upon completion. We will provide more information as it become available.
