Since Pokemon X and Y, each mainline installment in the series has allowed you to customize your trainer’s outfit, and it looks like that will be the case in Pokemon Sword and Shield as well. While the games’ reveal trailer hinted that trainer customization would return, the feature was confirmed when clothing retailer Uniqlo announced the winners of its Pokemon t-shirt design competition.

The winning design will not only be made into a real shirt, it’ll also appear in the upcoming Nintendo Switch games as a clothing option for your trainer (via Serebii). Uniqlo’s website shared a pair of screenshots showcasing the male and female trainers wearing the winning shirt rather than their default clothes, confirming you’ll be able to change their outfits. You can take a look at the screenshots below.

It remains to be seen how many different clothing options will be available in Pokemon Sword and Shield. Both Pokemon X/Y and Sun/Moon allowed you to purchase an assortment of different outfits and accessories for your trainer, from hats and glasses to bags and shoes, and that will presumably be the case in Sword and Shield as well. One thing we do know for sure, however, is your avatar will at least be able to don a soccer-like uniform; the male trainer could be seen wearing one as he entered a stadium near the end of the games’ reveal trailer.

Nintendo gave fans their first look at Sword and Shield during a special Pokemon Direct broadcast this past February. While the presentation was fairly brief, it did reveal some important details about the upcoming games. For one, the titles are set in a new region called Galar, which appears to be inspired by the UK. We also got to see the games’ new starter Pokemon: the Grass-type monkey Grookey, the Fire-type rabbit Scorbunny, and the Water-type lizard Sobble.

Pokemon Sword and Shield are slated to launch for Switch in “late” 2019. We’ll presumably learn more about the games during Nintendo’s E3 2019 presentation, which is set to take place on Tuesday, June 11, at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET / 5 PM BST. Until then, you can check out everything we know about Pokemon Sword and Shield so far.

Activision has shared more details on Call of Duty Mobile as the spinoff approaches the regional beta testing phase. The first closed beta is beginning this week in India, with regional tests starting soon in Australia and then following to other territories over the coming months.

A post on the Activision Blog details the upcoming game. A variety of control options let you customize the toggles like sensitivity, gyroscope aiming, field of vision, and sprinting. You can choose Simple Mode, which auto-fires your weapon, or Advanced Mode that uses manual firing along with some other options and HUD customizations. It even boasts 17 sliders for aiming sensitivity.

As a Call of Duty game, of course, you can select up to three Scorestreak equipment like the Recon Car, Air Supply Drop, Missile Strike, Drone, and Sentry Gun. From your Loadout menu you’ll pick a Primary and a Secondary weapon, each with its own optics and attachments, grenades, and perks. Your five loadout slots can be one of several characters from Call of Duty history, including Alex Mason, Soap MacTavish, and Ghost Riley.

So far the studio has announced five modes: Free-For-All, Frontline, Team Deathmatch, Hardpoint, and Domination. It will also bring back several well-known Call of Duty maps, including Crossfire, Standoff, Crash, Killhouse, and Firing Range.

You can pre-register through the official site which will also sign you up for a chance at the beta. Additional gameplay modes are still to be announced.

Like every episode in Season 8, the Game of Thrones finale was full of Easter eggs, as well as callbacks and references to the journey many of the characters have undertaken to get to where they are at the end. A big one in Episode 6, “The Iron Throne,” came during a conversation between Tyrion Lannister and Jon Snow that went all the way back to a critical moment in Season 1–one that had a great deal of meaning for Jon. Be warned: We’re talking spoilers for the Game of Thrones series finale here, so read on at your own risk.

After the sack of King’s Landing in Episode 5, “The Bells,” Daenerys has Tyrion arrested for freeing his brother Jaime, going against the queen’s orders and thereby betraying her. Jon meets with Tyrion in his impromptu cell, where Tyrion laments finding out he was wrong about Daenerys. He tries to convince Jon to do something about Dany since Jon is also a Targaryen and has a better claim to the Iron Throne. Jon, of course, struggles with the situation because of his love for Dany, and Tyrion talks about how he understands that Jon loves Dany.

“Love is the death of duty,” Jon responds. He’s remembering a pivotal moment from his past–a conversation he had with Maester Aemon, way back when Jon was new to the Night’s Watch in Season 1. During that discussion, Aemon revealed his true identity as Aemon Targaryen, a man who could have been king, but chose the life of a Maester and a man of the Night’s Watch instead.

At the time, Jon had been considering breaking his new Night’s Watch vows to ride south and join Robb Stark in his campaign to defeat the Lannisters and rescue Ned Stark. Aemon stopped him by telling him a story about how his own vows were tested during Robert’s Rebellion. He wanted to go south to help the other Targaryens, but ultimately, kept to his vows and did his duty. It’s that story that convinces Jon to stay on the Wall and keep his vows, as well.

Jon’s sense of duty has repeatedly been tested by love. He didn’t leave the Wall to aid Robb, which meant that Jon didn’t die at the Red Wedding, but one wonders how Jon’s presence could have helped save Robb’s life. When he went north of the Wall with Lord Commander Mormont, Jon joined the Wildlings he discovered there to find out what Mance Rayder was planning. He fell in love with Ygritte but was unable to betray the Night’s Watch for her, which ended in her death in Season 4 at the Battle of Castle Black. And finally, Jon chose duty over Daenerys, killing the queen before she could hurt anyone else after she destroyed King’s Landing.

In the end, Jon always chooses duty over love. Tyrion gets him on that point before the conversation is over.

“Sometimes, duty is the death of love,” Tyrion says. “You are the shield that guards the realms of men, and you’ve always tried to do the right thing, no matter the cost. You’ve always tried to protect people. Who is the greatest threat to the people now?”

Tyrion knows how important Jon’s sense of honor is to him, just like Maester Aemon did (although Aemon might have given Jon different advice if he’d known that Aemon was Jon’s great-great uncle, or that Jon was intending to kill Aemon’s niece). Jon struggles with whether he made the right call in killing Daenerys, but we’ve seen throughout the show that it was the only one he could have made.

Obviously, this post is going to contain MASSIVE spoilers for the Game of Thrones season finale. Now’s your chance to stop reading and escape unsullied.

After eight seasons, the final moments of Game of Thrones brought some big shakeups from what viewers have been expecting. The destruction of King’s Landing has seemingly led to a better world in the Season 8 finale, although not the one that some characters have been working toward for years. Westeros moves forward not through conquest, but through (a tiny bit of) democracy.

A whole lot of wrap-up got handled in Episode 6, “The Iron Throne,” the last of the show. First and foremost, we saw the end of Daenerys Targaryen. After she destroyed King’s Landing, she finally lost the support of some of her best allies (although not all of them). Jon begged Dany to show Tyrion mercy, and when she refused, he took action–murdering Daenerys to stop her from ruling the Seven Kingdoms (and beyond) with fear and dragon fire. After her death, Drogon showed up a few seconds later to melt down the Iron Throne (which was more symbolic than a moment that made sense, but whatever), then flew away with Daenerys’s body clutched in his claw. Our only clue as to where he went came a little later into the episode when it was mentioned that he’d last been seen flying east toward Essos, the continent that includes the cities Dany and her dragons freed from slavery, and Valeryia, the destroyed country from which dragons and Targaryens originally hail.

The Unsullied took Jon into custody, but without a leader to tell them what to do with him, they just kept him locked up for a while. Next, they convened a council of the lords and ladies of Westeros at the dragon pit in King’s Landing, to decide who should lead the Seven Kingdoms and what should be done with Jon and Tyrion. (It included a few familiar faces, including one who’s had quite a glow-up.) At Tyrion’s suggestion, the most powerful people in Westeros voted on their new monarch: Bran Stark.

In part, Daenerys’s influence really did help “break the wheel,” ending part of the system of inherited power in the country. Bran took the throne because he was the wisest among the powerful people of Westeros, thanks to his abilities as the Three-Eyed Raven, and his disability means he can’t father children of his own. That means that when Bran eventually dies, there will be no eldest son to inherit his title, and nobody will be forced to live under the thumb of a king just because he was lucky enough to be born a prince. Instead, the lords and ladies of Westeros will convene again and vote on a new king. It’s not a perfect system, of course–the great houses are still great because they have money and land, and they’re still keeping that power in their families forever–but at least there’s some semblance of representative democracy in Westeros that will probably make life a little better for regular people, at least for a while.

Bran used his new authority to immediately name Tyrion the Hand of the King, essentially pardoning him for betraying Daenerys. The idea is that Tyrion’s sentence for treason will be a lifetime of service, trying to make up for his past mistakes by being a good ruler.

Things work out a little less great for Jon. The Unsullied and Sansa Stark are willing to go to war over his fate–the Unsullied want justice for their queen, while Sansa wants to save her brother and the man once named King in the North. They compromise, with Jon exiled back to the Wall to rejoin the Night’s Watch. It’s not much of a real sentence since there’s not really a Night’s Watch anymore. “The world will always need a home for bastards and broken men,” Tyrion says of the organization. When Jon arrives at Castle Black, he finds Tormund and the rest of the Wildlings and decides to leave the Watch and go beyond the Wall with them. You could interpret this as Jon going on to become King Beyond the Wall, but it seems much more likely he’s just going to go live out his life in freedom with his buddy Ghost.

There’s no new King in the North, but there is a queen: Sansa Stark. During the council, Sansa refused to let the North be ruled by a southron king again, even if that king was her brother. Bran allowed the North to keep its independence, thus transforming the Seven Kingdoms into six. That makes Westeros technically two countries, rather than one united one (although one can’t help but wonder how Dorne feels about all this since it has remained pretty much independent as well). Who knows how that’ll change the political situation in Westeros in the future.

Bran formed a new small council with a few critical surviving folks. With Tyrion as his Hand, Ser Davos became his master of ships, and Bronn of the Blackwater–now lord of Highgarden, as per his agreement with Tyrion and Jaime Lannister back in Season 8, Episode 4–was named master of coin. And although he didn’t finish his Maester training at the Citadel, Samwell Tarly became Grand Maester. Ser Brienne is named Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, and her longtime faithful squire, Podrick Payne, is also knighted and joins the order.

The episode also tied up a few other loose ends. After things settled down, Grey Worm and the freed Unsullied boarded ships to head back east (presumably with the Dothraki, as well). Grey Worm’s destination was the Isle of Naath, which recalled his earlier conversation with Missandei back in Season 8, Episode 2. The pair had planned what they’d do after defeating the Night King and winning the Iron Throne for Daenerys: return to Naath, where the Unsullied would protect the isle’s peaceful people, as Grey Worm said. Though Cersei had Missandei killed, Grey Worm is still executing on the plan to make a home of Naath and to protect its people.

Also boarding a ship was Arya Stark, who decided she wouldn’t return home to Winterfell or live her life as a highborn lady. Instead, she means to explore the world by finding out what’s west of Westeros, a task she mentioned she might want to try her hand at back in Season 6 when she was still in Faceless Man training in Braavos. We don’t know what might be out there, in fact, but if anybody can handle what she finds, it’s Arya.

Oh, and Drogon is still out there. Apparently Bran is going to use his Three-Eyed Raven powers to maybe try to track the dragon down. In any event, dragons are still alive in the world, and that means there could one day be more of them.

And that’s it. War is over in Westeros, finally, and the fate of its people is in the hands of a group who seem to want to make life better for everyone in general. Whether they succeed is quite literally another story. As Tyrion told Jon, we’ll have to check back in 10 years to see whether the pair made the right decisions.
