Capcom has announced Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate for Nintendo Switch.
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate will be released exclusively on Switch on August 28. You’ll be able to play local wireless and online multiplayer with up to three other hunters for the first time.
You can transfer your original Monster Hunter Generations save data to continue your adventure in Ultimate.
Players will go up against the largest roster of unique monsters and must defend four villages from major threats known as the Fated Four. You’ll also be battling the dangerous new Elder Dragon, exploring new areas, completing quests for resources, and can look forward to returning fan-favorites like Zinogre and the Nargacuga.
By now, hopefully, you’ve seen Avengers: Infinity War, and you’re probably wondering where next year’s Avengers 4 will go, considering how many people died in the recent movie. Obviously, everyone that passed away with the dreaded “Thanos Snap” can’t stay dead forever in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, right? Otherwise, the MCU would barely have any heroes left to fight new bad guys.
However, there’s a good chance that not everyone will be coming back to life or end up dying in the fourth Avengers movie. So we’re taking a look at the major players that Thanos killed and figuring out their chance of survival after the Mad Titan is completely defeated. Obviously, Infinity War spoilers are ahead.
We don’t know much about Avengers 4, which hits theaters on May 3, 2019, not even the official title. Recently, we learned that Warlock–who appeared in a cocoon during a Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 mid-credit scene–will not be in the next Avengers movie. Surprisingly enough, most of what Infinity War directors Joe and Anthony Russo shot for Infinity War made it into the film, aside from one Guardians joke.
Keep in mind, this is all speculation, with little to no backing evidence for these claims. Obviously, a few characters on this list will be coming back–as they have future movies in the works–but for everyone one else listed, we simply looked at their possible future within the MCU to see if bringing them back made sense. We’re starting off with who is definitely staying dead. Click here to jump to who is coming back to life.
Asgard is gone, and we’re still not entirely sure how many of the leftover Asgardians actually survived the Thanos Snap. In the grand scheme of things, Heimdall has no Bifrost to guard, and he was straight-up killed by Thanos in the opening of the movie. As much as we love him, he doesn’t serve much of a purpose in the future of the MCU, and it’s ok if he stays dead.
Falcon has been a secondary character in the Captain America films. He’s essentially part of the B-Team (sorry, Falcon fans). And while many members of the B-Team will pave the way for a new generation of Avengers, Falcon will most likely not be a part of it.
Like Falcon, Hill has more or less been involved in SHIELD’s coming and goings, as well as whatever Steve Rogers is up to both on the small and big screen. While Agents of SHIELD still airs on ABC–where it’s in its fifth season–Hill hasn’t appeared on an episode in three years. SHIELD itself isn’t what it used to be, mainly since Winter Soldier, so Hill doesn’t really have a place in the MCU anymore.

We don’t know much about the Black Order, but they sure were cool. Yes, there is a chance that we could learn a bit more about the adopted sons and daughter of Thanos, but when the dust settles at the end of Avengers 4, these characters will be all kaput. There is no reason to keep them around.
This is a tough decision to make, but if anyone on the Guardians is going to die for real, it has to be Gamora. She has such an important role on the team and her growing relationship with Star-Lord was a nice addition to Infinity War. However, because Thanos sacrificed her, and she’s trapped in the Soul Stone, we have a feeling there’s no coming back from that. Additionally, we saw in Infinity War that Star-Lord lost it when he heard Gamora died. This will change him, but will it be for better or worse? How will this affect the team in the long run?
What in the heck has Nick Fury been up to anyway? We’ll learn more about the character in 2019’s Captain Marvel, but aside from the post-credit sequence in Infinity War, Fury hasn’t been in a Marvel movie since 2015’s Age of Ultron. He’s not a character that’s needed in the current MCU. He may have help set everything apart, but it’s grown so much without him. Additionally, if Fury stays dead, this could pave the way for Stark to take over in a mentorship role for the future Avengers, much like he did in Homecoming.
Loki’s story has run its course in the MCU. He’s been a friend and a foe throughout his numerous appearances in movies, and strangely enough, he’s been incredibly entertaining along the way. Before the next phase at Marvel can start, it needs to say goodbye to its first major villain, and that’s Loki.
Bucky staying alive after Avengers 4 is debatable, as his fate could go either way. Is he completely needed for the future of the MCU? Not necessarily, but there has been so much development for Bucky through Captain America, Winter Soldier, Civil War, his post-credit scene in Black Panther, and now in Infinity War, that killing him off seems like a waste. We see him as a leader in the future of the MCU, even though he’s been along a whole lot longer than most of the other characters in these franchises.
Even though there has only been one movie dealing with the mystic side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s already gone through a leadership change. Doctor Strange is now the Sorcerer Supreme and keeping him dead weakens that element of the MCU. In order to build on this aspect, Strange needs to stay alive, so we can all have more magical moments.
While some may think this duo’s lives are up for debate, these two will be the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Infinity War hinted that Vision can function without the Mind Stone, and we have a feeling Shuri worked her magic to make that happen. Furthermore, who doesn’t want a love story between Avengers? Both Vision and Scarlet Witch are extremely powerful characters who haven’t reached their full potential, which could help make for future storylines as well.

At the end of Infinity War, Rocket and Nebula were the last standing members of the Guardians, and Nebula is an associate of the team at best. Considering there is a third Guardians movie on the horizon, the team will need actual members to function properly. We don’t see anyone from the team mentioned above staying dead after Avengers 4. We may not be able to handle it as we’re still getting over the death of Yondu.
Much like Black Panther, Spider-Man: Homecoming already has a sequel in the works. Secondly, this is a new Spider-Man, and one that’s actually in the MCU, so getting rid of the web-slinger is not the best idea. It feels like Sony finally got it right with casting someone who looks like and can play a teenager, so why waste it now?
The return of T’Challa is a no-brainer. Aside from the fact a Black Panther sequel has been confirmed by Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, the character is so new to the MCU, and there is so much to explore–and not just in Wakanda. There is a huge demand from fans for more Black Panther, so there is no way he’s going anywhere, anytime soon.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds‘ new Savage map–now known as Sanhok–returns for a third round of testing tonight on PC. Ahead of the test, developer PUBG Corp. has shared patch notes on Steam, detailing the long list of changes players will encounter on this iteration of the map.
Most notably, PUBG Corp. has expanded Sanhok with four new areas: Cave, Tambang, Lakawi, Na Kham. Existing areas have also been renamed, and an assortment of them, such as Bhan (formerly Banyan Grove) and Mongnai (Coconut Farm), have received “various improvements.” You can see screenshots of the new and tweaked areas in the gallery below.
Additionally, PUBG Corp. has adjusted the spawn rate of certain weapons on Sanhok. The overall amount of item spawns on the map has been increased, as has total the amount of AR-type weapons. Specifically, PUBG Corp. has upped the spawn ratio of the M16A4 and AKM, while the M416 has been slightly decreased–although the developer says “the total amount spawned will remain similar to before.” Perhaps most importantly, players can now throw apples before boarding the plane.
PUBG Corp. has also adjusted how the red zone works on Sanhok. This time, the red zone will “generally” no longer appear within the white circle. This won’t always hold true, particularly when the blue circle is too close to the white one, but the developer says this change will make it riskier to play outside of the safe zone.
Lastly, PUBG Corp. has addressed a handful of issues that cropped up in previous incarnations of the map. In particular, the developer has removed some invisible objects in buildings and fixed an issue that caused the “aim punch” effect to be “too noticeable.” Blood effects will also now appear as intended, and the minimap displays areas 200 meters away, as opposed to 100.
You can read more about the changes on Steam. The third Sanhok test will begin tonight, May 10, and runs until May 14; you can find the exact start and end times below. This time, the test will be open to everyone who owns a copy of PUBG. To get in, all you’ll need to do is download the Experimental Test Server client, which will automatically appear in your Steam library prior to the test. The same client can also be used for future Sanhok betas.
