Star Wars Battlefront II introduces a wide variety of new classes, weapons, and vehicles, but one of the most dominant that we’ve seen so far is the AT-RT. The All-Terrain Recon Transport might not be as menacing or iconic as something like the AT-AT, but at least in the beta, it’s a versatile, powerful vehicle that you’ll want to take for a ride.

In the video above, you can see us putting the AT-RT through its paces and pulling off a lengthy killstreak. Whether it’s a tank, Darth Maul, or every enemy in Naboo’s throne room standing in its path, we found it to be a devastating vehicle–to the point where it might be in line for a balance adjustment in the full game.

Your opportunity to try out the AT-RT–and the rest of the game–ahead of release was scheduled to already come to a close. However, EA has now extended the Battlefront II beta, providing two more days with the upcoming sequel.

Battlefront II launches in full on November 17 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Aside from the single-player campaign, one other key feature you can look forward to is Darth Vader as a playable character.

A new box set of rare Pokemon cards is on its way. Called the Premium Trainer’s XY Collection, it’s the largest player set in TCG history and includes 14 tournament-ready, full-art holographic cards.

The set is based on popular cards from the XY series of the TCG, some with new art. Among the full-art foil cards are N and Shaymin-EX, both popular cards at tournaments. The collection also includes full-art Yveltal-EX, M Camerupt-EX, and M Sharpedo-EX. See close-ups of some of the cards below.

Also in the collection are two sets of dice, an XY-themed deck box and card sleeves, and two XY booster packs. To top it off, there’s an adorable metal Pikachu coin.

The Premium Trainer’s XY Collection will be available on October 20 at independent stores holding Sun and Moon: Crimson Invasion pre-release tournaments. It will be available in the Pokemon Center starting November 17.

For competitive TCG players, the set is a good opportunity to secure some rare, tournament-level cards. In other TCG news, shiny Pokemon will be returning after 10 years.

The much-anticipated second season of Stranger Things hits Netflix on October 27, and a new teaser has been released. As well as offering creepy music and visuals, it seems to reveal some of the episodes–or chapter–titles in the new season.

The chapter titles are “Mad Max,” “Trick or Treat Freak,” “The Pollywog,” “Will the Wise,” “Dig Dug,” and “The Spy.” However, as the teaser reveals, the titles of chapters 8, 9, and 10 are remaining a secret for now. Check it out below:

The second season is officially going under the title Stranger Things 2. Last month, creators Matt and Ross Duffer explained that there was initially some resistance from Netflix about this. “When we started describing it as a sequel, Netflix was like, ‘Don’t do that, because sequels are known to be bad,'” said Matt. “I was like, ‘Yes, but what about T2 and Aliens and Toy Story 2 and Godfather II?'”

The Duffers also stated that the show’s new creature would be named the “shadow monster.” Ross said: “It’s all connected to this singular threat, which is tied into this shape that Will sees in the sky. Each episode is building on the last one. It gets much crazier than it ever got in Season 1.”

Last month, it was confirmed that Stranger Things will return for Season 3. Initially the Duffers stated that Season 4 would be the final one; however, last week director Shawn Levy suggested that there could be a fifth season. “Hearts were heard breaking in Netflix headquarters when the brothers made four seasons sound like an official end, and I was suddenly getting phone calls from our actors’ agents,” he told Slashfilm. “The truth is we’re definitely going four seasons and there’s very much the possibility of a fifth. Beyond that, it becomes I think very unlikely.”

Those getting ready for the Prestige version of Destiny 2‘s Leviathan Raid now have some additional time to make their preparations. Bungie announced today that it has delayed the launch of Prestige mode after the discovery of a serious bug.

In a post on its website, Bungie explained that this bug would have negated the difficulty of Prestige mode–which is basically the entire point, being the hard-mode version of the Raid. “An exploit has been discovered in the Leviathan Raid that causes the encounters to be stripped of their intended challenge,” it explained. “To allow time to fix this issue, we are delaying the start of the Prestige Raid until next week. It’s important to us that the team who earns World First status doesn’t have their legacy tarnished by doubt, skepticism, or uncertainty.”

No further details were shared about the nature of the bug. It could be related to the recently discovery exploit that allows players to easily defeat Calus, which is documented here on Reddit.

The Leviathan Prestige Raid now launches at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM BST on Wednesday, October 18 (4 AM AEDT on October 19). That’s a full day after the weekly reset; it had been scheduled to launch just after this week’s, at 10 AM PT on October 10.

We don’t yet have a complete idea of how exactly the Prestige Raid will differ from the standard version. “We do not expect everyone to be successful in completing this activity,” Bungie said when it was first announced. “Mechanical changes to the encounters are minimal, but they are there.” We also know that rewards will be less about making you more powerful; instead, you can expect “unique rewards to help you shine.”

While Tuesday’s weekly reset may not bring a new challenge for Raid fans, the first-ever Iron Banner in Destiny 2 does kick off. It will run for a week and offer up some new rewards. Players can also look forward to the next Nightfall Strike, among other things.
