Avengers: Infinity War Shatters China Box Office Presale Records

Avengers: Infinity War has shattered box office presale records in China.

THR reports the third Avengers movie has garnered $47.5 million in presales as of late Wednesday night in Beijing. It’s now eclipsed Monster Hunt 2, which earned about $47 million in presales back in January.

The Fate of the Furious, which released in 2017, was Hollywood’s previous record holder in China with an estimated $25 million in presales.

Avengers: Age of Ultron is China’s biggest-earning superhero movie, having made $240 million in 2015, a total analysts believe Infinity War can reach as well. It opens in theaters on May 11 in China.

Call of Duty Black Ops 4 Teases New Zombies Mode

Treyarch is teasing the return of the ever-popular Zombies mode to Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.

The official E3 Twitter account seemed to reveal the mode early, but now Treyarch itself has teased the mode by tweeting an image stating “Mankind’s reckoning will be its salvation” and “So it begins… #Zombies.”

The tweet also features a number of strange symbols, along with a mysterious decaying figure removing an ominous mask.

The Next Generation is Finally Coming to Star Trek: Bridge Crew

Nearly a year after launch, Star Trek: Bridge Crew is finally getting what Ubisoft tells me is its most requested feature by far: The Next Generation-themed content. But on top of the androids, Borg cubes, and swanky wood-paneled interior, the DLC will also bring a new player role that’s essentially like playing FTL on the Enterprise-D.

While using this iconic new ship, the usual Engineer role gets swapped out for Operations. You still have similar responsibilities to the Engineer – charging warp coils and allocating power – but Operations is also given a side-view map of the Enterprise and a hand full of generic crew to move around it. Moving them to certain systems will provide different bonuses to your ship, and is basically a little mini-game in itself.

Dead by Daylight Dev’s Next Game Puts an FPS Twist on Asymmetrical PvP

Deathgarden, the newest game from Dead by Daylight developer Behavior Digital, is a different take on asymmetrical PvP. This near-future bloodsport has one person playing what seems like a more traditional FPS, but the other five are teamed up against them in a third-person game of capture point keepaway.

I got my hands on Deathgarden’s closed alpha, and it’s already deep, fast, and shaping up to be a whole lot of fun. It’s a simple premise: a team of five Runners have to sprint and climb around a randomized map, coordinating to capture two of the three available capture points. Meanwhile, a lone Hunter is trying to track them down and blast them to smithereens. The Runners have a bow for marking items and special abilities to impede the Hunter, but they can’t actual hurt them. The Hunter, however, has a lethal arsenal of assault rifles, shotguns, and more.

Jurassic World Evolution: Revealing Isla Tacano – IGN First

Jurassic World Evolution sticks you in charge of the Islands known as Las Cinco Muertes, which is more cheerfully known as The Five Deaths. Why anybody would decide to start a resort full of spiky teethed monsters on something called the FIVE DEATHS is beyond me but do you know what? I’m glad they did.

You can take a look at Isla Tacano in the video up above. The island is apparently a tropical paradise where the weather is generally nice BUT can be hit by the occasional be hit by severe storms and sometimes twisters. What could possibly go wrong with that?!

If you liked that then have a look at another Island of the Five Deaths, 20 minutes of gameplay on Island Matanceros which roughly translates as the Island of Slaughter…
