The NBC series Parks and Recreation may be off of the air, but the characters live on in the newest set of Funko Pop figures. Ron Swanson, Leslie Knope, Andy Dwyer, Li'l Sebastian, April Ludgate, and Bert Macklin are the newest additions to the Funko family, coming this summer.
Pricing has not been announced, but more than likely, they will cost as much as previous sets, around $11. You can check them all out below.
These figures will be available anywhere Funko Pops are sold, except for Macklin, which will only be available at Hot Topic. A set of Funko Pops for almost every movie and television franchise exists at this point. Recently, lines for Kingsman, Alien: Covenant, Destiny, and Justice League were announced.
Parks and Recreation ran for seven seasons on NBC from 2009-2015. The series, most notably, launched the career of Guardians of the Galaxy's Chris Pratt. Currently, the entire series is available for streaming on Hulu.
At the PC Gaming Show today, Microsoft announced Age of Empires: Definitive Edition to mark the 20th anniversary of the Age of Empires series. It's a remaster of the original game, featuring new and improved gameplay, Xbox Live-powered multiplayer, and a fully remastered soundtrack. Every asset has been remade, including tilesets and animation. It's got new zoom levels, as well.
Microsoft has modernized the UI; attack-move, control groups, idle villagers button have been added, among other things. It's redone how lobbies work, and there's now a friend system as a result of its use of Xbox Live. The Age of Empires web portal lets you track progress and compare against other players, too.
Adam Isgreen from Microsoft Studios also revealed that there's a beta coming for the game. You can sign up for the beta right now at the game's website. A full launch is slated for later this year.
As part of Microsoft's Play Anywhere program, two upcoming marquee games for the Xbox One were shown running on PC during the PC Gaming Show at E3 2017. Forza Motorsport 7 is the first in the Motorsport line to have a PC release, and Sea of Thieves is a new IP with pirate-themed multiplayer.
Forza Motorsport 7 has full mouse, keyboard, and controller support. But it was also stated that Turn 10 Studios will include support for any USB device. Creative Director Bill Giese said "every fan-requested wheel on the market" will work, even saying Turn 10 tested DDR mats and guitar peripherals. In addition, Forza Motorsport 7 will have 4K resolution support and unlocked frame rates.
The PC version of Sea of Thieves was said to not be a direct port of the Xbox One version. It'll have support for 4K resolution, unlocked frame rates, and even ultra-wide 21:9 resolutions.
Forza Motorsport 7 is set to release on November 7, while Sea of the Thieves is coming at an unspecified date in early 2018. Follow all the news, trailers, and analysis from E3 2017 by sticking to GameSpot.
In Revenant Kingdom, players will take on the role of the young king Evan, who is the ruler of the kingdom Ding Dong Dell, a place where cats, mice, and humans lived together. After a coup occurs, the young cat king must regain control of his kingdom after it has been taken over by an evil empire. Along the way, he'll team up with other adventurers and sky-pirates, who will join him in his quest to restore the kingdom and bring peace to the land.
While the first title was very much a high-profile collaboration between developer Level-5 and the legendary animators Studio Ghibli, Revenant Kingdom is a Level-5 production, with help from former Ghibli artist Yoshiyuki Momose. And judging from the trailers and many screenshots, it definitely looks to keep with with the vibrant and whimsical art style that this series is known for.
Earlier this year, it was announced that Ni no Kuni II would make an appearance on PC, which is a first for the series. With the expanded gameplay and new world to explore, Revenant Kingdom will most certainly find an audience on PC come release this November.
For more info about Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom, and other titles from Namco Bandai, check back with us at our E3 2017 hub for more updates on the latest titles.
LawBreakers, the new arena shooter from Gears of War designer Cliff Bleszinski, finally has a release date. It's coming quite soon, as is one final beta that will be open for everyone.
LawBreakers' testing phase continues later this month, with the final closed beta beginning on June 28. Two days later, an open beta begins as part of an event called Rise Up. It's unclear how long this will last for, but everyone will then be able to pick up the full game when it's released on August 8.
It'll be available for PC and, as recently announced, PS4. Both versions will be priced at $30--as Bleszinski noted on stage at the PC Gaming Show, there's "none of that $60 multiplayer-only bulls***." Cross-play will not be available, as Bleszinski has previously deemed it "dumb."
By Anonymous on Jun 12, 2017 11:54 pm EA's latest installment into the NFS franchise draws heavy inspiration from the Fast and Furious action films. We interviewed Will Ho, one of the game's developers, on our E3 stage about the ways that these influences change the game.
By Anonymous on Jun 12, 2017 11:51 pm Don't Starve developer Klei revealed its next game Griftlands at E3 2017's PC Gaming Show. It's a sci-fi RPG with Klei's signature art style.
The PC Gaming Show is happening now, and Brendan Greene from developer Bluehole just detailed some big updates coming to Playerunknown's Battlegrounds. This includes vaulting, more weather effects, and new weapons.
One of the most significant additions coming to the game is the ability to vault over objects. This will likely make fans very happy, as current mechanics make it extremely difficult to get over fences, rocks, and other small obstacles. As a result, it can be frustrating to navigate through the map. The update will add a new, specific mechanic for jumping or vaulting over small objects.
In addition, Greene announced that the studio is making new weather effects for the game. Right now, the map features only clear skies or downpour; there will soon be sunset and fog variants, as well. Greene said that these weather effects will influence gameplay. For example, since fog cuts down on visibility, sniping will be harder.
Other notable additions coming include replays and the OTS 7.62mm bullpup rifle. The replay system will allow you to rewatch an entire game with a free camera; the rifle is meant for short- to medium-range encounters.
Finally, Greene mentioned some longer-term content updates in the works. Two new maps are in development: one in the desert ruins of Peru, the other in the snowy Adriatic region. In addition, mod support will come, although it's still a ways off.
Greene didn't provide a timeframe for these updates. You can watch his entire presentation from the show above. Yesterday, Greene shared another piece of Battlegrounds news: it's coming to Xbox One this year with special enhancements for Xbox One X.

Star Wars Battlefront II's gameplay is a much-improved experience, thanks to the new clearly defined class system, which brings an element of strategic team play and makes combat feel much less random than in the previous game. We're getting the chance to try out all the new game mechanics at E3, along with the much-more diverse array of weapons, and you can get a look for yourself in the video above.
That's not the only way Star Wars Battlefront II is beating out its predecessor. Vehicles have improved a lot too, with better aerial maneuverability and smoother ground controls making the whole experience much more fun (and letting you cause much more damage). Get a look in the video below.
And then, of course, there are the heroes. Thanks to Darkness 429, we're getting a high-level look at hero-vs-hero battle, as Rey, Han Solo, and Darth Maul wield their lightsabers and blasters and show off the game's class-based gameplay dynamics. Check out the full gameplay video below of all three heroes in action.
With their new titles Far Cry 5, Assassin's Creed: Origins, and The Crew 2 already announced, we can definitely expect to see more of those particular titles during Ubisoft's live show. However, there's still much more to see with their other titles--South Park: The Fractured But Whole, and other few others looking to make their debut.
In addition to this, Ubisoft is expected to continue with their VR push. After the release of Star Trek: Bridge Crew, they're certainly looking to dive deeper into the VR medium, and it'll be interesting to see what they've got planned next.
Though the press conference is only an hour, they've got a whole selection of titles to show, and we'll be here liveblogging through the whole show.
A direct sequel to Total War: Warhammer will be coming to the PC on September 28. Aptly titled Total War: Warhammer 2, developer Creative Assembly showed off the elements that make up the new strategy game at the PC Gaming Show during E3 2017.
Total War: Warhammer 2 is the second game in a trilogy and will feature four new factions on a new continent called the New World. The game is said to focus on the High Elves and Lizardmen, but there will be Dark Elves and a currently unannounced fourth race.
There will also be a post-release update that will tie the entire world map of the first game to the single-player campaign for one larger campaign map.
Aubrey Norris, who works on the Minecraft team at Xbox, said on Twitter that the company "would love to have PlayStation players along with the unified Minecraft." She added: "Hope that we can." This tweet came in response to someone who took the recent unification news as something that would "kill" the PlayStation editions of the game by alienating that audience.

The big changes for Minecraft were announced during Microsoft's E3 2017 briefing on Sunday. You can read more about that change and what it means here in GameSpot's previous coverage.
Minecraft is becoming one of the first console games ever to support cross-play between competing consoles in the form of Xbox One-Nintendo Switch connectivity.
Keep checking back with GameSpot soon for lots more on Minecraft, cross-play, and more from E3 2017. Ubisoft's briefing is coming up this afternoon at 1 PM PT, while Sony's is slated for 6 PM PT.
Developer Klei Entertainment, the studio that made Mark of the Ninja and Don't Starve, announced a new game today called Griftlands. It's a stylish RPG in which, Klei claims, "everything is negotiable."
The game was revealed early through its Steam page, and then Klei announced it officially at the PC Gaming Show. It has a beautiful, cartoon-like art style, similar to Don't Starve with a bit of The Banner Saga thrown in.
The description states that players will pick their characters and then negotiate for everything, including money, morality, and loyalty. From the announcement trailer, it looks like it has turn-based combat and an isometric perspective.
We don't know much more about it yet, beyond that Klei states that it'll come in late 2017 or early 2018. There's no word on console versions yet. Keep an eye on GameSpot's E3 hub for more news about Griftlands and all other games coming out of E3 2017 this week.
