The latest trailer for Avengers: Infinity War is here. The upcoming film, which will be the longest Marvel movie to date, has all the heroes from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including the Guardians of the Galaxy. Together, they'll join forces to fight the evil Thanos. The villainous space titan is trying to collect all of the Infinity Stones in order to rule the universe. Can the Marvel heroes join forces and work together in order to defeat this threat?
There is a lot going on in this new trailer, so we're breaking it all down to figure out what's going on in the new film and a few of the Easter eggs the trailer dropped as well. In addition, the trailer introduced us to a few new bad guys who work alongside Thanos. If you're interested to see what happened to all the heroes before the film, make sure to check out "Avengers Infinity War: Where Is Everyone?" Let's breakdown what's going on in this new Infinity War trailer.
Avengers: Infinity War comes to theaters on April 27.
The trailer opens with an object entering the atmosphere above New York City. Gamora, the adopted daughter of Thanos, provides voice over as Bruce Banner, Black Widow, and War Machine look towards the sky: "The entire time I knew him, he only ever had one goal: to wipe out half the universe."
Gamora continues: "If he gets all the Infinity Stones, he can do it with the snap of his fingers."
Thanos adds the Space Stone to his Infinity Gauntlet, which he acquires somehow from Loki, who obtained it after the events of Thor: Ragnarok. Thanos already has the Power Stone in the Gauntlet, which was in the possession of the Nova Corps, but the mad titan has apparently already relieved them of it.
There is a quick shot of Peter Parker hanging onto the side of a bus, and he puts his Spider-Man mask on. He's still using the first suit Tony Stark game to him, so this shot is most likely from earlier in the film. The real question we have is "Was the training wheels protocol turned off?"
Villains sure do love attacking New York City, don't they? In a quick scene, we see a circular object in the background. We've seen this in the past, as Spider-Man was traversing one in the previous trailer. It's called a Q-Ship, but what is its purpose?
Groot Jr. is a baby no more. The son of the original Groot is now in his tween years, so he'll most likely be a bit more handy in battle. This is the only time we see Groot in the trailer.
Thanos looks best with his helmet on. The mad titan is somewhere in the universe, and it's apparent from the smoke billowing behind him that he is on the attack.
We quickly learn that this is essentially Gamora's origin story. Thanos comes to her planet, attacks, and takes the child with him. During consecutive shots, we see other green-skinned aliens standing behind the Chitauri guards. The bizarre takeaway from this moment is how willing Gamora seems to be to go alone with Thanos.
Within the trailer, there are a few scenes that show the true brutality and strength of Thanos. Above, you can see Thanos crushing Thor's head, and we have never seen Thor in that much pain in any of the films he's appeared in. Despite the fact he's the "second strongest Avenger," according to Tony Stark's computer (Thor: Ragnarok), he seems no match for Thanos.
Get ready for a new batch of bad guys. Accompanied by Loki, who has most likely turned on the heroes again, this is the Black Order--originally called Cull Obsidian in the comics. They are a group of Thanos's generals who are sent to Earth to destroy it. The team, which also goes by the name of "Midnight Slaughter," is made of up Corvus Glaive, Proxima Midnight, Black Dwarf (now called Cull Obsidian) and Ebony Maw. The character Supergiant is not pictured, and we're not sure if she's in the movie or not.
We quickly see Thanos crushing the Tesseract, which contains the Space Stone. Maybe Loki didn't betray the Avengers. Maybe this was all self-preservation as Thanos has been tracking the Infinity Stones, and Loki just happened to have one.
It looks like a lot of this movie takes place in Wakanda. We see Steve Rogers, Black Widow, Bruce Banner, James Rhodes, Sam Wilson, Vision, and Scarlet Witch all arriving together. During Civil War, they were fighting each other, so it's pretty obvious that the threat of Thanos has brought them all together. In addition, James Rhodes (War Machine) is wearing something around his waist and on his legs that helps him walk again, as he was injured by Vision in Civil War.
There is an overhead shot of what we can assume is the Chitauri attacking Wakanda. However, Wakanda's technology is incredibly advanced, and the city's force field seem to be holding up well to attack. Why is Wakanda being attacked though? Our guess is that the last Infinity Stone, the Soul Stone, resides in the country.
Much like Thor, Doctor Strange finds himself being dominated by someone during battle, with blades piercing his face. We have a pretty good feeling one of the Black Order is doing this to Doctor Strange, especially from the shot that follows.
Here's a closeup of Black Order member Ebony Maw. He is a master of manipulation and can affect people's minds with "webs" that give him information about that person's secrets. In addition, he can control them with these mind webs as well. Since he tends to avoid confrontation, he sends others to do his dirty work.
Finally, there is a shot of Captain America taking on Thanos, one on one. Rogers stops Thanos from crushing him with his giant hand, and Thanos gives him a confused look. Is it because Rogers is stronger than he appears or is Thanos confused as to why someone weaker than him is physically fighting back?
We'll learn more once Avengers: Infinity War comes to theaters on April 27.
If you're unhappy with the way your character looks in Monster Hunter World but have sunk too many hours into the game to start from scratch, you now have a chance to give your hunter a makeover. Ahead of next week's big Monster Hunter World update, Capcom has distributed a Character Edit Voucher, giving all PS4 and Xbox One players one free pass at tweaking their avatar.
The Character Edit Voucher is now available from the PlayStation Store and Xbox Store. With it, you can modify your character's gender and physical appearance. However, you won't be able to change your hunter's name, nor will you be able to edit your Palico's appearance or name.
The voucher is a single-use item, meaning you'll only have one opportunity to edit your hunter's appearance for free. If you're playing on PS4, you can grab the voucher directly from here; those on Xbox One can claim the item here. If you'd like to make any further changes to your hunter after using the freebie, Capcom will offer additional Character Edit Vouchers for purchase "at a later date."
The first major update for Monster Hunter World arrives on March 22. It most notably introduces a new monster to the game--the fearsome Deviljho--along with accompanying gear to craft. In addition to that, the update makes balance changes to almost every weapon type in the game and will no longer allow players to interrupt allies' carving animation, thereby preventing them from receiving their rewards.
Shortly after the Monster Hunter World update rolls out, Capcom will kick off the first seasonal event for Monster Hunter World: the Spring Blossom Fest. That runs from April 5-19 and features "daily fun activities," along with a redecorated Gathering Hub. Capcom will also hold two Event Quests during the Spring Blossom Fest: the first allows players to create the winning weapon from the community Weapon Design Contest, the Wyvern Ignition Great Sword; the second quest is for the Mega Man Palico armor.
As if Avengers: Infinity War wasn't already stuffed to the brim with actors and characters, the next chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has just confirmed one more major name. Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage will play a role in the movie.
No, he didn't appear in that amazing new trailer. Instead, Dinklage was confirmed by a new poster for the film, which features his name among the credits, sandwiched between Idris Elba (Heimdall) and Benedict Wong (Wong). However, what the poster doesn't reveal is who he's playing in the massive film.
In theory, he could be appearing via motion capture as a member of Thanos's Black Order, the four children of Thanos that do his bidding in the new film. Though Terry Notary has been confirmed to be playing Cull Obsidian and Tom Vaughan-Lawlor is in the role of Ebony Maw, both Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive have yet to officially have an actor attached to them. Of the two, Glaive seems most suited to be played by Dinklage.
Less likely is that the Emmy-winning actor would be reprising his character Bolivar Trask from X-Men: Days of Future Past. While chances are that the X-Men universe and the MCU will be joined eventually, Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox is not yet complete, which would make including the character rather difficult.
Graphics card prices are sky-high right now and have been for several months. Even though GPUs are being sold for two or three times their MSRP, they're still quickly flying off shelves thanks to the cryptocurrency craze. This has made it a horrible time to build or upgrade a gaming rig. Make sure you check out the video above for more details.
Lots of PC gamers have exclaimed that they're waiting for the bubble to burst, but considering cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin have been around since 2009, cryptomining doesn't show many signs of slowing down. If anything, it's been growing at a steady rate over the past decade.
Considering cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology are really interesting technologies that have the potential to be very disruptive in a wide variety of sectors, we have to consider the possibility that this might not be a bubble. While lulls and dips are expected to happen because the crypto market is highly volatile, this could be a new hurdle PC gamers have to deal with moving forward.
There's also the possibility that the pricing situation could get even worse. As it is right now, retailers like Amazon and Newegg are the ones reaping the benefits of the pricier GPUs. With Nvidia rumored to release a new line of GPUs in the near future, the graphics card manufacturer could inflate MSRP right out of the gate to get in on the action, too. We love PC gaming, but this could cripple the industry for who knows how long.
Couldn't AMD and Nvidia make GPUs geared specifically for miners? Or could they mitigate whatever makes gaming graphics card so effective at mining? It's possible, but would be difficult. Having spoken with AMD, the company told us that what makes a GPU good at mining is what makes it good at gaming. In other words, if a card manufacturer throttles mining performance, gaming performance would also suffer.
What are your options then? We suggest using browser extensions like Honey to give you GPU price alerts. Beyond that, right now is a better time to buy a pre-built rig. Vendors like Alienware and CyberPower PC have agreements with AMD and Nvidia that prevent them from overinflating the price of their systems based on the market value of GPUs. You could also build a PC with a high-end accelerated processing unit (APU) like AMD's Ryzen 5 2400G, which offers high-end integrated graphics. It performs roughly on par with a GTX 1050, so it isn't going to be a killer gaming rig, but it can tide you over until discrete GPU prices come down. Shadow is also on the horizon. The streaming service grants you access to a full-on, high-end Windows 10 PC in the cloud starting at $35 per month. It has some minor issues at the moment, but the tech is very promising. Beyond those options, we'll just have to hope for prices to return to normal.
Horror comes in many forms, from monsters and ghosts to psychotic killers and crazy cults. But there's nothing quite like body horror to separate the hardcore fright fan from the more casual viewer. The phrase 'body horror' was first coined in the British academic journal Screen in 1986, and it loosely describes movies where the terror comes from the human body itself, whether it's melting, mutating, or perhaps hosting some terrifying parasite.
1986 was also the year that David Cronenberg's classic The Fly brought the sub-genre to a wide mainstream audience, and since then many of most disturbing moments in cinema have been focused on flesh-based shocks. So here's some of the gloopiest, goriest, and most gruesome body horror scenes of all time….
12. Brain Damage (1988)
Frank Henenlotter directed the 1982 classic Basket Case, the wonderfully sleazy tale of a young man who keeps his horrifically misshapen brother in a basket. But it was his second movie, Brain Damage, that really delivered the body horror goods. The movie is a drug analogy, in which an evil leech-like brain-eating parasite called Aylmer forces his hosts to bring him victims by getting them hooked on a hallucinogenic drug that he secretes directly into their brains. The highlight is an amazingly gruesome scene in which our hero Brian hallucinates that he is slowly pulling his entire brain out through his ear.
11. From Beyond (1986)
Director Stuart Gordon followed his classic 1985 zombie comedy Re-Animator with the darker, weirder From Beyond. Based once more on a story by HP Lovecraft, it focuses on two rival scientists who are attempting to see beyond our normal reality using a machine known as the Resonator. Of course, the machine does more than that, and it ends up physically changing the doctors, providing plenty of opportunity for gloopy body horror. In particular, the villainous Dr. Pretorius goes through some wonderfully strange transformations, including the one pictured above.
10. The Ruins (2008)
While much of the body horror on this list is the result of scientific experimentation, The Ruins is an example of nature fighting back. This horror tale features a bunch of American tourists who stumble upon a Mayan template and find themselves trapped by predatory, flesh-eating vines. There's a particularly unpleasant scene in which one of the party realises that the vines have invaded her body and are moving around beneath her skin, forcing her friends to cut her open and pull them out.
9. Videodrome (1982)
No body horror list would be complete without at least a couple of movies from the master of the sub-genre: David Cronenberg. For many fans, the director's finest movie is the mind-warping thriller Videodrome, in which a TV signal induces horrific hallucinations, allowing Cronenberg to indulge in a series of increasingly disturbing sequences. In one, star James Woods discovers that he has grown a vaginal slit in his belly, into which he plunges a gun. Later on, one of the movie's villains declares, "I've got something I want to play for you!" and pops a pulsating, organic videotape in there.
8. Antiviral (2012)
David Cronenberg's son Brandon has also ventured into filmmaking, following in his dad's footsteps with this seriously weird sci-fi tale of celebrity obsession. In the future, fans can buy "celebrity viruses," to experience the same medical afflictions of their idols. You want to share the same herpes infection as your favourite pop star? No problem. The scene most worthy of the Cronenberg name is a dream sequence in which our infected hero imagines he is transforming into a twisted fusion of man and machine.
7. The Thing (1982)
John Carpenter's sci-fi horror favorite might have been a critical and commercial bomb when it was first released in 1982, but it's now considered one of the finest horror movies ever made. The movie showcased some incredible work from VFX genius Rob Bottin, as the titular creature imitates a group of scientists stationed at an arctic base, making its appearance in the most gruesome ways possible. The most outrageous transformation sequence is a procession of increasingly gobsmacking moments, which starts with the team's doctor attempting to resuscitate one of his colleagues after he seemingly suffers a heart attack. It's probably easier to go and watch it, but as one of the other scientists exclaims at one point: "You gotta be f***ing kidding me!"
6. Slug Girl (2018)
Given how weird a lot of horror anime can get, it's no surprise there's quite a bit of animated body horror from Japan. Artists Junji Ito is considered one of the key figures in horror manga, having created such books as Tomie, Uzumaki, and Gyo. January saw the release of The Junji Ito Collection, which adapts 10 of his most disturbing stories into short anime films. One of them is titled Slug Girl and is a spectacular slice of wild body horror, in which a girl's tongue begins to transform into a giant slug. It starts off disgusting and just gets worse from there.
5. Street Trash (1987)
This outrageous 1987 horror comedy goes out of its way to offend. From the necrophilia jokes to a game of football played with a ripped-off male member, Street Trash really does have something for everyone. The main plot centres around a batch of ancient whiskey that an unscrupulous liquor store owner sells to the bums of Brooklyn, which has the unfortunate side effect of making them melt. The first meltdown is also the most spectacular, as one poor fella sits down on an abandoned toilet, takes a swig, and quickly turns into gloop in gloriously colourful style.
4. Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989)
Japanese director and actor Shinya Tsukamoto recently appeared in Martin Scorsese's historical drama Silence, giving an acclaimed, dignified performance. But 30 years ago, Tsukamoto was making an impact in a very different way. His directorial debut, Tetsuo: The Iron Man, is an insane black-and-white cyberpunk nightmare, in which a man gets his revenge on the couple who tried to kill him, by transforming himself into a fusion of man and machine. In the movie's most shocking scene, Tetsuo kills his girlfriend by raping her with a spinning drill, which has replaced his… well, you can probably guess.
3. The Fly (1986)
Cronenberg's best known and most successful movie also features some of his most outrageous body horror moments, as Jeff Goldblum slowly and painfully changes into--yes--a fly! There's almost too many juicy scenes to choose from, but for sheer disgustingness it's hard to top the final moments of Goldblum's transformation, as what remains of his human flesh falls away and the insect emerges.
2. Society (1990)
There's no other horror movie quite like Society. Directed by Re-Animator producer Brian Yuzna, it's a satire of 1980s class and privilege that plays out like a weird, subversive soap opera. Ex-Baywatch star Billy Warlock discovers that his privileged, status-obsessed friends and parents are in fact shape-shifting, power-mad sex mutants. The movie ends with the infamous orgy scene in which the movie's elite merge gloopily into one another while literally consuming their victim. The class metaphor might not be subtle, but the whole sequence is unforgettable.
1. The Human Centipede (2009)
Tom Six's shlock-horror-comedy The Human Centipede has become synonymous with outrageous, disgusting horror; even non-horror fans who would run a mile from watching it know the movie's name. And they have good reason to run too, as Six fully delivers on the promise of the title. There's no scene sicker than the one in which mad Dr. Heiter wakes up his creation, three kidnapped victims who have been sewn together to form a disturbing mock-centipede. The whole sequel is made even worse by the doc's wild jubilation that his experiment has worked. As his victims cry in terror, he weeps tears of joy.
Microsoft's open-world pirate game Sea of Thieves makes its anticipated debut next week. If you're considering picking it up but don't yet have an Xbox One (or have been thinking about upgrading to the more powerful X), the company has announced a new promotion that may pique your interest.
For a limited time, players who purchase a new Xbox One X from participating retailers will receive a digital copy of Sea of Thieves for free. The Xbox One X typically retails on its own for $500 and does not come bundled with any titles, making this a good opportunity to pick one up along with one of the console's most anticipated exclusives of 2018 at no additional cost.
The promotion begins in "most Xbox markets" on March 18 and will be available through March 24, giving you only a few days to take advantage of the offer. However, Microsoft notes that the exact start and end dates may vary depending on the region and advises players to check with their local retailers first. You can find more details about the promotion on Major Nelson's blog.
If you're more interested in the cheaper Xbox One S, Microsoft is also offering a Sea of Thieves Xbox One S bundle, which launches alongside the game next week. It retails for $300 / £250 and includes a digital copy of the title, a 1 TB Xbox One S, an Xbox One controller, and one-month subscriptions to both Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass.
Sea of Thieves releases for Xbox One and PC on March 20. That same day, it will also be available to player on Xbox Game Pass, thanks to Microsoft's new initiative to bring all first-party releases to the service day the day they launch. In the meantime, you can read the 10 reasons we're excited for Sea of Thieves and our hands-on impressions of the pirate game.
By Anonymous on Mar 16, 2018 11:01 pm Ben and Erick start prepping for Deviljo's arrival as well as check out some of the new weekly event resets to come in Monster Hunter World.
On Monday, WWE announced a women's battle royal match at Wrestlemania 34. The event was going to be called "The Fabulous Moolah Memorial Battle Royal," but after complaints about the name, the company decided to make a change.
Much like The Andre The Giant Battle Royal match for the men, which began in 2014, the 30-woman battle royal match was going to debut at Wrestlemania 34 and would be named after wrestling legend The Fabulous Moolah. However, the famed star had a dark side which consisted of many deplorable things, including pimping other female wrestlers out to make extra money on the side, as '80s wrestler Mad Maxine stated in the past (via Slam Sports). While WWE posted a video praising Moolah's career, fans took to social media to highlight the other side of the story.
On Thursday, chief brand officer of the WWE, Stephanie McMahon, announced on Twitter the event will be renamed.
Thank you @WWEUniverse for using your voice. What remains most important is that the "@WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal" will be a historic match and is part of @WWE's unwavering commitment to our Women's Division. #WomensEvolution#ChangeTheName
As a follow-up, WWE made a statement about the new name for the battle royal: "After further consideration, we believe it's best to proceed with the name 'WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal.' What remains most important is that this historic match is part of WWE's unwavering commitment to the Women's Division."
The Fabulous Moolah had a long career in wrestling, beginning in 1949. While she's noted for standing the test of time and remaining in the spotlight, even into the late '90s, she's also been accused of pimping out the young women she trained, stealing money from other wrestlers, racism, and having a stranglehold on booking, among other things. Moolah passed away in 2007 at her home in South Carolina at the age of 84.
The Wrestlemania Women's Battle Royal will take place at Wrestlemania 34 on Sunday, April 8, in New Orleans.
The Witcher developer CD Projekt Red recently teased that series protagonist Geralt would make an appearance in a new game coming out this year. Fans instantly began speculating that he would be playable in the new SoulCalibur--a franchise known for its guest characters--and sure enough, Geralt is a SoulCalibur VI character. And it turns out that Bandai Namco isn't wasting the opportunity to let people know he's included.
Amazon listings for the PS4 and Xbox One versions of SoulCalibur VI have gone live, revealing the game's box art. It turns out that it's the same keyart we saw alongside the recent announcement, meaning that Geralt--along with Mitsurugi--is featured prominently right on the front of the box.
This isn't unusual for the series, but it's first confirmation that the tradition will continue. Bandai Namco likes to prominently display the franchise's guest characters on box art, whether it's Link in SoulCalibur II on Gamecube, Yoda or Darth Vader in the Xbox 360/PS3 versions (respectively) of SoulCalibur IV, Ezio in SoulCalibur V, and so on.
"We've collaborated with Bandai Namco artists to faithfully recreate Geralt, and shared original Witcher 3: Wild Hunt assets like Geralt's model, animations, and weapons," said CD Projekt Red community lead Marcin Momot. "I think Bandai Namco did an outstanding job of capturing all the details and introducing The Witcher to SoulCalibur in a way fans of both series will enjoy."
Among the other characters confirmed for SoulCalibur VI are Ivy, Zasalamel, Kilik, Xianghua, Nightmare, and new addition Groh. The game does not yet have an exact release date, but it's due out for PS4, Xbox One, and PC sometime this year.
Fortnite developer Epic has announced it is removing another item from Battle Royale--at least, temporarily. Due to a bug that was recently discovered, the studio will be taking the Boogie Bomb out of the game while it works on a fix.
Epic made the announcement on Twitter, tweeting that it will be "temporarily disabling" the Boogie Bomb until it can fix the bug. Like its name implies, the Boogie Bomb forces other players to dance uncontrollably for a set amount of time (or until they take damage). However, an exploit was discovered (via Reddit) that allows players to use the Boogie Bomb to carry unlimited weapons.
Essentially, by bombing themselves with the item, the game would let players continue picking up weapons beyond the typical item cap. Normally, Battle Royale limits you to carrying five weapons/items at a time, but thanks to the exploit, players could effectively pick up an unlimited amount, which would naturally give them an unfair advantage over others.
Unlike the smoke grenades, which were removed entirely from Battle Royale and placed in the "Vault," the Boogie Bomb will return once the exploit has been addressed. Epic hasn't provided a time frame for when it expects the Boogie Bomb to return, but the studio says it will provide an update once the issue has been resolved.
A bunch of new games are now available for Nintendo Switch. Compared to recent weeks, this one is fairly light in terms of releases; only 15 new titles arrive for the console, but they include one of Nintendo's most recognizable mascots.
Headlining this week's Switch releases is Kirby's Star Allies, the pink puffball's first adventure for Nintendo's hybrid console. Like most other Kirby games, Star Allies is a side-scrolling platformer. This time, however, players are able to explore alongside three companions (controlled either by the AI or other players) and use their powers together to progress through levels. You can learn more about the title in GameSpot's Kirby Star Allies review and review roundup.
Kirby Star Allies
Also available this week is Splatoon 2: Starter Edition. This version of the colorful Switch shooter features the same content as the base game, but it comes bundled with two sticker sheets and a strategy guide to help teach newcomers the basics of the gameplay. The Starter Edition arrives ahead of Splatoon 2's first paid DLC pack, the Octo Expansion, which releases this summer and adds 80 new single-player missions, along with the ability to play as an Octoling for the first time.
Some other notable titles out this week include the elegiac adventure game Last Day of June; the top-down shooter Tesla vs. Lovecraft; the fast-paced first-person platformer Clustertruck; the stylish physics puzzle game Neonwall; and the latest ACA Neo Geo game, Aero Fighters 3. You can find the full list of this week's Nintendo Switch releases below.
In honor of GOG.com's St. Patrick's Day Sale, we teamed up with them to give away 600 PCgame codesfree from their catalog. The PC game codes will be a mystery code, redeemable on GOG's platform, and are DRM-free.
This is not an instant win; scroll down to enter below. Competition ends Friday, March 16th at 5:00 PM PT. Six-hundred (600) winners will be emailed a code. Open worldwide, void where prohibited. No purchase necessary.
The new trailer for Avengers: Infinity War is here. The movie will see every major hero from the Marvel Cinematic Universe team up to stop the evil Thanos getting his hands on the Infinity Stones, and causing the end of the world. You can see our Infinity War trailer breakdown for all the small details.
The trailer gives a good indication of just how epic the movie will be, with huge battles between the Marvel heroes and Thanos's armies, and some amazing-looking action. But there's also plenty of humor, as some of the characters meet for the first time. In particular, it looks like Star Lord and Tony Stark might have an enjoyably spikey relationship. Check it out above.
Avengers: Infinity War stars Robert Downey Jr., Chadwick Boseman, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Pratt, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Tom Holland. It hits theaters on April 27. It is directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, who helmed the last two Captain America movies, and will follow it up with next year's currently untitled Avengers 4.
Fortnite Battle Royale on mobile is almost exactly the same game as on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. There will even be crossplay between the different platforms. However, there are still a few differences to Fortnite on phones that are meant to assist with playing on a smaller, portable device.
Specifically, the iOS version adds a few visual cues to allow you to play without headphones. Events that otherwise would be conveyed through sound--footsteps or the direction of gunfire, for example--show up in the HUD.
If a player is moving nearby, a white arc will show up a bit outside of your crosshairs in the direction of the movement. If gunfire is nearby, a red arc will point you in that direction. The game also displays an indicator pointing you to chests, if you're in proximity to one.
The most obvious change is, of course, the lack of physical buttons; you move your character using on-screen controls. However, in spite of the virtual controls taking some time getting used to, Fortnite Battle Royale on iPhone is the full game, and it runs pretty well too. Be sure to check out gameplay of Fortnite running on iPhone in the embed above.
The game is live now and the first invites have been sent out; Android support will come in the next few months. In addition, it'll support optional cross-play with other platforms. Meanwhile, a new 3.3 update has launched for the game which adds Battle Royale and Save the World content.
