What a long, strange trip it's been.
Final Fantasy XV is finally out now for PC, which means there's a multitude of newcomers playing the game for the first time. For the uninitiated, there's a lot to consider at any moment in battle, and if you want to be efficient and successful in the open world, there are best practices that will help you save time, earn money, and quickly level up your party. Whether you're playing on PC or consoles, here are some of the best tips and tricks to get you started. The PC version of Final Fantasy XV includes the base game and its various DLC expansions, including those themed around each of your party members and the one adding the Comrades multiplayer mode. Additionally, if you purchase the game by May 1, you'll be entitled to Half-Life/Final Fantasy XV and The Sims 4 crossover content. If you're looking to play Final Fantasy XV on PC, you can find out if your computer can run it by checking out the minimum and recommended specs here. Additionally, Square Enix has released a bechmark tool that helps you optimize your computer to run the game. Also out now is Final Fantasy XV's Royal Edition for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. This package includes the base game and all previously released DLC.
Generate Infinite Stamina And Run Forever
We know you want to dive into Final Fantasy 15 as soon as you can. But before you do, consider hopping into the Options menu. Beyond adjusting control and audio preferences [not a fan of the english voice actors? Give the Japanese track a spin] there are other settings that can have a big impact in the long run. Though you travel most of the world by car, you spend a lot of time on foot when you unbuckle and explore wild habitats and dungeons. Noctis can sprint until his stamina meter runs out, at which point he will jog until his meter refills at least halfway. The best way to manage this process is to make sure the stamina meter is visible in the first place, which can be set within the options menu. Monitoring your stamina meter is also a critical part of executing the game's hidden infinite stamina trick. It works like this: the moment before your stamina runs out, quickly let go and re-press the run button. This causes to Noctis dash forward, glow green for an instant, and then his stamina bar will instantly refill.
Adjust The Battle Camera
By default, the in-game camera sticks fairly close to the action during combat. This isn't usually a problem, but as battles grow in scale over time, adjusting the camera ultimately feels more like a requirement than an option. It simply makes your life easier when the going gets tough. To set this up, head into the camera settings menu and adjust the distance to the far setting.
Warp Regularly In Combat
When the going gets tough, you can usher Noctis to safety mid-battle by taking advantage of nearby warp-points, a tactic the game teaches you early on. Attaching yourself to a warp-point not only gives you a chance to catch your breath and assess the battle at hand, it instantly refills your MP meter--used for warping and phasing through enemy attacks. These are easy principles to understand, but given the pace of combat, you may not think of halting your flow, but you should; when you run out of MP, Noctis enters stasis and moves sluggishly, incapable of tapping into his innate powers. Warping thus gives you an easy means to keep the action going by constantly having a fresh source of power. Noctis can also warp-attack enemies, and the further the distance, the greater the damage multiplier that's applied to his attack. Given that warp-points are typically set up high on the edge of an arena, they are the perfect place to warp-attack enemies for maximum damage.
Pay Your Compliments To The Chef
When you pull over at roadside rest stops and outposts, look for the fork and knife icon to locate a restaurant or food merchant. Eating food is one way to give yourself an advantage in battle as the game's numerous dishes boost your party's HP, attack and defense ratings, and other stats, depending on what you eat. Be careful not to rest at camp or a motel after eating, however: it will negate your buffs by the time you wake up. Be sure you don't dine and dash: the people selling food are valuable sources of information. A quick chat with service staff will pinpoint local shops, item procurement points, and treasure locations on your map. It's easy to waste time by accidentally wandering around a map in search of any of the above, so the best way to save yourself the trouble is to take advice whenever and wherever you can. Do this at every location the first time you visit and you'll be thankful in the long run.
Take On Bounties To Earn Money
Money is difficult to come by in Eos, in part because--unlike past Final Fantasy games--enemies no longer drop gil in battle. To earn extra gil and have enough on hand to purchase restorative items before a big battle, make sure to speak to the same cooks we mentioned earlier to sign up for monster bounties. These side quests send you out into the field to kill a particular group of monsters, and there are bounties for players of all levels, so you don't have to wait to get started. Completing a bounty usually results in a four-figure payout and an expensive or hard-to-get restorative item.
Avoid Traveling At Night Until Later In The Game
After a hard day in the field, you may find yourself out and about at nightfall, but be careful. Once the moon rises, high-level enemies can rise from the earth at a moment's notice, putting your party and your progress in serious danger--you can only apply earned-XP by sleeping, after all. There will come a day when you are strong enough to wander freely after dark, but when you see the sun begin to set, consider heading to a nearby outpost or campsite to catch your breath and wait for sunrise. Besides: Eos is not only its safest in the daytime, it's also when it looks its best.
Rack Up XP And Stay At A Trailer, Motel, Or A Fancy Hotel
The added benefit of calling it a day and heading in for the night is that you get to cash in your party's experience points and--hopefully--level up. To get the most out of your hard-earned XP, consider staying in a camper, motel, or a hotel, rather than a campsite. While campsites give you a chance to eat food and temporarily buff your stats, the aforementioned options come with valuable XP multipliers, albeit in exchange for gil. At 30 Gil per night, campers come with a 1.2x multiplier. For 300 gil, roadside motels offer 1.5x your earned-XP. In Galdin Guay, for a whopping 10,000 gil, your XP is doubled. Motels are your best bet to make progress without, so keep track of where they're located and you will level up fast without breaking the bank.
Examine The Map For Curious Landmarks
When you think you've seen everything in Eos, think again. There are many hidden dungeons and secret items strewn about the world. They aren't always easy to find, but if you examine your world map and keep an eye out for structures or anything that looks curiously tucked away in nature, examine it first-hand and you may be surprised what you find.
Use Accessories Strategically
Every member of your party comes with different strengths and weaknesses, and it's important to manage your equipment accordingly to ensure that you're getting the most out of your allies in battle. To give them a fighting chance, consider bolstering Prompto and Noctis' HP with bangle accessories. Prompto has low HP anyway, and Noctis--being the leader of the pack--can use all the health he can get. Ignis is a great magic user, so focus on boosting his magic stats, and of course, put spells in his secondary weapon slot. Even though Gladiolus is strong, he attacks slowly; focus on accessories that boost his attack rating to get the most out of every hit.
Study The Ascension Grid And Plan Ahead
The Ascension Grid is where you spend valuable ability points earned while leveling up and performing various tasks around Eos. The one problem: AP belongs to your entire team, not individual characters. To plan ahead and avoid buyer's remorse, study every panel and pinpoint the short- and long-term abilities you want the most. To get you started, consider focusing on abilities that boost Noctis' warp attack and ones that increase the your chances of performing link-strikes with teammates.
Take Your Time And Enjoy Everything Eos Has To Offer
It may sound simple given the open-world nature of the game, but take your time when running between story missions and be sure to sample the various types of side-quests that come your way. Final Fantasy XV's story moves fast towards the end, and it's easy to get swept up in the chain of events and lose sight of the opportunities that surround you. Diversifying your efforts across Eos will not only give you multiple chances to earn extra money and XP, but it will help you uncover the game's biggest secrets to boot.

How will Rebels' events affect Star Wars as a whole?
After 4 seasons on Disney XD, Star Wars Rebels has come to a close--but not without leaving us with some interesting possibilities of things to come. Here are a few of the things that we learned from the series finale and what it could mean for the Star Wars canon as a whole. Be sure to also check out our other Star Wars Rebels content including a tease from Star Wars Rebels boss for what comes next as well as information at long last on who voices beloved droid Chopper.
8. Hera & Captain Rex Take Part In The Battle Of Endor
Many have speculated for a while now that the above character from Return of the Jedi could be Captain Rex, and with the confirmation in this episode that Rex, alongside Hera Syndulla, were actually there, it appears this theory may actually be true. This is one retcon fans will be overjoyed to see.
7. Jacen Syndulla
We've now learned that Hera was actually pregnant with Kanan's child as she gave birth to Jacen Syndulla, spelled exactly as fans hoped it would be. This is a nod to Jacen Solo, Han & Lea's child in the old Expanded Universe, who would eventually turn to the Dark Side and become Darth Caedus. Will Jacen be Force-sensitive like his father Kanan before him?
6. Sabine Stays On Lothal
With Ezra's sacrifice, Lothal was finally freed from the Empire's grip and provided a huge win for the Rebels. Due to fear of retaliation, Sabine stayed back for many years to ensure that it remained this way. However, such an attack never came and we have now learned that the current timeline has skipped ahead to right after the Battle of Endor seen in Return of the Jedi.
5. Zeb & Kallus Survive
Despite many close encounters throughout the series, Zeb and Kallus both end up surviving and have made it past the Battle of Endor. We even get a nice glimpse of Zeb introducing Kallus to the remaining Lasats, who have embraced Kallus as one of them.
4. Rukh Dies
Rukh has been nearly killed on several occasions during this final season of Star Wars Rebels but he finally met his end in the finale after an epic battle with Zeb Orrelios. If the show creators were to ever do their own take on the Heir to the Empire storyline, Rukh would no longer be alive to serve as the bodyguard to Grand Admiral Thrawn.
3. Ahsoka Lives
In the week prior to the finale, we saw Ezra save Ahsoka from certain death by utilizing the gateway in the Lothal Temple. However, after their run in with Emperor Palpatine, Ahsoka went back through the portal to Malachor and descended down into the Sith Temple. While we are unsure of what she was doing all this time, we see that she has finally resurfaced to join Sabine in their search for Ezra.
2. Ezra & Thrawn May Both Be Alive
In a heroic sacrifice, Ezra stays aboard the Star Destroyer and goes into hyperspace with the Purrgil. We see Thrawn captured but still alive when they make the jump. This leaves the possibility for Thrawn to still be around past the events of Endor should they decide to follow up on the show. If they wanted to, they could even do their own version of Heir to the Empire with Thrawn collecting the pieces of the shattered Empire after Endor, albeit without Rukh.
1. Possibility For More To Come
With the exception of Kanan, everyone on the Ghost Crew is still alive, leaving open the possibility for the continuation of the series. The final moment in the Rebels finale intentionally leaves that option open, as Sabine and Ahsoka seemingly are about to embark on a journey to find Ezra. With the time skip now placing the Ghost Crew after the Battle of Endor, there is plenty of room to explore where they were all at during the Original Trilogy as well as show them taking part in big moments, such as Hera and Rex on Endor. Whatever route they choose to take, here's to hoping this isn't the last time we see the Ghost Crew in action.

The first two months of 2018 have already seen some great TV shows, including Altered Carbon, The End of the F***ing World, Black Lightning, Everything Sucks, and the return of Jessica Jones. But there's loads more to come. While fans will have to wait until 2019 before we get more Stranger Things and Game of Thrones, there are still a ton of small screen goodies worth getting excited about. There's the return of some of 2017's best shows (Mindhunter, Ozark, Black Mirror), more offerings from Marvel and DC, some lavish reworkings of classic sci-fi and horror properties, and a handful of intriguing new titles. So here's the biggest TV shows to watch over next ten months...
21. Krypton
SYFY, March 21 SYFY takes a step into the DCEU with Krypton, a Superman prequel series created by David S. Goyer (Man of Steel, The Dark Knight). The program will follow Superman's grandfather, Seyg El (Cameron Cuffe), as he fights to bring honor back to the House of El, while attempting to save Krypton from falling into complete chaos. The series is billed as a prequel but the timeline will allegedly take place in the past, present, and future. And since this is a DC show, we're expecting other comic-book heroes--like Adam Strange and Hawkwoman--to make appearances too.
20. Maniac
Netflix Maniac will probably be one of the weirder series of the year. Given the names attached, though, the show comes with huge buzz. Cary Fukunaga helms the dark comedy, which stars Emma Stone, Jonah Hill, and Justin Theroux. The story centers on a patient living in a psychiatric hospital who escapes reality by living his life inside a fantasy world maintained solely inside his own mind. It sounds bonkers, but if Fukunaga brings the same sensibilities he brought to True Detective, the network may have a winner on its hands.
19. Roseanne
ABC, March 27 Roseanne was one of the defining comedies of the late '80s and '90s--it took the standard sitcom family format and applied it to a situation that was immediately relatable to its millions of fans, as the Conners struggled with work, money, and relationships. The original cast, including Roseanne Barr, John Goodman, Laurie Metcalfe, and Sara Gilbert, have reunited after 21 years for a new batch of episodes. The new season has clearly rewritten the controversial events of the original run's finale (which included the death of Goodman's character), but if the first trailer is anything to go by, the chemistry between the actors is still there, so expect laughter and tears in equal measure.
18. Sharp Objects
June, HBO The HBO drama is inspired by Gillian Flynn's novel of the same name. The series stars Amy Adams as a journalist who heads home after a stint in a psychiatric facility, only to find herself investigating the murder of two girls. If you take the tone and subject matter of Flynn's previous work (Gone Girl) and add Jean-Marc Vallee's (Big Little Lies) directorial skills into the mix, it's easy to see Sharp Objects' edgy allure.
17. Titans
DC digital channel While the quality of DC's movie output has been variable (to say the least), its roster of TV shows remains remarkably consistent. Titans is the latest addition. A live-action version of the Teen Titans, it's been in development since 2014, but shifting channels and cancelled pilots has meant very slow progress to the screen. But it is finally set to premiere in 2018, on DC's currently untitled new digital service. Australian actor Brenton Thwaites (Gods of Egypt, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales) plays Dick Grayson/Robin, leading a team of young superheroes that includes Starfire, Raven, and Beast Boy.
16. The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
Netflix The Coen Brothers are coming to TV. That sentence alone should get people excited. The duo--who brought classics like Fargo, The Big Lebowski, and No Country for Old Men to the big screen--will both write and direct a new western anthology series for Netflix. The six episode program will star Tim Blake Nelson, with each episode following a different character and story. Not much else has been announced regarding the series, but that's fine. The Coen Brothers are coming to TV and that's pretty awesome.
15. The Umbrella Academy
Netflix A comic book property outside of Marvel's purview is on its way to Netflix. The Umbrella Academy comes from the mind of My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way. The series tells the story of some not-pregnant women who suddenly give birth to a bunch of superpowered babies. Taking place in an alternate timeline--one where JFK is still very much alive--the story follows seven kids as they undergo training to save the world. Ellen Page has been tapped to star in the program, and Way will serve as producer.
14. Cloak and Dagger
Freeform, June 7 On the fact of it, the upcoming Marvel show Cloak and Dagger seems similar to Hulu's own Marvel series Runaways--runaway teens coming to terms with their emerging superpowers. But Cloak and Dagger, based on the popular '80s comic book, should make for a more darker and emotional ride. Aubrey Joseph and Olivia Holt play two kids who are living on the streets of New York, using their control over darkness and light to fight a drug epidemic sweeping the city.
13. The Twilight Zone
CBS: All Access Since anthology TV shows are all the rage now, it seems only right that the granddaddy that started it all come out of retirement. Jordan Peele (Get Out, Key and Peele) and Simon Kinberg (Deadpool, Logan) have teamed up to bring a new Twilight Zone to the masses. Sure, multiple versions of The Twilight Zone have graced the big and small screen over the past 60 years--some better than others--but now seems like the perfect time for the series to return.
12. Ozark, Season 2
Netflix When Ozark premiered last year, many compared it to Breaking Bad, both in terms of its plot (an ordinary family man who chooses a life of crime) and its mix of violent thrills and dark humor. But the show quickly grew into its own thing and emerged as one of 2017's most enjoyable original series. Season 2 already has a teaser and has been shooting since last fall, so there's a good chance of it arriving in 2018. Jason Bateman returns as money-laundering dad Marty Byrde, with Laura Linney as his estranged but equally duplicitous wife Wendy. As Bateman says: "It's a good escalation of everything as far: danger, the business challenges, and--domestically--our relationship."
11. Watchmen
HBO Zack Snyder's Watchmen movie was visually stunning, to be sure. The story, however, was a bit lacking. Is it possible a TV series is the right way to go? We'll soon see, as HBO has tapped Damon Lindelof (LOST, The Leftovers) to helm a small-screen adaptation of Alan Moore's iconic graphic novel. There's huge buzz behind the series, but fans have sort of been left in the dark on what to expect. Will this draw from Moore's comic, the 2012 prequel story, or DC's 2017 sequel, Doomsday Clock?
10. The Haunting of Hill House
Netflix Mike Flanagan (Oculus, Gerald's Game) is one of the best horror directors working today, and 2018 will see him turn his talents to TV. Produced by Steven Spielberg's Amblin TV, this is an adaptation of Shirley Jackson's 1959 novel, which was also turned into the classic 1963 movie The Haunting (the less said about the 1999 remake the better). Annabeth Gish (Sons of Anarchy, The West Wing) stars as Mrs. Dudley, the caretaker of a haunted estate, with roles for Timothy Hutton (All the Money in the World) and Gerald's Game's Carla Gugino. Flanagan has written and directed the whole 10-part series, and this could be one of the year's great horror shows.
9. Legion, Season 2
FX, February 8 Noah Hawley's (Fargo) Legion accomplished some of the most intense, strange, and visually stunning TV moments of 2017. So of course the anticipation is high for Season 2. Not only has David Haller (Dan Stevens) embraced his super-mutant abilities, it seems that the Marvel story will dig deeper into the history of The Shadow King. While nothing has been confirmed, hopes are high that Professor Xavier will grace the X-Men spinoff with his presence.
8. Luther, Series 5
BBC Fans of Luther were both excited and dismayed when the series returned for a two-episode fourth season in 2015. With a busy actor like Idris Elba playing the title role, sometimes schedules can be tight. That said, it looks like Elba has donned his signature tweed coat for another go-round as brilliant detective John Luther. We don't know what sort of gruesome crimes he will be investigating, but one thing is for certain: Idris Elba is at his best when the world is at its worst. Right now, John Luther is the hero we need and deserve.
7. Lost In Space
Netflix, April 13 The iconic '60s sci-fi series is getting a big-budget makeover from Netflix, and the first trailer appeared recently. It looks a lot darker and more dramatic than the original, but the plot remains the same--the Robinson family find themselves stranded on an alien planet after a colonisation mission goes wrong. The cast includes Molly Parker (House of Cards), Toby Stephens (Black Sails), and Parker Posey (The Good Wife), with Game of Thrones and the upcoming Hellboy reboot director Neil Marshall helming several episodes.
6. The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
Netflix Channeling the success of Riverdale, another Archie Comics story was in the works at The CW. But due to their concern of having too many witch shows--the network's Charmed reboot is still on the horizon--the untitled Sabrina the Teenage Witch series was handed over to Netflix. The series will explore the origins of the half-witch, half-mortal as she battles the evil forces that threaten her friends and family. Tonally, Deadline describes the series as being "in the vein of Rosemary's Baby and The Exorcist."
5. Mindhunter Season 2
Netflix This is another Netflix show without a confirmed release date, but star Jonathan Groff has said that the second season of the period crime thriller is to start shooting early this year, so a late 2018 premiere is possible. The first season of Mindhunter showed that producer David Fincher was just at home with small-screen serial killer thrills as he is in movies such as Zodiac and Seven. The balance between a seriously dark crime procedural and a beautifully performed, character-driven drama was exceptional, so hopes are extremely high for Season 2.
4. Marvel's Luke Cage/Daredevil
Netflix, June 22 (Luke Cage) Iron Fist and The Defenders may have cracked the impeccable partnership Netflix cemented with Marvel but that doesn't mean all hope is lost with the comic book giant's street level heroes. While Frank Castle came in to disrupt Marvel's small screen universe, it's clear that Daredevil and Luke Cage still have more work to do.
3. Black Mirror, Season 5
Netflix Netflix has confirmed that Charlie Brooker's hugely acclaimed sci-fi anthology series will return for a fifth season. While the streaming giant is yet to announce a release date, the previous two seasons arrived a year apart, so there's good chance we might see Black Mirror Season 5 before the end of the year. Season 4 was the strongest season to date, so expect the next one to deliver more disturbing but darkly funny predictions about the way technology continues to shape our lives. Can't wait.
2. Castle Rock
Hulu The Stephen King renaissance has shown no sign of slowing down and with Castle Rock, Hulu's aiming to bring the author's story universe to the small-screen. The program's cast features names like Sissy Spacek, Bill Skarsgard, and Melanie Lynskey. But what makes Castle Rock so special is the connected nature of the anthology series itself. Fans should expect to see familiar stories, characters, and themes that originated in the author's previous works. There may be a decent wait before Pennywise the Dancing Clown returns to the big-screen, but that's okay. We're about to head back into Shawshank Prison, and that's pretty dang cool.
1. Westworld, Season 2
HBO, April 22 It's been about a year since Westworld's first run ended on HBO. Throughout a season filled with jaw-dropping twists and gut-punching revelations, the end of Season 1 left fans with so many questions. Hopefully, the answers will be delivered once Season 2 hits the cable giant. While speculation has us wondering if the show will follow the path Michael Crichton's original film took--could Delos introduce audiences to a Medieval and Roman World in 2018?-- there's a surefire bet the new episodes will be rife with chaos. Oh, and Samurais. There's totally going to be Samurais.

Everything from torn rotator cuffs to torn ACLs
The plans for WrestleMania are set, but there still needs to be backup options, just in case. Prepare for the worst. Hope for the best. Because all it takes is one wrong move, and a top Superstar can wind up on the injury list with a muscle tear or a broken bone. Here is the complete list of full-time WWE Superstars who are currently hurt. How does their absence affect WrestleMania 34, and how do they fit into the bigger picture once they're healthy? A few months is a lifetime in WWE; these superstars will need to play some serious catch-up.
14. Big Cass
Injury: Torn ACL Injury came at a bad time for Big Cass. He had dropped the dead weight (Enzo Amore) off his back and was ready for a mid-card push. Unfortunately, in the process of wrapping up his feud against Amore in a Brooklyn street fight, Cass tore his ACL, necessitating surgery. He estimated that he'll be returning to in-ring action shortly after WrestleMania. The main event picture is so crowded that it's unlikely Cass would have been in universal title contention anyway. But as a midcard talent, vying for the Intercontinental title? Absolutely. Hopefully, Cass can pick up where he left off come April. A feud with Braun Strowman would be a great way to do that.
13. Big Show
Injury: Hip damage Big Show was in the best shape of his life. He dropped 60 pounds, and he was showing off his newly found abs on social media. But then, in a steel cage match against Braun Strowman, Big Show tweaked his hip, which required surgery in order to resurface it. Originally, Big Show planned on retiring from wrestling after this latest run. But now, with unfinished business and a perfect comeback story in the making, will Big Show come back one more time for a farewell victory lap? He says he'll be back in the ring soon (no word on his WrestleMania availability), but there's still no official date of return.
12. Paige
Injury: Neck damage This one is just a shame. After two years filled with personal and professional setbacks, Paige was back on WWE television as the head of her own stable, Absolution. But then, tragedy struck. Sasha Banks kicked Paige in the back, and the whiplash aggravated the neck injury that almost ended her career. And this time, WWE doctors weren't going to take any more chances. Paige hasn't wrestled since then (December 2017), and multiple sources have confirmed that her in-ring career is over. Even without her in-ring presence, the Absolution stable is killing it on Raw. It's sad to imagine what could have been, had Paige's health held together.
11. Dean Ambrose
Injury: Right triceps tendon tear Back in December, Dean Ambrose suffered a high grade triceps tear, most likely when Seth Rollins dove onto him outside the ring. He had a successful surgery to repair the damage; Michael Cole announced that Ambrose would be out of action for approximately nine months. That takes him out of WrestleMania entirely; even SummerSlam (2018) is no certainty. Aside from ruining The Shield reunion, Ambrose's injury probably affected the WrestleMania storyline. Jason Jordan replaced Dean Ambrose as a tag team partner. Was this supposed to be an Ambrose vs. Rollins feud in the making? Would they have helped Roman Reigns win at WrestleMania, or backstabbed him at the moment of truth? We'll never know for sure.
10. Jason Jordan
Injury: Neck (disc) damage For weeks, the rumors were that Jason Jordan was working through a neck injury. But then in early February, Jordan underwent surgery to fix a disc in his neck, confirming those rumors. Angle later confirmed on Raw that Jordan would miss WrestleMania. Dean Ambrose was Plan A for Seth Rollins. Jason Jordan was Plan B. What's going to be Plan C? Coming off his 60+ minute performance on the Raw Gauntlet match, he can probably do whatever he wants. Still, this must be frustrating for The Architect, who is out of the main event picture at Mania. He'll have to bide his time.
9. Jeff Hardy
Injury: Torn right rotator cuff Honestly, it's a minor miracle that Jeff Hardy is moving at all. He started wrestling as a teenager, and he's never, not even for an instant, let his hand off the throttle. Hundreds and hundreds of daredevil stunts exact a toll. This time, it's a torn rotator cuff, sustained when Jeff competed in a six-pack challenge back in September. Originally, Jeff was scheduled to return to the ring by May--one month after WrestleMania. But the most recent rumors state that Jeff is training for his in-ring return right now and will make it back in time for WrestleMania 34 if all goes well. It's also been reported that Jeff's surgeon has approved his in-ring return; all he needs now is the green light from WWE. Who knows--maybe a dip in Lake of Reincarnation is what Jeff needs to become Brother Nero, and he can help 'Woken' Matt Hardy revive his floundering gimmick.
8. R-Truth
Injury: Shoulder damage R-Truth is one of the senior members of the WWE roster. He's 46 years old, and he's been with the company, on and off, since 2000. He was engaged in a low-level feud with Goldust and Elias before injuring his shoulder. He had surgery this past October. R-Truth's injury probably did not affect any Mania storylines; he's out of his prime, and he's been putting younger guys over for the past several years. But his comedic timing would be welcome at the big show, even if he doesn't actually compete.
7. Samoa Joe
Injury: Right foot tissue rupture This injury also came at a really bad time. Samoa Joe was being pushed as a main event talent on the same level as Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, and Braun Strowman. He was part of a new type of big man, who was as agile and light-footed as he was powerful. But during a match against Rhyno in January, Joe felt something "pop" in his foot, and it turned out that he sustained a serious foot injury. Not only did he get removed from the Mixed Match Challenge (he was slated to be Bayley's partner), but all his scheduled appearances prior to WrestleMania were cancelled. It looks like he's going to miss the big show as well. Joe is 38 years old. If WWE wants to give him a world title run when he returns, they need to book it quickly because he's not getting any younger.
6. The Brian Kendrick
Injury: Broken orbital bone and nose The GTS is a brutal finisher. Invented by Hideo Itami (and further popularized by CM Punk), it starts with a fireman's carry. The wrestler then drops his opponent, face first, onto a rising knee. If you want to see what happens when this move actually connects, click this link. Itami broke The Brian Kendrick's nose and orbital bone on the December 25 episode of Raw. The estimated recovery time is two months, which means he should be back in time for WrestleMania, provided all goes well. A lot has happened in the cruiserweight division since Kendrick was injured. The former Cruiserweight champion, Enzo Amore, was fired under suspicion of rape. Rich Swann left the company after a domestic abuse incident. And the title is up for grabs in a bracket tournament. Kendrick will come back to a division that's in better shape than when he left it.
5. Noam Dar
Injury: Meniscus tear Noam Dar was one of many cruiserweights whose talents were squandered by poor booking. He was a lackey for Enzo Amore and had little time to define himself as a character. But now that Triple H has taken charge of the division, better days might be ahead. Dar had surgery in December and was projected to be out for five months--slightly past the WrestleMania cutoff point. When Dar gets healthy enough for in-ring action, WWE Creative should hit the reset button on him. Start all over again, and pretend the last year and a half never happened.
4. Alicia Fox
Injury: Broken tailbone Alicia Fox injured herself during rehearsals for the first women's Royal Rumble, and that's the worst part about it. Fox hit her prime during that weird nether-realm between the Women's Revolution and the Divas era. Her participation in the Rumble would have been a great way to acknowledge her underrated contributions. Unfortunately, that didn't come to pass, and now, WrestleMania is too crowded to fit Fox in somewhere. She'll get to be in a multi-woman tag match, at best, if she makes it back to active competition in time.
3. Epico Colon, Primo Colon
Injury: Shoulder damage, Knee damage Epico and Primo have not been consequential since 2012. That they are both on the shelf is neither a factor nor a non-factor. The buzz simply isn't there for either of them. And the current tag team scene is too competitive for them to register, least of all at WrestleMania. There's nothing they need to do once they return other than win. These two men are part a famous wrestling family; all they need is a shot, and they'll probably take it. No more matadors. No more selling timeshares. WWE needs to let the Colons be themselves.
2. Samir Singh
Injury: Torn ACL Samir Singh is a no-go for WrestleMania. He tore his ACL during a spot with Bobby Roode on SmackDown, and he'll be rehabbing his leg for the foreseeable future. Currently, Jinder Mahal has one Singh brother guarding him. And fans barely miss Samir, or even know the difference between Samir and active brother Sunil; they have such shallow characterization that their personalities are impossible to tell apart. When Samir returns, the two brothers should break from Mahal and strike out on their own as a tag team. It's an unlikely path of success. But it's an even more unlikely path if they continue to pin their careers on the Modern Maharaja.
1. Tamina
Injury: Torn rotator cuff Unlike Fox, Tamina managed to wrestle in the Rumble. Then, she went on medical leave for a torn rotator cuff. Her chances of making it to WrestleMania are quite slim. One of the main problems with Tamina is that as physically dominant as she is, her mic skills don't measure up. And that's a problem, since Nia Jax--a more popular, comparable monster--can cut a great promo. When Tamina gets back, she needs to a make strong ally who can talk--a better ally than Lana, for example--if she wants to keep her job.

PlayStation 4 is now more than four years old, and in that time it's amassed a substantial library of games. It was difficult to keep up with all of the quality releases even if you were onboard from day one; for those who have picked up a PS4 late, the number of games now available can be positively overwhelming. You're unlikely to ever play everything PS4 has to offer, but we're here to help you ensure you play some worthwhile games without breaking the bank. As is to be expected from a system that's now several years old, there's a wide array of games that can be picked up for quite cheap. We're highlighting many of the best games that can be had for no more than $20 on the US PlayStation Store. Be sure to let us know your recommendations in the comments below. 2018 is poised to grow the PS4's library even further, with high-profile releases like God of War, Spider-Man, and Red Dead Redemption 2 on the way alongside a variety of lesser-known hidden gems that you should be excited for this year.
Nex Machina
Nex Machina developer Housemarque has been focused almost exclusively on twin-stick shooters for the last decade. Starting with Super Stardust HD and running through games like Resogun and Dead Nation, it's experimented with different spins on the genre. Nex Machina feels like the culmination of those efforts, offering intense, high-octane action that constantly has you analyzing your surroundings and your options for disposing of enemies. It's an incredibly fun and satisfying experience to pick up and play, but it also features a variety of wrinkles and secrets for high-score chasers. Add in the gorgeous, neon-infused visuals, and you've got the finest output of Housemarque to date--which makes it all the more upsetting that the studio has decided to shift gears and go in a different direction. Still, you won't find a better example of its work than Nex Machina. | Chris Pereira
Journey
Plenty of games have stunning graphics, or heart-wrenching stories, or interactivity that stands head and shoulders above other offerings. Journey manages to have all of those and still amounts to more than the sum of its parts. Between traversing glittering sand and soaring to new heights with the help of your mystical scarf, you'll uncover hidden murals that hint at the game's story. For all that it does, Journey is also commendable for the conventions it abandons. The game does away with traditional dialogue and narration, preferring instead to let players interpret the adventure for themselves through sights and sounds. You won't need to experience it alone, though. In most cases you'll share your journey with another player-controlled character who you communicate with only through audible chirps. While the turmoil of accidentally losing your new friend hits hard as the environment becomes more threatening, finding them again and keeping them close in times of hardship is an unforgettable emotional experience. The unmistakable style in developer Thatgamecompany's design colliding with Austin Wintory's enchanting soundtrack makes Journey a unique experience that can't be missed. | Jess McDonell
Sonic Mania
Created by members of the Sonic fan-hack community under Sega's watch, Sonic Mania exudes passion and reverence in its recreation of nostalgic visuals, sounds, and level designs. But the game isn't content with senselessly regurgitating the past; rather, it expands upon the familiar with new ideas of its own and delivers plenty of inventive concepts that diversify and build upon the series' fast-paced level design. Sonic Mania is smart and interpretive in its approach, leveraging the strengths of its design and visuals to craft not only the best Sonic game ever made, but an amazing platforming experience overall. If you've enjoyed Sonic at any point in your life, you owe it to yourself to play Sonic Mania. And even if you're not a longtime fan, the fast-paced platforming on display is a fantastic introduction to Sega's beloved blue blur. | Matt Espineli
Fez
Despite being nearly six years old, Fez is still worth playing today. While it initially presents itself as a 2D game, it quickly reveals a third dimension and unfolds into something truly special as a result. You can rotate the game's seemingly 2D environments in 90-degree increments, which allows you to bring elements from the background into the foreground, often to reveal a hidden path. It's a tricky system to wrap your head around at first, but with a simple selection of puzzles to get you going, you can pick it up in no time. From this point on, Fez pushes you to contort your problem-solving techniques as it escalates to truly complex brain teasers that introduce cryptic symbols to match the ever-more-mysterious atmosphere. It's one of the few truly unique games around, and with the sequel cancelled long ago, it seems that will be the case for the foreseeable future. | Peter Brown
Axiom Verge
Axiom Verge is another take on the Metroidvania style, but it distinguishes itself through its wide variety of weapons and tools--most notably, the Address Disruptor, which affects the environment and each enemy type in different ways. It's also a game with an impressive sense of scale and no shortage of secrets to uncover, encouraging multiple playthroughs. Add in an excellent soundtrack and tantalizing story, and there's a lot to like here. | Chris Pereira
Bloodborne
The beauty of video games is how you're able to set foot in worlds you'd never want to visit in real life. Such is the case with Yharnam, the central locale of From Software's Bloodborne. You're a visitor and a hunter in a land without hope. Practically all its inhabitants are possessed with a zombie-like affliction and they want you dead. Still, every locale is inviting in its own haunting and disturbing ways; the more oppressive the environment, the more engrossing Bloodborne feels. The surrounding European-inspired architecture is as thoroughly pervasive as it is detailed. Between the gothic spires and array of imaginative melee weapons, Bloodborne often feels like an unofficial successor to Castlevania. Its enemies range from spectral maidens to more frighteningly supernatural creatures that bear much of the game's H.P. Lovecraft influence. And even if its gameplay and brutal combat borrows heavily from the studio's marquee series, Dark Souls, Bloodborne still manages to stand on its own. Bloodborne's backstories are less opaque than that of Dark Souls' mysteries, but that doesn't make this PlayStation 4 exclusive any less intriguing. | Miguel Concepcion
Undertale
Undertale watches you. It knows you through your actions. You don't have to hurt anyone, but you can hurt everyone. The consequences are hardly laid bare, but they are always alluded to in this retro-style RPG by independent developer Toby Fox. Undertale is both a culmination of the most chilling creepypasta and the most adorable, lovable characters you could imagine. It's all wrapped into a throwback turn-based RPG that incorporates dialogue trees in combat with elements of the bullet hell style for its combat. One of Undertale's greatest achievements is its ability to portray emotion and frame scenes through writing and an old-school art style. However, the most impactful piece of the puzzle is music: Its soundtrack evokes such a strong emotional response that very few games capture. The cozy, heartwarming jingle that plays in Snowdin town makes you wish you could chill at the local bar Grillby's with its diverse community of monsters. Papyrus' theme is equal parts silly and catchy, perfectly encapsulating the character himself. Hotland's tense, foreboding rhythm gets an electronic remix in a later stage that empowers you to push forward. The list goes on, but the point is that Undertale's masterful use of music becomes inseparable from the story it tells. It's a sort of love letter to Earthbound, but Toby Fox crafted a game that should be respected in its own right. Very few games evoke heartbreak, terror, and joy as powerfully as Undertale in such a short period of time; and in that regard, it's one of the best independent games ever made. | Michael Higham
Overcooked
Multiplayer games that can be played with a single Joy-Con are a real treat--wherever you go with the system, you're able to easily play together with another person. And that's good news for Overcooked, a game that becomes exponentially better when played with at least one other person. What starts out as a relatively tame game where you help each other chop some vegetables and get them served on a plate becomes a frantic rush to put out fires, get ingredients distributed between two moving vehicles, and other ridiculous scenarios. | Chris Pereira
Iconoclasts
There's no shortage of Metroidvania titles out there, but Iconoclasts stands tall as much more than a simple game about exploring the world while solving puzzles and fighting bosses. Sure, you swing a wrench that can interact with objects and whack enemies over the head, but the magic of this game goes far deeper than the tools at your disposal. Iconoclasts is a story about conflict: science vs. religion, nature vs. technology, old vs. young. And that serves as an incredible backdrop for dynamic characters that extend far beyond their 16-bit look. It's worth playing just to see where they--and you, as the mechanic Robin--end up. | Tony Wilson
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
You may have heard that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, the final Metal Gear game to feature the involvement of series creator Hideo Kojima, has flaws. The last chunk of the game involves replaying earlier missions with small tweaks, and certain late-game story content was consigned to a special edition bonus feature. Despite all of that, The Phantom Pain stands as a seminal example of what an open-world action game can be. While still retaining much of what makes a Metal Gear game so distinct, it presents players with a vast open world and the ability to tackle its challenges in many, many ways. The mechanics of Ground Zeroes have been fine-tuned, and you can leverage them in a multitude of ways as you take part in the game's consistently excellent, thrilling missions. Just as enjoyable are the emergent hijinks you'll encounter along the way, and all of this is made better by the consistent progression of building up your own personal army. Although it's undoubtedly an experience best played after playing making your way through the prior games, The Phantom Pain is a game that everyone should ultimately try. It holds up now, even after a few years; all that's changed is the price tag. | Chris Pereira
Celeste
Celeste may look like another pixelated platformer with a youthful protagonist, but it quickly transforms into a brutal, tightly orchestrated gauntlet of death that only the best players can master. It challenges you to traverse spike-lined caverns with a modest selection of skills, with alternate pathways that push your mettle even further as you strive to acquire every last hidden item. You will die hundreds of times, but with quick restarts and a catchy soundtrack, there's never any downtime to wallow in defeat, only a new opportunity to show the game what you're made of. The action and difficulty curve are accompanied by a surprisingly engaging story that adds just the right amount of context to make your arduous journey feel justified, and to solidify Celeste as one of the biggest surprises so far of 2018. | Peter Brown
Shovel Knight
This is admittedly a bit of a cheat, as you're best off buying Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove, which includes all three of the campaigns released so far (and more content to come) for $25. But just $10 will get you a single campaign which is more than worth the price of entry. Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment puts you in the shoes of one of the main game's antagonists, Specter Knight, as he takes his own unique journey through the same levels featured in the original game. As with Plague Knight's campaign, the unique mechanics at play here (like the dash attack) make for a much different experience. You would be best-served by starting with the base Shovel Knight campaign, but whichever version you play, you'll be treated to a modern take on retro platformers that bests many of the classics it draws inspiration from. | Chris Pereira
Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection
If there was one first-party PlayStation 3 series that was deemed essential, Uncharted would be it. The Tomb Raider-inspired mix of treasure hunting, puzzle solving, and gunplay was a fitting match for Naughty Dog's penchant for character-driven action-adventure games. Every installment has it share of large set-piece moments, but these dramatic sections do not overshadow the games' engaging journeys of Nathan Drake and his many collaborators. And even though Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is considered by many as the series' high point, the first and third games are nonetheless rich in delightful archeological discoveries and engrossing battles. Experiencing the first three games remastered on the PlayStation 4 is a no-brainer, especially when Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection was handled by Bluepoint Games, the studio responsible for the recent Shadow of the Colossus remake. Upgrading this trilogy to 60 frames per second alone is enough to command the attention of any Uncharted fan, let alone any fan of the genre. The addition of a photo mode, improved textures, and new Trophies only sweetens the deal. | Miguel Concepcion
Bastion
Supergiant Games' debut, Bastion, set the stage for everything else the developer created. This isometric action RPG tells a gripping story of a world destroyed by a catastrophic event referred to as The Calamity in the city of Caelondia. You control Bastion's protagonist, The Kid, who is led by the charismatic narrator named Rucks in a journey to piece the city back together. Very few survivors are left, and hostile monsters litter Caelondia, which is the impetus to put a varied arsenal of melee and projectile weapons to use. The Bastion acts as a sort of home base that slowly comes together as you progress and collect cores at the end of each level. Rucks' deep, instantly recognizable voice (that of Logan Cunningham) adds a level of grandeur to the story that's superbly supported by a truly remarkable soundtrack (by Darren Korb) that's vaguely Celtic, Western, and trip-hop all at the same time. Bastion's fantastical hand-painted art style (by Jen Zee) breathes life into a world nearly devoid of it, torn apart by a conflict of different cultures. These elements came to be staples of Supergiant's work, and Bastion is still a sterling example of the team's ability to craft a game that's both fun and heartfelt. | Michael Higham
Transistor
Transistor, the follow-up to Bastion, would take many of the striking features of that game (like the hand-painted art style, for one) but twist them for a sci-fi, cyberpunk tale. Red was a singer who had her voice physically stolen in an attack on the city of Cloudbank, and she's the one you control in this unique isometric action RPG. The Transistor, a sword-like weapon that killed a man in the attack, becomes Red's tool for fighting back against an army of robots known as The Process, controlled by an evil collective known as The Camerata. Yes, it has a lot going on, but that's how it is with Supergiant's games. The Transistor glows and speaks; it trapped the consciousness and voice of the man it was used to kill, which means this dead man becomes Red's companion throughout the game, similar to the narrator in Bastion (also voiced by Logan Cunningham). What sets Transistor apart is that it incorporates a layer of strategy on top of the action RPG gameplay. There are countless permutations to Red's movesets since each individual move, or functions, can be mixed with another to create an attack which can be used to make short work of enemies that took over your neon-lit city. You also get to pause the action for a limited timeframe to craft a plan of attack and come up with clever ways to string together functions. Not only does Transistor's soundtrack stand out for its folk-tinged electronica, but it's the focal point for characterization and acts as a driving force from start to finish. Music is at the forefront and Darren Korb's vision for complementing the futuristic world is fully realized, which makes Transistor an absolute joy to play. | Michael Higham
Pyre
Pyre, the latest from Supergiant Games, diverges from the action RPG gameplay the studio is known for. The fantastical, hand-painted art by Jen Zee returns. A western, electronic, trip-hop fusion soundtrack from Darren Korb also makes a comeback. But instead of controlling a single protagonist who destroys the enemies in their path in search of answers, Pyre revolves around a mystical sport that's played in an underworld populated by those who've been exiled from the normal world. You are The Reader, found in Purgatory (where reading is forbidden) by a band of exiles who befriend you. The Rites are rituals of sport that determine your worth, and this is where the meat of the gameplay happens. In a Rite, you assemble a team of three from a pool of allies you meet along the way. You face another team of three and fight for the single orb placed in the contained arena with the objective of dunking or shooting the orb into the other team's goal (or Pyre). Only one player from each team can move at any given moment. Each type of player has a varied skillset that can make the sport easier, depending on your playstyle. It sounds like a bit much at first, but once you get a hang of the flow, there's just nothing quite like it. Many have described it as Rocket League meets Dota meets Transistor. Outside of sick orb dunks is the intriguing visual novel-style story about sacrifice and the ties that bind. | Michael Higham
Jamestown+
Vertical arcade shoot-em-ups typically deal with far-flung futures where an ace pilot is defending Earth from a swarm of technologically advanced aliens. By taking place in an alternate timeline where Mars was colonized by England in the 17th Century, Jamestown immediately sets itself apart from its peers. The unique, tongue-in-cheek setting goes a long way to make the game enjoyable, but it's the excellent gameplay that makes Jamestown easy to recommend. You have multiple attack ships to choose from, each with their own weapon loadouts and special abilities. They are easy to control and feel distinct enough that you won't mind replaying levels to extend your time with the game, all the while combatting cleverly constructed swarms of enemy ships that gradually escalate from level to level. It's not as punishing as most games in its genre, but the progress you make as you inch your way towards the conclusion feels rewarding nonetheless. | Peter Brown
Thimbleweed Park
Point-and-click adventure games have experienced something of a renaissance in recent years, and Thimbleweed Park--from adventure game legends Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick--is a prime example. The X-Files-inspired journey puts you in the role of two FBI agents that bear more than a passing resemblance to the classic TV show as you relive the glory days of adventure games. Playing on any console means dealing with a gamepad-based control scheme (as opposed to the more natural mouse controls on PC), but Switch makes up for this with touchscreen support when played in handheld mode. | Chris Pereira
Thumper
Although it's a game arguably best-suited for VR, Thumper is an incredible experience however you play it. It provides a unique blend of rhythm-based gameplay and action--what the developer calls "rhythm violence"--that provides a far more intense version of the basic mechanics you see in other rhythm games. With an incredible soundtrack and levels well-suited to chasing high scores, Thumper is a game with the potential to stick around on your home screen for a long time. | Chris Pereira
Inside
Playdead games won the admiration of its now-large audience when it released Limbo, a slow-paced puzzle-platformer that relied heavily on the use of light and negative space. For the studio's follow-up, Inside, it delivered yet another somber world to explore. It presents a tale that unfolds effortlessly before your eyes as you advance from one scene to the next, with nary a word from any of its characters. Through the power of inference and suggestion, you realize the infiltration of a malicious organization and bear witness to its sinister deeds. Inside will test your ability to think creatively, but it's the narrative--and the way it's delivered--that makes it a game worth playing. Inside reinforces the notion that, sometimes, less is more. | Peter Brown
Crypt of the NecroDancer
Roguelikes (or at least roguelike elements) have been one of the most popular trends in gaming over the past handful of years, but few have taken as interesting of an approach to the genre as Crypt of the NecroDancer. It tasks players with navigating a dungeon to the beat of the music. Rather than simply move in the direction you wish or attack the enemy that's in your path, you and your enemies' actions are tied directly to the (always excellent) soundtrack. It's essential that you always be doing something--not taking an action at the next beat resets your combo, meaning you'll earn less gold or deal less damage, depending on the items you've acquired. Particularly as the music becomes more fast-paced, this lends a real sense of tension and excitement to every moment: you need to constantly be considering your next action while accounting for how nearby enemies will react to your movements. It's an experience with few points of comparison, but it's nonetheless one that you'll certainly want to try. | Chris Pereira
SteamWorld Dig 2
The first SteamWorld Dig was most notable for its distinct blend of mining mechanics and Metroid-style exploration, but it ended right as it began to come into its own. Its sequel is twice as long and puts that added runtime to good use, as both the story and mechanics are given time to flourish. The game put you in control of a steambot named Dorothy searching for her missing friend, Rusty--the protagonist of the first game. There's a surprising sense of momentum that runs through the adventure; it's as if developer Image & Form sifted the original in a pan, removing its redundancies while expanding upon what made mining treasure and exploring so fun in the first place. The result is a brilliant and varied evolution of the first game that not only expands upon its hybrid formula but presents it in its best light. Where the first game was a diamond in the rough, SteamWorld Dig 2 is a polished jewel. | Matt Espineli

Here's All The New Skins For Overwatch's 27th Character
The newest Overwatch hero, Brigitte, is available now on the game's Public Test Realm. And so are a lot of different skins. In this gallery we're rounding up all the Brigitte skins we've seen so far. As you'll see Brigitte has Classic, Engineer, Carbon Fiber, and other skins available. They all seem to retain Brigitte's same basic look but you'll see that the skins give her outfit new colors and change the look of her weapon. One of the skins puts spinning gears on the middle of her shield. At least one of the skins also puts cosmetic equipment on her, including welding goggles and a tool pouch that goes on her belt. Click through the gallery to see all of the Brigitte skins we've seen so far. Brigitte is a Support-class hero who can heal and provide armor to her allies, hit multiple enemies at once with her flail, and equip a shield. With the use of her Shield Bash ability, she's able to do some notable things, like stun Reinhardt through his shield, stop Reinhardt's Charge, and stun Torbjörn's sentry.

If the trailers for Ready Player One weren't proof enough that this might be the most nostalgia-packed movie of all time, this should do the trick. Warner Bros. has released 12 new posters for the film, each of which takes inspiration from a classic movie. The homages range from Back to the Future to Steve McQueen's Bullitt to The Iron Giant--a movie whose main character has been heavily featured in Ready Player One's promotional campaign. These images are perhaps the best way to sell a movie like this. The story, based on the Ernest Cline novel, is set in a near-future dystopian world where people escape from their overcrowded cities into a virtual world filled with fictional characters, objects, and settings from their favorite pieces of pop culture. Why not take advantage of the pop culture audiences already love to sell them on this escape of a movie? Interestingly, though Steven Spielberg is the director of Ready Player One, none of his movies are represented in the posters--there are titles in which he served as a producer, though. Ready Player One hits theaters on March 29. Take a look at each of the new posters and the movies that inspired in this gallery. Image: Warner Bros.

Rainbow Six Siege's new Operation Chimera update has arrived, bringing new Operators and the limited-time Outbreak mode to the game. It also features some other significant changes to the game, as well as the addition of a new type of loot box called an Outbreak pack that features exclusive weapon skins, uniforms, headgear, and charms. In the images above, we've collected all 50 new items available through Outbreak packs. You'll receive four packs for free just by logging in during the Outbreak event. Beyond that, you'll have to purchase additional ones for 300 R6 Credits ($5 gets you 600 Credits); a few other newly added items are obtained through specific gameplay challenges. Until you've obtained everything available through Outbreak packs, you're guaranteed a new item each time you open one--there are no duplicates. Operation Chimera is a major update for Siege, and its release marks the start of Year 3 for the game. Unlike a typical expansion, it features two Attacker Operators (Lion and Finka) and no new competitive multiplayer map. There are, however, three new maps designed specifically for Outbreak, which is a cooperative mode for up to three players. In it, you play as select Operators as you deal with a zombie-like virus that threatens to wipe out life near the US-Mexican border. Both Outbreak and the Outbreak packs are only available for a limited time, running from now until April 3. It and the broader Chimera update are available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, but be aware that it's encountered some launch issues, including those related to the free Ash Sidewinder Elite skin and the ability to view the collection screen, among other things.
