Bad North is a viking-themed real time tactics roguelite. One of the cooler indie games we saw at E3 2018, Bad North is developed by Plausible Concept. Don't be fooled by its charming art style. This game is very difficult, and losing a commander in battle means they're gone for good. Bad North costs $15/£13.49. The title is coming to Xbox One and PS4 on August 28.
Prison Architect Nintendo Switch Edition is the Switch port of the prison-building simulator already on Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS4, mobile, and PC. This version includes both the All Day and a Night and Psych Ward expansions, and the Escape Mode DLC will be available for purchase later this summer. In our Prison Architect review, we gave the game a 7/10. Prison Architect goes for $30/£25 on the Nintendo Eshop.
Morphies Law is a bizarre size-changing shooter. Shooting enemy players lets you to steal their size until they shrink into nothing. This means players in the lead will be large, easy-to-shoot targets while those who are falling behind can take advantage of their smaller size to weave between firefights. The game is available on the Eshop right now for $20/£16, and will be coming to PC at a later date.
The full list of announced titles coming to Switch can be found below.
Nerial, Devolver Digital, and HBO just announced Reigns: Game of Thrones, the newest entry in the Reigns series. Using similar mechanics from the original title and its sequel Reigns: her Majesty, the next game puts you in control of one of the main characters from Game of Thrones as opposed to a nameless king or queen.
The Reigns titles are swipe 'em up games, so they're played a lot like the Tinder dating app. You're given control of a kingdom to rule and address issues one at a time. Each problem has two possible solutions, and you can make one by swiping to the left and another by swiping right. The series includes hundreds of different problems to solve, people to manage, and disasters to handle--so you keep playing until the consequences of your actions end your rule. Then the game continues with whoever is next in line for the throne, which is typically the child of the previous ruler.
Reigns: Games of Thrones explores possible futures for the characters from the HBO series. You can choose to reign as Cersei Lannister, Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen, Tyrion Lannister, Sansa Stark, or one of the other possible kings or queens from the show before you decide their fate by swiping either right or left. Because the Reigns titles are built on choice, Reigns: Game of Thrones isn't tied to the source material's canon. Prepare to live through entirely new and unique outcomes, such as Cersei rebuilding the Great Sept of Baelor or Sansa Stark marrying Jaime Lannister.
Reigns: Game of Thrones comes to PC and mobile devices this October for $4/£3/€4. While you wait, you can play Reigns: Her Majesty on PC and mobile devices or the original title on PC, mobile devices, and Switch.
DICE has received backlash since the announcement that women would be included in Battlefield 5. There are many who accuse the developer of pursuing an agenda, bending historical accuracy to jump on "the bandwagon" of gender and racial inclusivity. DICE executive producer Aleksander Grondal disagrees, even saying he wishes his team had initially included women in 2016's Battlefield 1.
"I mean, if we were getting on the bandwagon, I created Battlefield 1, and we could've 'jumped on the bandwagon' that time around," Grondal told GamesRadar+. DICE did eventually add female Russian soldiers to Battlefield 1 in the In The Name of the Tsar DLC, but women were not prominently featured in the multiplayer prior.
Grondal continued, "I think it's a shame we didn't [add women], because that perhaps would've been better for us. I don't think it's a bandwagon thing, I think it's about gamers wanting to express themselves in different ways. If you take a look at Battlefield historically, it's been about expressing yourself through gameplay, solving problems the way you want to, and these characters fall perfectly in line with that thinking."
During Gamescom 2018, Bandai Namco revealed a new gameplay trailer for Tira, who's day one DLC for the upcoming SoulCalibur 6. The company also unveiled a new trailer that details the game's second story mode.
In both SoulCalibur 4 and 5, Tira's fighting style was transformed to match how her personality unexpectedly changes. She has two different states, Gloomy and Jolly, with the former allowing her to dish out more powerful attacks at the cost of her own health. Some of her moves allow you to switch Tira's states on the fly, but she can also just change whenever she feels like it or after she's struck by certain attacks. The new trailer suggests Tira maintains this fighting style in SoulCalibur 6, but Bandai Namco hasn't confirmed whether or not that is the case.
SoulCalibur 6's second story mode is called Libra of Souls, and it allows you to play as your own custom character through a single-player campaign. You'll have 16 different races to choose from for your character before customizing how they look, from their body type to facial features. You'll even be able to pick what type of fighting style they specialize in, and choose the armor and weapon that you think best fits that style.
After making your character, you'll fight your way through a unique campaign that pits you against an evil mastermind bent on gathering the Soul Edge shards. Familiar faces from Chronicle of Souls, SoulCalibur 6's main campaign that revisits events from the first game, show up in Libra of Souls to either help or hinder you. Your custom Libra of Souls character will be available to play in both online casual and ranked matches.
SoulCalibur 6 is launching for Xbox One, PS4, and PC on October 19.
Unlike most other retailers that offer games, Amazon doesn't put on official weekly video game sales. But that doesn't mean you can't find a deal at the online store. Whether the gaming deals available now are mostly to price-match other stores' deals or they were whipped up by an algorithm, it doesn't really matter. All that matters is that some great games are available for cheap on Amazon in the US right now. Let's take a look.
Basically, no matter your console of choice, you'll probably find something worth picking up at an appealing price. You can find more Amazon video game discounts listed below.
During Gamescom 2018, the Lego Group teased that an announcement concerning a collaboration between Overwatch and Lego is coming soon. The teaser depicted the outlines of six Lego figures, each stylized after one of Overwatch's heroes.
From left to right, the six figures appear to be Widowmaker, Reinhardt, Genji, Soldier: 76, Mercy, and McCree. Neither the Lego Group or Blizzard would comment further on what the two companies' collaboration might entail, but Blizzard did promise to announce new Overwatch content at Gamescom on Wednesday, August 22. So we might be finding out pretty soon. [Update: Blizzard did not address the new Lego partnership during the Overwatch presentation.]
This isn't Overwatch's first partnership with a toy company. Earlier this year, Hasbro announced that the company "signed a licensing agreement with Blizzard Entertainment to become the global master toy licensee for the Overwatch franchise."
During, Blizzard's Overwatch presentation the company unveiled a new animated short for D.Va, which does a good job of fleshing out the haughty MEKA pilot and teaching people the importance of asking for help. Other than Overwatch, Blizzard has panels and presentations planned for Heroes of the Storm, Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, World of Warcraft, StarCraft, and Diablo.
You can easily keep track of the company's full schedule via the "Blizzard at Gamescom 2018" app, but we've also outlined it below. Times are listed in GMT+2.

Trinket Studios has announced a PS4 port for Battle Chef Brigade. Called Battle Chef Brigade Deluxe, the game comes with a few updates that will be free for whoever already owns the game on Nintendo Switch or PC.
The largest update included in Battle Chef Brigade Deluxe is one that fans have been requesting for a while: split-screen multiplayer. Two new modes, Survival and Free Play, are also being added. You'll be able to play as Ziggy--the undead chef who makes sarcastic quips--too, and you'll be able to create new cooking combination with nine new items. Deluxe also come with an illustration gallery to look through, new maps to play on, and accessibility improvements--such as a color-blind option.
Released in 2017, Battle Chef Brigade attracted a fierce following for managing to mix the mechanics of cooking, puzzle, and hack-and-slash games, and then packaging those features into a charming story about an immature girl growing up to become a young chef. You play as Mina, who wants to become her world's version of a knight, a battle chef. Battle chefs hunt down dangerous creatures and cook them into exquisite dishes for the people. To become one, Mina has to pass a series of cooking competitions that play out like a monstrous version of the TV series Chopped.
🍨🍦🍩🍪 Battle Chef Brigade ✨Deluxe✨ PS4, Switch, and Steam on August 28th! 🍔 Undead Chef Ziggy 🥢 Split-Screen Multiplayer 🍲 Survival Mode 🥗 Free Play 🍭 Illustration Gallery 🍳 9 New Items 🎥@StudioYotta and @TrinketEric 🎧@Fat_Bardhttps://t.co/nI8VD8HeiI
You take control of Mina during the competition and must cook dishes that contain certain ingredients and flavors. You'll have to hunt down the animals and plants you need, return to the kitchen, cook your food, and serve your dish in the time allowed. Between tournament rounds, Mina can speak to her fellow chefs, run errands, and sign up for part-time jobs to earn a paycheck. Money can be spent on different types of pots and pans, ingredients Mina can take with her into competitions, or combat upgrades to make hunting monsters easier.
Battle Chef Brigade can be bought right now on Switch or PC. The Deluxe version won't be available until August 28.
CD Projekt Red has been developing Cyberpunk 2077 for the past six years. Although the developer has stated that there's more work to be done on the action RPG, the game is already playable from start to finish.
In an interview with Engadget, Cyberpunk 2077 producer Richard Borzymowski said the game still doesn't have all of its assets, and the fixes for the bugs that were discovered in playtesting haven't been implemented yet. However, you can play through the entire game and see the story unfold, which Borzymowski says is important for finishing the game's development. "[Playing through the game] gives you the answers to all of your doubts," he said. "It just feels great."
Cyberpunk 2077 just had a big showing at Gamescom 2018. CD Projekt Red released new screens of the RPG that provide greater context for the game's world and also tease a mystery for people to solve. Prior to that, we were able to sit down with Borzymowski and delve into Cyberpunk 2077's gameplay, as well as the title's emphasis on choice and personal freedom.
CD Project Red has been keeping most details concerning Cyberpunk 2077 close to the chest, but what we've seen so far has left us excited about the game. Cyberpunk 2077 doesn't have a release window yet, but we know the game is coming to Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
By Anonymous on Aug 24, 2018 11:23 pm We went hands on with Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice at Gamesom 2018. Tamoor and Lucy chat about how it's a challenging new alternative to the Dark Souls formula. From Software's new title will be released on PS4, Xbox One, and PC on March 22nd 2019.
By Anonymous on Aug 24, 2018 11:18 pm In what's been the busiest Gamecom in recent memory, Lucy and Tamoor talk about their highlights of the show, including Devil May Cry 5, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, The Dark Pictures Anthology, and Cyberpunk 2077.
It took a little longer than usual, but a new set of weekly challenges is now available in Fortnite, whether you're playing on PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, or mobile. As has been the case this entire season, Week 7's challenges are divided up into two categories--those available to all players and those exclusive to Battle Pass owners--and they run the gamut from straightforward tasks to some that require a bit more legwork.
The trickiest of the bunch this week is to follow the treasure map found in Dusty Divot. The map in question is located in one of the buildings on the western side of the area, but you don't need to actually find it in-game in order to complete the challenge; if you already know where it leads to, you can simply head to that location and claim the Battle Star. In this case, the map points you to a trio of trees just past the large stone head located northwest of Dusty Divot's warehouse.
To get the Battle Star, simply drop in the aforementioned area at the start of a match and you'll see it waiting to be collected in the middle of the three trees. If you need help finding its precise location, we've put together the video above showing you exactly where to go to find the Battle Star. You can also check out the screenshots and maps below for a closer look at where the Battle Star is hidden.
The other two tasks labeled as Hard this week are both elimination challenges. One has you scoring three eliminations with an SMG, while the other challenges you with eliminating three opponents in Lazy Links. Completing these is simply a matter of picking up the right weapon--or in the case of the latter, heading to the right area--and trying to rack up the requisite kills. Similarly, the challenge to deal damage to opponents' structures with Remote Explosives is fairly straightforward and simply requires you to use the appropriate weapons to destroy other players' structures.
Beyond that, you'll have to visit the center of four named locations within a single match to complete its corresponding challenge. The remaining two missions both involve searching loot containers. One has you searching three Supply Drops, while the other is a multi-step challenge that leads you to five different treasure chests scattered around the map.
You can find the full list of Week 7 challenges below. You'll have until the end of the season next month to complete them and unlock the Fortnite Season 5 Battle Pass rewards. If you still need help completing any of the earlier tasks, you can find guides for each previous week in our complete Season 5 challenge roundup.
Fortnite Season 5, Week 7 Challenges
Free
Visit the center of named locations in a single match (4) -- 5 Battle Stars
Search Supply Drops (3) -- 5 Battle Stars
Hard: SMG eliminations (3) -- 10 Battle Stars
Battle Pass
Deal damage to opponents' structures with Remote Explosives (8,000) -- 5 Battle Stars
Stage 1: Search a Chest in Pleasant Park (1) -- 1 Battle Star
Hard: Follow the treasure map found in Dusty Divot -- 10 Battle Stars
Epic Games has launched a new update, v5.30, for Fortnite. The patch has arrived on all platforms--PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and mobile--and it introduces new items to both Battle Royale and Save the World modes, along with an assortment of bug fixes and other improvements. And with it live, we finally have the Week 7 challenges. [Update: Additionally, another update--v5.30.1--has been released to roll back the controversial controller aiming changes mentioned below.]
On the Battle Royale side, Epic has introduced the previously teased Rift-to-Go. As its name suggests, this Epic rarity item is a portable rift that you can use to warp into the air and skydive back down. The rifts will last for 10 seconds once they've been activated, so other players will also have a brief window of time to jump into them.
The map has changed, as Risky Reels is now home to a fan film you can watch. More significantly, Tomato Town has been replaced by Tomato Temple, where you'll find a large pyramid in place of the old restaurant. There are also reportedly lightning strikes happening around the map.
Epic has also tweaked a handful of other weapons in Battle Royale. Now, Clingers will only detonate once their timer is up, while the Double Barrel Shotgun's spread has been reduced by 15% when crouching. Epic has also slightly decreased the equip time of the Pump Shotgun and increased the max stack size of Impulse Grenades by one. Additionally, changes have been made to controller sensitivity that have proven problematic; Epic is now trying to roll them back. And, in a more delightful change, you can now thank the bus driver.
Beyond that, the latest update marks the start of a new limited-time mode called Score Royale. This mode has players scrambling to be the first to surpass the designated high score, and they'll earn points by collecting coins, acquiring loot, and eliminating other players. The storm circle at the start of the match is also larger than normal, while the late-game circles close in more rapidly.
On the Save the World side, Epic has added the Bundlebuss Assault Rifle to the Weekly Store. This powerful new gun with a large magazine will only be available from August 23-29. A new Horde Weekly Challenge is also now available to take on.
You can find the full patch notes for update 5.30 on the Fortnite website. This week's batch of challenges will arrive a little later than usual, rolling out on Friday, August 24, instead of on Thursday like they normally do. In the meantime, you can find guides for all the missions that are currently available in our complete Season 5 challenge guide.
Ah, September. That wonderful month when half of us begin our struggle of going back to school. At least Netflix has a bunch of new movies, TV shows, and original series for those weekend binge sessions. There's a lot of new goodies this month, although we're losing quite a few August add-ons as well.
The big addition in September is Black Panther, the Marvel superhero movie that took the world by storm this past February. If you happened to miss out on this celebration of African culture--which we described as "a top tier Marvel movie with all the humor, style, action, passion, and fun that the MCU has come to embody" in our Black Panther review--then now's your chance. Other film highlights coming in September are Groundhog Day, Scarface, Bruce Almighty, The Breakfast Club, Lilo & Stitch, The Emperor's New Groove, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and Netflix exclusive Next Gen.
The list of new TV shows isn't as impressively large, but there are a few stellar options being added. Both Bojack Horseman and Stranger Things are getting new seasons. If you like staying appraised of everything going on in the MCU, Iron Fist is getting its second season.
If animation is your thing, new anime series Dragon Pilot: Hisone and Masotan--about a rookie air force pilot who finds herself being chosen as the destined rider for an actual dragon--and animated series The Dragon Prince--which is created by the same folks behind Avatar: The Last Airbender--debut on Netflix this September.
Of the movies and TV shows being removed, Nolan's Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are the two noticeable standouts. If you want to watch either movie again, do so soon before they're gone for good.

Unless you've been avoiding any of the new story-centric trailers for Destiny 2's upcoming Forsaken DLC expansion, you know Cayde-6 is in a bad way. A new trailer for Forsaken that debuted at Gamescom 2018 has revealed exactly what precipitated our previous look at Cayde's apparent final moments. And if Destiny's most interesting character has to go out, at least he's doing so like a badass.
Created in collaboration with Blur Studio, the trailer shows Cayde fighting off numerous enemies who have escaped the Prison of Elders. While he's often used as the comic relief (thanks to the excellent voice acting of Nathan Fillion, who has been replaced), here he's fighting for his life. And while he holds his own for a while, his Ghost is ultimately destroyed and he finds himself on death's door.
We'll have to wait for Forsaken to find out exactly how things play out from here and if Bungie has some kind of swerve up its sleeve. The DLC will bring much more than just a possible conclusion to the tale of Cayde; this is the biggest expansion to date, appearing to be on par with the original Destiny's acclaimed Taken King DLC. It includes new superclasses and Supers, weapons and gear, locations, and more.
Another big component of Forsaken is Gambit, a hybrid PvP/PvE mode that was revealed back at E3. Those eager to try it fortunately won't have to wait to do so, as a limited-time free trial will be held just ahead of Forsaken's launch. PS4, Xbox One, and PC players who own the game will be able to jump into Gambit on September 1 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM BST until the same time on September 2.
Forsaken releases on September 4. Unlike the first two DLC expansions, it's not included in the original Expansion Pass. You can read more in our Forsaken pre-order guide.
