A new month is now upon us, and The Pokemon Company is continuing its Year of Legendary Pokemon campaign with another pair of free Legendaries for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. During September, players will be able to claim one of the two Eon Pokemon from Ruby and Sapphire, Latios and Latias, but as usual, the way to get your hands on them will vary by region. Once again, those who live in the US will need to go to a participating retailer to pick up a free download code for the Legendaries. This time, the code will be distributed at Best Buy stores around the country from September 2-29. Players in Europe and Australia, meanwhile, will be able to download the Legendaries directly from the Nintendo Network between September 1-23. As usual, the Pokemon you receive will depend on which version you're playing. You can claim the Legendaries in any seventh-generation Pokemon game, but there's an added incentive to redeem them in the Ultra titles; not only will the Legendaries come at higher levels and know different moves, they'll be equipped with a Gold Bottle Cap, a rare item that can be exchanged to Hyper Train a Pokemon. You can see their movesets and other details below. Pokemon Ultra Sun - Latias -- Level 100 (w/Gold Bottle Cap)
- Mist Ball
- Psychic
- Draco Meteor
- Tailwind
Pokemon Sun - Latias -- Level 60
- Mist Ball
- Dragon Pulse
- Psycho Shift
- Wish
Pokemon Ultra Moon - Latios -- Level 100 (w/Gold Bottle Cap)
- Luster Purge
- Psychic
- Draco Meteor
- Tailwind
Pokemon Moon - Latios -- Level 60
- Luster Purge
- Dragon Pulse
- Psycho Shift
- Dragon Breath
To get the Legendary, select Mystery Gift from the main menu and choose the option to receive your gift with a code/password. Enter the download code you picked up and the Pokemon will be downloaded into your game. (Players in Europe and Australia, meanwhile, will simply need to select the option to receive their gift via the internet.) Once those steps have been completed, you'll be able to pick your Legendary up from the deliveryman waiting inside any Pokemon Center around Alola. You also still have time to redeem your download code for August's free Legendaries, Groudon and Kyogre. If you still haven't picked one up, however, you're out of luck, as codes for the Ruby and Sapphire cover monsters were only being given away from GameStop stores until August 26. You can see all of the other free Pokemon available for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon right now in our roundup.

The hugely popular romantic comedy Crazy Rich Asians continued its reign at the top of the box office chart over the Labor Day weekend. The movie remained at No.1 in its third week since release and crossed the $100 million mark in the US to take an estimated total of $117 million to date. Worldwide the movie has made $139 million so far, from a production budget of just $30 million. The big budget shark thriller The Meg remained in second place, with an estimated $10.4 million weekend take. Mission Impossible: Fallout continues to do impressive business and actually rose back up the chart, moving up one place to No.4. With a total US gross of $206.3 million to date, Fallout is already the third biggest movie in the series, but with only $9 million between Fallout and Mission Impossible II's total gross, it might yet emerge as the most successful. The highest new entry in the top 10 was the acclaimed thriller Searching, which expanded the number of theaters it is playing in and rose from No.22 to No.4. The week's biggest new release was the historical thriller Operation Finale, which features Star Wars' Oscar Issac and made an estimated $6.01 in its first three days. The bottom half of the box office Top 10 consisted of titles that have stuck around for a few weeks, including the puppet comedy The Happytime Murders, the adventure movie Alpha, and Spike Lee's BlackKklansman. This Friday sees the release of the Conjuring spin-off The Nun and the action thriller Peppermint, with The Predator following a week later, so expect plenty of change in the chart over the next couple of weeks. You can see the full Top 10 list for the August 31-September 2 US box office below, as compiled by Box Office Mojo. US/Canada Box Office For August 24-26: - Crazy Rich Asians – $21.10 million
- The Meg– $10.05 million
- Mission Impossible: Fallout – $7.03 million
- Searching– $6.07 million
- Operation Finale – $6.01 million
- Disney's Christopher Robin – $5.17 million
- Alpha – $4.5 million
- The Happytime Murders – $4.41 million
- BlacKkKlansman – $4.17 million

Sony has released a short video teasing the first DLC for Marvel's Spider-Man, the upcoming open-world action game developed by Insomniac Games exclusively for the PS4. The video, which you can watch above, offers the first look at Felicia Hardy, better known as Black Cat, sometimes-villain and love interest for Spider-Man. The teaser shows Felicia inviting Spidey to chase and capture her, and we get a glimpse at a sequence where the web-slinger is running along the side of a moving train. The first DLC for Marvel's Spider-Man is called "The Heist" and will be available from October 23. "As you play the base game, you'll realize that Felicia Hardy, aka Black Cat, is back in town and she's leaving clues around town to toy with Spider-Man," James Stevenson, community director at Insomniac, previously explained. "In Marvel's Spider-Man: The Heist, she finally reveals herself. Featuring new missions and challenges, as well as a brand new faction of enemies and three additional suits to unlock." This DLC is chapter one in a three-part series that, as a whole, Insomniac is referring to as "The City That Never Sleeps." The second DLC chapter is called "Turf Wars" and launches in November. The third part of the series is titled "Silver Lining" and is set to arrive in December. A bundle that has all three chapters is available now on the US PlayStation Store for $25. However, individual chapters can also be purchased for $10 each when they're released. A Digital Deluxe version of the game is also available for $80/£65, and it has the full game as well as all the DLC. Discussing game length, Stevenson previously confirmed how long Spider-Man takes to complete, saying it's around 20 hours for the main campaign and side-quests on the default difficulty. However, those who want to be completionists will spend "a lot longer" in the game. Spider-Man launches on September 7 and reviews will be published on September 4 at 7:00 AM PT / 10:00 AM ET.

We're now well into the second half of 2018, but there's loads of great TV 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 more offerings from Marvel and DC (Daredevil, Titans, The CW's Arrow-verse), reworkings of classic and contemporary sci-fi and horror properties (The Haunting of Hill House, The Purge), long-running favorites (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Doctor Who, The Walking Dead) and a handful of intriguing new titles (Maniac, Nightflyers). So here's the biggest TV shows to watch over the rest of the year...
The Purge
Syfy, September 4 The Purge is one of the most successful horror franchises of recent years--the three movies to date have made more than $319 million worldwide on modest budgets, and the fourth movie is set to hit theatres in July. But if that weren't enough, there's also a 10-episode TV show on the way. It's being produced for Syfy and will be overseen by franchise creator James DeMonaco, who also wrote and directed the first three films. It's set once more in a dystopian future where the annual Purge allows citizens to get all their violent, criminal impulses out, and according to early reports, will focus on a Marine who returns home to protect his sister on Purge Night. There's no premiere date yet, but it was recently announced The People v. O. J. Simpson director Anthony Hemingway will helm the first episode, so there's a good chance we might see it before the year is out.
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Season 13
FXX, September 5 It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia is on course to become the joint longest-running live-action comedy in American TV history--it's already been renewed for a 14th season, which will see it tie with the '50s classic Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet. But before we get to that, we have Season 13, which premieres in September. This is the first season since Glenn Howerton, who plays Dennis, left the main cast (although he is expected to reappear at some point in this season). The rest of the gang are still there though, including Mac (Rob McElhenney), Charlie (Charlie Day), Dee (Kaitlin Olson) and Frank (Danny DeVito), so expect another darkly funny season of scheming, lying, and general bad behaviour for the staff of Paddy's Pub.
Iron Fist
Netflix, September 7 After impressive early seasons for Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage, Netflix's roster of Marvel shows came a bit unstuck last year with the critically-panned first season of Iron Fist. Hopes are high that the upcoming Season 2 can deliver on the promise of a kung fu-themed superhero show by actually giving us some decent action and a compelling plot. To be fair to Marvel, they seem to recognize that Season 1 didn't work, with Marvel TV boss Jeph Loeb telling fans at the recent San Diego Comic-Con that the makers planned to "up their game" when it comes to fight choreography in Season 2. The show sees Finn Jones and Jessica Henwick back as Danny Rand and Colleen Wing, and they will be joined this time by Luke Cage's Simone Messick as Misty Knight and Alice Eve as the villainous Typhoid Mary. We'll find out in September if they've got it right this time.
American Horror Story: Apocalypse
FX, September 12 Nip/Tuck might have brought awards, and Glee might have a huge mainstream audience, but for many viewers, American Horror Story is Ryan Murphy's greatest show. The eighth season of the anthology horror series premieres on September 12, with the subtitle Apocalypse. Many actors from the previous seasons return, including Sarah Paulson, Kathy Bates, Billie Lourd, Jessica Lange, Cheyenne Jackson, Billy Eichner, and rock legend Stevie Nicks. Murphy has described this as the season where the AHS mythology "explodes", with dozens of characters from previous seasons appearing and the seemingly unrelated plots connected. Specific story details are still under wraps, but at a recent Television Critics Association panel, producer Alexis Martin Woodall stated that the show "begins with the end of the world. It starts in the real world. It's very tangible, and it's a familiar panic."
Maniac
Netflix, September 21 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.
The Good Place, Season 3
NBC, September 27 One of the funniest, smartest sitcoms returns this month. Created by Parks & Recreation's Michael Schur, this hilarious look at the afterlife mixes warm, witty storytelling with ambitious philosophical concepts. Season 2 ended with all four of the main human characters returning to the living world, with their memories wiped and a second chance to live their lives. Quite how their stories will intersect and how Ted Danson's morally-flexible immortal Michael will figure remains to be seen, but it's sure to stimulate both the heart and the brain.
Big Mouth, Season 2
Netflix, October 5 Netflix's uproariously funny animated show looking at the trials of adolescence is back for a second season in October. The show is co-created by The League's Nick Kroll, who provides the voice for a fictionalised seventh grade version of himself as he navigates the nightmares of parents, girls, and puberty. The show's gimmick is the foul-mouthed hormone monsters Maurice and Connie (voiced by Kroll and SNL's Maya Rudolph), who appear throughout, occasionally helping but mostly hindering Nick and his friends.
Star Wars Resistance
Disney XD, October 7 The hugely popular Star Wars Rebels ended back in March, but fans of Disney's animated Star Wars output won't have long to wait for the next series. Star Wars Resistance has been created by Dave Filoni, the man behind both Rebels and The Clone Wars, so we know it's in good hands. This show is set before the events of the 2015 movie, The Force Awakens, and will focus on a young pilot named Kazuda Xiono, who is recruited by the Resistance and tasked with a top-secret mission to spy on the growing threat of the First Order. As well as a host of new characters, fans can expect appearances from some of the recent Star Wars movie cast members, such as Oscar Isaac (as Poe Dameron) and Gwendoline Christie (as Captain Phasma), plus droid favorite BB-8.
The Haunting of Hill House
Netflix, October 12 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.
Titans
DC Universe, October 12 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 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.
The Conners
ABC, October 16 The massive success of ABC's Roseanne revival was quickly overshadowed by the actions of its famous star, when a racist tweet by Roseanne Barr's led the network to cancel plans for Season 2. But last week, it was confirmed that the cast (minus Barr) will return for a spin-off show The Conners. Season 1 will premiere in the fall, taking Roseanne's 8 PM Thursday slot, and will run to 10 episodes. It's currently unknown how the show will address Barr's absence, but fans of this much-loved working classic sitcom family will have much to look forward to when Sara Gilbert, John Goodman, Laurie Metcalfe, and company return to screens.
The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
Netflix, October 26 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."
Castlevania, Season 2
Netflix, October 26 Season 1 of Netflix's animated gothic fantasy Castlevania premiered in 2017 and has became one of the streaming service's most acclaimed new shows. Season 2 of the video game adaptation was initially rumored for this summer, but it has now been confirmed that it will debut in October and will run for eight episodes. Not only that, but actor Richard Armitage has also revealed that a third season is in the works.
The Walking Dead Season 9
AMC, October 31 While much has been written about The Walking Dead's falling ratings, it remains a hugely popular show, so don't expect it to go anywhere any time soon. The zombie drama returns later this year for its ninth season under new showrunner Angela Kang. Her predecessor Scott Gimple remains involved as AMC's chief content officer, and last month, he told Variety that Season 9 would see the show "evolve in a huge way." Could this mean the two-year time jump that occurred at the same point in the comic books? We'll find out in the fall.
Doctor Who Season 11
BBC, October It's always exciting when a new actor takes on the role as the iconic Timelord, but the debut of the thirteenth doctor this October is a really big deal. Jodie Whittaker replaces Peter Capaldi and is the first woman to play the Doctor. Whittaker had a brief appearance at the end of the recent Christmas Special, but fans will have to wait until October to see how her portrayal differs from previous incarnations. There's a new showrunner too, as Broadchurch's Chris Chibnall succeeds Steven Moffat. Finally, the Doctor's assistant is to be played by comedian Bradley Walsh.
Legends Of Tomorrow, Season 4
The CW, Fall The CW's roster of DC shows continues to go from strength to strength. Its most addition was the hugely entertaining Black Lightning, while Arrow, The Flash, and Supergirl all remain extremely popular. Season 4 of Legends Of Tomorrow arrives in the Fall, and with Netflix's Defenders proving to be a boring disappointment, it remains the one TV superhero team-up to watch. Focusing on heroes such as White Canary, Atom, Heat Wave, Vixen, and Steel, this year the team will be join by John Constantine, who is played once more by Matt Ryan. Ryan previously played the character in the now-cancelled show Constantine, as well as in episodes of Arrow and last year's animated movie Justice League Dark. In short, he's really good at playing one of DC's coolest, edgiest heroes, and is a welcome addition to Legends of Tomorrow.
Nightflyers
Syfy Long before he created the world of Game of Thrones, author George RR Martin wrote the short novel Nightflyers, a sci-fi horror story about a group of scientists who embark on a mission into deepest space to make contact with alien life. The story was adapted into a movie in 1987 and has now been turned into a new TV show by SyFy. This is one of the network's biggest productions to date, and the first trailer suggests that it will be as much a horror story as a space adventure. Boardwalk Empire's Gretchen Mol stars.
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.
Daredevil, Season 3
Netflix Although the third season of Netflix's Daredevil series is yet to be given a premiere date, it is still expected this year. A trailer was revealed at San Diego Comic-Con back in July, where Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos confirmed that we'd see it in 2018. It's been well over two years since Season 2, in which time we've had several other connected shows set within the MCU version of New York--some have been great (The Punisher), others less so (Iron Fist). But hopes are high for the return of Matt Murdock, particularly because the villainous Wilson Fisk is making his return. Actor Vincent D'Onofrio helped create one of the most interesting and complex villains in the entire Marvel universe, and it is rumored that Season 3 will be an adaptation of Frank Miller's classic Born Again series from the '80s Daredevil comic book.
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.
The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance
Netflix It's been more than a year since this prequel to Jim Henson's classic '80s fantasy movie The Dark Crystal was first announced via this teaser, and while Netflix rarely announces release dates very far in advance, there's a good chance we might see it in 2018. We know that the show will consist of 10 episodes and will be overseen by Louis Leterrier, who is best known for directing Now You See Me and Marvel's The Incredible Hulk. While the original 1982 movie was only moderately successful at the time, it has gained a considerable cult following over the years, and with Netflix's deep pockets we can expect something lavish and highly imaginative.
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.
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.
New Warriors
TBC While the Marvel Cinematic Universe is highly focused and tightly controlled, the same can't be said for its TV counterparts. Shows like Daredevil, Luke Cage, Runaways, Agents of SHIELD, and Cloak and Dagger are all technically part of the MCU too, but you'd hardly know it from the wildly different tones, styles, and general lack of references to each other. But many of these shows are great (let's forgot Inhumans ever happened), and they will soon be joined New Warriors. The offbeat superhero team includes Squirrel Girl, Mister Immortal, Speedball, and Microbe, and it's been described as much more of a comedy than other Marvel shows. New Warriors was originally set to premiere this year on Freeform, but despite the fact that the pilot reportedly test very well the network dropped in due to "programming issues." It's currently being shopped around other networks by ABC, so hopefully, we'll see it soon.

The Shield are back together again. And hopefully, not for much longer. A year ago, this would have been interesting, but that ship has sailed. On the August 20 episode of Raw, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose hit the ring dressed all in black, old music pumping over the speakers, and saved Roman Reigns. Braun Strowman was about to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase. It was a guaranteed title shot that, given Reigns' weakened state, would have almost certainly succeeded. Instead, The Shield--Ambrose, Rollins, and Reigns--ganged up on Strowman, putting him through the announcer table with their patented Triple Power Bomb. The following week, there was another Shield reunion, and this time, it was less successful. Rollins and Ambrose helped Reigns again, but this time, they came out individually, wearing their personalized gear and accompanied by no music. It was very brave and very, very dumb. Just from the way this segment was shot and edited, it seems WWE is making a point: The Shield only works when Ambrose, Rollins, and Reigns are working together, communicating, and cooperating. If they hope to protect Reigns' Universal Championship reign, they'll have to put aside their individual concerns for the sake of the brotherhood. All three members, Reigns included, have better things to do and bigger problems to worry about. Reigns was proclaimed WWE Universal Champion at Summerslam in August, when he beat Brock Lesnar to win the title. This should have happened at Wrestlemania 34, the natural place to conclude Reigns' character arc. It was long overdue, but apparently, that was the price of getting fans to cheer for Reigns. Was WWE dragging out Lesnar's title reign to deliberately bore and anger the fans? It seemed that the company was willing to damage their flagship show to get Reigns over; even the biggest Reigns hater would cheer for Reigns to win, if only to get it over with. So much effort--too much effort--has gone into making this happen. And now that Reigns is the top guy, both literally and figuratively, he needs to stand on his own and win on his own. Reigns needs gritty, stiff, and clean fights. Strowman is an excellent opponent; these two have a high profile history together. But if Reigns doesn't take down Strowman by himself, without the help of his friends, no one will respect it. Reigns is supposed to be a babyface, after all. The WWE Universal Championship deserves better treatment. Its lineage, thus far, has been a mess. The first guy to win it, Finn Balor, dropped it after less than 24 hours due to injury. The second guy to win it, Kevin Owens, was literally handed the belt by Triple H, and then cheated to retain it. Then Goldberg won it, thanks to a Chris Jericho musical cue that distracted Owens. That set up a marquee match between Goldberg and Lesnar at Wrestlemania 33. And then, Lesnar held the title for over a year while making part-time appearances on television. Eleven title defenses in 500 days is inexcusable. The belt only matters as much as the people who hold it and how they hold it. And right now, the Universal title doesn't mean much. There needs to be one guy who can hold the belt full-time, without any drama or screwjob finishes. Reigns would be an excellent candidate to give the belt some gravitas. But if he needs to cheat 3-on-1 to do so, it will remain meaningless. One can see the appeal of putting Reigns with The Shield; it's a guaranteed, positive audience response. But it's a short-term gain for a long-term loss. Reigns doesn't have a natural "gift of gab" like The Rock, even though his back-and-forth exchange with John Cena last year proved he has untapped potential. It'll be harder for him to reach that tipping point when his buddies are compensating for his weaknesses. The motivating factor to raise his game is gone; instead, he reverts to his comfort zone and to a character he once was. Meanwhile, Rollins puts his singles push on hold, even though he's hotter now than he's been in years and is arguably the most popular babyface on Raw. And Ambrose just came back from injury; is he just going to be Reigns' snarling bodyguard for the next month? All three men are reliving their past glories, and at this rate, they'll never move past them. Three unique personalities, all subjugated under a single monotonous identity, was fine when they first debuted on the main roster, and their characters still needed to grow. Now, it's just arrested development. WWE builds it own mythology. Young fans delve into the extensive history of the company, now readily available on the WWE Network. Adult fans reminisce about their now legendary childhood heroes. But this new Shield reunion is too much too soon. They broke less than five years ago; fans can't be this nostalgic for something so recent. Ironically, this stable needs to go away, and stay away, for it to matter again.

Ever since director James Gunn was fired by Disney from Guardian of the Galaxy Vol.3 back in July, Dave Bautista has been very vocal about his unhappiness with the situation. In a new interview, the actor, who plays Drax in the blockbuster Marvel movies, has not only restated that he might not return for Vol.3, but has also revealed that the movie is now on hold. During an interview on the British talkshow The Jonathan Ross Show, Bautista was asked about whether the rumors that he might not appear in Vol.3 were true. "There's a bit of an issue," he said. "It's a bitter-sweet conversation. No, it's a bitter-bitter conversation because I'm not really happy with what they've done with James Gunn. They're putting the movie off. It's on hold indefinitely. To be honest with you I don't know if I want to work for Disney." Ross went on to state that Bautista's frankness about the situation was unusual. "I've been very vocal about the way I feel," Bautista said. "I'm not afraid to admit the way I feel. I don't think I'm your typical Hollywood guy." Gunn was fired after old tweets that saw the director joking about topics such as pedophilia and rape resurfaced online. The rest of the Guardians cast subsequently issued a joint statement in which they offered Gunn their support, but stopped short of demanding that he be rehired. Last month, star Chris Pratt described it as a "complicated situation" and stated that "we just want to move forward and do what's right and be the best people we can be." It had been rumored that Marvel were pushing Disney to rehire Gunn. However, a recent report stated that although Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn met with Gunn, the studio is refusing to budge on the issue. While Guardian of the Galaxy Vol.3 has never officially been given a release date, it was reportedly set to start production in February 2019 ahead of a 2020 release.

You and three others must work together to find the safes, extract the valuable item inside (it's a jewel llama, of course), and then get to the extraction zone without dying. You're doing this all the while fighting to stay alive against other teams of players. As for the Grappler gun, it works just like you'd imagine; you fire it at a wall and it sends you soaring in that direction. The new mode and the Grappler gun look like they could change things up significantly. The original story is below. The next big Fortnite update will add a new event called High Stakes. This will add one new outfit and four masks (pictured below), as well as a brand-new Limited Time Mode called "Getaway." Developer Epic Games will show off the new mode for the first time during a PAX West stream on Twitch today, September 2. You can watch the stream through the embed below. The gameplay reveal is slated for 6 PM PT / 9 PM ET / 11 AM Sydney (September 3), so check back soon to watch the event.
Fortnite's High Stakes event also includes a series of challenges to complete and be able to get their hands on the new Wild Card skin. The High Stakes event appears to be themed around heists and gambling. In other Fortnite news, Epic has added really groovy outfits and gear to the game in the form of the Flower Power set.
