Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order, will be available for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on November 15, 2019, developer Respawn Entertainment has announced. The date was revealed during the game's panel at this year's Star Wars Celebration event, where it was also confirmed that the PC version would be exclusively available on Origin.
Jedi Fallen Order was officially confirmed during E3 2018, when Respawn's Vince Zampella revealed the title and teased that it would be set between Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV: A New Hope. We now know that players will take control of a young Padawan that escaped Order 66, the Emperor's decree to wipe out all Jedi--even the younglings in training. You can read more about Jedi Fallen Order's story here.
Although Respawn is known primarily for developing first-person shooters such as the Titanfall series and, more recently, the battle royale hit Apex Legends, Jedi Fallen Order is a is more focused on melee combat. In 2014, God of War 3 director Stig Asmussen joined Respawn, bringing some third-person action expertise to the studio.
Prior to the reveal at Star Wars Celebration, artwork for Jedi Fallen Order was leaked by Amazon. The retailer listed a t-shirt which featured an image of the main character wielding a blue lightsaber and his droid companion. In the was a downed vessel that looks to be a Republic-era Star Destroyer.
Star Wars Celebration also yielded a new trailer for the next movie in the beloved franchise. During the show it was confirmed to be called Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker, and you can watch the first trailer here. We've also got a comprehensive round-up on everything happening at Star Wars Celebration that'll keep you up to date with the latest goings-on.
Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order follows the story of a Padawan that escaped the Emperor's ruthless extermination of the Jedi, and developer Respawn Entertainment has brought in actor Cameron Monaghan to portray its main character, Cal Kestis. Fans were introduced to Kestis and Monaghan during the Jedi Fallen Order panel held at this year's Star Wars Celebration.
Monaghan is known for starring as Ian Gallagher in the TV series Shameless and, more recently, has made a name for himself playing Jerome and Jeremiah Valeska, a version of DC's iconic villain Joker in the Batman prequel series Gotham.
His character, Cal Kestis, is on a journey to overcome the tragic events of his past while also attempting to complete his training to become a full-fledged Jedi. Of course, he's also fighting for his life, as the Empire and its Inquisitors have been empowered by Order 66 to wipe out the Jedi, and they're after him.
During the panel, developer Respawn Entertainment also confirmed that Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order's release date as November 15. The game will be available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC through publisher EA's Origin service.
Star Wars Celebration also gave us the first trailer for next entry in the movie franchise and confirmed that the film will be titled Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker. You can watch the trailer here. If that wasn't enough Star Wars for you, Disney revealed that The Mandalorian, a spin-off TV series from Iron Man, Jungle Book, and The Lion King director Jon Favreau will be available when the Disney+ streaming service launches later this year.
Star Wars Celebration is sure to keep on delivering exciting news and tidbits about the future of the beloved franchise. You can stay up-to-date with all of it using our Star Wars Celebration roundup, which is being updated as and when new information is revealed.
At Star Wars Celebration this year, developer Respawn Entertainment held a panel for Jedi Fallen Order, its upcoming third-person action game. During the event, Respawn finally discussed details about the game's story, revealed the game's protagonist, the state of the universe he exists in, and the struggles he's fighting to overcome.
As detailed during the panel, Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order takes place shortly after the events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. Having branded the Jedi as traitors to the Galactic Republic, the Emperor issued Order 66, which meant Jedi were hunted down and killed. The protagonist of Jedi Fallen Order, a Padawan named Cal Kestis--played by Cameron Monaghan--is a survivor of Order 66. He is on a journey to pick up the pieces of his tragic past while trying to complete his Jedi training. At the same time, he must stay one step ahead of the Empire and its Inquisitors, who are seeking to kill him and his kind.
Players are introduced to Cal on Bracca, which is described as "a brand-new Star Wars planet and one of several new locations introduced in the game." There, Cal is attempting to hide from the Empire in plain sight, but after exposing his Force powers ends up on the run again. According to Respawn, as Cal, players will make a number of new friends over the course of the game, one of which is a companion called Cere. There will be "some familiar faces" that make an appearance too, though the studio stopped short of saying exactly who.
"Many Star Wars fans, ourselves included, are really interested in the Dark Times, so we wanted to explore that mysterious, dangerous period," said game director Stig Asmussen. "The team at Lucasfilm have been amazing collaborators, helping us explore and further develop this part of the timeline where the Empire is at the height of its power and any remaining Jedi are in hiding."
"When Respawn approached us with the idea for this game, we were immediately supportive. A single player, story-driven title in the Star Wars universe was exactly what we were looking for, and we know the fans have been eager for one, as well," added Lucasfilm's Steve Blank. "Focusing on Cal stepping back into the shoes of a Jedi post Order 66 opens up a lot of gameplay opportunities and rich story threads to develop for this new character and his backstory."
It wouldn't be Star Wars without a droid companion, and joining Cal is BD-1. The little droid was featured in a piece of Jedi Fallen Order artwork that was leaked by Amazon. BD-1 can be seen standing next to Cal, scanning a rock face.
On the Empire side is Second Sister, who is described as "one of the Empire's elite Inquisitors" and, as such, is hunting down Cal to extinguish him. Alongside her are Purge Troopers, which are described as "terrifying special Imperial forces trained to seek out Jedi and aid the Inquisitors."
Respawn will no doubt be giving us more details about the game's story soon, especially since its launch is not far off. During the panel the developer confirmed Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order's release date as November 15, 2019. The game will be available for PS4, Xbox One, and PC through publisher EA's Origin service.
Jedi Fallen Order is a third-person action game, which is something of a departure from the first-person shooters Respawn is known for doing. However, it is directed by Stig Asmussen, who previously worked at Sony Santa Monica and directed God of War 3. You can find out more about how the game plays in our Jedi Fallen Order gameplay overview.
Respawn boss Vince Zampella has confirmed that Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a story-driven, single-player game. There will be no multiplayer to speak of, and no microtransactions either, which means the game will be bucking a few recent trends in favor of delivering players a focused narrative.
On the Star Wars Celebration Day 1 live stream, Zampella said, [Jedi: Fallen Order] is a single-player story game… No multiplayer, no microtransactions. It's a story game." Zampella's words were met with applause and shouts of joy. This echoes Jedi: Fallen Order writer Chris Avellone's earlier comments, when he said story is "very important to Respawn."
"I hope [the six writers] are listed in the reveal because I accidentally said 'I've wrapped this up,' but there are other writers and I'm not even the lead guy," Avellone said. "Story was very important to Respawn. I think they do a good job of introducing various narrative layers into their games already, but they think the story is an important part of what they perceive to be a Star Wars game. That's one of the reasons I like Respawn, because when they tackle something like that, they understand what the important points are."
The Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords writer has said he's done with his portion of Jedi: Fallen Order's story. "I think they brought me on because I have a pretty strong Star Wars pedigree so I'd probably be able to just jump right in," Avellone continued. "And I was, which was good. It didn't require a ton of new research."
Jedi: Fallen Order was revealed during E3 2018, and Zampella said the Star Wars game is set after Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. You'll play as a Jedi Padawan that escaped Order 66, and you'll have access to a lightsaber. Respawn is expected to announce further details about Jedi: Fallen Order during a panel at Star Wars Celebration on April 13 at 11:30 AM PT / 2:30 PM ET / 7:30 PM BST.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is currently scheduled to release Fall 2019, presumably for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. Some art for the game has already been leaked. Despite not knowing much about it, there are quite a few people and places we want to see in the game.
"I hope [the six writers] are listed in the reveal because I accidentally said 'I've wrapped this up,' but there are other writers and I'm not even the lead guy," Avellone said in an interview with VG247. "Story was very important to Respawn. I think they do a good job of introducing various narrative layers into their games already, but they think the story is an important part of what they perceive to be a Star Wars game. That's one of the reasons I like Respawn, because when they tackle something like that, they understand what the important points are."
The lead narrative designer for Jedi: Fallen Order is Aaron Contreras, who previously led the creation of the story for Mafia 3. "I think they brought me on because I have a pretty strong Star Wars pedigree so I'd probably be able to just jump right in," Avellone continued. "And I was, which was good. It didn't require a ton of new research."
The first details for Jedi: Fallen Order were revealed during E3 2018. Respawn boss Vince Zampella said the Star Wars game has you play as a Jedi Padawan who escaped Order 66 after Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, still armed with a lightsaber. Zampella and Jedi: Fallen Order game director Stig Asmussen will further discuss Respawn and Lucasfilm's collaboration on the game on April 13 at 11:30 AM PT / 2:30 PM ET / 7:30 PM BST. Prior to the panel, Jedi: Fallen Order art work was leaked.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is scheduled to release Fall 2019. Despite not knowing much about it, there's quite a few people and places we want to see in the game. Respawn hasn't announced scheduled platforms for Jedi: Fallen Order, but the game is presumably releasing for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
Father's Day can be one of the hardest holidays to shop for--after all, what do you get the man who has everything? Fortunately, if your dad or husband is into games, there's practically an endless list of games-related products he'd probably enjoy, especially with new games coming out for PS4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC all the time.
Feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the choices out there? We've got you covered--here are some of the best gift ideas for gamer dads this Father's Day, including consoles, accessories, merchandise, tabletop games, and more. Plus, check out the best video games available for each console below in case you're shopping around for a title he doesn't own.
If dad has been playing games since the '90s, he probably remembers the original NES and SNES and has fond memories of their now-iconic games. These mini versions of Nintendo's retro consoles come pre-loaded with dozens of games (the NES comes with 30 games, the SNES comes with 21), and each system takes up so little space, even the most crowded living room can accommodate them.
If he owns a PS4, then a PlayStation VR headset is the next logical addition to his gaming setup. Despite being more affordable than many VR headsets on the market, PSVR produced some of the best VR games of 2018 and was our top choice for VR gaming last year. He'll be able to buy and download PSVR games right away, or you can also get the headset as part of a bundle that includes games, like this Borderlands 2 and Beat Saber PSVR bundle.
Nintendo's newest console was built to be portable, but that large, precious screen is especially vulnerable to scratches if you ever take it outside the house (and most of us do, at some point). If he travels frequently and likes to play his Switch on the plane, train, bus, or elsewhere, this hard case will protect the console and also provides handy storage for all its games and accessories.
Compatible with PC, Mac, and PS4, Razer's Man O'War is one of the best gaming headsets you can buy in terms of price, performance, and comfort, particularly if you're looking for a wireless option. If he plays online multiplayer games, he'll appreciate this comfortable, surround-sound headset, which has a retractable microphone and crisp sound quality.
The Legend of Zelda is a powerhouse franchise that isn't slowing down anytime soon, as Breath of the Wild proved with its critically acclaimed release. If he's a Zelda fan, he'll appreciate this 320-page guide to the Zelda universe, from the 1986 original to Twilight Princess (BOTW isn't included here, but there's another book completed dedicated to it). This encyclopedia is a fascinating look at the making of the games, including their art and lore, and makes the perfect gift for any hardcore Zelda enthusiast.
With 4.5 stars on Amazon and over 1,000 reviews, the Logitech G900 Chaos mouse is a solid bet if he's a dedicated PC gamer. This mouse, which can be used wired or wirelessly, will stay charged for up to 30 hours and has a highly responsive sensor for quick, precise movements. And with its customizable button layout, it can be used whether he plays with his right or left hand.
Listen: It's hard to argue with Pokémon and waffles. What's not to like? Particularly if he's a big breakfast person or enjoys cooking for the family, he'll love using this waffle maker to make warm, fluffy Belgian waffles with a nerdy theme.
8. Xbox Wireless Controller - Phantom White Special Edition
The newly released Phantom White wireless controller for Xbox One is gorgeous, with a translucent design that fades to white and reveals the controller's inner workings. The Bluetooth-enabled controller has a comfortable, textured grip and will be a prized addition to any Xbox collection.
You can't go wrong with a nice T-shirt or polo, and this ThinkGeek exclusive shirt is both classy and subtle with its design so he can feel comfortable wearing it anywhere. If he's a fan of classic arcade games like Space Invaders, this officially licensed top is perfect--but if not, ThinkGeek has a ton of other apparel inspired by various video games, movies, TV shows, and more.
10. The Witcher 3 Original Soundtrack Exclusive Vinyl Set
If he's a dad who still enjoys listening to vinyl records, surprise him with a deluxe set featuring the official soundtrack from his favorite game or movie. (Even if he doesn't own a record player, vinyl records look quite nice as decor on a shelf.) This stunning deluxe vinyl set featuring The Witcher 3 soundtrack would make a great gift for any fan of the critically acclaimed RPG, and Think Geek has other vinyl options too, from Undertale and Dark Souls II to Spider-Man Homecoming, Stranger Things, and more.
11. The Legend of Zelda Triforce Cufflinks and Tie Clip
Cufflinks and tie clips are subtle ways of adding personality to an otherwise traditional suit, and this silver set made from high-quality metal makes an excellent gift for any Zelda fan. You can also get the same set in gold, if that's his preference.
If he's a fan of board games, horror, and/or games with a strong narrative, he'll get a kick out of Betrayal at House on the Hill, a board game for three to six players who play as a group of strangers exploring a haunted house. As they enter different rooms, they'll stumble across mysterious objects and trigger certain events that will eventually lead to one player turning on the others, who must then fight for survival. Suspenseful and addictively fun, Betrayal has a ton of replay value with 50 unique scenarios that make the game different every time.
If he's a dedicated console player who isn't subscribed to PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live Gold, getting him a pre-paid membership is a solid gift any gamer would appreciate. The subscription services for each console grant access to online multiplayer, free monthly games, and exclusive discounts. A one-year membership generally sells for $60 on each platform, and one-month, three-month, and six-month passes are also available for cheaper.
If his PS4 is the main media device in your household--meaning he uses it to stream movies and TV and play DVDs as well as games--then this handy little device will be a small quality-of-life improvement for his entertainment space. For just $20, this officially licensed remote can quickly turn the PS4 on and off, navigate the PS4 screen, pause and play media, and more. While the capabilities are essentially the same as a PS4 controller, it saves your controller's battery for gaming, and some people simply prefer the feeling of a traditional remote.
While Nintendo UK is running a huge Eshop sale on Switch games right now, those of us in the States can still find some solid Switch deals of our own at Amazon, which is selling many first-party titles for $10 off and offering larger discounts on other games as well. It's rare that first-party Switch games fall below $60, even at Amazon, so this is a rare opportunity if you've had your eye on any of these games. And of course, if you're an Amazon Prime member, you'll receive free two-day shipping, as nearly all of these deals are Prime-eligible.
If you enjoyed Monster Hunter World's core gameplay, consider picking up Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate on the Switch, as it's over $20 off right now. The classic turn-based strategy game, Civilization VI, is also $20 off. Meanwhile, Elder Scrolls fans can grab Skyrim for Switch for just under $50.
Speaking of deals: GameStop's massive spring sale also includes discounts on Nintendo Switch games, along with PS4 and Xbox One games, consoles, accessories, collectibles, and more. Be sure to check out that sale before it ends April 20, as there are some great discounts.
The rebooted Hellboy franchise certainly has high hopes for a future with three major reveals care of the final minutes of the film and the two post-credits stingers--but they might be a little tricky to pick up on if you're not familiar with the Hellboy comics.
Don't worry--that's what we're here for.
Major Hellboy spoilers to follow, so please, watch your step.
Enter Abe
Fans of the original Hellboy film by Guillermo Del Toro will notice a major and obvious absence in this new take on the universe--the dynamic duo of "red and blue," Hellboy and Abe Sapien, is no longer. In this incarnation of the BPRD, Abe was never actually discovered, never became an agent, and never had a friendship with Dr. Broom or Hellboy at all.
At least, not yet. The final moments of the film feature Hellboy, Ben, and Alice clear out a base run by the occult-worshiping Oannus Society, a Hellboy comics deep-cut that actually ties into Abe's original origin story. Whatever brought them to the base is a mystery, but the team makes relatively short work of all the members as they clear each room. Finally, as the dust settles, they find themselves in a warehouse-like chamber where a strange water-filled tube is propped against the wall. The name plaque at the bottom reads "Ichthyo Sapien."
As the team leans in closer, a familiar webbed hand reaches up, inside of the tube, and slaps against the glass.
We don't actually see any more of Abe in the scene, and we don't get any indication of the team's reaction to him in that moment, but we do know that he's here in one form or another. It certainly seems like the franchise is going to be taking a bit more of its Abe cues from the comics, however, so we're likely going to learn that he was once human back in Victorian times, transformed into a monster during an arcane ritual.
Definitely a pretty far cry from the beloved David Hyde Pierce/Doug Jones collaboration in Del Toro's version, but hey, at least he's here at all.
What about Lobster Johnson?
The first post credits scene is another playful nod to Hellboy comics fans featuring the ghost of Lobster Johnson, a character who made a brief cameo in the retold origin story of Hellboy's birth during WW2.
In Hellboy comics, Lobster Johnson is actually the star of his own comic book series--of which Hellboy himself is a huge, huge fan. The comics-within-the-comics were based on Johnson's real life WW2 exploits, and his ghost does occasionally crop up to do what he does best: kill Nazis.
There isn't a ton of information to dissect in this particular scene, but it is pretty cute to know that this Hellboy still loves his favorite superhero/historical figure, and that Lobster's ghost is definitely still hanging out.
One More Comic Book Cameo
The final stinger is a surprisingly meaty one, considering it's all the way at the very end of the credits. It features a single shot of the horrifying Baba Yaga, speaking directly into the camera--or, well, to someone sitting across from her table, but who's perspective the camera is occupying.
She monologues about wanting Hellboy's eye--apparently this is a plight the person she's speaking to can sympathize with in one way or another--and she's going to send this person to get it for her. If they're successful, she'll grant them what they've always wanted: the ability to die.
The scene cuts before the person is revealed, but Hellboy comics fans will likely be able to make the connection. If a sequel ever happens, we're likely going to see the live action arrival of Edward Grey, a long standing Hellboy side character who is, you guessed it, immortal and not always the most stoked on that fact.
Strangely, in the comics, Grey isn't strictly speaking a villain--he's a renowned paranormal investigator who has been cursed with immortality for hundreds of years, but he's not necessarily evil or good. He actually works with Hellboy on occasion, seeing them as kindred spirits trying to shirk their destinies--so, really, who knows what will happen when and if a Hellboy 2 hits theaters. Will Grey be a villain? He's he going to try and double cross Baba to help Hellboy out?
Another weekend, another visit from Xur and his bag of Exotics in Destiny 2. The latest update to the game made another big change to Xur's inventory, giving you even more chances to get the Exotic weapons and armor you might not have. Unfortunately, though, Xur is only carrying Year One Exotics this week.
To find Xur this weekend, head to the Tower. Drop onto the Hangar side and head to the stairs behind where the Dead Orbit folks hang out. You'll find Xur up on a catwalk near the edge of the area. Leading Xur's haul is the Jade Rabbit Exotic scout rifle, which gives you extra precision damage when you chain body shots, and also returns ammo to the gun's magazine.
In the armor category, Titans can snag the Dunemarchers leg armor, which increases your sprint speed and builds up a static charge when you sprint, which releases chain lightning when you use melee attacks on enemies. Hunters get the Lucky Pants leg armor, which increase the handling speed of hand cannons and load rounds into your stowed hand canons when you nail precision shots with other guns. Finally, for Warlocks, there's Starfire Protocol, an Exotic chest armor that gives you an additional Fusion grenade charge, with grenades giving you Rift energy and damage from Rift empowered weapons giving you grenade energy.
Here are all the Exotics Xur offers this week and what they'll cost you:
If you're bummed with the Year One haul Xur brings this week, you've got another option: You can purchase a Fated Engram. Starting this week, Fated Engrams can now dish out Exotics from the Forsaken expansion. If there's anything you're missing from the first expansion of Year Two, you can now potentially get it, if you can afford it--Fated Engrams will run you 97 Legendary Shards, and you can only get one per account each week. Xur also offers the Five of Swords challenge card for free, which allows you to add difficulty modifiers that increase your score in Nightfall runs.
Xur also brings another Invitation of the Nine this week, a weekly bounty that gives you a Powerful gear drop, a bit of story about the Nine, and a new Lore entry. If you've been keeping up each week, this one will send you to Mercury to complete Garden World Strike. You'll also need to kill Cabal, Hive, and Vex enemies.
Respawn is preparing to take the wraps off of its next game, Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order, this weekend, with a panel planned for Star Wars Celebration. That event is now underway, but before the panel takes place on Saturday, we've got our first look at a piece of key art thanks to a retailer's mistake.
The online retailer Amazon mistakenly put up a listing for a commemorative t-shirt, which showed the piece of artwork. It's been since removed, but not before fans secured the image for posterity. It shows a Jedi wielding a blue lightsaber and ascending a mountain, accompanied by a small droid that appears to be scanning. In the background, crashed into a landscape full of waterfalls, is what appears to be a Republic-era Star Destroyer.
We already knew the story of Jedi Fallen Order will revolve around a Jedi Padawan who escaped the Emperor's purge as depicted in the film Revenge of the Sith. The game is said to take place in the Dark Times as the Emperor consolidates his power over the galaxy and hunts down the remaining Jedi. This image itself doesn't appear to shed much new light on the story, but it does look pretty cool. And hey, we know there will be t-shirts. Meanwhile, the Episode 9 trailer has revealed that Palpatine is back in some capacity for the movie, though we're not sure exactly how the Emperor pulled it off.
Respawn began teasing its impending announcement with a social media post that showed a shrouded, broken lightsaber. It was accompanied by the words "Don't stand out," a possible reference to the story of Jedi in hiding.
The Star Wars Celebration panel will begin at 1:30 PM local time in Chicago. That's 2:30 PM ET / 11:30 AM PT / 7:30 PM GMT / 4:30 AM AEST (Sunday). To watch it all happen live, you can check the livestream here. We'll also be on-hand to deliver all the latest news from the show as it breaks.
So what did Johnson think? Judging by his reaction on Twitter, he's very pleased. The director of Brick, Looper, and the most recent main Star Wars film took the opportunity to gush like any other fan would.
I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS and I just melted back into being a happy kid. If you need me I'll be spending the rest of the day smiling dreamily. https://t.co/z8evIBbRoA
Johnson directed Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which was criticized by some fans for subverting the expectations set in JJ Abrams' first movie, The Force Awakens. In particular, Rey's parentage turned out to be no one of consequence, and the villainous Snoke was dispatched fairly easily, undermining him as a serious threat. Some have suggested that JJ Abrams returning to direct the last film means that some of Johnson's choices will be retconned, but this teaser-trailer does not confirm that to be the case. Johnson has indicated he doesn't really mind whatever Abrams would like to do with it.
With Snoke gone, the new primary villain of The Rise of Skywalker would appear to be Emperor Sheev Palpatine. His signature cackle can be heard near the end of the trailer, and just to make sure there was no confusion, actor Ian McDiarmid appeared on stage. We've posited a few theories on how the deceased villain may be making a return.
Palpatine isn't the only relic getting a reappearance in this final film. The footage also showed what appeared to be the wreckage of a Death Star--most likely the second such space station, where Palpatine presumptively died. This film is said to take place some time after The Last Jedi, so the characters have had some time to grow into their various roles before coming back together for a last adventure. That still leaves the mystery of what the title means.
The presentation wasn't all nostalgia, though. It also introduces us to a new character named Jannah, played by actress Naomi Ackie. Asked if she could be the daughter of Lando Calrissian, who is also reprising his role for this film, she gave a coy response that didn't exactly amount to a denial.
Easter is just around the corner, and Niantic is celebrating by bringing back the annual Eggstravaganza event in Pokemon Go. The week-long Egg-themed event returns next week starting Tuesday, April 16, and this time around it'll give players their first chance to capture Shiny Buneary.
Throughout the Eggstravangaza, you'll be able to hatch baby Pokemon like Pichu, Smoochum, and Magby from 2 km Eggs, and you'll receive twice the typical amount of Candy for every Egg you hatch. On top of that, Incubators will be twice as effective for the duration of the event, while Lucky Eggs will last twice as long as normal.
Beyond that, Niantic will also be distributing special Field Research tasks revolving around Eggs at Poke Stops. Buneary will also appear in the wild much more frequently than normal, and if you're lucky, you may come across its Shiny version. You can find more details about the event on the Pokemon Go website.
In the meantime, Pokemon Go's second Legendary Lunch Hour event is set for April 10. Shortly after that, Niantic will host this month's Community Day. The monthly event returns this Saturday, April 13, and will feature the rare Dragon Pokemon Bagon. Then, starting April 15, the Legendary Latios will make an encore appearance as part of a special week-long Raid event.
In addition to all of the upcoming events, Niantic has a couple of new features on the way for Pokemon Go, namely the Lucky Friends mechanic. Each day, you'll have a chance to become Lucky Friends with a player you've become Best Friends with, which will guarantee you both receive a Lucky Pokemon in one trade. The developer is also adding avatar poses to Pokemon Go's in-game store. These run for 500 coins apiece and let you customize your Trainer's pose in the game.
