Ubisoft announced Ghost Recon Breakpoint nearly a month before E3 2019 . The last game, Wildlands , received only a middling reception at launch , but the studio committed itself to long-term support with plenty of post-launch content, tweaks, and special events to keep fans entertained. That sets the stage for Breakpoint, a direct sequel to Wildlands , to learn from its predecessor and come out stronger off the starting block. With Ghost Recon Breakpoint sure to light up the Ubisoft stage at E3, we review what we already know about the upcoming Tom Clancy game--and what we're hoping to learn from the event. What We Know So Far Thanks to an in-depth announcement event, we know quite a bit about Breakpoint already. It takes place in Auroa, a fictional Pacific archipelago that houses the Skell Technology corporation. That company specializes in drone tech with military applications, so the Ghosts are sent to investigate when communication from the company ceases. The game focuse...

After several teases on social media from Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon, we finally got footage of returning antagonist Shang Tsung in Mortal Kombat 11 . As the first character for the upcoming Kombat Pack, Shang Tsung will be available early for current owners of the DLC on June 18 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. In addition to the new character, Kombat Pack owners will also get early access to Klassic Skins for Scorpion, Noob-Saibot, and Sub-Zero. As the original antagonist for the Mortal Kombat series, before quickly being brushed aside in favor of big-bads Shao Khan and Shinnok, the sorcerer has gone through many changes throughout the series. However, his combat style has always focused on his abilities to steal men's souls and use their talents against them. In addition to copying his opponent's appearances and skills, the warlock also harnesses the souls of returning ninjas Rain, Smoke, and Ermac--who are interestingly enough found dead in MK11's Krypt. During the battle,...

Bandai Namco has released a new dev diary for Digimon Survive , an upcoming survival strategy RPG based on the franchise about digital monsters. The video acts as a lead-up to both the game's release and the upcoming 20th anniversary for the international debut of the original Digimon Adventure anime, recounting the history of Digimon and how it has influenced the development of Digimon Survive. This video is linked below. "At present, the Digimon Story series is acting as our core property since we believe that it's our best property to further expand Digimon's reach, but we also have another series known as Digimon World that while strongly supported by our core fans, is rather specialized in its game mechanics making it somewhat harder for more casual fans and customers to get into, leading us to spend some time thinking about how we can change this, how we can keep the unique gameplay style and feeling of a new game while also creating a Digimon game that's a...

E3 2019 is fast approaching, and the biggest publishers are preparing to show off their slates of games for the upcoming year and beyond. Square Enix is holding a press event on Monday, June 10 at 6 PM ET / 9 PM PT. Regular show watchers will recognize that time slot as one that usually belongs to Sony, which is forgoing the conference this year. We already know some of Square Enix's plans, while others are less clear. The company has teased a reveal of its long-anticipated Marvel's Avengers game. Some details have purportedly already leaked , but seeing it announced live is almost certain to reveal more information. Square also recently announced it will show off Dying Light 2 from Techland at its E3 event. And while it isn't quite confirmed, the latest State of Play presentation showed of the Final Fantasy VII remake with an intriguing "more to come in June" teaser, which probably means it will be part of the E3 presentation too. Make sure to check out a...

Larian Studios, the developer behind Divinity: Original Sin and Original Sin 2 , has dropped what appears to be a teaser for a new Baldur's Gate. The official site has updated with a "III" logo, though the stylized lettering isn't quite unique enough to necessarily identify it as belonging to Baldur's Gate. As some savvy Twitter users have pointed out, though, the metadata refers to the image as "BaldursGate_logo_III_retouched." It's possible this wasn't meant to be seen and is something of an inside joke, but it could also mean the studio is bringing Baldur's Gate back. The timing of this tease could suggest that the studio is preparing a reveal at E3 2019 . The series has been relatively quiet recently. An Enhanced Edition port of the original Baldur's Gate was released in 2013, and a new expansion was released in 2016, under Atari and the Canadian publisher Beamdog. The last numbered Baldur's Gate game released in 2000, develo...

Robert Pattinson has won the role of the Dark Knight. It has been reported that Warner has approved Pattinson as the star of The Batman, the upcoming DC movie to be directed by War for the Planet of the Apes director Matt Reeves. According to Deadline , the studio has decided to move forward with Pattinson as Batman after considering him and X-Men star Nicholas Hoult. The news that Pattinson was the front-runner was first reported earlier this month. Deadline states that both actors were impressive contenders, but ultimately the studio went with the former Twilight star. The site also reports that DC is intending to make a trilogy of Batman movies with Pattinson in the lead. An official announcement is expected soon. Pattinson is best known for his role as Edward in the Twilight series. He also appeared in two Harry Potter movies as Cedric Diggory, and has more recently starred in a series of acclaimed indie movies, such as Good Time, High-Life, and the upcoming The Lighthouse. He i...

Netflix is to raise the price of its subscriptions in the UK for the first time since 2017, the company has said. Two of its three membership options will go up in price, with the other remaining the same. The two options affected are the mid-range standard tariff, which will soon cost £9 per month, having previously cost £8 per month. This popular option allows you to stream HD TV and films to two devices at a time. The premium option, which currently costs £9 per month and allows you to stream ultra HD content to four devices, will increase to £11 per month, while the basic SD-only package will remain at £6 per month. The new prices will be rolled out over the coming weeks for existing customers, but are effective immediately for new members. Netflix told BBC News the price hike was necessary "to reflect the significant investments we've made in new TV shows and films." The new prices take Netflix's standard tariff above the £8 per month Amazon charges for Prime...

The newest patch for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has arrived. Version 3.1.0 is out now, and it adds VR support for Nintendo Labo and makes a series of changes to fighters. You need the Nintendo Labo Toy-Con VR goggles to play in VR, and it's important to note that it only works in single-player offline. Outside of the VR support, Version 3.1.0 makes general game balance adjustments and fixes "several" issues. Additionally, the patch allows players to use FPs in Battle Arenas.

Season 9 of Fortnite is well underway, and along with the usual weekly and Utopia challenges, Epic is holding a Downtown Drop limited-time mode , which comes with its own assortment of tasks to complete and rewards to unlock. Most of these are fairly self-explanatory, but one that'll require a little more work is to search O-N-F-I-R-E letters . These are scattered around the map, so if you need help finding them, we're here to show you where to go. The Downtown Drop LTM takes place in its own self-contained map, which greatly limits the area you'll need to search to find the letters. Even so, the map can be confusing to navigate thanks to all of the ramps and corners it features, especially since you're constantly slipping and sliding as you play the mode, so knowing exactly where to look for the letters will greatly alleviate the frustration of this challenge. You can see where each of the letters is located below: O: Next to the red car in the southeast corner N...

Nintendo is rolling out a new patch for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate this week. All the company has said is the update will make an assortment of "fighter adjustments," but it appears there will be a few new features on the way as well, including Labo VR support.

E3 2019 is fast approaching and in under two weeks time, we'll be inundated with press conferences, new game announcements, gameplay videos, and everything else that makes the annual event so exciting. Historically, much of the excitement has been focused on the big three: Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo.

The first trailer for Rambo: Last Blood is here. The fifth movie in the long-running action series stars Sylvester Stallone as former soldier and mercenary John Rambo who is called back into his old life for one last mission. The trailer doesn't really give much about the story away, but it delivers everything that fans of the series will expect. Namely, Stallone shooting, stabbing, and blowing up lots of people, this time in Mexico, while his voiceover tells us that "death is coming" for his enemies. Check it out above. Rambo: Last Blood hits theaters on September 20 and is directed by Adrian Grunberg, who previously made the Mel Gibson thriller Get the Gringo.

Fortnite Season 9, Week 4's challenges are now available and, among them, is one that'll require a little bit of detective work. The challenge in question is part of the free set, so everyone will be able to do it, and it tasks players with seeking out three specific landmarks and dancing near them. The first of these is the Holographic Tomato head, which you'll be able to spot by heading over to the Mega Mall. If you're not familiar with it, don't worry, it's situated where Retail Row used to be, but after the time skip event of Season 9, it's now become a mall. It's fairly obvious to see, which is unsurprising since it's a giant tomato with a face on it, but the easiest way to get to it is to drop near it and float down. Once you're there, do a little dance, and you're good. The second stage of the challenge involves dancing inside a holographic Durr Burger head. This is located at another semi-new area: Neo Tilted. This is basically a f...

Dark Phoenix is the latest--and possibly last--movie in the current series of X-Men movies. It was originally set to be released in November 2018, but has been delayed following reshoots and finally arrives next month. Star James McEvoy has now revealed one of the reason for the reshoots. In an interview with Yahoo Movies , McEvoy explained that the entire ending of the movie had to be reworked in order to avoid similarities to another superhero movie. "The end [of Dark Phoenix] changed a hell of a lot," he said. "The finale had to change. There was a lot of overlap and parallels with another superhero movie that came out… a while ago. And we had no idea that we were... we were basically trawling through the source material it seems." Although McEvoy declined to state which rival comic book film had the similar ending, he gave some hints when he spoke about the location for the original ending. "The story ended in space in a much more significant way,...

2009's Ghostbusters: The Video Game is being remastered for the PlayStation 4 . A trailer for the game has been released and confirms that it is being developed by Saber Interactive, which recently worked on World War Z and NBA 2K Playgrounds . The PS4 game is set to launch in 2019. The trailer states that Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered will feature high-resolution visuals, but there's no further information on any additional bells and whistles that may be included. It also seems that the original cast will once again be voicing their characters. In the game, players take control of a new member of the team, but work alongside the core cast of the movie franchise. Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, who wrote the original movies, were involved in the creation of the game's script, and this helped give it authenticity. In GameSpot's original Ghostbusters: The Video Game review , Kevin VanOrd said, "If you're a fan of the films, or just like a little bit ...

Following the announcement from Netflix that it would consider no longer filming in Georgia if the state's abortion law takes effect, Disney has now also weighed in. CEO Bob Iger told Reuters that Disney would likely pull out of its operations in Georgia if the law goes into effect in 2020 as scheduled. He said it would be "very difficult" to keep filming there if that happens. "I think many people who work for us will not want to work there, and we will have to heed their wishes in that regard," he said. "I don't see how it's practical for us to continue to shoot there" if the law takes effect, Iger said. Disney filmed some of its biggest movies in Georgia, including Black Panther, Avengers: Endgame, and other Marvel box office juggernauts. Iger also mentioned that it's expected that Georgia's abortion law will be challenged in court. "Right now we are watching it very carefully," Iger said. Netflix boss Ted Sarandos sa...

Blizzard is currently working on a lot of games; in fact, the studio has more titles in production currently than it ever has in its entire history.
