But apparently Epic isn't done with this week just yet, because the Fortnite Instagram account just teased a new skin based on a space dwarf from the co-op shooter Deep Rock Galactic.

We're a few weeks removed from the Battlefield 6 open beta, and by all accounts, the test was a massive success. While it was live, the beta topped the Steam charts while also placing highly on both Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5's active-user leaderboards. Once it was over, its absence (and some freebies) prompted a huge spike in sales of its predecessor, Battlefield 2042. The vibes around Battlefield haven't been this good in a while, thanks to that beta.
Feedback has been coming in...

Kirby and the Forgotten Land made quite an impact when it landed on Nintendo Switch back in 2022. In the titular pink mascot's first true 3D adventure, players were treated to a lengthy and feature-filled campaign and a surprising amount of post-game content. Now, with the addition of the Star-Crossed World expansion, there's even more to enjoy--provided you have a Nintendo Switch 2, that is.
With the introduction of Star-Crossed World, you can venture into previously completed levels to...
September 4 is quite the scary date for indie devs this year. You probably already know why, but here's the reason anyway: After a long wait, Hollow Knight: Silksong is finally arriving on that exact date. It's easily going to be one of the biggest indie releases of the year, and because of that fact, a number of indie games have opted for a delay to avoid being drowned out by the Silksong-mania. One exception is a co-op racing party game called Fling to the Finish, as the companies...
Disgraced Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey was "a little weird" on the set of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, game director Glen Schofield said, adding that the controversy surrounding the Oscar-winner does not "taint the game" overall.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A will see players return to Pokemon X and Y's Kalos region, and fittingly, one of the major gameplay features of those games will make a return: Mega Evolutions. Ahead of its release next month, The Pokemon Company has shown off one of the new Mega Evolutions debuting in the game, as the Luchador-inspired Pokemon Hawlucha is getting a serious upgrade when it jumps into the ring.
A Fighting- and Flying-type Pokemon, Hawlucha's Mega Evolution sees the Pokemon transform...
While proprietary engines aren't all that common at many studios--given the fact that they're just simply difficult to make--Capcom has found a lot of success with its own one, RE Engine. It's been used across all of the studio's games since 2017's Resident Evil 7, with the upcoming Pragmata being no different. However, a small thing you might not think about being important is that Diana, the game's deuteragonist, has very long hair. According to producer Naoto Oyama, the RE Engine actually...
Developer Crystal Dynamics is laying off more members from the team, though not detailing the total number of people impacted. This is the second round of cuts at the Tomb Raider studio within the last six months--and the first since the Perfect Dark reboot was canned.

If we're talking sub-genres within the playlist itself, then naturally, we have to know just how much of it is reserved for the best music to power a kickflip: ska. So just how much ska is in Skate? That's a question Skate's developers aren't quite ready to answer yet, although they...
