The Fortnite Chapter 2 Riptide skin is the later ego of the Turk vs Riptide skin that players unlock as soon as they get the Battle Pass. Many Fortnite fans online have noted that the new skin looks an awful lot like Deathstroke from DC Comics, from his eye patch, to his facial hair, to his black and orange color scheme. More specifically, fans believe that the Fortnite Riptide skin looks like Joe Manganiello’s take on Deathstroke as seen in the end credits scene of the 2017 Justice League film....

Moreover, seeing this Durr Burger set getting more additions is an honest nod to the beginning of Fortnite season 5. As part of the promotions for season 5, the Durr Burger was “teleported” via Rift from the game world of Fortnite to the real-world Californian desert, so it makes sense for the mascot to have a continued influence on the game. Of course, whenever the Grill Sergeant skin becomes available is entirely up to Epic Games, but it is likely to be sooner rather than later....

The Quibi event in Fortnite started Friday at 2:00 p.m. PT and will last until 2:00 p.m. PT Saturday.

Arc System Works took to the stage shortly after Bandai Namco to show off a fancy teaser trailer. While it doesn’t show the game’s title or which consoles it will be coming to, we can gleam a few neat details from it. Obviously, Sol Badguy and Ky Kiske - two of the main characters - will be returning, and we also get a glimpse of a brand new character right at the very end....

Last week, fans of the franchise were teased in a trailer depicting Master Chief’s death, which indicates that perhaps the iconic Spartan might meet an untimely demise in the upcoming sequel. Now, with an upcoming television advertisement for Halo 5: Guardians, gamers will be getting somewhat of a visual representation of the struggle for the real story behind Master Chief’s motivations as depicted in the Hunt the Truth podcast serial that’s also based on the narrative....

The Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, which transported gas from Russia to Germany underneath the Baltic Sea, suffered a rupture late last month. On Tuesday, the Swedish newspaper, Expressen, published the first underwater photos and videos of the damaged pipeline taken by an underwater drone. The new images appear to show tears on the seabed near the site of one of the ruptured pipes. The Nord Stream structure itself appeared to have suffered more severe damage than suspected, with a chunk of the pipeline completely torn apart, not just cracked open....

For Rocksteady Studios, Comic-Con could be the last major event to get a juicy Batman: Arkham City reveal before the game’s release in October. Set to appear as part of the game’s panel, the iconic voices of Batman and Joker (Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamil) will be in attendance perhaps with a new trailer in tow. According to some clever detective work on the part of ArkhamCity.co.uk’s readership, some cryptic messages from Rocksteady were revealed to be hinting towards the developer bringing a new video to San Diego....

Then again, the path out of contention is the shortest ever, too. A new format for the seventh championship starting on Friday in San Francisco has dumped pool play and gone straight to knockout rounds, seemingly to appeal to a perceived shorter attention span of American fans. World Rugby has called the change exciting and innovative. Others see the immediate pressure as brutal. “Talking to most coaches among the world series teams (the format) is not a very popular thing,” said Damian McGrath, the Canada and former Samoa coach....

Brian McDermott, the manager charged with reviving the fortunes of once-mighty Leeds United, goes into his new job with a point to prove. McDermott, 52, was appointed by the so-called “sleeping giants” of English football, now languishing in the lower half of the second tier Championship, on Friday night. And he quickly got down to his task, insisting he was ready to get “right amongst it today” and prove to Premiership strugglers Reading they were wrong to sack him last month....

As spotted by GamesBeat’s Jeff Grubb, EA and BioWare are hiring a technical director for the new Mass Effect game that has experience working with Unreal Engine. Grubb’s sources haven’t confirmed with 100% certainty that the new Mass Effect will use Unreal Engine 5, but that “everything is on the table” when it comes to the game. While a video game being built with Unreal Engine may not seem like a big deal on paper, it could be huge for BioWare and the new Mass Effect game....

This latest Metro Exodus trailer shows off the frozen wastelands of Russia, new weapons, winged beasts, enemies, the gas mask, and much more. It ends with Artyom making a jump that seems like certain death, which may hint at the increasingly morbid theme of the game. Check it the newest trailer below: Unfortunately, the trailer doesn’t confirm a release date for Metro Exodus, but it is expected to release sometime in Q1 2019....

It’s easy to assume that these players, who often seem larger-than-life and invincible, don’t read their Twitter feeds or care what some random nobody says. Except these are college kids we’re talking about here — not professional athletes and certainly not robots — and sometimes, those words cut really deep.

Vidal: Ronaldo is a smart ass! The Italian was fired in February having led Leicester to a shock top-flight triumph in 2015-16 and had been out of work until being confirmed as Nantes’ coach this month. Ranieri led Monaco to promotion to Ligue 1 in his previous spell in French football and the 65-year-old is now hoping to put his time at Leicester behind him. “It was a fantastic experience,” Ranieri told reporters at his presentation on Monday....

On April 21, the NFL approved a new rule which relaxes certain position groups wearing certain numbers on the field, meaning you’re going to see a lot new funky numbers associated with certain position groups on the field. In prior seasons, only quarterbacks, kickers and punters were allowed to wear single digits, but that’s now a thing of the past with the NFL’s new rule. In fact, more position groups than not are allowed to wear those single digit numbers moving into the future....

There’s still little known on details of the Universal film, but an official Nope trailer did premiere during the Super Bowl that showed enough to get fans very excited. It also gave audiences their first chance to start thinking about theories and potential plot points.

In the clip, mother Heather said she had bought the house as a foreclosure during the pandemic and that the previous owner contacted a neighbor to let them know about a secret room in the home. Heather revealed the secret room was behind the closet in the upstairs bedroom and could be opened via an intricate locking mechanism....

However, as players continue to read the game description or watch the trailer, it’s apparent that Palworld has a notably dark side to it — one that not everyone is too keen about. While players can befriend Pals, they can also make them fight, use them for labor, and even kill them to eat them. While Pokemon players may engage in fights, as it’s part of the game overall, Pokemon fights are never to the death, and the games encourage players to forge meaningful relationships with their Pocket Monsters....

For the upcoming twenty-first Pokemon movie, Wit Studio, of Attack on Titan fame, is partnering up with current show animators OLM in order to bring a new look to the long-running franchise. In this brief Japanese teaser trailer, we can get our first glimpse of Ash’s new design, and there’s no denying how beautiful the animation is already looking. Ash’s new appearance looks a lot cleaner than it has in the past, with smoother features and less sharp edges to his design....
