Overwatch League Grand Finals to Be Held in New York
The inaugural season of the Overwatch League kicked off back in January, and while Stage 4 and the Playoffs are still ahead of us, the season’s climactic finale is now in sight. The Grand Finals will be held at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, over a period of two days on July 27-28.
“Following the end of the Overwatch League regular season on Sunday, June 17,” reads a press release, “the postseason will begin, with a field of six teams on Wednesday, July 11 at Blizzard Arena Los Angeles in Burbank, California. After the playoffs conclude, two finalists will take center stage in the Big Apple—at the home arena of the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets—to battle for a share of the USD $1.4 million prize pool, the Overwatch League trophy, and a place in the history books.”
The Next Generation is Finally Coming to Star Trek: Bridge Crew
Nearly a year after launch, Star Trek: Bridge Crew is finally getting what Ubisoft tells me is its most requested feature by far: The Next Generation-themed content. But on top of the androids, Borg cubes, and swanky wood-paneled interior, the DLC will also bring a new player role that’s essentially like playing FTL on the Enterprise-D.
While using this iconic new ship, the usual Engineer role gets swapped out for Operations. You still have similar responsibilities to the Engineer – charging warp coils and allocating power – but Operations is also given a side-view map of the Enterprise and a hand full of generic crew to move around it. Moving them to certain systems will provide different bonuses to your ship, and is basically a little mini-game in itself.
Dead by Daylight Dev’s Next Game Puts an FPS Twist on Asymmetrical PvP
Deathgarden, the newest game from Dead by Daylight developer Behavior Digital, is a different take on asymmetrical PvP. This near-future bloodsport has one person playing what seems like a more traditional FPS, but the other five are teamed up against them in a third-person game of capture point keepaway.
I got my hands on Deathgarden’s closed alpha, and it’s already deep, fast, and shaping up to be a whole lot of fun. It’s a simple premise: a team of five Runners have to sprint and climb around a randomized map, coordinating to capture two of the three available capture points. Meanwhile, a lone Hunter is trying to track them down and blast them to smithereens. The Runners have a bow for marking items and special abilities to impede the Hunter, but they can’t actual hurt them. The Hunter, however, has a lethal arsenal of assault rifles, shotguns, and more.
Jurassic World Evolution: Revealing Isla Tacano – IGN First
Jurassic World Evolution sticks you in charge of the Islands known as Las Cinco Muertes, which is more cheerfully known as The Five Deaths. Why anybody would decide to start a resort full of spiky teethed monsters on something called the FIVE DEATHS is beyond me but do you know what? I’m glad they did.
You can take a look at Isla Tacano in the video up above. The island is apparently a tropical paradise where the weather is generally nice BUT can be hit by the occasional be hit by severe storms and sometimes twisters. What could possibly go wrong with that?!
If you liked that then have a look at another Island of the Five Deaths, 20 minutes of gameplay on Island Matanceros which roughly translates as the Island of Slaughter…
PUBG Savage Map Gets New Name, Another Round Of Testing Tomorrow
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds‘ Savage map is returning soon for another round of testing on PC. Developer PUBG Corp. announced it will hold a third beta for the smaller, island-themed map this week, which now goes by a new name: Sanhok.
According to PUBG Corp., the new name is derived from the Thai word for “fun” and the Tagalog word for “chicken,” in keeping with the southeast Asian influence behind the map. “This new map is inspired by a wide variety of islands across southeast Asia, including those found in Thailand and the Philippines,” the developer explained. “To reflect that inspiration, we invented a sort of hodgepodge combination of two words.”
Sanhok enters its next round of testing tomorrow, May 10, at 7 PM PT / 10 PM ET (3 AM BST on May 11) and will be playable until 4 AM PT / 7 AM ET / 12 PM BST on May 14. This time, everyone who has purchased the game on Steam will be able to participate. To get in, players will need to download the Experimental Test Server client before the test begins, which will appear automatically in everyone’s Steam Library. The same client can be used for future Sanhok tests.
PUBG Corp. says it has made “many fixes and updates” to Sanhok based on the feedback it has received from the previous betas. The exact changes will be detailed in the full patch notes for this round of testing, which will be released 24 hours before the test begins.
Sanhok still doesn’t have a release date, but it is slated to arrive in the PC version in “a couple of months.” Meanwhile, the Xbox One edition of PUBG is also set to receive a new map soon: Miramar. Following a series of closed tests last month, Miramar is expected to launch for the console sometime in May.

One of them is not Ryan Reynolds.” See the full letter below:
