DC Universe’s Titans Renewed For Season 3

The second season of Titans, the DC Universe original series, is still underway on the streaming service. Given that the upcoming second season of Doom Patrol will be available on both DC Universe and the upcoming HBO Max streaming service, some were wondering just how long the former would last. Now, Titans has been renewed for a third season, which will air on DC Universe in the fall of 2020, ensuring the service will be staying put.

Warner Bros. announced the news without giving any details about what Titans Season 3 would entail. However, if the second season is any indication, get ready for even more new additions to the cast of characters plucked from throughout DC mythology. Thus far, Season 2 has seen the arrival of Superboy (Joshua Orpin), Deathstroke (Esai Morales), Dr. Light (Michael Mosley), and Blackfire (Damaris Lewis), just to name a few.

Another season of Titans on DC Universe is an exciting prospect, but it’s not the only original programming coming to the service. The second season of Doom Patrol will continue to air on DCU, alongside HBO Max. Meanwhile, the animated Harley Quinn series will premiere on November 29. The animated series Young Justice: Outsiders has also been renewed for another season.

There are also a couple of projects for the service that remain a bit of a mystery. A Stargirl series was previously announced for DC Universe, though a release date has yet to be announced. It was also revealed at New York Comic Con that BizarroTV, an anthology series, was being developed.

Black Friday’s Best Nintendo Switch Game Deals: Super Mario Odyssey, Breath Of The Wild, And More

The products discussed here were independently chosen by our editors. GameSpot may get a share of the revenue if you buy anything featured on our site.

You never know what you’re going to get with Nintendo on Black Friday. Unlike the PS4 and Xbox One, super great Switch deals aren’t guaranteed, even when it comes to games. But based on the Black Friday ads that have released so far from Best Buy and Target, Black Friday 2019 will buck that trend. A wide selection of great Nintendo Switch games will be on sale, including excellent first-party exclusives for some truly awesome prices.

Where to find the best Nintendo Switch game deals

This year, retailers like Amazon, Target, Best Buy, GameStop, and Walmart will have some of the most popular Switch games for 33% off, dropping the price on games like Mario Tennis Aces, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Super Mario Odyssey from $60 to $40. The exception here is Target, which will have those three games for $30 each in a limited-time doorbuster deal on Thanksgiving before the price returns to $40 for the rest of the weekend.

Those five major retailers will likely account for the vast majority of deals on Switch games. That said, if you prefer to buy digitally, the Nintendo Eshop usually has its own sale on games, so you’ll want to check those out during Black Friday weekend too. At this time, Best Buy and Target have released their Black Friday ads. We’ll continue updating our list of the best Switch game deals below as more retailers drop their Black Friday ads.

For more Black Friday Switch deals, check out our guide to the best Switch console and accessory deals, which includes a familiar Switch bundle and discounts on multiple Switch controllers.

Pokemon Sword & Shield’s Final Pre-Launch Trailer Reveals Two New Pokemon

We’re only a few days away from the release of Pokemon Sword and Shield. The Gen 8 Pokemon games arrive on Nintendo Switch this Friday, November 15, and ahead of their launch, The Pokemon Company has shared one final pre-release trailer that gives us another quick look at the titles–as well as a couple of new Pokemon.

The trailer, which you can watch below, has only been released in Japanese, but it primarily showcases some of the new Gen 8 Pokemon that have been revealed since Sword and Shield were first announced, such as the Electric-type corgi Yamper and Obstagoon, a Galar-exclusive addition to the Zigzagoon line.

Interestingly, the trailer also shows off two as-yet unrevealed Pokemon: the first appears to be made up out of runes, while the second appears to be a Galar-exclusive evolution of Mr. Mime, according to leaks that have been circulating online. You can take a look at the two new Pokemon beneath the trailer below.

Beyond the new Pokemon, the trailer also gives us another look at some of the Gym Leaders you’ll encounter on your journey across the Galar region, as well as some Pokemon that are capable of Gigantamaxing, such as Charizard and Butterfree. You’ll have a chance to add the latter to your team; from November 15 to early January, Gigantamax Butterfree will be more likely to appear in Max Raid Battles. During that same time frame, Sword players will also be more likely to encounter Gigantamax Drednaw, while Shield players will have a better chance of finding Gigantamax Corviknight.

Pokemon Sword and Shield release on Nintendo Switch on November 15, and the games will be $10 off at Walmart stores on launch day. Early adopters will also be able to get a few free Pokemon. Those who pick up a game by January 15, 2020 will be able to receive a free Gigantamax-capable Meowth, and players with save data of Let’s Go Pikachu or Eevee on their systems will get a free Gigantamax-capable Pikachu or Eevee.

The Resistance

The Resistance

The Resistance is a great game for larger groups, anywhere from five to 10 players. In this game, there are two sides: the Resistance, an underground group of fighters fighting against an oppressive leadership, and the government spies who have infiltrated their group. The goal of the Resistance is to successfully complete a certain number of missions, while the spies will win if they ensure a certain number of missions fail. The catch is that while the spies know each others’ identities, the Resistance only knows the number of spies among their group, meaning those players must choose carefully when deciding who goes on each mission. The Resistance is similar to Mafia or Werewolf in that players must debate and figure out the identities of the spies based on people’s actions and behaviors. From bluffing your way through as a Resistance member to throwing false accusations at other players, there are plenty of things you can do as a spy to throw other players off track, and it’s incredibly fun.

Rocket League Now Has Beat Saber Cosmetics, And They’re Free

Rocket League has received some new free cosmetic items, and they pay homage to another huge indie darling.

The latest Rocket League / Beat Saber crossover has brought a new topper and boost to Psyonix’s car soccer game, based on the blocks you’re slashing away at in Beat Saber. You can wear one of the hood of your car, or fit it out with a boost that looks like the lanes from Beat Saber, with blocks travelling down. Check out the gif in the Tweet below for a better look.

Just last week the music of Rocket League came to Beat Saber, giving players of the VR rhythm game access to six pieces of music from the game. This free cosmetic DLC could be a way of promoting that pack, which will set you back a few dollars.

Rocket League is big on collaborations–it featured a Stranger Things event over Halloween. There are some big changes coming to the game soon, too, as it will soon ditch loot crates in favour of ‘Blueprints‘ that show you exactly what you’re getting. Beat Saber, meanwhile, is available on Oculus and PS VR. In our 8/10 review, we praised it as “an exhilarating rush and an exhausting game to play in the best way.”
