The next DC Comics Fortnite skin is on the way next week, and after having seen heroes and even an anti-hero this season, it’s time for a villain. Slade Wilson, AKA Deathstroke, is coming to Fortnite on June 1.

It makes sense this Teen Titans and Batman villain would show up soon after Beast Boy and Batman Zero given Deathstroke’s long histories with each of them. Deathstroke Zero will go live in the Item Shop on June 1 and will be bundled with his signature katanas, which players can use as both Back Bling and a Pickaxe. Meanwhile, those who are still collecting the whole Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point comics will unlock a free code for Deathstroke’s Destroyer Glider.

If you want even more than the glider for free, you can try your luck in the Deathstroke Cup. Beginning on May 27, this Solo-focused Cup will accept entries from all participants, but after a maximum ten matches, the players with the best scores in each region will earn Deathstroke for free and earlier than his store debut. Anyone who accrues more than eight points in their Cup appearances will automatically unlock the Slade’s Watching Spray emote. You can find the complete rule set on the game’s website, though if you’ve played in past Cups, you should already know what to expect.

Deathstroke arrives next week alongside the fourth of six issues in the Zero Point comic arc, and it’s safe to assume something from the Rebirth Harley Quinn set will return soon too. Players who have the rare Harley outfit unlocked already got her with the first issue of the comic back in April. According to Epic, Rebirth Harley Quinn will debut in the Item Shop in June, though it’s unclear if she will come in addition to another tie-in release or if something from her full cosmetic set will be offered as a future comic freebie, as even players who already have Rebirth Harley don’t have any of her accessories yet. Players who redeem all six tie-in game codes with their comics will also unlock a yet-to-be-revealed Armored Batman skin.

We should be getting patch notes for version 16.50 soon, but in the meantime, catch up on your Week 10 challenges before another busy week of Fortnite news unfolds. It’s also not too late to get some of the brand-new Fortnite NBA skins.

In a lengthy thread on Twitter, Insomniac Games has revealed a long list of the Trophies players will be able to collect in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. The list includes 32 Trophies; however the game will also have an additional 15 hidden Trophies to unlock for a total of 47.

Insomniac has historically had some fun with Trophies and challenges for Ratchet & Clank games. Besides the usual story or weapons-based Trophies, the developer would throw some extra fun ones in there for curious players. For instance, Ratchet & Clank has a trophy that requires players to stand in a very precise spot while disguised as Captain Quark in its last level. Judging by the list released by Insomniac, it seems like there may be some more challenging Trophies in store for players.

The game will feature more weapons than Ratchet & Clank, as well as armor, aerial combat, and arena combat challenges. Load times in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart are also nearly non-existent thanks to the PS5’s internal SSD. Check out our Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart preorder guide for the best way to pick it up.

Once a year, crowds gather at the top of the dangerously steep Cooper’s Hill, near Gloucester in England, for a chance at immortality: chasing after a wheel of cheese and seeing who can make it to the bottom first. Or the least-maimed. If you’ve ever yearned to get your hands on the finest Gloucester cheese without having to worry about breaking a few bones in the process, the good news is that the dairy product is now available in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

“Do you love cheese enough to chase a wheel of Double Gloucester down a hill at 60 miles per hour? Many folks in Europe do! It’s all fun and games until someone gets curd,” Nintendo’s description for the Cheese Rolling event reads.

You’ll be able to pick up the limited-time Double Gloucester Cheese item from the Special Goods section of Nook Shopping for 1,200 Bells until May 31, although you won’t be able to roll it down a hill inside the game.

The cheese itself looks like an authentic replica of the fabled sporting delicacy and even features the trademark red and blue ribbons that are used to give the real item its distinctive flair. If you’d like to know more about the mad annual event and just what it takes to mentally prepare yourself to risk life and limb dashing down the steep incline of Cooper’s Hill, Netflix’s We Are the Champions documentary series has an episode dedicated to The Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake event.

Other Animal Crossing events that you can take part in right now include the Museum stamp rally until May 31, while June will let you take wedding photos for Reese and Cyrus all month long at Harv’s Island and you’ll be able to purchase wedding-themed items from both Nook Shopping and the Able Sisters’ shop.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been one of Nintendo’s biggest hits since it launched just over a year ago, and is now the second best-selling game on the Nintendo Switch console.

Microsoft has officially taken over publishing rights for “future iterations” of The Outer Worlds from Private Division, and that news arrived a day after Take-Two Interactive’s president said the company was fully committed to the franchise.

During Take-Two Interactive’s Q4 2021 earnings call (via Seeking Alpha), CEO Strauss Zelnick confirmed that The Outer Worlds has sold-in more than 3 million units since it was released in October 2019. Later in the call, Take-Two president Karl Slatoff answered a question about the Obsidian Entertainment-developed game, stating that the company was not only excited about the future of The Outer Worlds, but was happy to be a part of it.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/03/17/the-outer-worlds-murder-on-eridanos-dlc-review”]

“And we will be participating in the franchise and whatever the future holds for that franchise,” Slatoff said. “So we feel really good about it. And we think that it’s still building audience and this game itself has a lot of life left in it. And in the future — we’ll see what the future holds for it. But we do think it’s a long-term franchise and it is certainly something that we’re pleased with the results.”

Take-Two’s comments on being involved in The Outer Worlds’ future were of note mainly due to the fact that Microsoft purchased Obsidian in 2018, and Slatoff’s comments made it seem as though it would retain publishing rights for new installments despite that.

Private Division cleared up the confusion in a statement to Gamasutra, saying that, while the company would still be supporting 2018’s The Outer Worlds, Obsidian and Microsoft would handle the publishing of future iterations.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/10/22/the-outer-worlds-review”]

“Private Division is still supporting and marketing The Outer Worlds, including the upcoming release of Murder on Eridanos DLC on Nintendo Switch,” said the company. “Moving forward, Obsidian and Microsoft will be publishing future iterations in the franchise, and we’re absolutely thrilled to see where they take it.”

For more, check out our review of The Outer Worlds: Murder on Eriadanos DLC, the second and final expansion for the game that is very much a murder-mystery.

LittleBigPlanet’s servers have been temporarily disabled following ongoing attacks that include hackers posting offensive in-game messages.

LittleBigPlanet’s Twitter account shared the update, saying, “Due to the severity of the recent attacks we have no other option than to temporarily disable the game servers. We do not take these attacks lightly especially when they target our loyal community members. Thanks for understanding.”

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/11/20/why-littlebigplanet-was-the-best-game-pitch-this-ex-sony-exec-ever-saw-ign-unfiltered”]

The decision to take down the servers follows users like u/blueblur98_YT on Reddit noticing that hackers had been targeting specific groups by creating error messages that contain offensive content.

This is another chapter in the unfortunate server woes for LittleBigPlanet, a game that was originally released in 2008 for the PS3. Users noticed that LittleBigPlanet’s servers went down in March 2020 and the community received few updates as to what exactly was causing the issues.

LittleBigPlanet’s Twitter shared an update at the end of April, saying the servers were being taken down to test new security updates, and now these new attacks are impacting the game yet again. While wonderful when it works, this also affects LittleBigPlanet 2 & 3 as all three games are tied together in a way that, when one game has problems, the other two do as well.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/11/24/sackboy-a-big-adventure-review”]

Prior to these most recent attacks, the community was split in deciding whether to believe the server issues were due to a single, aggrieved member of the LBP community that stole server keys and claimed to upload thousands of junk levels as a DDOS attack to cripple servers or if it was based on a lack of support for games as they get older.

While there are those who still love playing the original, Sackboy has made his way to PS5 with Sackboy: A Big Adventure. In our review, we said that it “is a charming LittleBigPlanet spin-off that trades its creation tools in for a more straightforward Mario structure.”
