The Pokemon Company has teamed up with Uniqlo to bring more style options to both Pokemon Go and in Uniqlo stores. All the t-shirts from the Uniqlo UT with Pokemon Collection are coming to the Style Shop in Pokemon Go.
Three of the designs from the collection–the Pikachu, Ditto, and Eevee t-shirts–will be available as free avatar items for all players as of Monday, May 15 at 5 PM PT. Players can collect all three in-game shirts for free after 5 PM PT.
The Ditto, Pikachu, and Eevee shirts.
The same t-shirts will be available to purchase in real life on the Uniqlo website so players can match their in-game avatars. There will also be more shirts coming to the game once the collection goes live on the Uniqlo online store.
Maneater is out on PC, PS4, and XBox One on May 22 (and will come to Switch later this year), so it’s not long now until we can take control of the game’s shark protagonist and wreck havoc. It reminds us a lot of The Meg, Jason Statham’s fun shark action movie, but with the comedy ramped right up.
The trailer frames Maneater as the next season of a shlocky TV drama about a shark out for revenge. Said shark will be able to fight other sharks, leap out of the water to eat people, and spin through the air to dodge bullets–so don’t expect anything too scientifically accurate.
Check out the trailer below–but bear in mind that it’s pretty violent.
One thing’s for sure–it looks a lot better than earlier shark action game Jaws Unleashed, a game that never once let you smack an explosive canister into a boat with your tail like you were spiking a volleyball.
Halo developer 343 Industries is now one step closer to releasing a hotfix for The Master Chief Collection that should sort out some of the issues that are currently impacting the experience. If you need a refresher, a recent Master Chief Collection update added Halo 2 Anniversary on PC and made changes on Xbox One as well, but the release was riddled with bugs.
In a blog post, 343 said it has created fixes for three of the most pressing issues with The Master Chief Collection, including projectile physics that are borked, match stability in Halo 3, and crashes in Halo 3 on the Valhalla map. Assuming everything goes to plan from here on out, 343 will release a hotfix that fixes these issues in the near future. Before the update can be released, 343 needs to have it certified for released, and that can take time.
“As the build moves through this standard release process, we will continue to share daily updates on its progress,” 343 said. “Thank you for your reports and continued patience as we work to address these issues.”
Kerbal Space Program is teaming up with the European Space Agency (ESA) to launch a free update, which will celebrate the ESA’s numerous contributions to space exploration.
The update is called “Shared Horizons” and will include two new missions recreating ESA ventures, using the Arian 5 rocket and some ESA-themed space suits for Kerbals.
“Here at the European Space Agency, many of our engineers and scientists are very familiar with KSP,” ESA Director of Science Günther Hasinger said in a statement on the ESA official website. “Both Rosetta and BepiColombo are highly complex missions that have specific challenges; however, each prove to be very rewarding for ESA and the global scientific community. Because of this, I am very happy that these ground-breaking science missions can be experienced on Kerbin as well as on Earth.”
The first mission, BepiColombo, will allow players to recreate the original joint expedition to Mercury that the real life ESA undertook. The second mission, Rosetta, will task players with gathering important data on comets, sending out Kerbals onto the moving space debris.
eFootball PES 2020 was meant to receive DLC for the UEFA 2020 tournament in April, but it was delayed due to the COVID-19 crisis–and the tournament itself is not happening. Now, after a short delay, we have a release date for the new pack, and it’ll be completely free for anyone who owns the game.
This content will arrive on June 4 as part of Data Pack 7.0, and will be available on PS4, Xbox One, and Steam.
According to the press release, here’s what it will contain:
All 55 UEFA national teams, squad rosters and existing kits will be available
The official UEFA EURO 2020 tournament mode will be added as planned
Faithful and highly realistic recreations of Wembley Stadium and Saint Petersburg Stadium will be added as planned
The official UEFA EURO 2020 Group Stage match ball will be available at launch
UEFA EURO 2020 Featured Players, themed Matchdays and other in-game events are still planned but subject to change, with further details to be shared in-game
Unfortunately–but understandably–due to what’s happening in the world right now, the UEFA EURO 2020 Team of the Tournament will not be released, as the tournament isn’t actually happening.
PES 2020 has received some big updates since launch, including an Iconic Moments series that lets you play through some huge moments from football history. The game received a 9/10 in GameSpot’s review, and reviewer Richard Wakeling said that it “might be the greatest football game ever made.”

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is in the works for the launch of both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X (as well as PC and current systems), and it’s going to introduce a few changes to the Assassin’s Creed formula. The two most recent games in the series, Origins and Odyssey, have taken the series in a new direction by melding the action gameplay with RPG elements. Valhalla isn’t necessarily dropping those, but it sounds like progression will be a bit different in the new game.
Talking to Kotaku, creative director Ashraf Ismail has delved into the game’s progression system, as well as how new missions will be doled out, among other details. Ismail says that one of the goals with this game is to prevent players from hitting progression walls, so that you’re less likely to need to grind to level up.
“We have a new take on progression in this game,” Ismail says. “We have more the concept of power, power that is gained through, let’s say, the player gaining skills.” He wants to avoid “big progression walls” with this game, so that players can explore freely without being held back too much.
As we’ve previously reported, Valhalla is ditching a traditional leveling system in favor of a new “power” measurement. Ismail would not say whether the game would have an XP booster DLC, like Odyssey, simply stating that the developer wanted to “earn every single penny that you’re going to pay” for Valhalla.
Microtransactions for Valhalla seem all but inevitable, as Odyssey saw a huge growth in spending from players, leading to higher profits for Ubisoft. What form they take remains to be seen.
Elsewhere in the interview, Ismail talks about mission structure, and hints at more options for non-violence–despite playing as an assassin viking. Ismail also says that you’ll retreat back to your settlement often. “The idea is we want you to start in the settlement and to go out into the world. In the settlement, you might receive some kind of information about what’s happening out in the world, whether it’s contacts, or people that you’ve known in the past, or new opportunities that have arrived,” he says.
“When you set out into the world, to go after whatever that is, you get embroiled into politics,” he continues. “You get caught up into a journey. We give options within that. So sometimes, yes, it means that you can, let’s say, negotiate to resolve something.”
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will bring back some elements from older games in the series, including the insta-kill stealth blade that many players have missed.

The collection features card games, board games, and more. There are games included from around the world. There are classics like Chess, Checkers, Blackjack, Billiards, and Bowling. The bowling even looks a lot like the the bowling from Wii Sports for those who mastered that skill back in the day.
Players will be able to use a single Switch for multiplayer, or use multiple Switchs for multi-screen play. There will be a free software download on the Eshop for those who wish to use more than one Switch to play the game without purchasing multiple copies.
There is even an online mode to compete against other players around the world. Players can select up to three mini-games to play against someone online. However, the online play requires an active Nintendo Switch Online membership to use.
While the title says 51 games are included, there are actually 52 games in total, as there is a secret game called “Piano” according to Nintendo’s official Japanese website.
Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics arrives on Nintendo Switch on June 5. You can pre-purchase the collection on the Nintendo Eshop now.

It feels like everyone is playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons right now, and that includes many of the developers at Crystal Dynamics, the team behind the most recent Tomb Raider games. In fact, some members of the Tomb Raider team have created outfits for your Animal Crossing character, so you can dress up as three different eras of Lara Croft.
The official Tomb Raider Tumblr has posted creator codes for three custom tops–one based on her original design, one for Angel of Darkness, and one for the 2013 reboot. You can dress your character up as your favorite incantation of the Tomb Raider.
Check out the images below for the outfits and each top’s creator code.
