Borderlands 3 shoots onto PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on September 13, and ahead of its release, the looter-shooter got a new rocking trailer showing the Vault Hunters jamming out to some Queen.

The new trailer shows the four Vault Hunters–Amara the Siren, FL4K the Beastmaster, Moze the Gunner, and Zane the Operative–wreaking havoc and causing mayhem as they attempt to thwart Troy and Tyreen Calypso’s evil plans. It’s a dazzling display of lights and explosions and chaos, all soundtracked to Queen’s “Seven Seas of Rhye” from the band’s 1973 debut album Queen and the 1974 follow-up Queen II.

The critics have spoken and we’ve compiled a roundup of Borderlands 3 reviews from various publications. In our Borderlands 3 review we said, “The game’s character-driven narrative acts as a satisfying finale for the loot-shooter franchise, and the new mechanics and features–especially the reworked skill trees and weapon manufacturer effects–give you plenty of agency in how you want to play through it. If you’ve never been a fan of the franchise, it’s unlikely Borderlands 3 does enough things differently to change your mind, as the game best excels at continuing what the series has always done: deliver a humorous tall tale of misfits looting and shooting their way to heroism.”

Borderlands 3 may be just on the horizon, but developer Gearbox already has plans for the game’s first wave of post-release content. These include a Halloween-themed limited-time event called Bloody Harvest, a much larger update called Maliwan Takedown, and the first of its major DLC expansions all launching before the end of 2019, with more content likely to come in 2020.

All September long, IGN is highlighting the best TV coming your way in the 2019-2020 season. Today, we’re spotlighting Amazon’s Undone, described by the streaming service as a “half-hour, genre-bending, animated dramedy that explores the elastic nature of reality through its central character, Alma, a twenty-eight-year-old living in San Antonio, Texas. After getting into a car accident and nearly dying, Alma finds she has a new relationship to time. She develops this new ability in order to find out the truth about her father’s death.” Here, co-creator Kate Purdy tells us about her inspiration for the series and its distinctive animation style.

Nintendo gave us another look at Pokemon Sword and Shield during its latest Direct presentation. While the segment focused primarily on trainer customization and camping, it seems Nintendo may have also inadvertently revealed the games will feature autosaves.

During the Pokemon portion of the latest Nintendo Direct, eagle-eyed fans spotted the words “now saving” in the upper right corner of the screen when the player character enters a fashion boutique (via Eurogamer), which seems to suggest the games will automatically save at various points while you’re playing. The moment in question occurs at around the 45-second mark in the video below.

If Sword and Shield do indeed utilize autosaves, they will be the first mainline games in the series to have the feature. However, it’s still unclear if the titles will only feature one save slot, as all past mainline Pokemon games have, or if there will be separate slots for the autosaves, as in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Whatever the case, we do know that autosaves won’t be replacing manually saving in Sword and Shield; at around the 1:20 mark in the same video, you can see a dedicated Save option when the menu screen is pulled up.

Similarly, the upcoming Animal Crossing: New Horizons is also the first installment in its series to make use of autosaves. In fact, Switch’s autosave function is the reason Mr. Resetti will be out of a job in New Horizons. In the past, the irritable mole would pop up and lecture a player if they quit the game without saving, but thanks to autosaves, his role is now redundant. However, game director Aya Kyogoku teases that Mr. Resetti is looking for a new job and may yet appear in the upcoming title.

Pokemon Sword and Shield launch for Switch on November 15, just a few days after Nintendo releases a special Pokemon edition Nintendo Switch Lite.
