Update: Nintendo just published the official 15-minute video showcasing everything that’s in the spring 2019 update for Smash Ultimate, including all the Persona-related content coming to the game. The update launches April 17 as $6 DLC.

The main character from the wonderfully great RPG Persona 5, codenamed Joker, should be coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate any day now. It’s been said that he’ll be joining the battle as the 70th character on the roster sometime this month, but to hold you off until then, you can check out his official character render for the game below.

It’s the same character model that was first leaked by Best Buy, but it can now be dug up on Nintendo of Europe’s official page for Smash Bros. Ultimate. This came to our attention via a tweet from users @PushDustIn and @Digita1Lucas. You can see him out in all his glory, sporting his Phantom Thieves get-up when he enters the Metaverse.

I confirmed this myself by digging through the page’s source code which was also shown by Twitter user @RealHeroOfWinds.

It’s legit.

Joker’s arrival in Smash Ultimate will coincide with the game’s version 3.0 spring 2019 update. This isn’t the only Persona 5-related news that you should be hyped up for. During a two-day special live concert, called Persona Super Live: P-Sound Street 2019 in Japan, details on a new version of the RPG titled Persona 5: The Royal will be revealed on day one, April 24. On the second day, April 25, the show will reveal the true form of the mysterious game Persona 5 S.

The Xbox One S All Digital Edition is finally confirmed, and it’s making a lot of people ask themselves whether the future of gaming is digital, and what we’d be missing out on if we abandoned discs altogether. In a new video feature, Jess and Eddie discuss the pros and cons of the new disc-less Xbox One and what it means for Microsoft’s vision of gaming’s future.

In the video, we dig into all the key particulars about the console including how its lack of a disc-drive might not be for everyone, the price being potentially too high, and if the 1 TB hard drive is indeed big enough.

We also talk about how Microsoft’s digital subscription services like Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Live Gold factor into the console, and how the new disc-free system is just an option for those looking to press further into the digital future.

The All-Digital Edition launches on May 7 for $250 USD. Are you interested in the new system? Let us know in the comments below!

In a big change for E3, Sony has backed out of the show this year. Microsoft and Nintendo are still attending as representatives of “The Big Three,” but Microsoft’s broadcast is the only live show of the bunch. Nintendo’s is a pre-recorded Nintendo Direct. Xbox executive Phil Spencer talked about this unique setup today on the latest episode of Inside Xbox.

He said he and his team understand the “responsibility” of being the only one of The Big Three to have a live stage show presence as it relates to representing the gaming industry at a time when all eyes on the gaming business.

“This is going to be an interesting one,” he said. “We are the [only] platform-holder that has a live stage show. It’s kind of just us this year. I feel the responsibility of that. I want to represent gaming. I think it’s an important time where the larger community–news [organisations] and other things–are looking at the gaming industry at E3.

“I think it’s a time where we kind of pop above a lot of the noise that’s out there. The whole team, we’re taking the responsibility of being out there representing gaming and wanting to do a good job of that.”

Microsoft is rumoured to announce at least one next-generation console at E3 this year, while the company is also expected to discuss Halo Infinite–or at least its engine–at the event. We also recently learned that Microsoft will show off never-before-seen games from some of the studios it acquired recently during the show. There will of course also be surprises.

Microsoft’s E3 2019 briefing takes place on Sunday, June 9, at 1 PM PT.

While Sony won’t be at E3 2019, that doesn’t mean the company has no announcements to make. Just this week, executive Mark Cerny shared the first details about the PlayStation 5, and you can bet the company will talk more about the console at some point in the future.

The latest update for the mobile version of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds adds a new zombie mode. The update also revamps PUBG Mobile’s existing zombie mode, Survive Till Dawn.

The new mode, Darkest Night, sees you or your team facing off against waves of zombie hordes and emerging poison gas. In Darkest Night, you spawn in a random spot on the map. Every player is given a passive ability to help them and others survive, and you choose whether to work together or operate solo. There is no final victor in Darkest Night. Anyone still alive at the end of every wave is a winner.

Survive Till Dawn 2 remakes the PUBG Mobile and Resident Evil 2 crossover event from last year. New enemy types and weapons have been introduced, tweaking the strategies you’ll need to survive the changing day and night cycle. The full changes are outlined below.

Survive Till Dawn Changes

• Stun Grenades now also stun zombies
• Added Liquid Nitrogen Grenades to freeze enemies and reduce their movement speed
• Added jumping zombies and zombie dogs
• Some zombies can now climb over low walls or onto roofs
• Added RPG-7 and Jungle Style Magazines
• Flamethrowers now deal more damage
• M134 handling has been tuned
• Players will gain affixes that grant certain buffs
• Zombies now move slower after being hit by firearms
• Added Survive Till Dawn quick chat messages to Default and Classic voice packs
• Daily missions can now be completed in Survive Till Dawn

In Survive Till Dawn, 60 players face off in a 30-minute battle royale match divided into three days and two nights. Zombies roam the world as well, but become much more active at night when it’s almost impossible to see. To make matters worse, certain Resident Evil 2 enemies like William Birkin and Tyrant patrol the world as unbeatable foes. Birkin guards the loot-heavy police station, while Tyrant randomly appears around air drops and pursues those who try to claim items from them.

The full patch notes detail additional changes to PUBG Mobile as well, such as crosshair modifications. PUBG Mobile is available on the App Store and Google Play.
