The latest weekly reset in Destiny 2 has brought back another Ascendant Challenge. Like those in the past, you’ll be traveling to a hidden location, from which you can travel to the Ascendant Plane. In the video above, we show you exactly where to go and what you should expect once you get inside.
As always, you’ll want to start out by grabbing the corresponding bounty from Petra. Once you do, you’ll need to use a Tincture of Queensfoil, which provides you with the Ascendance buff for a limited time. This allows you to see the Taken portal you’ll need to travel through–but you first have to find it, which the video above will help you do. It’s located inside a Lost Sector near the Dreaming City landing zone. Go partway through and you’ll find the portal. Inside, you’ll have to platform your way to an area with a pair of wizards. Take them out to complete the challenge and the bounty, which rewards you with Powerful gear.

The number includes both physical and digital copies across all platforms since its launch on January 29.

The Game of Thrones prequel TV show will start filming early this summer, HBO has confirmed. Programming president Casey Bloys confirmed the production start time with Entertainment Weekly.
This matches up with the timeline that Bloys confirmed previously when he stated that the untitled prequel show was pegged to begin production in the first half of 2019.
Jessica Jones director SJ Clarkson is directing the show, which will star Naomi Watts. Importantly, what’s being filmed is only the single pilot episodes; additional episodes have yet to be ordered.
X-Men: First Class’ Jane Goldman is the showrunner for the new Game of Thrones show. Goldman created the concept for the show alongside writer George R.R. Martin. According to EW, while only one episode has been ordered so far, the writers are already working on more scripts for future episodes in the event that HBO decides to pick it up to become a series.
The show isn’t expected to air until at least a year after Game of Thrones ends, so that means it may not come out until 2020 or 2021. It’s also possible the show doesn’t get picked up to series.
Here is the official description for the new prequel show: “Taking place thousands of years before the events of Game of Thrones, the series chronicles the world’s descent from the golden Age of Heroes into its darkest hour. And only one thing is for sure: from the horrifying secrets of Westeros’s history to the true origin of the white walkers, the mysteries of the East to the Starks of legend… it’s not the story we think we know.”
In other news, HBO teamed up with Bud Light for a wacky Super Bowl commercial promoting both the beer and the final season of Game of Thrones. The eighth and final season premieres in April.

Respawn, the developer behind Titanfall and Titanfall 2, has released a new battle royale game called Apex Legends. Much like Fortnite, Apex will have a Battle Pass, and it works just like the one in Epic’s battle royale game.
Although the game is already out, Apex’s first Battle Pass won’t launch until March. Each season runs for about three months, with the start of Apex’s season two scheduled for June, season three for September, and season four for December. Respawn has not announced the exact dates that each of these seasons start, but they have revealed what buying a Battle Pass will get you.
Like Fortnite, each Battle Pass includes a collection of limited-time cosmetic items. Each Apex Battle Pass will include around 100 different rewards, which you can unlock through playing the game. Several items in each season can be unlocked without the need to purchase a pass, but you’ll need to buy one in order to earn everything. Once you unlock something, it’s yours to keep–even in following seasons. Every Battle Pass will only include exclusive, seasonal cosmetic items and random Apex Packs, the latter of which is an assortment of weapon and Legends skins of various rarities. So you won’t miss out on unlocking new Legends if you don’t buy the Battle Passes.
Apex Legends implements similar mechanics and features from previous battle royale games, but adds its own spin on the formula as well. In Apex, you have to fight in squads of three, and each member of your team will control one of eight unique Legends (all of which have some pretty cool Legendary skins). Although every Legend can use any of the weapons and equipment scattered throughout the map, each one has their own unique assortment of abilities–much like Heroes in Overwatch or Operators in Rainbow Six: Siege.

Although Titanfall’s staple wall-running and Titans aren’t in Apex, the game does incorporate other elements from Respawn’s franchise, such as vaulting, sliding, no fall damage, and traversing great distances with jump jets. Almost as if a play on the developer’s name, you’re also able to respawn in Apex, as your teammates can bring you back from the dead–albeit without any of your loot–if they act fast enough.
Apex Legends is free-to-play and available for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
