Fortnite’s The Block Will Feature Player Creations in Battle Royale

A new area named The Block has been added to the Fortnite Battle Royale map and will feature user created structures and creations.

Creative Director Donald Mustard shared the news on stage during today’s Game Awards presentation. The Block will feature player maps made in Creative, the brand new mode where players can build and customize their own private island. Epic will ultimately pick which creations are featured.

Not every private island will be eligible for The Block. User creations must fit neatly into a 25×25 tile area within the flat section of the island. Memory usage must be kept below 50,000 and chest, floor loot, and vehicle spawns will be added by Epic.

Double Fine’s Psychonauts 2 Gets New Trailer At The Game Awards

After relative radio silence from developer Double Fine, we finally got to see a new trailer for the upcoming Psychonauts 2. While the trailer–which you can watch above–featured a smattering of gameplay, it was mostly packed with story. Protagonist Rasputin stood front and center as he jumped to and fro on what we have to assume to be a mission as an officially sanctioned Psychonaut.

Other characters from the original appear. OG Psychonaut Ford Cruller appears to give Rasputin a lecture about the importance of being a Psychonaut. There’s some fun comedy and glimpses of other familiar faces set in-between some action-packed platforming. But the most intriguing part of it all was the mysterious figure that appears at the end, whom we can only assume is the main antagonist of the game. If that intrigues you, then be sure to check out the trailer and see it all yourself.

Psychonauts is expected to launched in 2019 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. It was actually first announced at The Game Awards in 2015 and was successfully crowdfunded on Fig, with more than 24,000 people contributing nearly $4 million to the project. Publisher Starbreeze will publish the game, while allowing Double Fine to retain the rights to the IP.

The original Psychonauts was released in 2005. Double Fine re-released the game on PS4, while the standalone VR adventure Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin launched for Sony’s PSVR.

Mortal Kombat 11 Announced, Release Date Confirmed

NetherRealm Studios has announced Mortal Kombat 11, the latest entry in its much loved fighting series. The announcement was made during The Game Awards, where series co-creator Ed Boon appeared to introduce an awards for sports/racing game. Except, this was a fakeout that led to a trailer for the game, which showed Scorpion fighting Raiden.

As you can probably guess, the trailer for Mortal Kombat 11 was typically brutal. With heads being removed from bodies and blood flowing freely. Interestingly, there was a significant amount of weapon usage during the video, and it’s not the typical stuff we expect from the characters. Raiden, for example, was wielding red lightning.

There was also multiple Scorpions. While the first one got taken out by Raiden, the second turned into a being of fire and flew threw Raiden, decimating him. It unclear what the presence of two Scorpion means yet, but it could be that Mortal Kombat 11 has some multi-universe shenanigans of some sort going.

Most excitingly, Mortal Kombat 11 got a release date of April 23, and it’s a global launch. NetherRealm will also be hosting a community reveal event on January 17, no doubt giving us a much longer look at the game.

For more announcements from the show–and there are many–check out our The Game Awards news roundup.

Here’s Your First Bloody Look at Mortal Kombat 11

Mortal Kombat 11 has been officially announced by NetherRealm Studios at The Game Awards, with a release date of April 23, 2019.

The trailer (teased by Ed Boon as an award for best sports/racing game), showed off a lot, including Scorpian vs Evil Raiden, weapons, classic Scorpion and best of all, lots and lots of gore. Check out the trailer below.

Though this is the first time we’ve seen Mortal Kombat 11, murmurings of its existence began in November after Spanish-language voice actor José Eduardo Garza Escudero tweeted his disappointment at being removed from the game by localization company Pink Noise Studios.
