Destiny 2 Ascendant Challenge Location (Dec. 18-25) Video Guide

The latest weekly reset in Destiny 2 brings a new activity with the opening of the third of the Black Armory’s Forges. If you’re still looking to grind your Power level up to take on the new content, you’ve got another week’s Ascendant Challenge. This rewards you with Powerful gear, but you’ll both need to know where to go and be well-equipped to complete it. You have until the next weekly reset on December 25 to complete this.

Ascendant Challenges require you to use a Tincture of Queensfoil while in the Dreaming City. This will allow you to see and travel through a portal to the Ascendant Plane (this one is located in a part of Rheasilvia, the Harbinger’s Seclude), where you’re faced with a tough challenge. This one involves a lot of platforming, a relic weapon, and a bunch of Taken enemies. You can see where to go and what to do in the video above.

Along with the new Forge, this also marks the second week of Destiny 2’s holiday event, The Dawning, so check out our guide on how to bake holiday cookies and unlock the Dawning Cheer sparrow.

Big Free Warframe Update Out Now On PC, And It Adds A Giant Spider Boss

Digital Extremes has released a new content update for Warframe on PC. The Profit Taker, the first big update for Warframe’s Fortuna expansion, is available to download now for free from Steam, and it introduces a new Warframe, missions, robotic spiders, and more to the online action game.

Headlining the update is the eponymous Profit-Taker, a giant mechanical spider boss described as “one of the Fortuna’s biggest enemies.” The Profit-Taker is a formidable foe, and to take it on, players will need to complete new missions to earn the Archguns. These powerful weapons could previously only be equipped while in space, but players can now unlock them for their Warframes while on foot.

On top of that, Digital Extremes has introduced a new Warframe to the game: Baruuk. Described as a “pacifist by nature,” Baruuk is capable of lulling enemies into sleep and summoning daggers that seek out and destroy enemy guns.

Rounding out the update, Digital Extremes has added three new Echo-Lures, which players must use to save three new creatures. Doing so will reward them with new Floofs and a Conservation Badge. The developer has also added new weapons, mods, and customization items, as well as new Operator Amps and Arcanes. You can read more about the update on the official Warframe website.

Fortuna: The Profit Taker is currently only available on PC, but Digital Extremes says the update will arrive for PS4 and Xbox One “soon.” Meanwhile, the Fortuna expansion will release for the Nintendo Switch version of the game in 2019.

Nintendo Switch Breaks Huge US Sales Record

Nintendo Switch has broken a huge sales record in the US. The Japanese publisher states its hybrid console has sold more units after 20 months in the region than any other current-gen system did after the same period.

Citing data from sales monitor NPD Group, Nintendo says it’s sold “more than 8.7 million [Switch] units” in the US alone, as of the end of November 2018. The company also says it is “the overall top-selling US software publisher so far for 2018.” These data do not include the sales figures of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, which is the fastest-selling Switch game to date–the fighting game has sold over 3 million units in the US already, according to Nintendo’s own data.

Elsewhere in its press release, Nintendo offered an update into US sales of its other first-party titles. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has sold over 4 million units, while Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has sold more than 5 million. Super Mario Odyssey has reached the 4.7 million sales mark. Pokemon: Let’s Go Eevee and Let’s Go Pikachu have sold 2 million units combined and Super Mario Party has sold 1.4 million copies so far.

Looking ahead, Nintendo has some big games coming out in 2019. The year kicks off with New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe in January, before other big titles such as Luigi’s Mansion 3, Yoshi’s Crafted World, and Pokemon for Switch come to the console later in the year. For more on the latter, check out everything we know about Pokemon for Switch.

How the R-Rated Hellboy’s New Look Was Designed

Hellboy is coming to the big screen in a big way, with a new R-rated take on the titular hero. Starring David Harbour as the beast in red, this adaptation of Hellboy heads straight to the comics for inspiration, with creator Mike Mignola acting as consultant and executive producer on the project.

Of course, this isn’t the first time Hellboy has come to the big screen, and the creative team is actively working to differentiate this version of the beloved character from Guillermo del Toro’s previous films featuring Ron Perlman. IGN spoke with Academy Award-winning makeup designer Joel Harlow to discuss this new iteration of Hellboy.

“I love the Del Toro films and absolutely appreciate all the characters that were brought to life in them. It’s a tough act to follow for sure, so we all made a conscious decision to not reference any of the live action versions that came before. We focused on the artwork and the comics,” Harlow told IGN.

Smash Bros. Ultimate Sets New Sales Record For The Series

The latest installment in Nintendo’s mascot fighting series, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, is off to an impressive start. The game launched for Switch earlier this month and has already shattered sales records around the globe, becoming the company’s fastest-selling home console game in Europe and breaking other records for the series in the US.

According to Nintendo of Europe, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s total sales in the region over its first three days of availability have been “almost 30% higher” than Mario Kart Wii, which would go on to become one of the company’s best-selling games of all time. Nintendo also notes that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the fastest-selling game in the Eshop “ever.”

Ultimate’s had an equally impressive start overseas as well. In its first 11 days on the market, the game has sold more than 3 million units in the US alone, based on Nintendo’s internal sales data. That makes it the fastest-selling Nintendo Switch game in the region to date, as well as the fastest-selling entry in the entire Super Smash Bros. series.

Other Nintendo Switch games have had impressive sales in the US as well. The console’s recent Pokemon RPGs, Let’s Go Pikachu and Let’s Go Eevee, have sold a combined two million units in the region, while Super Mario Party has sold 1.4 million.

Last year’s biggest Switch releases have likewise hit new sales milestones in the US. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has sold more than 4 million units, Super Mario Odyssey has sold 4.7 million, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has sold more than 5 million. Moreover, the Switch itself continues its impressive moment; in November, Nintendo moved more than 8.7 million consoles according to the NPD Group.

New Movies This Week: What To See In Theaters And On Streaming (12/19-12/24)

There might not be a new Star Wars hitting theaters this December, but there’s no shortage of big, crowd-pleasing movies to choose from. Last weekend saw the animated Spider-Man movie Into The Spider-Verse smash records, but its place at the top of the box office chart is likely to be short lived. In the US, there are three of the season’s most-anticipated films hitting theaters this weekend–DC’s Aquaman, Disney sequel Mary Poppins Returns, and Transformers spin-off Bumblebee.

DC’s last movie, Justice League, might have underperformed a year ago, but Aquaman has already made $266 million worldwide before it even opens in the US, and there is clearly plenty of interest in Jason Momoa’s mad undersea adventure.The original Mary Poppins has now become a perennial family classic, so Mary Poppins Returns is likely to appear to both younger viewers and older audiences who have grown up with the first movie. As for Bumblebee, a year ago it looked like Transformers series might be on its last legs, with the critically panned and commercially disappointing The Last Knight leading Paramount to cancel plans for its ongoing universe. But the more family-friendly, smaller-scale approach of the ’80s-set Bumblebee has potentially saved the franchise, with strong reviews and impressive box office predictions suggesting that we are likely to see more Transformers movies in the same vein.

Away from the blockbusters, the highly acclaimed period romance Cold War gets its US release, while prison escape remake Papillion debuts on UK screens. Over on Netflix, we have the sci-fi thriller Bird Box, which stars Sandra Bullock and Trevante Rhodes. This has been Netflix’s highest profile year so far in terms of its own movie productions, and hopefully it will end 2018 on a high note. So here’s the week’s new releases in the both the US and UK, in both theaters and on streaming…
