Epic Games Acquires Rocket League Studio Psyonix

Fortnite creator Epic Games has announced that it has acquired Psyonix, the studio behind the wildly successful Rocket League.

Psyonix revealed the news on its blog and promises that this will only bring about positive changes for Rocket League and its community. According to Psyonix, “Rocket League always has been and always will be a community-driven game, and now that we have joined forces with Epic, we will be able to serve our community in even bigger and better ways!”

As for these changes, in the short term Psyonix claims nothing will change at all. In the future, it plans on bringing Rocket League to the Epic Games store and will grow the game in ways it couldn’t do before.

Black Hole Nine Times Larger Than the Sun Is Pulling in Space and Time

Astronomers have noticed a black hole, known as V404 Cygni, 8,000 light years away that is pulling space into itself, according to a new study published by Nature and reported by CNN.

The black hole is nine times larger than the sun and its jets of plasma clouds – which are normal to come out of the poles from black holes – are shooting out in various directions at completely different rates, which is uncommon.

“This is one of the most extraordinary black hole systems I’ve ever come across,” lead author of the study and associate professor from the Curtin University’s International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research, James Miller-Jones said in a statement.

Where to Preorder the Oculus Quest Stand-Alone VR Headset

If you buy something through this post, IGN may get a share of the sale. For more, read our Terms of Use.

The Oculus Quest comes out May 21, and takes us one step closer to the VR-future of science fiction. In our Oculus Quest review, we called it the “true future of virtual reality.” It has no wires, no sensors, and doesn’t require a computer to work. It’s entirely self-contained, and even includes a pair of touch controllers, and you can preorder Oculus Quest right now.

You might need to make some adjustments to game graphics, given this isn’t a headset with the full power of a gaming PC, but the trade-off is minimal given how excellent it is playing VR games free from constraints. It even has an “Oculus Guardian system,” warning you if you’re about to trip over your coffee table or some other obstacle. You can still see the real world through the headset, too, so you can disappear and reappear into whatever reality you want like you’re Doctor Strange.

Batman Finds Triumph Amid Failure

More than ever, Batman seems like a comic better read in collected form than on an issue-by-issue basis. The most recent story arc was a major slog, featuring chapter after chapter of slow-paced examinations of Batman’s personal nightmares. While some of those individual issues were fantastic, the cumulative effect of so many introspective, plot-light stories in a row was numbing. The hope was that the series might finally regain some of its lost momentum with the transition to this new arc, “The Fall and the Fallen.” Unfortunately, for all that this issue gets right, it’s still a very slow burn for Bat-fans.

Having spent the entire previous arc trapped in a torture device and subjected to Scarecrow’s fear toxin, Batman is finally free. But he’s still trapped inside Arkham Asylum along with nearly every villain he’s ever put away. This issue follows the Caped Crusader as he battles his way back to the outside world, one bad guy at a time.
