Fortnite Week 7 Team Spirit Challenges (Season 10)

GameSpot may get a commission from retail offers.

Season 10 of Fortnite: Battle Royale continues with another new batch of challenges for Battle Pass holders to complete. Week 7’s set is called Team Spirit, and as the name suggests, this week’s missions all involve teaming up with other players.

As usual, only three challenges are available from the outset, with additional ones unlocking as you complete them. This week’s missions are all fairly straightforward as well–none of them require visiting certain areas or hunting down specific landmarks, although one challenge has you using the marking feature to highlight three items of different rarities. You can see the full list of Week 7 challenges below.

Once you’ve cleared all seven of the standard Team Spirit challenges, you’ll unlock a set of Prestige ones. These are more difficult versions of the regular challenges, so they’ll require a bit more work to complete, but each is likewise self-explanatory, so with a little persistence you should be able to clear them. Complete enough challenges and you’ll be another step closer to unlocking all of the Season 10 Battle Pass rewards.

A few weeks still remain in Season 10 of Fortnite, so there’s still some time to complete any weekly challenges from earlier in the season. If you need help mopping up any of those, we’ve gathered up all of our maps and guides for this season’s trickier missions in our complete Fortnite Season 10 challenges roundup.

Ahead of Week 7’s challenges, Epic rolled out Fortnite’s 10.30 update. This week’s patch introduced two more Rift Zone locations–Moisty Palms and the returning Greasy Grove–as well as a new limited-time mode called Knock Town. Epic has also vaulted the Burst SMG and, in its place, brought back the Tactical SMG. You can read the full patch notes on Epic’s website.

Dauntless Leaving Early Access This Month

GameSpot may get a commission from retail offers.

The free-to-play game Dauntless is finally launching out of early access on PC, PS4, and Xbox One this month. Phoenix Labs announced that the game will officially launch version 1.0 on September 26, alongside a new seasonal expansion called Aether Unbound.

The Aether Unbound update will bring a new weapon called the aether strikers, Hunt Pass, and a new Dire Behemoth “Tempestborne Stormclaw” to hunt. It will also introduce a new bounty system, giving you a new way to get experience for your hunts. The studio notes that it has more updates already in the works, and has laid out a public roadmap for future updates. The game is now available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, with a Nintendo Switch release coming this year.

“Since launching on console earlier this year, we’ve continuously iterated and improved Dauntless for players worldwide. In Fortune and Glory, we introduced a brand new game mode–Trials–complete with rewards for even the most skilled of Slayers. With Aether Unbound, we’re expanding the world even more with the addition of the Aether Strikers, Tempestborne Stormclaw, the Bounty system and more,” read a note from Phoenix CEO Jesse Houston. “Aether Unbound celebrates the culmination of the last 5 years of Dauntless development, but it is also the next step in our journey together. We have even more exciting content coming soon this year and beyond. More Behemoths, more weapons, more challenges, and more ways to slay.”

Dauntless officially launched on consoles earlier this year, after a lengthy open beta on PC. The game has you hunting down fantastical beasts for bounties and loot, drawing comparisons to Monster Hunter.

Star Wars: Did Snoke Want Luke Skywalker to Join Him Instead of Kylo Ren?

The ever-mysterious Snoke got a rare moment in the spotlight thanks to Star Wars: Age of Resistance – Supreme Leader Snoke #1 by writer Tom Taylor and artist Leonard Kirk, and the issue implies that Snoke’s master plan originally involved recruiting Luke Skywalker instead of Kylo Ren.

Warning: full spoilers ahead!

The one-issue story takes place before the events of The Force Awakens and sees Snoke travel to Dagobah to train his apprentice, Kylo Ren. As they approach the same Force cave Luke once visited in Empire Strikes Back, Snoke refers to Luke as “one of the most formidable Jedi,” which prompts an annoyed Kylo Ren to ask Snoke why he speaks of Luke with such respect.

The Witcher Netflix Show Release Date Leaked

A now-deleted post from Netflix’s Netherlands social media accounts has leaked what could be The Witcher’s release date.

Witcher enthusiast website Redanian Intelligence reports that a post on Netflix Netherlands’ Facebook and Twitter accounts detailed the release dates of 10 upcoming shows, with The Witcher among them. The dates were revealed by a “how many sleeps until…” format, with The Witcher listed at 97 sleeps to go.

By that count, The Witcher seems to be due for release on Netflix on December 17, 2019. The posts have now been deleted – potentially because of inaccurate information, or just because Netflix is not ready to reveal such information yet. As such, take this leak as a potential indication of release date, rather that solid confirmation.
