With the coming wave of announcements at E3, now’s as good a time as any to prepare your home gaming experience for the onslaught of great new games. There’s no better way to do this than to upgrade to a shiny new 4K TV. Thankfully, LG, Sony and Walmart have you covered, as they are running a special discount, slashing prices on some TVs by as much as 40%.
Legitimate discovery is a difficult sensation to simulate in a video game. Countless worlds smother us with lore and histories, giving us the opportunity to understand them better if we choose to stop and smell the roses, but that understanding is usually optional, and often feels superficial as a result. That’s a problem that Outer Wilds, a space-exploration sim laced with puzzles and a mystery story, sidesteps by putting the storytelling that normally litters the background of games front and center. That makes it feel vital. By turning lore into puzzle elements into progress, into the meat of the experience rather than the dressing, it elevates the process of learning about these worlds to heights rarely seen in games.
A new poster for Masters of the Universe confirms the film is on track to hit its March 2021 release date.
Reported by Collider, the poster is extremely simple, including a silver, glimmering logo for the film, with the words “The Power Returns March 2021” written below. The simplicity of the poster can be chalked up to its use as a promo poster for the upcoming Licensing Expo, which studios use to strike marketing deals with brands outside of the film industry.

Marc Webb, director of The Amazing Spider-Man, Gifted and 500 Days of Summer, is reportedly Disney’s top choice to helm a live-action remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Reported by Variety, Webb is currently in talks with Disney for this position. Erin Cressida Wilson, known for her work on The Girl on the Train, is in negotiations to write the film’s script. The project is said to expand on the original film’s story and music, with La La Land and The Greatest Showman’s Benj Pasek and Justin Paul set to write new songs. Marc Platt is signed on to produce. Disney revealed this live-action adaptation was in the works back in 2016.
A new week-long event is kicking off soon in Pokemon Go. Niantic is holding another Adventure Week beginning Tuesday, June 4, and it’ll give players a chance to earn extra rewards, catch some rare Rock-types, and even find a couple of new Shiny Pokemon.
During Adventure Week, Geodude, Rhyhorn, Omanyte, Aron, Lileep, Anorith, and other Rock Pokemon will appear in the wild much more frequently than normal. You’ll also be able to hatch certain Rock-types–such as Onix, Larvitar, Lileep, Anorith, and Shieldon–from 2 km Eggs, and Onix and other Rock Pokemon will appear in Raid Battles. On top of that, you’ll have your first chance to catch Shiny versions of Onix, Lileep, and Anorith.
In addition to increased Rock Pokemon spawns, you’ll earn four times the usual amount of Buddy Candy during Adventure Week, as well as a whopping 10 times the usual amount of XP the first time you spin the Photo Disc at a new PokeStop. If you have Adventure Sync turned on, you’ll also be able to earn 50,000 Stardust and 15 Rare Candies when you walk 50 km.
Finally, Niantic is distributing special Field Research tasks during Adventure Week. As usual, you’ll be able to collect these tasks by spinning the Photo Disc at PokeStops. Adventure Week is scheduled to end at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET / 9 PM BST on June 11. You can read more about the event on the official Pokemon Go website.
Adventure Week isn’t the only Pokemon Go event on the horizon. The game’s next Community Day will take place on Saturday, June 8. The featured Pokemon this month will be Slakoth; not only will it appear in the wild more frequently than normal, it will also be able to learn an event-exclusive move if you manage to evolve it into its final form, Slaking, up to an hour after the event ends. The Legendary Pokemon Cresselia has also returned for a limited time.
The Pokemon Company held a press conference earlier this week, where it announced a handful of new Pokemon games and services, including a new app called Pokemon Sleep that aims to “turn sleep into entertainment.” To coincide with the announcement, the Sleeping Pokemon Snorlax is spawning in the wild in Pokemon Go until June 3.
Outside of a rather unceremonious title reveal at last year’s EA press conference at E3, not much was known about Jedi: Fallen Order until this year’s Star Wars Celebration convention in Chicago, where developer Respawn Games blew the lid off the game with an hour-long live panel in front of a packed Star Wars loving crowd. At the panel, Respawn debuted a new cinematic trailer, discussed some big story, setting, and character details, and even unveiled the game’s new droid, an adorable little robot named BD-1 who looks like a sentient version of Luke Skywalker’s Macrobinoculars from A New Hope. We learned that the story features new Star Wars hero Cal Kestis, a Jedi padawan trying his best to lay low after the Empire’s Order 66 was enacted to (almost successfully) wipe out all Jedi from the galaxy.
Bungie is set to reveal “the next chapter of Destiny 2” next week.
Per an official post on Twitter, the reveal will happen on June 6 at 10am PT/1pm ET/6pm UK/3am June 7 AEST, though no other details were announced. The image used behind the text is dark and hard to discern, and appears to largely consist of white smoke.
