DC Comics has teamed up with graphic novelist Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez for a comics anthology, with all proceeds generated by sales to be donated to outreach groups assisting with the relief efforts in Puerto Rico.
Miranda-Rodriguez created the Puerto Rican superhero, La Borinqueña, back in 2016. The character’s powers are “drawn from history” and the “mysticism found on the island of Puerto Rico.”
The anthology, titled Ricanstruction: Reminiscing and Rebuilding Puerto Rico, will see her team up with members of the Justice League in stories that centre around Puerto Rican history and culture.
A new Dragon Ball game is coming to iOS and Android devices. Bandai Namco unveiled Dragon Ball Legends during a presentation at this year’s Game Developers Conference, and now the publisher has shared the first trailer for the upcoming mobile fighting game.
The video, embedded below, showcases the simple but flashy battle system of the new mobile Dragon Ball game. Like the recently released Dragon Ball FighterZ, Legends is a three-on-three fighting game featuring a number of recognizable characters from the series, including Goku, Frieza, Piccolo, Nappa, Vegeta, and Pan, along with an entirely new character designed by Dragon Ball creator, Akira Toriyama.

To tailor the game for mobile devices, Dragon Ball Legends features a card-based interface. Different attacks are performed by tapping on the appropriate cards at the bottom of the screen, and combos can be unleashed by tapping the cards consecutively. The game also offers online PvP battles against other players around the world. Bandai Namco demonstrated an online match during its GDC presentation, which you can watch in the video at the top of this story.
Bandai Namco hasn’t announced a release date for Dragon Ball Legends, but the game is slated to arrive this summer. In the meantime, players can pre-register for it on the official Dragon Ball Legends website. As an added incentive to sign up, Bandai Namco will give away different in-game items depending on how many players pre-register.
Ahead of the game’s launch, Android users will have a chance to participate in two exclusive closed beta tests for Dragon Ball Legends. The first kicks off early next month, on April 6, with the second following a week later on April 13. Registration for the beta is open now until March 26. If you’re interested in taking part, you can sign up here, although not everyone who applies will be selected.
Dragon Ball Legends was announced at GDC this week, and Bandai Namco has revealed seven members of the roster – including a brand new charcater created for the game by the legendary Akira Toriyama.
The game’s website went live yesterday following a livestream, and in addition to Goku, Piccolo, Nappa, and Frieza (who we got a glimpse of during the GDC presentation) Pan, and Vegeta were also announced.
Pokemon Go’s Eggstravaganza event will return this week.
From March 22 until April 2, special 2KM eggs will be available containing Pokemon normally only available in 5KM and 10KM eggs, including Wynaut and Ralts.
Baby Pokemon like Pichu and Togepi will have increased hatch rates, and every egg hatched during the event will also give increased candy.
In addition, Stardust will be doubled during the event, and limited items like Star Pieces and Super Incubators will be available from the in-game shop, as well as limited sale boxes.
EA made a big decision when it removed the controversial microtransactions from Star Wars Battlefront II hours before its release. We knew they would eventually return in some modified form, and that day is nearly here. Developer DICE has released a major update for Battlefront II on PC, PS4, and Xbox One that paves the way for the revamped microtransactions and, in the meantime, makes significant changes to the game’s progression system.
DICE previously detailed all the ways in which progression is changing. You’ll only earn Star Cards and items that impact gameplay by playing; they can’t be purchased. That means crates no longer have Star Cards in them; instead, they have things like credits and cosmetic items. You’ll continue to have access to any items you already unlocked, and all heroes and hero ships have been unlocked for everyone. Additionally, Arcade mode will see all Epic Star Cards and weapons available for use without needing to unlock them first.
In April, Battlefront II will offer skins for purchase with credits or Crystals, the latter of which are purchased with real-world money. DICE makes it clear that these are purely cosmetic, so you won’t be able to pay your way to an advantage over other players, which was the concern with Battlefront II’s original microtransaction/loot box setup.
Another big addition in this update is a new map. The Bespin map from the previous Battlefront can now be played in certain modes–Blast, Heroes vs. Villains, and “for a limited time” in Jetpack Cargo. You can see it in the screenshot above.
Patch notes for the new update reveal further changes that have been made on the balance side. They’re too extensive to outline in full here, but they include a buff for Iden Versio, who gets a health increase. The Droid Shield’s active time has been increased, and her Pulse Cannon has been reworked to be more effective and work a bit differently (it does less explosive damage but is more accurate). Other heroes to be changed include Han Solo (who also gets more health), Boba Fett (who loses some forward thrust with Jetpack), and Leia (who now recovers health faster and with less delay).
Other balance changes of note include some specific weapon tweaks and map adjustments, such as certain vehicles increasing in price or spawn locations being moved to make things more fair for both sides. You can check out the full patch notes on the Battlefront forums.
The logo was revealed on a poster tweeted by the movie’s official Twitter account. There isn’t really anything on it apart from the logo, but it certainly has an explosive comic book look. Check it out below:
Although no official image of Shazam’s costume has been released yet, some on-set images of Levi in costume did leak last month. We might not have long have to wait until we see the first official image of the character; Sandberg recently predicted that an on-set image might leak from the shoot, and told fans on Reddit, “If someone had managed to snap a shot of the suit last week when we were shooting outside they would have released an official pic right away. Since we got away with it they want to do more of an official thing. And it’s right around the corner.”
Shazam first appeared in 1939, when he was known by the name Captain Marvel. The character was bought by DC in 1971, when he was renamed, due to Marvel’s ownership of the name Captain Marvel. A live-action Shazam TV show was broadcast in the mid-’70s, while an animated show followed in 1981.
Fortnite’s limited-time Blitz mode went live this week, and Epic has released an update to make building resources less plentiful.
Resources gained from looting and farming were reduced with yesterday’s hotfix.
“Having tons of resources is a blast, and our goal with the mode was to make it easier to gain resources due to the storm moving in so much faster,” Epic said in the announcement on Reddit.
“We believe that our initial resource numbers were a bit too abundant, and are making this adjustment to ensure there is still some risk/reward when farming in Blitz.”
The first poster for Toho Animation’s Godzilla anime sequel has been released, and it features Mecha Godzilla.
The image was revealed on Twitter and it features the sequel’s main cast of human characters, Godzilla, and of course the new Mecha Godzilla hinted at in the last film. The poster also teases a battle between the two Godzillas. Check out the poster below.

Nintendo has revealed it is looking to make games easier to discover on its digital eShop.
The publisher revealed the news during a press briefing at GDC 2018 in San Francisco.
According to Eurogamer, publisher relations manager Damon Baker noted that Nintendo is listening and acting on feedback from fans about the eShop.
“I can assure you steps are being taken over the course of the year to improve the functionality in terms of discoverability and visibility, to highlight all of that great content.”
Further, it was revealed that Nintendo’s digital sales are actually leapfrogging physical purchases in North America, putting them in the same wheelhouse as other digital publishers.
