Fortnite Season 6 Week 3 challenges go live on April 1 at 6 am PT / 9 am ET, and among them is a challenge that asks you to defeat one of three particular NPCs: Raptor, Zenith, or Blackheart. The Fortnite map features dozens of NPCs that gift you items, assign additional quests, and trade you Gold Bars, but this challenge doesn’t require anything like that. You just need to defeat one of them. Here are the locations for Raptor, Zenith, and Blackheart.

Where To Find Raptor, Zenith, And Blackheart

Raptor can be found at the Crash Site, a landmark on the eastern cliffs beside Coral Castle. He’s wearing a yellow ski mask standing among plane wreckage.

Zenith is located at the Weather Station, a landmark atop a snowy mountain south of Catty Corner. He’s dressed appropriately for the cold with a winter jacket and face mask.

Blackheart can be found at the Viking longboat just west of Holly Hedges. He’s usually on the top deck but he does walk around the ship at times. Though it’s a Viking ship he resides in, Blackheart is dressed more like a traditional pirate. You can always find these NPCs at their respective locations seen in the map below.

Comcast’s NBCUniversal is reportedly weighing pulling its own movies from non-Peacock streaming services and bringing them home to its own platform, according to Bloomberg. Such a move would likely also bring with it a guarantee that future film releases from the company would be on Peacock either exclusively or for an initial window of exclusivity.

According to unnamed sources, NBCUniversal hasn’t yet made a final decision, and senior executives there “are open to new deals with third parties like HBO Max and Netflix,” in deals that would be expected to generate hundreds of millions of dollars a year. As Bloomberg correctly points out, this strategy indicates a fair bit about Peacock’s thinking moving forward and also its assessment of its success so far since launching last July. While the nearly year-old service has amassed roughly 33 million accounts, it’s also yet to make original programming as big of a budget priority as some rivals. However, Peacock has invested in and also planted flags with WWE content and streaming PPV events, and it will also have the Olympics streaming as well.

Of course, the pandemic has been a huge unpredictable wrench in whatever plans NBCUniversal may have had for Peacock. Back in December, Warner Bros. made a bold move to potentially change movie-going as we know it when it suddenly announced it would put its entire theatrical line-up onto streaming in 2021–a first move that’s set into motion many dominoes finding many major players in the space both rethinking and doubling down on betting which way streaming’s future might go. As of this writing, a top Netflix executive said they think exclusive theatrical windows will go away; Warner Bros., intriguingly, still thinks they’re important.

While The Office’s return to Peacock was met with much fanfare–and a reboot may happen, as well–something that’s been noticeably absent from discussion of Peacock is its original content. Peacock ended its first year in the business very much in the red with a $914 million loss in 2020, and reclaiming its other content may demonstrate a lack of understanding that as streaming services increasingly snatch up the expiring rights to the same movies and TV shows, an expectation of the strategy with all platforms to be worth paying to be a member is their ability to cultivate a healthy ecosystem of original content.

The next film installment in the Resident Evil franchise, titled Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, has had its release date pushed back to November 24, 2021.

The new release date is a two-month delay, as the movie was originally going to hit theaters on September 3. The new November 24 release means the film will hit theaters the day before Thanksgiving in the United States.

GameSpot has reached out to Sony for further information about the delay. We’ll report back with any additional details we receive.

The film is written and directed by Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down) and will star Kaya Scodelario (Crawl), Hannah John-Kamen (Ant-Man and the Wasp), Robbie Amell (Upload), Tom Hopper (Black Sails), Avan Jogia (Zombieland: Double Tap), and Neal McDonough (The 100).

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City takes place in the titular midwestern town which was once home to the pharmaceutical company the Umbrella Corporation. The company left and the city is a wasteland, and there is a “great evil brewing below the surface.” Of course, said evil is unleashed upon the town and a group of survivors is trying to uncover the mystery behind it all–which leads back to Umbrella. The goal of the movie was to add a lot more depth to these characters fans are familiar with.

The official title of the movie was revealed this past month, and we learned that Welcome to Raccoon City will be a grounded story, according to Roberts. There is a lot coming down the pipeline for RE fans, with Resident Evil Village arriving in May, an animated RE Netflix series following Leon and Claire, and a live-action Netflix series that follows the Wesker family

WWE’s biggest PPV of the year is none other than Wrestlemania 37, which is coming to Peacock on April 10 and 11. The two-night event will see wrestlers from Smackdown and Raw battle each other on the biggest stage of the year.

2021’s Wrestlemania will span two nights, much like last year’s, taking place at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. However, this year, you’ll be able to attend the event live if you so chose–but you’ll have to buy groups of tickets as social distancing will be in place.

If you can’t or won’t attend the live event, you’ll probably want to watch from the safety and comfort of your own couch. If you live in the United States or Australia, Wrestlemania airs at a reasonable hour. If you live in the UK, we’re very sorry if you want to watch live because it’s going to be two long mornings for you. Check out some global start times below.

Start time on April 10 and 11:

• 5 PM PT
• 7 PM CT
• 8 PM ET
• 1 AM BST (April 11, 12)
• 10 AM AEST (April 11, 12)

Of course, these start times are for the main card. Typically, WWE has a Kickoff Show–which has been two hours long in the past for Wrestlemania–that airs on Twitter and YouTube for free. It’s unknown how long this year’s Kickoff Show will be, but there should be a match or two on each one on both nights. We’ll keep you updated as we learn more.

How to watch:

For years, the best way to watch WWE PPVs was by signing up for the WWE Network, the company’s streaming service. And while people outside of the United States can still do that, folks in the US will have to access Wrestlemania through NBCUniversal’s streaming service Peacock–as the WWE Network service will have ended by then.

Peacock will be the new home to WWE content for now, with classic episodes of Raw, Smackdown, and NXT available to watch on demand. Additionally, Peacock will live stream major events and you can check out the backlog of WWE PPVs, original content, and plenty of other things that were available on the WWE Network.

Sign up for Peacock

Peacock has multiple subscription tiers, including a free option

See at Peacock TV

In order to watch WWE PPVs on Peacock, you’ll need a Premium or Premium Plus account, which costs money. A Premium account is ad-supported but only costs $5 a month, and a Premium Plus account has no ads–there’s some small exceptions to that rule though–and costs $10 a month. Peacock also has original series and like other services, as a catalog of movies and TV shows. However, Peacock also will be live streaming the Tokyo Olympics this summer, which is a big plus for fans.

Wrestlemania 37 match card:

The Wrestlemania 37 card is already pretty stacked, with 12 matches already booked. At the time of this writing, the Smackdown Tag Team Championship match has not been booked and neither has the Women’s Tag Team Championship. Additionally, it would be great to see some NXT titles celebrated at this event, but that doesn’t look like it’s in the cards. Here is what is booked for the show so far.

Night 1:

• Bobby Lashley (c) vs. Drew McIntyre – WWE Championship
• Sasha Banks (c) vs. Bianca Belair – Smackdown Women’s Championship
• Bad Bunny vs. The Miz
• Cesaro vs. Seth Rollins

Night 2:

• Roman Reigns (c) vs. Edge vs. Daniel Bryan – Triple Threat for Universal Championship
• The Fiend vs. Randy Orton
• Asuka (c) vs. Rhea Ripley – Raw Women’s Championship
• Matt Riddle (c) vs. Sheamus – United States Championship
• Big E (c) vs. Apollo Crews – Intercontinental Championship
• Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn

No night assigned yet:

• The New Day (c) vs. AJ Styles & Omos – Raw Tag Team Championship
• Braun Strowman vs. Shane McMahon (Steel Cage Match)

Predictions:

Who will win? Who will lose? These are two questions people are probably asking about Wrestlemania. And while GameSpot’s wrestling podcast Wrestle Buddies will be giving you predictions for Wrestlemania next week in a special episode, check out our Fastlane 2021 predictions where we discuss how these matches will lead into the April PPV. A couple of these predictions are right on the money, while others… not so much.

The Wrestlemania 37 predictions episode will be live next week.

Many blockbuster movies end with a post-credits teaser that sets up something to come in the future. Godzilla vs. Kong, which premieres in the US today, doesn’t have one, and the director has now explained why. Adam Wingard also touched on what he hopes to achieve with a sequel, should he get the opportunity to make one.

Speaking to Deadline, Wingard said he actually filmed a post-credits scene for Godzilla vs. Kong but instead of putting it at the end, the scenes he filmed were changed and placed at an earlier part of the movie for budget reasons. Viewers probably won’t even notice the scenes were originally meant to be a post-credits stinger, the director said.

“Truth is, during our main production we actually shot a post-credit scene. But we got to a point with the edit of the movie where we realized the movie ended at a certain point, but it wasn’t the right ending,” he said. “It didn’t tie up all the loose ends in a satisfying right way. We weren’t budgeted to shoot anything else. I had this ah-ha moment where I realized we have this post credit scene and if we tweak it and give it a slightly different context, we can use all the same footage.”

He added: “We were able to take that footage and use it in a different context, an example of my indie brain turning and able to save the final bit of the movie. You watch the film and you’d have no idea it was shot for a different purpose.”

While there is no post-credits sequence in Godzilla vs. Kong that sets up a sequel, the film itself has threads that tease what could happen next. Wingard said he’s hopeful he gets to make a sequel one day that dives deeper into Hollow Earth where the monsters live.

“I would absolutely love to continue. The clear starting point we teed up, exploring Hollow Earth, I think there is a lot more to do there,” he said. “This is a pre-history of Planet Earth, where all the titans come from. We tee up some mystery in this film, things I want to see resolved and explored and pushed to the next level. If I have the opportunity, I know what I will do. It’s up to Warner Bros and Legendary, if they have an appetite.”

You can watch Godzilla vs. Kong on HBO Max and in theaters right now. The movie is already off to a great start, pulling in more than $120 million from its foreign box office premiere to set a new pandemic-era record.

As for Wingard, news broke recently that he will direct a ThunderCats movie, while he’s also lined up to make the sequel to Face/Off.

Annapurna Television and HBO Max will co-produce a limited series adaptation of the true crime docuseries The Staircase, based on various books and reports about the originating case, according to a release. The Staircase is “an exploration of the life of Michael Peterson, his sprawling North Carolina family, and the suspicious death of his wife, Kathleen Peterson.”

The Staircase is co-written and co-executive produced by showrunners Antonio Campos (The Devil All the Time) and Maggie Cohn (American Crime Story), and will also star Colin Firth as novelist Michael Peterson. Said Campos, “This has been a project I have been working on in one way or another since 2008. It’s been a long and winding road, but well worth the wait to be able to find partners.”

“It is a thrill to collaborate with Antonio Campos, Maggie Cohn, and Annapurna Television for the exploration of this true-life story that’s rife with dramatic revelations,” said Sarah Aubrey, head of original content for HBO Max. “With the enormously talented Colin Firth at the center of this adaptation, the story of The Staircase will continue to captivate audiences with every bizarre twist and turn.”

No release or production start date has yet been announced for The Staircase. In the meantime, if true crime is your jam as a genre, check out our list of 18 great true crime shows and movies you can stream on Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu, and more.
