Bethesda has shared some details on what to expect from Fallout 76 throughout the month of March. This includes plans to re-open the game’s Public Test Server–giving players a chance to test new features–and a handy refresher on the month’s upcoming community activities.
Fans have been awaiting the return of the Public Test Server (PTS) in order to get some hands-on playtesting with Fallout 76’s next update. Bethesda plans to re-open the PTS in mid-March, at which point players will be able to try out upcoming features such as S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Loadouts, C.A.M.P. Slots, the new Daily Ops expansion, and more.
Before then, however, is the Caps-A-Plenty weekend, which is currently live and runs until 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET / 5 PM GMT on March 8. This event allows you to fill up your coffers by visiting vendors throughout Appalachia and selling unwanted gear for up to 2,800 Caps per day.
There are also numerous community activities taking place during March. The first of which is the Community Spotlight, which goes live later today. This month, Bethesda is highlighting community member JessicaStar by featuring an interview with the podcast host, mod, CAMP builder, and live streamer on Fallout.com.
Next up, on March 15, players can submit their photos for consideration in the next round of Around Appalachia. This season’s theme is “Winter Silhouettes,” and challenges any players who fancy themselves as a photo mode expert.
Much like Around Appalachia, C.A.M.P. Creations is another community event that gives players the chance to see their creations highlighted on the official Fallout website. This month’s theme is “Settlers,” and it tasks builders with constructing creative new C.A.M.P.s. You can submit your Appalachian abodes here.
Bethesda also continues to run weekly streams for Fallout 76 every Wednesday at 10 AM ET / 1 PM ET / 6 PM GMT, where you can chat with members of the game’s community team.

The upcoming horror sequel A Quiet Place Part II will be released on May 28. The movie was previously set to arrive in September, but it has now been brought forward several months.
The new release date for A Quiet Place Part II was announced on Twitter by director John Krasinski, who stated, “They always say good things come to those who wait. Well… I think we’ve waited long enough.” Check it out below:

A Quiet Place Part II was originally set to be released in March last year and was one of the first films to be delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The movie was initially given a September 2020 release, before being pushed back an entire year in January.
The decision to move the film forward follows this week’s launch of Paramount+, the rebranding of ViacomCBS’s CBS All Access service. It was announced last month that big movies such as Mission Impossible 7, No Time To Die, and A Quiet Place Part II will be released onto the service 45 day after they hit theaters. A Quiet Place Part II can therefore be expected to be available on Paramount+ in early July, although a streaming release date has not been confirmed yet.
Theaters are starting to open more widely in both the US and internationally. Last week, New York City governor Andrew Cuomo announced that New York heaters can reopen at 25% capacity. This is the first time that they have been allowed to open in this key market since they closed in March last year. In addition, UK theaters are set to reopen on May 17, providing a series of conditions about hospitalization rates are met.
A Quiet Place: Part 2 stars Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, Noah Jupe, Djimon Hounsou, and Cillian Murphy. It’s written and directed by Krasinski, who also helmed the first movie. Check out the trailer here. There’s also a third movie in the works, to be directed by Jeff Nichols (Midnight Special).
In the wake of the Pyra/Mythra combination character releasing in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Nintendo has released a new update that buffs several characters with reduced vulnerability and less damage with special attacks.
You can look at the full table of changes on the official Nintendo support page, but the majority of the changes allow fighters to not take as much damage with powerful attacks or reduce their vulnerability. Fighters changed include:
Link
Captain Falcon
Jigglypuff
Zelda
Pichu
Ganondorf
Zero Suit Samus
Wario
Diddy Kong
King Dedede
R.O.B.
Villager
Little Mac
Mii Brawler
Mii Swordfighter
Mii Gunner
Palutena
Shulk
Isabelle
Joker
Hero
Banjo & Kazooie
Byleth
Min Min

Rex’s spirit can now be enhanced as part of the update, as well. The hero from Xenoblade Chronicles 2, where Pyra and Mythra also originated, Rex uses personified weapons in battle, and he was already an existing spirit in Smash.
If you have several controllers connected to your Switch, you can disconnect them via other controllers when using the fighter-selection screen. Just press the A button over the player bracket for the controller you’re not using, and it will disappear.

Star Wars fan Andrew Winegarner has created a comic book adaptation of Colin Trevorrow’s Star Wars Episode IX script “Duel of the Fates.”
In a recent Twitter post, Winegarner announced that he had been working on the project for “the past year.” He shared a link to the webcomic adaptation that he created after first illustrating two of his favorite scenes from Trevorrow and Derek Connolly’s leaked Episode IX script, involving battles between Rey and Hattaska Ren on Bonadan, and Ren against Vader on Remnicore.
After creating these initial comic strips, Winegarner took the rest of the story to the drawing board as he went on to create seven issues of his webcomic adaptation of Duel of the Fates. The first issue is fully colorized whilst the later issues feature black-and-white scenes, as the creator continues to fill out the details and bring the axed script to life.
Hey, Star Wars fans. I’ve been working the past year on a comic book adaptation of Colin Trevorrow’s Star Wars Episode IX script “Duel of the Fates” and I’d like you to check it out! (It will be 7 issues total when completed.)
Hope you enjoy it!https://t.co/XfrNX5wHvQpic.twitter.com/2Ay070L9oS
“Like many fans, I was disappointed with The Rise of Skywalker, a retread of Return of the Jedi that didn’t seem to follow the trajectory of the story set up in The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi,” Winegarner explained. “I was thrilled that Colin Trevorrow & Derek Connolly’s Duel of the Fates leaked, both the script and amazing pre-production artwork, which I incorporate into my adaptation.”
The leaked Duel of the Fates script opens in a time when the First Order has all but completely dominated the galaxy. Communication between planets has been cut off, leading the Resistance to hijack a Star Destroyer and launch a surprise attack on Coruscant in order to activate a hidden Jedi beacon that can pierce the First Order’s communication blockade and rally the Resistance’s allies.
Trevorrow confirmed that the leaked script was legitimate after concept art from his axed version of Episode IX surfaced online last year. The artwork depicted Force Ghost Luke Skywalker blocking Kylo Ren’s lightsaber with his hand, Rey using a double-bladed lightsaber to battle Ren, C-3PO comforting his severely damaged sidekick R2-D2, and General Leia Organa delivering a message to BB-8.
The Rise of Skywalker turned out to be completely different from Trevorrow’s version of Episode IX, and ultimately JJ Abrams’ version received mixed reviews from fans of the franchise, with some wishing that the movie had been split across two episodes. Even so, the final chapter in the long-spanning saga successfully managed to attract an audience as it crossed over $1 billion at the global box office.

Diablo 2: Resurrected players who still have access to their original Diablo 2 saves will be able to use them in the remaster.
In an interview with IGN Middle East, Diablo 2: Resurrected producer Matthew Cederquist confirmed the news, adding that Blizzard brute-forced the feature in and was surprised to find it worked.
“Back when we were working on [the remaster], we wondered if the old save files would work and we kind of shoved it in and it worked! And we were like, ‘okay, that’s the best feature ever,'” Cederquist said. This means players will be able to pick up where they left off if they still have access to the files, with all of the audiovisual upgrades exclusive to the remaster in tow.
The number of people who still have 20 year-old saves to hand is probably pretty slim, but it’s a lovely nod to how reverential the team is being about bringing the original game to modern machines. Resurrected is effectively playing the original game, with a layer of updated 3D clothing on top. As executive producer Rod Fergusson told us at BlizzCon, “it’s a remaster, not a remake. We wanted the game.”
Diablo 2: Resurrected will feature 4K graphics, 7.1 surround sound, upgraded 3D Models and remastered cutscenes when it launches later this year – but you’ll be able to switch back and forth between the original looks and the new ones with the press of a button. It will be available on a wide variety of platforms, including PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch.
This review contains spoilers for Marvel’s WandaVision episode 9, now available to view on Disney+. To remind yourself of where we left off, check out our WandaVision episode 8 review.
[poilib element=”accentDivider”]
After taking time out to revisit the past and retcon Wanda’s history, WandaVision returns to the present to cast one final spell. The series finale is simultaneously unexpected and exactly what many foresaw, using a surprising level of just-out-of-reach darkness to put a sting in an otherwise gently bittersweet tale. It sadly pulls some of its punches, which prevents it from being a true emotional gut punch of an ending, and also delivers possibly the worst joke in the MCU to date. But despite a little unevenness, WandaVision’s spell holds until the final moments, making for an enjoyable last outing with a wonderfully unusual couple.
The finale, at its core, is about the birth of the Scarlet Witch and the death of Vision. This makes for an emotionally turbulent finale, but not in the way many will have expected. The legacy of the Scarlet Witch is revealed to be an apocalyptic force foretold in Marvel’s book of the damned, the Darkhold, and so Wanda’s transformation is surprisingly haunting. The final end credits scene hammers this home, showing off what a strange, almost horrifying eldritch being the Scarlet Witch truly is. The double Wandas in this scene, acting independently, draws the character as the MCU’s answer to Watchmen’s Dr. Manhattan, which is effective nerd shorthand for what Wanda has become.
This has major implications for the future of the MCU, positioning Wanda as both a potential ultimate-level ally for heroes and a nuclear bomb waiting to detonate. That’s drawn straight from the comics, of course, but in the more contained cinematic version of this universe it works as a curveball. Rather than rising from her trauma and grief renewed, Wanda has embraced a form that risks her progress. This trades a sense of relief and closure for lingering danger and excitement, and is an unexpected and enjoyable way for WandaVision to close.
But this decision, along with Vision’s fate, does make the arc of the show feel somewhat incomplete. With the White Vision’s former memories unlocked, it seems inevitable that the two will be reunited in time. And by framing Vision’s death as a temporary goodbye rather than a heart wrenching farewell, there’s no sense of permanence nor consequence to Wanda’s actions. Perhaps these are all threads to be explored in further Scarlet Witch stories that examine her inner darkness, but it means the central story – one examining the grieving process – is left oddly unfinished. A promise – even a half one – of resurrection only serves to sugar coat the bitter lesson and reduce its impact. WandaVision has been so interesting because of its exploration of such a human quality, and to make this specific thread superhuman feels a misstep.
While not as emotionally devastating as it deserved to be, the finale does have plenty of touching moments. The conversation between the two Visions about the nature of existence and a person’s makeup is quintessential of the character, and just about makes up for WandaVision using the rote cliche of heroes fighting their evil reflections. And for the episode’s heavyweight sequence, Wanda and Vision’s final moments are tenderly delivered. One of the season’s biggest questions has asked what exactly Vision is, and Wanda’s explanation of him being her sadness, hope, and love – while perhaps being lacking for Marvel sleuths – effectively drills to the point of the show. This was never a mystery story at all, it’s simply a tale of someone struggling with the memory of a loved one. Magic may have made that physical, but this was all emotion rather than any form of conspiracy to crack.
Talking of conspiracies to crack, it’s impossible to ignore WandaVision’s handling of Evan Peters’ Pietro, who was revealed to be… just some guy called Ralph Bohner. Using Evan Peters for the role and stringing the mystery out over multiple episodes feels like something of an unfair trick from Marvel. In a universe that has built its reputation and reason to be on its interconnectedness, it feels as if fan investment in the multiple worlds of Marvel has been leveraged to create excitement for no payoff at all, and worse still a dick joke to cap it all off. It feels much like Iron Man 3’s Mandarin reveal, but without the actual fun.
Quicksilver isn’t the only one who is underserved by the finale. After being one of the show’s most compelling characters for almost its entire run, Monica sadly misses out on a major moment to cap her arc. It’s great that her time in the spotlight is spent saving Billy and Tommy – superhero stories often forget that heroes are there to save people – but that she doesn’t get to unleash all hell on Hayward herself after multiple episodes of building antagonism between them is unfortunate. Similarly, Jimmy and Darcy are provided just fleeting moments, and neither feel as if their stories are truly given a conclusion. Thankfully Monica does get her own post-credits scene, promising more from her, Nick Fury, and the Skrulls in the future.
With little focus on the supporting cast, it meant Agatha had her chance to shine as the finale’s sort-of-antagonist. Writer Jac Schaeffer makes the right call of ensuring Wanda is constantly framed as the show’s actual villain, with plenty of call-backs to her mistakes and the way she’s terrorised the people of Westview. But this does mean that much of Agatha’s fun comes only in the gleefully outlandish performance from Kathryn Hahn, rather than the character’s rather stock motivations and actions. Instead of feeling genuinely manipulative, the moments of adversity came through underwhelming spell slinging. WandaVision has always been about matters of the heart and mind, so this finale would have been better served by cutting much of the action and opting for something more cerebral.
Agatha’s actions do, however, bring out the true Scarlet Witch in Wanda, and this makes for one of the strongest costume reveals in the whole MCU. The Scarlet Witch truly feels like a living legend; a force that’s barely contained. Of particular note is the centre of her headpiece, which features a ‘M’ shaped segment that resembles Magneto’s helmet. If WandaVision has taught us anything, it’s not to look too deeply at anything, but this is a lovely nod and wink nonetheless.
A Quiet Place: Part II has been subject to several release date changes. The movie was originally slated to begin its international rollout on March 18, 2020, with a UK debut expected on March 19 and the US release set for March 20, but it was postponed a week before its release. The sequel then received a new release date of September 4, 2020, before moving to April 23, 2021, and later September 17.

Krasinski took to Twitter on Thursday night to announce the new release date for his movie. He tweeted: “They always say good things come to those who wait. Well… I think we’ve waited long enough. A QUIET PLACE PART II. MEMORIAL DAY.”
The latest round of rescheduling comes shortly after news emerged of Paramount’s plans to shorten the theatrical windows for its upcoming slate of movies, with A Quiet Place: Part II reportedly being lined up for a release on Paramount+ a mere 45 days after its theatrical debut, which means the highly anticipated sequel would now premiere on Paramount+ in July.
Serving as both a prequel and a sequel, the follow-up to Krasinski’s smash-hit horror flick from 2018 will follow the remnants of the Abbott family who are facing the terrors of the outside world as they continue their fight for survival in silence while also discovering new threats in the form of other humans scrambling, and killing, to exist as they venture into the unknown.
The movie has received largely positive reactions from its advanced screenings, with some critics addressing the unrelenting tension and suspense of the story while others heaped on the praise for the soundscape and the performances of new-to-the-series Cillian Murphy and the returning Millicent Simmonds, hailing the sequel as a worthy and terrifying successor.

People Can Fly is patching the Outriders demo to address player activity and fix bugs. One major change will make it harder to farm legendary items in the demo after players discovered a ‘loot cave’ amid other unintended exploits.
The full patch notes can be found on Reddit, where a Square Enix representative notes that the popular demo has been downloaded by over 2 million players since its launch on February 25.
A backend update is coming later today that will tweak mob health statistics and stop players from farming legendary items with an exploit. This exploit allowed players to load into a mission, loot a trio of chests and repeat. People Can Fly has now made it so that chests will no longer drop legendary loot, and shops and vendors won’t feature epic items either. As an alternative, repeat runs of side quests will now offer a chance to drop legendary loot, to incentivize a more above-board method of farming. The post notes that some of the exploits found were not “within the spirit of the game,” which is why the developers are stepping in.
People Can Fly also warned that those who have already used the demo exploits may see their progression impacted in the main game when it launches next month. “While we have balanced the main game with a certain progression system, this progression may be impacted by heavy farming of gear and/or mods in the demo,” the post reads. “As some players are front-loading a lot of that progression (such as by trying to fill their mod library or acquire multiple Legendaries) within the demo content already, their experience of parts of the main game may well be impacted.”
A patch coming early next week will also add requested features like a Motion Blur toggle and implement loading time and frame rate tweaks, as well as fix several crashes across all platforms. Going forward, People Can Fly is looking at a number of issues to address including camera shake in cut-scenes, items disappearing from player inventories and cheating players.
Well, it’s over. WandaVision Episode 9, “The Series Finale,” is streaming now on Disney+, and no matter what else you may have thought about it, the final chapter was at least full of Easter eggs and references for us to break down. If that’s what you’re interested in, go ahead and keep scrolling.
Of course, there’s a lot to say about the episode itself, and we have no doubt that fans are going to be divided on this one. On one hand, it provided closure and emotional payoff for Wanda and Vision’s story so far throughout the MCU, and it was fantastic to spend so much time with these normally secondary Avengers (compared with the likes of Iron Man and Captain America, at least). On the other hand, this episode left a lot of dangling threads that may or may not be picked up down the road in future MCU movies and shows.
Plus, the Evan Peters casting turned out to be a red herring all along. Can you believe it? Let us know in the comments below, and keep reading for all the Easter eggs and comics references we spotted in WandaVision’s finale.
1. “The Series Finale”
In case you were wondering if there would ever be a WandaVision Season 2, the episode title says it all. This final installment is called “The Series Finale,” which is both a nod to the sort of TV-centric language used in other episode titles and a clarification that this is most likely the end of this series.
2. Vision vs. Vision
While the two Visions haven’t fought in the comics, the two of them coming together certainly has its place in Marvel lore. An early-’90s miniseries, which we’ll discuss in more detail below, digs deep into the differences between the two Visions and what could bring them together. Of course, in WandaVision they first have to attempt to destroy each other.
3. The Darkhold
The Darkhold was first introduced in episode 7 (read all about it) and it’s back as Agatha attempts to wield it against Wanda. Of course, it also comes into play during one of the post-credits scenes, which we’ll get to.
4. Sorcerer Supreme
According to Agatha, the Scarlet Witch is more powerful than even the Sorcerer Supreme. Take that, Doctor Strange. Perhaps we’ll see them shoot magic at each other in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
5. “I’m not a witch”
Even in the face of all of the evidence, at this point Wanda still doesn’t believe she’s a witch. There’s part of us that wants to think it’s because she’s a mutant. However, by the end of the story she’s very clearly the true Scarlet Witch and one of the most powerful beings in the universe.
6. Dottie Returns
It’s been a while since we saw Dottie. At one point, there were some theories that she was going to be a bigger piece of the overall puzzle. That wasn’t the case, though. Instead, she’s just another citizen of Westview stuck under Wanda’s spell.
7. RIP Pietro
So it turns out Evan Peters isn’t playing Quicksilver from the X-Men franchise of movies. Instead, he’s just another citizen of Westview, though one under the control of Agnes. Meet Ralph Bohner, who evidently is an aspiring actor based on the headshot Monica finds. Yes, it would have been much better if this was tied to the X-Men franchise–and it would have made more sense too.
8. The reality of Wanda’s family
As Wanda begins to bring down the Hex, we see not only Vision disappearing but their twins Tommy and Billy–the first true sign that like Vision, they are creations of the hex and cannot survive without it.
9. Monica’s powers on display
Not only does Monica zip across the town square to protect Wanda’s sons from bullets, she turns intangible to absorb them–all powers she has in the comics.
10. The Ship of Theseus
Vision and, well, Vision have a discussion about the Ship of Theseus, a thought experiment in which you decide whether a ship, which has had all of its parts replaced over time, is in fact the same ship it was originally. This particular idea dates back to ancient philosophers.
11. A merging of Visions
The end of the fight between Vision and his white counterpart is actually rather peaceful and enlightening, with the Vision we know and love activating White Vision’s latent memories. From there, White Vision simply says, “I am Vision” and flies away. We don’t know where he went, but at the very least this should keep Paul Bettany around in the MCU and give us the Vision and Wanda reunion we’re all going to need after this.
In the comics, a similar storyline ended with the two Visions merging, when the good Vision’s mind was transferred to the evil version’s.
12. Wanda’s headpiece
As Agatha attempts to convince Wanda to hand over her powers, we see the traditional Scarlet Witch headpiece begin to form itself around Wanda’s head. That’s not the last we’ll see of that look, though.
13. Runes
In the last episode, we saw that Agatha surrounded Wanda in ancient runes, which prevented her from using magic. Now, Wanda returns the favor, covering the Hex in those same runes, rendering Agatha’s powers useless against her.
14. A Scarlet Witch is born
Last week, Wanda saw a vision of herself as the Scarlet Witch, costume and all. Now, in this episode, it came true. In the middle of her final fight with Agatha, Wanda takes the time for a makeover to become the Scarlet Witch in a fancy new costume that will surely be seen in future movies. She could also open up a business in which she quickly designs and fabricates superhero costumes.
15. The nosy neighbor
After defeating Agatha, Wanda punishes her in a particularly cruel (as Agatha herself points out) way: Wanda turns Agatha back into Agnes, the “nosy neighbor.” Honestly, that’s probably a better role for Kathryn Hahn anyway, so we can’t be too upset about it.
16. Signing off
What’s a series finale to an action-packed TV show without a few deaths? When Wanda brought the Hex down, it took with it Vision and the twins. It didn’t seem to hurt then as much as when she started bringing the Hex down earlier in the episode, which is odd.
17. Goodbye, Monica
In the first post-credits scene, we see a government agent pull Monica aside to speak to her, only to reveal that agent is actually a Skrull who has been sent to bring her to space to see a friend of her mother’s. That should tie nicely into Captain Marvel 2.
18. The multiverse?
So Billy and Tommy apparently aren’t dead? In a post credits scene, we see Wanda living in solitude on a mountain somewhere. Wherever she is, she’s astrally projecting herself in an effort to do two things at once. One of her is making tea and enjoying the solitude. The other is studying the Darkhold, growing her powers, and, based on hearing Billy and Tommy screaming for their mom to help them, scanning the multiverse for a reality where her sons exist. This is the closest we got to a hint about what Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will be about, though it remains to be seen how Wanda would be able to move between realities. And even if she did, those versions of Billy and Tommy wouldn’t be the same ones from this reality’s version of Westview.
There are so many questions that need to be answered and, at the very least, some of them will be addressed in the next Doctor Strange movie. Without more context, though, there’s no way to know what’s actually happening.
