PUBG Adds Horizon Zero Dawn Skins On PS4

A new crossover event is now live in the PS4 version of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Developer PUBG Corp. has partnered with Guerrilla Games, the studio behind Horizon Zero Dawn, to bring an assortment of Horizon-inspired outfits and weapon skins to the battle royale title, but you only have a few weeks to get them.

A total of four Horizon-inspired cosmetics are now available to unlock: an Eclipse Top, Eclipse Mask, Eclipse Kar98k, and a pan emblazoned with a Horizon Zero Dawn emblem. Each item can only be obtained a certain way, which are outlined in the image below:

  • Eclipse Top — Log in to PUBG
  • Eclipse Mask — Play 10 games during the event period
  • Eclipse Kar98k — Purchase from the in-game store (8,000 BP)
  • Horizon Zero Dawn Pan — Kill 10 players with the crossbow

The Horizon crossover items will only be available until April 5, and much like the previous Uncharted and Last of Us cosmetics, they’re exclusive to the PS4 version. You can read additional details about the crossover event on the official PUBG website.

PUBG certainly isn’t a stranger to collaborations of this sort. On top of the aforementioned Uncharted and Last of Us items, the mobile version of the game recently featured a Resident Evil 2-themed crossover event, and PUBG Corp. previously added Suicide Squad-themed skins to the game.

In addition to the Horizon crossover items, PUBG Corp. has rolled out a new content update for the game on consoles, bringing the new Bizon weapon, Canted Sight, moonlight weather setting for Vikendi, and more. You can read the full patch notes here.

Pokemon Go Bringing Rayquaza Back For New Raid Weekend Event

Niantic is bringing back a popular Legendary Pokemon for a special Pokemon Go event next weekend. Beginning March 15, Rayquaza will return to the game for a limited time, giving players their first opportunity to capture it in nearly a year.

The special Raid Weekend event kicks off at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET and runs until the same time on Monday, March 18. Throughout the weekend, the Sky High Pokemon will appear in Raid Battles. As usual, you’ll first need to team up with other players and defeat the Legendary before you can attempt to catch it.

Rayquaza isn’t the only Gen 3 Legendary to make an encore appearance in Pokemon Go recently. Latias also returned for a special Raid event at the end of February, and Niantic has teased that its twin, Latios, will likewise be the subject of its own Raid event in the future.

The latest Legendary Pokemon to appear in Go is Dialga, the cover mascot of Pokemon Diamond. It will appear in Raid Battles until March 28. Additionally, Niantic has introduced two new Shiny Pokemon–Mankey and Machop–as part of the Battle Showdown event, which will run until March 12.

This month’s Pokemon Go Community Day takes place on Saturday, March 23. The featured Pokemon will be Treecko, one of the three starters from Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire. You’ll also be able to hatch Eggs at a quarter of their usual distance during the event.

Mortal Kombat 11 Cassie Cage Trailer Reveals Her Moveset

NetherRealm has released the official Mortal Kombat 11 reveal trailer for Cassie Cage. Although Cassie was confirmed today to be included in the upcoming Mortal Kombat game, the new trailer offers a more detailed sampling of her moveset. It can be watched in the video above.

First seen in Mortal Kombat X, Cassie Cage is the daughter of both Sonya Blade and Johnny Cage, two other Mortal Kombat fan favorites who have also been confirmed for the eleventh entry (along with several other fighters). Like her mother, Cassie has near perfect aim when it comes to using firearms and has a knack for utilizing technology. She also takes after her father, though, utilizing his same superhuman abilities to amplify her speed and strength.

Cassie’s inclusion in Mortal Kombat 11 was first revealed in a trailer that dropped earlier today. The trailer also includes Erron Black and Jacqui Briggs, two other Mortal Kombat X fighters, and focuses on Kronika and her attempts to fix the rift being caused by Raiden. Her efforts cause multiple realities to be drawn together, which is why Mortal Kombat 11 features so many characters from different time periods.

In preparation for Mortal Kombat 11’s release, NetherRealm is planning an online stress test for March 15-17. The test will be closed save for a select few, and only available in the US on Xbox One and PS4. There will be a follow-up beta test, though, in case you don’t make it in–which will take place from March 28-31. To participate, you’ll need to pre-order Mortal Kombat 11. Just know the beta is only available on Xbox One and PS4. Pre-ordering Mortal Kombat 11 also gets you Shao Kahn as a playable character.

Mortal Kombat 11 releases April 23 for Xbox One, PS4, PC, and Nintendo Switch. You can read more about it in our new Mortal Kombat 11 preview.

Amazon’s Lord of the Rings Could Showcase This Major Villain

Amazon’s Lord of the Rings prequel series may be at least a year from its debut, but the company has begun quietly teasing this highly ambitious, highly expensive project. A series of tweets from the official “The Lord of the Rings on Prime” Twitter account offer a few subtle clues as to when the series might take place and what pieces of J.R.R. Tolkien’s lore the series will focus on.

Little by little, that account has been filling in a map of Middle-earth while quoting portions of the iconic “Ring Verse” that details the creation of Sauron’s Rings of Power. Based on these clues and previous rumors about the series, here are a few things you can probably expect to see in this prequel series.

Controversial Game Rape Day Won’t Be Allowed on Steam

A controversial game where players assume the role of a sociopath during a zombie apocalypse, called Rape Day, will not be sold on Steam.

Confirmed in an official statement on the Steam Blog, Valve decided not to distribute the game, saying “After significant fact-finding and discussion, we think Rape Day poses unknown costs and risks and therefore won’t be on Steam. We respect developers’ desire to express themselves, and the purpose of Steam is to help developers find an audience, but this developer has chosen content matter and a way of representing it that makes it very difficult for us to help them do that.”

Game Of Thrones Season 8 Is A Mystery To George RR Martin

With the final season of Game of Thrones ready to premiere on HBO, fans are dying to know how the epic series will come to an end. If they’re expecting to find out from George RR Martin, author of the A Song of Fire and Ice novels, though, they’re out of luck.

“I haven’t read the [final-season] scripts and haven’t been able to visit the set because I’ve been working on [The Winds of Winter],” he told Entertainment Weekly. “I know some of the things. But there’s a lot of minor-character [arcs] they’ll be coming up with on their own. And, of course, they passed me several years ago. There may be important discrepancies.”

As for the show ending as a whole, Martin explained that he has “mixed feelings about that.” While the adaptation of his novels has become one of the biggest TV shows of all time, the screen version of the story has gone further than the events of the novels. “Obviously, I wished I finished these books sooner so the show hadn’t gotten ahead of me,” he said. “I never anticipated that.”

That said, though, Game of Thrones isn’t necessarily ending. As Martin explained, “It’s not the end for me. I’m still deeply in it. I better live a long time because I have a lot of work left to do.” In addition to The Winds of Winter, a seventh novel–A Promise of Spring–was previously announced. Beyond that, there’s also a prequel in the works.

And if you’re worried that the final season will spoil how the books will end, that shouldn’t be much of a concern. “Now that the show is ahead of the books, it seems the show could ruin the books for people,” co-showrunner David Benioff said. “So one thing we’ve talked to George about is that we’re not going to tell people what the differences are, so when those books come out people can experience them fresh,”

The final season of Game of Thrones premieres Sunday, April 14 on HBO. Make sure to check out the trailer for the new season and our deep dive breakdown into all of the secrets it holds.
