eFootball PES 2020 is celebrating the football sim’s 25th anniversary with a new update and the introduction of the Iconic Moment Series to fantasy team-building mode, MyClub. In addition to numerous bug fixes in update 1.09, Data Pack 5.0 includes over 30 new and updated player faces, plus a special kit for a German team celebrating its 120th anniversary.

The Iconic Moment Series is an ongoing showcase of memorable matches produced by the sport’s biggest stars, both past and present. Each Iconic Moment player commemorates a specific game from their illustrious career, with every player card featuring an image from that match and attributes to mirror their skillset during that period. Matching an Iconic Moment player with their affiliated team will also give them a stat boost.

If you hop onto PES 2020 now, you’ll receive a free Iconic Moment Series Legend version of Diego Maradona, commemorating his performance in the 1983 Spanish Cup Final for Barcelona. After this, the rest of the players will need to be unlocked by completing in-game campaigns or by spending MyClub coins to hopefully earn one in a box draw.

Aside from this, Data Pack 5.0 adds over 30 new and updated player faces largely found across European clubs. The likes of Achraf Hakimi, Reece James, and Todd Cantwell have been updated, along with multiple players from RCD Mallorca. You can also play as FC Bayern München in a new 120th-anniversary kit.

Mortal Kombat 11 was a fantastic conclusion to the modern trilogy’s story, but it’s also an incredible fighting game with a robust online community, and this weekend, you’ll be able to join them free of charge. Mortal Kombat 11 is free to play on PS4 and Xbox One from now until Monday, March 9. The best and most surprising part is that the free trial includes the latest DLC character, The Joker–normally, games don’t offer extra content during free periods.

If you’re interested in keeping Mortal Kombat 11 and playing past the weekend, then you’re in luck. Publisher Warner Bros. Interactive has discounted all versions of the game and the Kombat Pack, which comes with every DLC character announced so far–this includes Terminator T-800, The Joker, and the upcoming Spawn. You can grab the base game on either platform for $42, the Kombat Pack for $28, or the Premium Edition for $63. If you’re subscribed to PlayStation Plus, Xbox Live Gold, or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, then you’ll receive an even greater discount. Thankfully, the Steam version is discounted as well.

On top of that, Plus, Gold, or Game Pass Ultimate will give you access to Mortal Kombat 11’s online multiplayer portion. Being a fighting game, a large amount of the appeal is playing online against other players, but Mortal Kombat 11 puts a large focus on staying connected to the internet due to its loot system. Thankfully, without a subscription, you can still get loot as well as access the Krypt, AI battles, and most of the Towers of Time–there are specific co-operative towers you won’t be able to participate in.

GameSpot’s Mortal Kombat 11 review scored the game a 9/10. Critic Edmond Tran praised the accessible yet deep fighting system, bombastic story mode, and comprehensive tutorials.

“MK11 isn’t just a sequel for series fans and NetherRealm devotees, it’s a gateway into the realm of fighting games for anyone who has a passing interest in watching ruthless warriors beat each other silly,” he wrote. “Streamlined mechanics keep the act of fighting furiously exciting no matter what your skill level, and comprehensive tutorials encourage you to dig into the nitty-gritty.”

Mortal Kombat 11 isn’t the only game with a free-trial period right now. Rainbow Six Siege is also free to play this weekend ahead of the new season, which is expected to launch soon.

Craig Mazin, co-writer of the TV adaptation of The Last of Us, has promised that Ellie will still be gay in the HBO series.

After the TV series was announced yesterday, Mazin replied to some people who were asking him questions about it on Twitter, one of who brought up the topic of maintaining the characters’ sexualities.

You have my word.

— Craig Mazin (@clmazin) March 5, 2020

When another person on Twitter replied Mazin’s tweet, saying “Bag it and tag it this tweet is now evidence,” he replied to them saying, “Correct. It is a receipt.”

It was first confirmed that Ellie is gay in The Last of Us DLC, Left Behind, in which she kisses her friend Riley in a flashback. Ellie’s sexuality will be explored further and be much more present in The Last of Us Part 2.

“Ellie is gay,” co-writer Halley Gross said back in 2018. “Ellie was born gay. This is just who she is. And to explore who she is as a teenager and as an adult, it wouldn’t be honoring her character to hide some facet of herself. We want to engage with her as a full character.”

During E3 2018, a gameplay video of The Last of Us Part 2 opened up with Ellie kissing new character Dina. Not much else is known about how the characters interact further into the game’s plot but given that Dina says Ellie has a better chance getting with her than the boys in their friend group, it seems likely they’ll become lovers.

HBO’s The Last of Us show is replacing the previously planned movie adaptation of the game. Mazin is writing it alongside the game’s original writer Neil Druckmann while Naughty Dog president Evan Wells is an executive producer. It’s also been revealed that Sony Pictures Television and PlayStation Productions will co-produce the series.

The Last of Us Part 2 is due to come out for PlayStation 4 on May 29, 2020 after its release date was delayed last year.

March is a busy month for Pokemon Go, with a variety of different events on the way over the next few weeks, including the kickoff of the Go Battle League’s inaugural season. Two of this month’s events are now live, both of which will run through Monday, March 9.

Team Rocket Takeover

First is the Team Rocket takeover. From now until 10 PM local time on March 9, Dark, Poison, and other Pokemon typically associated with Team Rocket will appear more often in the wild. The rare Dark type Absol is one of the Pokemon you’ll be able to encounter, and you’ll also have a chance to find a Shiny Skorupi for the first time in Pokemon Go.

During the event, there will be a surge in Team Rocket activity on Saturday, March 7, from 2-5 PM local time. During that window, more Poke Stops will be under the control of Team Rocket grunts. Team Rocket leaders Sierra, Arlo, Cliff, and even Giovanni will also be more active during this time. Not only will you earn twice the usual amount of Stardust for defeating the leaders, there’s a chance the Shadow Pokemon you rescue from them could be Shiny.

Darkrai Raid Weekend

In addition to the Team Rocket takeover, the Mythical Pokemon Darkrai has returned to the game for a limited time. You’ll be able to encounter the Mythical Dark type in five-star Raids until 10 PM local time on March 9. Not only does this give you another chance to add the powerful Pokemon to your team, but this time, the Darkrai you face may also be Shiny. If you need help catching it, be sure to check out our Darkrai Raid guide.

There are a lot more events on the horizon for Pokemon Go this month. The Psychic Spectacular returns starting March 27. Before that, Niantic will hold March’s Community Day, which will feature the Psychic-type Pokemon Abra. The Gen 5 Legendary Thundurus is also available in Raid Battles, and there’s a new set of Field Research tasks. Each time you complete a Research Breakthrough this month, you’ll earn an encounter with the Grass/Steel Pokemon Ferroseed.

Since its inception, there’s one aspect of Resident Evil that has never changed: safe rooms. They’re a reprieve from the dangers on the other side of their entrances, but in Resident Evil 3 Remake you won’t have a space for a breath.

In the latest issue of the Official Xbox Magazine, it’s been confirmed that Nemesis will be the first enemy in Resident Evil history that can follow you into safe rooms, giving you no chance to heal up or save your game in peace. This is in addition to the persistent foe being far more nimble and deadly than Mr. X in Resident Evil 2, making it a far more imposing threat on the streets of Raccoon City.

There are certain areas where Nemesis won’t be able to follow you, many of which house puzzles and story beats that wouldn’t work otherwise. But these are scripted sections that you can as easy return to like previous safe houses, giving you fewer ways to escape Nemesis entirely.

Resident Evil 3 Remake is launching on April 10 for PS4, Xbox One and PC. You can catch up on our impressions from the opening hours of the game, which will hopefully be available to play soon in the announced (but undated) demo.
