Once you start digging into the content found in Destiny 2‘s newly released Season of Dawn, you’ll quickly take on quests for Osiris, the exiled Warlock and Vex expert on Mercury. Osiris is with unforeseen fallout from the Vex Offensive on the moon in the Season of the Undying, which just concluded. Fighting the Vex on the moon saved one of the solar system’s locations, but your battles with the time-traveling robots has literally broken time on Mercury.
To fix it, you’ll fight through various time periods linked together by Osiris’s big time travel machine, the Sundial. As you complete runs of the Sundial, you’ll earn new weapons torn from different timelines–including Perfect Paradox, the shotgun of the legendary Guardian, Saint-14. Once you have the gun, you’ll unlock a new quest, and one of the first steps to completing it requires you to find and destroy something called “Vex Transformers.”
There are 15 Vex Transformers scattered across three planets, and you’ll need to find and shoot them all to move the quest forward. The transformers, which are white, glowing Vex cubes, are well-hidden and can be tough to track down, but you have an edge–all the transformers are marked on your map to give you an idea of where to look. We’ve located all the transformers on each of the planets to give you a hand. Here’s where to find all the Vex Transformers so you can get Osiris’ time machine functioning.
Commandos, the long-dormant real-time strategy series, is coming back for next-generation consoles. Gamesindustry.biz is reporting that Kalypso Media Group is expanding, and has opened a new studio with the express intent of developing a new Commandos game–the first entry in the franchise since 2006’s Commandos: Strike Force.
The studio, which is based in Frankfurt, will be headed by Jürgen Reusswig. He previously served as studio manager at Sunflowers, which has published the Anno series in the past. According to Kalypso Media Group managing director Simon Hellwig, Kalypso is looking to “expand (their) internal and external development efforts,” and is returning to the Commandos series because it is “a great, globally recognized brand.”
Development on the new Commandos game, which will be the sixth in the series, has not started. A HD remake of Commandos 2, developed by Australia-based Torus games, is also due for PC, PS4, and Xbox One in January 2020, with Switch and mobile versions to follow. That game received an 8.8/10 in our original 2001 review of it.

Resident Evil 3 Remake Release Date & More From Sony’s State Of Play – GS News Update
The reboot of the classic Christmas movie Home Alone has cast its first actors. According to Variety, Disney has signed Archie Yates, Ellie Kemper, and Rob Delaney for starring roles in the Disney+ movie.
Variety reports that the new Home Alone will not feature a new version of Kevin McCallister, the boy played by Macaulay Culkin in the original movie. Instead, the movie is creating a new character “in a similar premise,” with Yates playing the role of this young boy.
The 1990 original movie saw Culkin’s McCallister being forgotten by his family as they head off for vacation and being left … home alone. Burgulars played by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern try to steal from the home. McCallister famously and hilariously defends his home from the bad guys by creating a series of booby traps.
Kemper and Delaney, meanwhile, were rumoured to be playing Yates’ parents, but Variety states that this is not the case. They might be portraying another couple, but this is not confirmed. Kemper has starred in The Office, Bridesmaids, and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, while Delaney played the briefly memorable Peter in Deadpool 2 and more recently had roles in Hobbs & Shaw and Last Christmas.
According to a previous Collider report, the Home Alone reboot will tell the story of a “married couple who go to war with a young boy who has stolen something from them.”
Dan Mazer, who is known for writing the Sacha Baron Cohen movies Borat and Bruno, will direct the new Home Alone. Mazer also wrote Bridget Jones’s Baby and Office Christmas Party. He directed I Give It A Year and Dirty Grandpa, and he earned an Oscar nomination for Borat.
The movie is being written by Mike Day and Streeter Seidell, who currently write for and act on the popular NBC comedy show Saturday Night Live. There is no word on when the new Home Alone movie will begin shooting or when it will premiere.
1990’s Home Alone was a big success, leading to a 1992 sequel Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, and later further sequels that did not feature Culkin. The movies were produced by Fox, which was acquired by Disney in 2019.
Before Disney bought Fox, it was reported that Ryan Reynolds was making an R-rated version of Home Alone called Stoned Alone for Fox. In this movie, Reynolds misses his flight and then goes home and gets baked. He becomes paranoid when he hears someone breaking into his house. Someone actually is, and then Reynolds must defend his home while stoned. It sounds wonderful, but it’s unknown if the project is still in motion now that Disney–a family friendly company–owns Fox.

Anno 1800 has just released its third expansion, titled The Passage. The DLC, which is the third and final piece included in the season pass, asks players to establish an outpost in the Arctic Circle, and makes players build under snowy, cold conditions. It introduces a new heating mechanic, and allosw players to construct airship fleets for faster transport. It also adds two new citizen tiers, seven new production chains, 32 new buildings, 60 new quests, and 80 new items. You can watch the expansion’s launch trailer below.
Anno 1800 is expanding for all players, even those without the expansion pass, with a new co-op mode and statistics system. Co-op supports up to 16 players across four factions, letting them work together to achieve the best outcome. The new statistics system gives players a more detailed look at the figures for their production and consumption of all their goods across all islands.
The game has also added some festive DLC, with a new Holiday Pack adding 23 Christmas-themed items to the game. These include a festive carousel, Christmas trees, snowmen, lanterns, and more. These will allow you to add some Christmas spirit to your towns.
The base game of Anno 1800 will be made free to play on Uplay and the Epic Game Store from December 11 until December 18, so you can jump into the game and try it out for free. The game is also available as part of Uplay +, despite being absent at launch, and is not available on Steam.
Anno 1800 received a 7/10 in our review, and reviewer David Wildgoose found that it was beautiful, but a little cold. “As a city-building sim that emphasizes economic management, it is as robust and powerful as the steel factories it allows you to pollute the skies with. But for all the natural beauty of its island paradise and the architectural splendor of its churches, theatres, and piers, it’s just a little too cold in its reliance on numbers and a little too impenetrable in its reluctance to show you its workings.”

The Crisis just keeps growing and growing. This Arrowverse crossover opened with the destruction of Supergirl’s universe and has only continued to escalate from there. A multiverse comprised of thousands of parallel Earths has shrunk to a small handful as this episode opens. Unfortunately, this episode also raises an important question. Is there such a thing as too big when it comes to superhero crossovers? That’s a question that has to be asked as Crisis continues to draw in more heroes and balance more plot threads.
Practically no one is safe in the latest Arrow-verse crossover–regardless of how significant a character they are in DC Comics mythology. Crisis on Infinite Earths, thus far, has killed off a version of Bruce Wayne (Kevin Conroy), as well as the Green Arrow (Stephen Amell). Of course, it remains to be seen how permanent the Green Arrow’s death is. Warning: The following contains spoilers for the third installment of the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover. If you have yet to see it, stop reading now.
Now, you can add The Flash to the list. No, the Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) you tune in to watch every week on The CW isn’t dead. Instead, it was the Barry Allen of Earth-90, played by John Wesley Shipp. For those having trouble keeping track of the infinite Earths of the Arrow-verse, that’s the same Flash from the 1990s TV series.
All this season, the Monitor (LaMonica Garrett) has told Barry (Gustin) that the Flash had to die during the Crisis. At no point did he think it was possible that the Flash in question was one from another Earth. In the third episode of the crossover, though, viewers saw that prophecy come to pass as Earth-90’s Flash disintegrated while trying to stop the wave of anti-matter from destroying Earth-1–which ultimately proved futile.
Still, with his demise, The CW paid tribute to the original Flash TV series by flashing back to a memory of the elder Barry’s, in which he shares a tender moment with Tina (Amanda Pays), the character’s love interest on the show.
In the end, with Earth-90’s Flash dead and the entirety of the multiverse destroyed, a handful of heroes were sent to the Vanishing Point to figure out how to reverse everything that’s been unleashed.
In the comics, the Vanishing Point is a dimension that exists outside of the time/space continuum, meaning the anti-matter wave that killed off the various Earths did not harm it.
How those who survive–The Flash (Gustin), Supergirl (Melissa Benoist), Batwoman (Ruby Rose), Ryan Choi (Osric Chau), Sara Lance (Caity Lotz), J’onn J’onzz (David Harewood), and Lex Luthor (Jon Cryer)–will save the multiverse or any of the people that have been wiped out of existence is anyone’s guess. Another mystery is what happened to Superman (Brandon Routh), who also went to the Vanishing Point before he was replaced with Lex.
These are questions that won’t get answered until January 14, when the final two installments in the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover air on The CW.

Crimson Desert, announced last month, took the gaming community by storm with an absolutely stunning reveal trailer (see it near the bottom of this page). Its goal is to tell the story of Black Desert Online’s past and is tabbed as developer Pearl Abyss’ next flagship title.
We’ve wrangled a handful of new screenshots from the Pearl Abyss team, which you can see in the gallery just below. “The character you see in our key art is Macduff, son of Martinus,” Pearl Abyss told us, specifically referencing the final image in our gallery. “He’s the leader of a ragtag band of mercenaries. Macduff is a man in constant turmoil, struggling with the responsibilities of leadership and the survival of those who rely on him. He has a tragic past and no matter how hard he tries, he cannot escape from it.”
Layoffs are expected as Marvel Television is folded into the rest of Marvel Studios.
The Hollywood Reporter explains titles currently in development, like Hulu’s animated shows and Helstrom, will continue. Marvel Television boss Jeph Loeb will remain on board during the transition but is expected to leave the company soon after it is completed.
Quentin Tarantino, the director of this year’s Golden Globe contender Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, has previously said that his upcoming Star Trek movie might be the last one that he ever makes. But the director–who is currently working on a play and television series that he has not discussed the details of–is also thinking about how to bring back one of his classic characters.
In an interview with Andy Cohen on Sirius XM (embedded below,) Tarantino was asked about the long-rumored Kill Bill 3, and whether it will ever happen. “Well, I just so happen to have had dinner with Uma Thurman last night,” Tarantino says, saying that they had a “lovely night”. Speaking to the question of Kill Bill specifically, he says “well, I do have an idea of what I would do. That was the whole thing, conquering that concept of, ‘what’s happened to the bride? And what do I want to do?'”
Tarantino says that The Bride “deserves better” than “some cockamamie adventure,” but that he now has an idea that “could be interesting.” However, it’ll have to wait until he’s done with his current projects. “I wouldn’t do it for a little bit. It would be at least three years from now or something like that. But it’s definitely in the ether.”
Tarantino has talked about making sequels and spin-offs before, though, including earlier career plans to make a film that would unite the Vega brothers from Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, which never happened. However, that was planned as a prequel that became less viable as actors Michael Madsen and John Travolta aged. Kill Bill 3 undoubtedly has a greater chance of being made.

After a tense run-in with some House Kurita forces, I see that one of my employed MechWarriors is apparently going to be out for 57 days with injuries. Oh, come on! That’s more paid time off than I’ve ever had in my entire life! Take the weekend to rest up and be back in the Jenner on Monday, you slacker! I have a demanding business to manage here and, more importantly, buildings to gleefully stomp on and a huge variety of giant robots to blow up. MechWarrior 5 brings some great old school joy, and it certainly hasn’t developed much sentimentality in its time away.
It’s been almost two decades since MechWarrior 4, but it seems like Piranha Games has gone to quite a bit of effort to not mess up the task of picking up where it left off. Mercenaries includes over 50 mechs to pilot, from the spritely Locust to the hulking Annihilator, and each comes with a handful of variants with different weapon loadouts. These can each be further customized in truly impressive fashion with a variety of destructive lasers, missiles, and ballistic weapons. You can even fine-tune the armor on every part of your mech down to each individual point… or there’s a handy “Deck me out fam” button that does a decent enough job filling in the gaps for those of us who don’t want to get that granular.
